Jimmy’s A&A

I had the chicken shawarma and was quite disappointed. It’s a mess to eat, the flavors are barely there and the meat itself tasted rubbery. I wasn’t able to finish it without getting a sick feeling in my stomach.
The food here is pretty expensive compared to other places. They charge a fee to use their debit machine. I won’t be coming back. There are MUCH better places in the city.

Super weird vibes from the place. Food was super messy and hard to eat, tasted really greasy. Place looks dirty and run down, I hope they have had a health inspection recently. They also charge a fee if you pay with debit. Wtf? Who does that?.

Disaster. High prices and excruciatingly slow service. They dont even accept VISA. What planet qre they on? They dont accept credit cards. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Awesome food… but…it is closed randomly thus 3 stars. If it actually followed the time posted it would be 4.5 stars.

Why did the chicken cross the road? To buy a shawarma from Jimmy’s on 4^th street!
One of the things that makes this second location different than the original Jimmy’s A&A Deli nearby SAIT is that its not as busy except during lunch time! I’m not complaining though. People come here for the experience and reputation that Jimmy and his family created over the years and I think we’re really lucky to have their restaurants in our city. This location has plenty of seating and everyone that works here has worked at the main location so its just a wonderful extension that makes it easier for people in the South or anyone downtown to enjoy their food.
Sometimes I just get that craving for a chicken shawarma from Jimmy’s that I’ll drive from wherever I am in the city just to get one. A shawarma from here is what I give myself as a reward for killing it after a day of working out or if I have time before volleyball, I’ll drop by just to eat a little bit before my game to satisfy my craving and hunger… BUT CRAVING FIRST! hahaha
You know what I found really interesting? Half the people I knew at my last job (which was just minutes from 4^th street) didn’t even know this location existed… They’d actually drive all the way to SAIT just to get one… crazyness I tell you!
And bam! now you don’t have to! Jimmy’s A&A on 4^th satisfy’s cravings, your hunger and satisfies even your satisfaction! haha
I usually order the Combo, which is a half serving on chicken and a half serving of donair meat — DE.LI.CIOUS! its just a perfect mix of meat! its like almost 2am and I’m making myself crave this stuff now. geez. Lately though, I’ve been getting just the chicken shawarma *sigh* my favourite; the original in my books :)
Get what you want. Get a felafel «wrap», add some baklava to your order, grab a drink of their convenience store selection of pop and soda!
You can’t go wrong with a chicken shawarma from jimmy’s on 4^th :)

Oh my chicken shawarma! DH loves shawarma/​falafels so we’re always on the hunt for one. By far, the best chicken shawarma in Calgary. Abundant veggies & the sauce is the key ingredient.
Try the medium shawarma/​falafel first because it is already big. The large size is indeed massive — even my husband couldn’t finish it in one seating.
The place is clean too. The only downside is the $ street parking in downtown but it’s waaay worth it!

If you don’t already know how great Jimmy’s is, then YOU my friend, are the ONLY person missing out.
Jimmy’s makes THE BEST falafel in the city. I’m told their donairs and shawarmas are the best in town as well.
The service is always excellent, the portions are always mind-​blowingly massive, the food is always to die for and the prices are always unbelievably cheap.
So what’s the long and short of it? It’s the same great Jimmy’s A & A that we’ve all come to love, only now it’s also available in downtown Calgary! HOLLLLLLLAAAA!

Oh how I crave Jimmy’s. This place has the best donairs, schwarmas, salads, olives, desserts, etc. ever. I could eat here everyday. The beef donairs use their own special spice mix, the chicken is even better. Portions are huge (get a small) and enjoy a wide selection of drinks (including old school pic-​a-​pop) to wash rhings down. The staff are friendly and chatty and will remember you when you go back. They often give out extras to regulars (like a free backlava or add some extra meat). The place can be a bit loud at lunch time (they play the tunes loud).
