Pita Grill

Love their food I always get the donair their cashew chocolate rolls are soaked with honey. The staff are very polite and friendly.

Grab a quick wrap! The staff was very friendly, the wrap was very good. Great place, will be going back! Would totally recommend this place! (:

This is hands down my favourite shawarma place in Calgary! We moved here from
Toronto and this is the place that comes closest to our favs out east! The staff are so nice and the shawarmas are huge! The regular size was a little bigger than most places which was amazing. They put lots of sauce which totally makes it taste awesome

The BEST place in the city to get a shawarma. The place is a hidden gem and I don’t go anywhere else but here. Their food is fresh and the quality of their products is amazing. The staff are very friendly too. You will not regret coming here!

My favourite thing to order here is the Veggie Falafel. I’ve been to other Mediterranean restaurants and this place serves the freshest vegetables. We like to go there for lunch quite a bit. A lot of companies in the area do. The only down fall is they play there music way too loud. They it’s hard to hear them at the counter when asked a question and you can’t take any business calls because they play their techno/​dance music way too loudly.

March 2016 — I had to up them to 5 stars. The food is awesomely delicious!!! The service is efficient and friendly and their prices are fair. The chicken shawarma is my favourite. The garlic potatoes are a hit. I kind of wished I had gotten some baklava, next time I will. :-)
PS, The garlic sauce is to-​die-​for!

This place is one of my go to food joints for shawarma. The service is great, the staff is friendly and take your orders in an efficient manner. I have only good things to say about these guys. The food is delicious but you had better get there before the lunch rush or you may have to wait your turn.

I’ve been here a couple times and it’s awesome. They’re very generous on the serving size. The rice and potato platter comes with salad and a pita plus dip. I love how they slather the garlic sauce on top!!!

Always the best!
It gets busy here but for good reason. This is probally the best donair/​Shwarma place in Calgary!
Fresh ingredients great sauces and delicious meats.

4 stars for fresh and authentic tasting food and super-​generous portion sizes.
This quaint family business has quickly become a lunch favorite for me. It’ll barely seat 20 so if you come during a busy lunch hour, be prepared to get your food to go.

They have a great product here. They just need a better system for ordering and assembling and paying. If there’s a lineup, don’t expect to get your food in a timely fashion.
It is worth the wait when you do finally get your food.

I went back for a falafel sandwich, and couldn’t believe that the falafels were deep fried to order! I have been searching for a place like this in Calgary for years, but all other places reheat their falafels. I could see the falafels were uncooked when they were putting them in the deep fryer, so I knew they weren’t just re-​frying old ones.

This is one of the best spots in the city to get donairs. the staff are very friendly. Place is clean food is always fresh and tastes great. their donair meat is seasoned to perfection and their sweet sauce is excellent. I love coming here and reccomend it to anyone who like donair and shwarmas.

On a business trip in Calgary I checked the reviews for The Pita Grill.
I was impressed about the many positive reviews and thought I would check it out. To be honest, I wanted to see how this place would compare to my favourite Donair place in Surrey. I never found a place that would give the Donair Affair a close competition.
Well, move over Donair Affair, the Pita Grill is my new favourite Shawarma and Donair place. I was blown away with how much care they were preparing my large chicken shawarma. The chicken was grilled to perfection, the vegetables and sauces were spread evenly on my pita bread and they were more than happy following my special requests. What makes this shawarma also special was the fact that they toasted the master piece as well.
I ordered large and large is an understatement.
I have to say that the staff was also extremely helpful and told me how the vegetable dolmata is home made and that they never have a large stock of Bhaklava and rather sell them always fresh. I also liked that the place looked very clean and was spotless, which speaks for the management of this restaurant.
I am sold, and I will come back for more when I am in the area.
What a neat restaurant. If you love shawarmas and donairs you won’t be leaving disappointed.

