A Family Legacy: The Story of Shawarma King
Shawarma King was started 35 years ago. It was the first Shawarma Restaurant in Calgary Alberta.
Shawarma King isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a cornerstone in Calgary’s culinary scene, a story woven with the threads of family, tradition, and a love for Middle Eastern cuisine.
Our Journey
Over 35 years ago, our journey began with a dream. A dream brought to life by a passionate immigrant who arrived in Calgary with a suitcase full of memories and a heart brimming with the delicious flavours of his homeland.
His first venture wasn’t a grand establishment, but a modest restaurant filled with the enticing aroma of sizzling shawarma. He meticulously marinated meats, using recipes passed down through generations and shaved them to succulent perfection. Each dish was a labour of love, a testament to his heritage, and a promise of a flavour adventure.
His dedication to quality and his warm hospitality soon earned him a loyal following and a well-deserved reputation for the best shawarma in town.
Shawarma King Legacy
Today, the legacy continues. The torch has been passed to his son, who carries the same passion and culinary expertise. We’ve grown from those humble beginnings, but our commitment to quality and tradition remains unchanged. We source the freshest ingredients, use time-tested recipes, and prepare our dishes with the same love and care that started it all.
Shawarma King is more than just wraps. We offer a diverse menu that celebrates the rich culinary tapestry of the Middle East. From our signature shawarma wraps to aromatic platters and decadent baklava, we invite you to experience the warmth and flavours of this fascinating region.
Join us at Shawarma King, and let us take you on a delicious journey. It’s a taste of tradition, a family legacy shared, and a promise of an unforgettable culinary experience.
