Turkish Kebab House SW — Restaurant in Calgary

From the moment you walk into this restaurant, you know you’re in for a treat. I came in with zero expectations and was left with such a wonderful impression of Turkish Kebab House.

At first, I wasn’t sure if this was more of a dine in experience or take out restaurant but ultimately decided to take out. I also wasn’t sure about the portion sizes and decided to order one meal to share with my husband. I was patiently guided by the Hostess and Manager through the menu to find an option that both my husband and I could enjoy. We chose a platter that had one chicken skewer and one beef skewer. We also ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice.

After ordering my meal, I was expecting to just wait in my car but instead, the hostess was kind enough to offer me a table and tea while I wait. Again, something I did not expect at all but was very appreciative of.

Even though I ordered takeout, I was asked multiple times if I had been helped and if there’s anything I needed. I was even updated regarding the amount of time I could expect to wait for my meal. If they were this helpful and kind while waiting for takeout, I can only imagine the level of service provided for dine in customers.

Once our meal was prepared, my husband and I could not wait until we got home. The meal smelt amazing. I enjoyed the chicken skewer which was perfectly marinated and grilled while my husband enjoyed the beef skewer. I also enjoyed the bread with the delicious homemade hummus while my husband opted to try the salad. Everything was delicious. We will surely be back in the near future to try more dishes on their menu.

Thank you, Turkish Kebab House. Your food and service...

Among the many dishes that graced our table, none held my heart quite like my own — the legendary Iskender Kebab. But to call it simply a dish would be a disservice. It was a memory awakened, a song of flavor that stirred something ancient within me.

The first bite was a key — unlocking a door in time. Suddenly, I was back in Istanbul, on the Asian side, where the waters of the Bosphorus shimmer like poetry under the evening light. I remember the place so clearly: a modest, timeworn restaurant tucked between cobbled alleys, its wooden beams steeped in history, its walls echoing with quiet laughter and the clinking of tea glasses.

The scent of the city lingered in the air — a rich blend of roasted spices, sea salt, and the breath of empires. The streets were alive with whispers of the Ottoman past as if the stones themselves remembered.

And then — the dish. Thin slices of fire-grilled lamb, tender and smoky, laid gently over pieces of pillowy pide bread. A slow-simmered tomato sauce embraced every bite, while a stream of golden melted butter cascaded over the top like sunlight. On the side, a cloud of cool, tangy yogurt, balanced the warmth with its soft, silken touch.

It wasn’t just delicious. It was a reunion with a version of myself, sitting by the water years ago, eyes wide, heart full, discovering what it means to taste history.

And without a doubt, I will return to that little restaurant. To sit again by the Bosphorus, to breathe in the scent of history, and to savor once more the magic of their...
