I have been to this restaurant lots of times. It is definitely the best Shawarma restaurant in town. They make great tasty Shawarma wraps and platters. They also have very delicious beef rib eye and Kabab. Also employees here are very professional and respectful. I highly recommend Zaitoona shawarma.
Really friendly staff, great clean and nice interior, and above all the food was great The chicken was flavorful and juicy and my BF said his beef was good. I highly recommend!
Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices. Had the chicken shawarma plate and the shish tavouk. The rice, hummus with olive oil, potatoes with garlic sauce and chicken in the chicken shawarma were all delicious. The chicken in the shish tavouk was delicious as was the Greek salad. Portion sizes were great. We'll be going back.
The staff at Jaffa are just exceptional. We received the wrong order and they went above and beyond to correct that. The food here is great too. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good Middle Eastern food in NW Calgary
Amazing food! No one in the city has what they offer. The shawarma in a baguette is very unique as is their special Jaffa sauce. I really hope they open many more locations!
5 stars for the meat! 4.7 overall. Cubed beef was well grilled and tender, shawarma chicken had great spice (stood out more than the shishtawouk), the ground beef (kafta?) enjoyably seasoned.
The falafel were among my wife's favorite, crispy and soft, and the red cabbage salad was very flavorful - more so than some may be looking for.
Rice was decent but could maybe be more moist, or even oiled to match my taste.
The platter doesn't come with any add-ons besides what's spelled out on the menu, but I was able to get some pickled vegetables - a must in my book.
They have some interesting sauce options. The house sauce is almost like a chipotle aioli - an interesting falafel dip, or maybe on the potatoes, but could overpower the meats if used there. The mango sauce is vinegary and worked wellmixed in the regular slaw; I'm not sure what else it would go with. The tahini (which you'd have to know to ask for), I prefer a bit thicker. Garlic sauce was fine.
The staff were friendly, inviting, accommodating, and well-informed.
Baladi and Mazaj might edge them out on my go-to sauce blend (heavy on the tahini), but I will be back for the meat! Didn't even try the donair-type beef yet.
I have tried thier food on Saturday and it was authentic and delicious, although the restaurant was so busy but I got such an amazing service, thanks you guys and for sure I will come back more, more, and more.
Our new fav shawarma/bbq place in Calg. Their triple meat bbq platter with that spicy tomato salad? Abbbbsolute perfection. Clean and kind family run bussiness.
My first visit today and I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. The beef shawarma meal was very generous and the flavors were delicious. A great restaurant, good value, generous portions, and very tasty food! Will definitely be back. Thank you!
Food was Amazing! The place was clean, the Owners were very generous & we loved thier hospitality. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to Everyone
We went to Jaffa today based on the recommendation of a friend, and the food was absolutely amazing, everything was delicious and beyond. Atmosphere and hospitality by owner and staff were excellent thank you Jaffa defiantly coming back.
My oh my, this place is newly opened around my neighborhood. It’s already our fourth time ordering from this place. Really good shawarma grill! Meats were not dry. Many salad selections. Wraps were great! Everything is good! Even the rice has style hahahah. Hope I’m not too over exaggerating. We tried mixed shawarma, chicken shawarma, Arabic shawarma, and rib eye shawarma. SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. If u swing by Evanston, don’t forget to try this place. Two huge skewers of rib eye shawarma platter was only $18. The boss was very nice. I asked him what he recommend. He’s extremely excited to encourage us to try new things. And what he suggested didn’t disappoint so far. He had passion. And good passion makes good food.
This place is a hidden gem, and the food is delicious. On top of that the people are great and they even remember your name, maybe that’s cause I eat it twice a week. I would highly recommend everyone eat here!
Delicious food, exceptional service and friendly staff. Great location with plenty of parking. I can't wait to come back as we loved everything we ordered.