Yep, this place is legit! Can’t believe I’ve lived so close for so long and never went there before… guess it’s because I’d almost lost hope of finding a real donair shop. These guys actually treat the donair with respect, by using a very flavorful beef (and actually storing it properly) and using homemade pita bread. You can tell it’s homemade because it’s not just a perfect, white circle like in the package. The sauces are done right and the place always seems very clean… which is rare for a donair joint… so this is definitely a plus.
No doubt that I’ll be heading back asap.

I haven’t been here for a long time but am glad that I went back. They have clearly done a renovation since I last came and it looks great. The best thing about the renovation is that the food hasn’t changed.
Ordered my husband and daughter a large to share and me a small. My husband asked if it was smaller than usual but it wasn’t and he was full after sharing with our toddler. There was nothing that wasn’t great. The balance of meat and sauce etc. was great and it was more than enough for a meal. I got some tabbouleh and baklava as well which stretched it to two meals for three people.
So fantastic and will try not to wait years before we return.

Falafel tasted very authentic — not that I would know but if I were to guess authentic this is what I would guess!
They have those «spits» of meat turning around the burners which I do appreciate.
Food was good.
I would like it better if the had a different type of pita… maybe home made? hahah or a thinner pita? But overall I enjoyed my falafel pita :)
They obviously specialize in Mediterranean food, but they also have Jamaican patties.

Oh, Pita Grill. I couldn’t stay mad at you forever. I now know that as long as I only come during the afternoon shifts M-​F, I don’t have to worry about dirty tables, and old and cold samosa offerings. In the afternoon, this place is a bustling, sparklingly clean place full of falafels, and samosas that look fresh. The staff in the afternoon is friendly and cheerful, and will put as much sriracha on your food as you can handle. Just take off the top and put a straw in the bottle, thanks. I’m writing as many positive things about Pita Grill as I can, before I stroke out from reaching MFD: Maximum Falafel Density.
I LOVE YOU.
Bonus points for the phonetic spelling of my name on my order bag: Teffuni

I love this place.
First of all, the service is great. Consistent staff who know what they are doing and present owners make for a good experience time after time. They are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.
The food is great-​what a nice alternative to traditional fast food. AS a previous reviewer noted-​the portions are crazy big so order carefully. Both the schwarma and the donairs are excellent. Fresh ingredients put together very well. The baklava is also good if you are wanting a little something something to indulge your sweet tooth afterwards.
They also have a range of specialty middle east grocery products for sale and some different sodas you wouldn’t see elsewhere.
This has become a regular spot for us to grab dinner on the go and it’s something I actually have started to crave if we go too long between visits. Definitely something you should check out!

I have been frequenting Pita Grill from time to time over the last year, in my neighborhood of Riverbend.
Every time I went, I predictably got a falafel. I am not a vegetarian, but there is something about looking at a big cylinder of meat baking vertically, and getting carved off a slab that personally gives me the whillies, so I have declined for years.
Until this week.
My mom is visiting from out of town, so there has been a lot of people coming around for visits, food and a few drinks. On one particular sunny evening after work, it was pretty hot out, so nobody felt like cooking, and nobody who was over wanted the same thing, so I ended up making a few quick stops to accommodate random food requests, and a Chicken Wrap was on the request list by one of my friends at Pita Grill.
My first positive comment has to be the smell… The chicken was carved, and then thrown on the grill, and then transferred onto the wrap a few short feet away from me. Wow… the waft was delicious. A big delicious squirt of garlic sauce was applied, and it was bundled up and handed to me.
Next notable comment, was that I was asked to pick up a «medium wrap». This wrap should have been called a jumbo wrap. I can only imagine what the large and jumbo wrap would look like! It was almost the size of a newborn. I kind of held it like a newborn too (only because I was juggling my purse, and other random take out items from the area).
I quickly lost interest in my dinner, and I was swarming around that chicken wrap like a buzzard. I managed to fandangle myself a bite and I instantly was struck with plate envy. The meat was tender, juicy, flavorful and the garlic sauce was delightfully offensive for a good hour or two.
I am now a lover of donairs/​schwarmas. Good bye, Pita Grill Falafels. Helloooooo Pita Grill, Chicken Schwarmas.
