The classic Shawarma is a Middle Eastern street food which is made of meat that is cut into thin slices, stacked in an inverted cone, and roasted on a slow-turning vertical spit This fragrant meat is then shaved off and tucked into warm pita bread along with a symphony of fresh vegetables, creamy sauces, and aromatic spices. It is not just mouth watering, but will also help you reach your protein goals!

At Shawarma King, we revere the tradition of shawarma while infusing it with the innovative spirit of Calgary. Let’s dive deeper into our culinary magic and be introduced to the spellbound Middle Eastern miracle: Shawarma.

The Meat Matters:

The heart of any shawarma lies in the succulent, flavorful meat. We offer a variety of options to tantalize your taste buds. Our classic chicken shawarma is marinated in a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, and a secret mix of spices, resulting in tender, juicy chicken with a hint of char from the rotisserie. For adventurous eaters, we offer a bolder lamb shawarma, marinated in a blend of yogurt, garlic, and traditional Middle Eastern spices.

A Symphony of Sauces:

No shawarma experience is complete without a drizzle (or two) of flavorful sauces. We offer a variety of homemade sauces to complement your shawarma, each catering to different taste preferences. From mild creamy sauces to hot and tangy sauces, everything at Shawarma King is filled with authentic Middle Eastern spices and flavors. These are the secrets behind the kick of flavors in every bite.

Locally Sourced, Globally Inspired Ingredients:

Calgary boasts a thriving farmers’ market scene and a treasure trove of multicultural grocery stores. We leverage this abundance by sourcing the freshest ingredients whenever possible. Our crisp lettuce, vine-ripened tomatoes, and crunchy cucumbers come straight from local farms, bursting with seasonal goodness. On the other hand, we import high-quality spices to create our signature marinades, staying true to the shawarma’s Middle Eastern soul.
