  New York City Vegetarian and Vegans is you're ever in Calgary you must try the home made hummus and fresh falafels from Baladi Shawarma!! The falafel plates are fresh and delicious. The owners are very awesome and wholesome people the food is phenomenal, must try!

  The good...
  It was our first time here today and it was really, really good! This place is tucked into a cozy corner in the Sage Hill shopping area. It's small inside, screaming easy and super flavorful food. The menu is easy to read, the service was friendly and very prompt. The ingredients are fresh and authentic, serving pickled Persian cucumbers instead of kerbies... so good!
  
  One memorable thing that caught my eye was how they made their wraps, using a thin crepe-like wrap over the parted pita bread. When they finish the wrap in the hot press, it comes out very crispy and lighter than using an only pita. Excellent method and very tasty!
  
  Pricing is very reasonable, medium wraps come at 9 bucks and are stuffed with plenty of meat and vegetables. This place is not chintzy at all!
  
  The bad...
  The beef donair meat was a little too salty, but still very tasty.
  
  The ugly...
  The fellow manning the food preparations has a pretty serious face when it gets busy, but I get the sense he just wants to serve people quickly and not make them wait long for their order.  When it calms down he seems more at ease. I can live with this; the place was pretty busy when we walked in at 4pm.  This was as ugly as it got, otherwise, it was pretty easy and fast to get some chill grub here.
  
  What we ordered...
  A beef donair, a chicken shawarma, a bottle of water. All totaling to $21.
  
  Come again?  
  Oh, you bet!

  Best Donairs! Possibly the best I've had in the city! Good pricing! Great service too

  I've had it 3 times in the last two weeks. Can't say enough good about the food quality. I even reheated a shawarma the next day and it tasted as good.  The one west of this one is not bad but I've found some of the service rude (other locations not like it).  The one east has dry and hard falafels which aren't how it's supposed to be.  I will continue going back here

  Finally some healthy and very tasty fast food near Kincora.
  Ordered 2 falafel platters. Falafel was cooked fresh to order. Came with a fresh greek salad (real kalamata's, not sliced Californian pizza olives), nice roasted potatoes, enough hummus for 4, hot pita, mid eastern style rice, garlic yogurt sauce and tahini. Everything was fresh and very flavorful.
  I watched the order prep from start to finish and hygiene was spot on.
  The lady that prepared the order handed me the order when it was ready. She stated with a big smile, "Made with love for you, please enjoy".
  Awesome first impression from someone that is very particular. Will be going back soon.
  I did not experience anything at all negative.
