This is my favourite food in the entire city. They’re so friendly and they will always remember your order. They are generous with the servings and they always give you more than expected. The guys here give AMAZING service every single time. This will forever be my «cheat» meal.
Love,

A cab driver took us here and we
Have become addicted. Agreed that the place is off the beaten track, and doesn’t look appealing. But the food is tasty, they serve huge portions and their homemade green hot sauce is amazing!
I Go back at least once a month … Oh and it’s open until 4:30am!!!

Located away from the beaten track, so it’s easy to miss with the one way street 12th Ave but if you’re flying down 14th St. at 60 km, you can forget about it, before you know it, you’re over the ramp and got to take the City Centre exit, but I digress.
Nice corner location, with lots of seating, with the right side being a bit more discrete on a raised platform.
It’s got a full selection of Mediterranean and even Indian desserts that I haven’t had for a long time, carrot halwa, a type of pudding. Even butter chicken :)
Shish Kabobs are pretty good value, 2 skewers and generous amount of hommus, rice, house salad and potatoes.
credit cards ok.
Offer catering.
Clean, friendly service, and cool that it’s open late til 2am.

For the practicing Muslims in the audience, this place serves halal meat, and is open until REALLY late (2:30−4:30am depending on the day of the week) for your estival Ramadan food fix. The portions are huge, and while not as tasty a shwarma as Chick Pea (mostly due to better veggies at CP), it gets points for availability outside daytime working hours. They also wrap the shwarma pita in a second layer of flatbread for grill pressing, which lends a nice crispiness to the sandwich.

Shwarma was nothing special. The beef and lamb was pitiful, full of large knobs of chewy rubbery grisle. Ive had better horsemeat shawarma. Falafels are made 2 days on advance. Ingredients look good but tomatoe definitly is a little old. If u cant walk 5 blocks to sammys you are too fat, get some excercise and stop eating shwarmas…
If you cant drive to jimmys, get a job you bum and stop being a leech on society, and buy a junk car for 500 $…

Who likes a shawarma? I like a shawarma, you like a shawarma. Come to think of it, everyone likes a shawarma! And you can bet your lucky shawarma that’s exactly what you’ll find at King of Shawarma (not to be confused with «Shawarma King»), a darn good shawarma.
What made this shawarma a slight step above the majority of shawarma huts (not to be confused with «The Shawarma Hut»)? Was it a late night altered state of mind? Nope, well, yes, but in this particular situation it is the amount and quality of meat you’ll find in your shawarma. With King of Shawarma thee at amount and quality are «a lot» and «good».
The room is what you’d expect at any Calgary shawarma station (not to be confused with «The Shawarma Station»), a few food court style tables, fluorescent lighting, moderate cleanliness and a counter to order your shawarma and a few other ready to go Mediterranean treats.
Shawarma count: 16. 17 including the «shawarma» in my «shawarma count». …19.
