The second I walked into the building I got a huge welcome and felt like I was home both employees were more than just kind it felt like they were a part of my family chef, I give my thanks to chef dalia and chef Mohamed
Absolutely fabulous chicken shawarma I spent a month last year in Berlin, Germany eating some of the most fabulous Middle Eastern street food you can possibly think of and Chef Mohammed is head and shoulders up there with the best in the world, way to go chef
Watching Chef Mohammad prepare food for multiple people at once was like watching an artist at work. Exceptional service, amazing food and great company. I would highly recommend! Fannan ;)
Mint is a wonderful choice for some fresh food! We really enjoyed everything: the salads, sides, and meats were great! And the chef is a delight, offering very friendly service. You can't go wrong here!
Honestly the best shawarma place in Calgary! Tried mint Mediterranean randomly one day and fell in love. Portions are amazing, and cost is reasonable and much much better than other places. This is my go-to shawarma place from now on and staff is friendly as well. Recommend checking this location out 1000%
I went here on my lunch break last week, after a friend had recommended it to me. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted by the Chef himself and asked if it was my first time there! Since it was, he offered me a sample of falafel (such a sweet touch!), and helped me decide what to order. The falafel was delicious Crispy, warm, and the perfect density.and my order was chicken wrap.it was The best shawarma i ever had in Calgary.seasoned perfectly, bread was fluffy and light, the veggies had just the right amount of crunch, and the sauce was BOSS. These folks are doing it right! I really enjoyed my first meal here and am excited to make this a regular stop:)
We arrived and the place had just closed. The chef came to the door and apologized they had just closed for the day. We were about to leave and he asked us to wait for a second. He came back with a box of Baklava and gave it away to us as he didn’t want us to leave without trying something. What a great gesture! Food is also about love and love is what we got! Thanks, chef Mohammad!:)
The flavours are excellent and food was well prepared. We have eaten here many times over the years and enjoyed it. It seems as though they are cutting corners with the value of the meals, portion sizes have shrunken. Service is getting sloppy. I would have rated higher but I enjoy consistency in service and value.
This place is the best. There’s no better shawarma in Calgary. I come here all the time and have been a customer for long time and the chef is amazing. Chicken was recently changed and it is amazing!
The best Shawarma place in Calgary. Hospitable people and delicious food. Thank you Lamis for hosting us today. It was really a very pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend to everyone, and especially those who like authentic shawarma.
Chef Mohammed at Pita Basket Crowfoot makes super tamum beef donairs.my favourite, especially with a little hot sauce added. I highly recomend Pita Basket Crowfoot for a superior donair! (as well as his other offerings!)
Great customer service every time I come in, I see chief Muhammad the most. Food is amazing and portion is good. Highly recommended if you are around the area and are looking for a quick bite to pick up or to dine in
Went to pita basket for the first time last week, the food was great! Got a chicken platter and a couple of beef platters for the rest of the fam. Chef Mohammed was very welcoming and personable, his energy is contagious! Left with a smile and tasty food, what more can you ask for?
First times a Charm? The missus and I, along with our son dropped in for a late lunch on Sunday. I've had Lebanese food before so I thought i knew what to expect but I was not prepared for how tasty and tender and dripping with goodness the Shawarmas were. The beef had hints of what I think was cardamon and some other spices and the wrap was grilled to perfection. The rest of the team had the chicken and were very impressed. We all tried a traditional non alcoholic wheat beer? And being as it was our first visit the proprietor threw in 3 free dessert pastries. We will be back.
Had a shawarma a couple of days ago. Best in and around crowfoot area. Also, offered a sweet for free. My go to place for shawarmas for sure when I'm in the area. Quick service as well.
Amazing service with a welcoming atmosphere. The falafel were delicious and he gave us a refreshing taste of baklava on entry. If I could give more stars I would
I had a pretty tasty donair here, but a few caveats.
The whole place needs a good cleaning; everythings kinda greasy, and theres dust stuck all over the equipment behind the counter, and hanging from the menu TVs and and ceiling.
Some of the ingredients were less than fresh. The lettuce I got was pretty brown and limp.
They served my donair on a cutting board? Restaurants need to stop doing this; things just slide off and its cumbersome. Just give us plates!
Otherwise, I liked the service, fella was a bit quiet, but very polite and quick.
The manager made me a very tasty chicken shawarma wrap, was super friendly and interesting to talk to. I asked about the Za'atar and cheese pies and he sold me 4,2 at a discount. They were very good reheated at home.
Will definitely be back as the food and experience was excellent.
Fabulous food, and great owner! He's always been exceptionally friendly, going the extra mile to make sure you leave happy! It is a bit pricey compared to other shawarma places, yet is worth it!
Great delicious food, gave them an order for 40 people on a very short notice yet they were still able to get everything ready on time! Great customer services, good pricing, good food.
Good food for sure but… when I went in the man behind the counter wasn’t wearing a mask (owner I’m sure) ok bad enough in a pandemic, I was the only person in there at the time, he was friendly but made me feel uncomfortable, just a creepy guy with a creepy vibe if you’re a lone 25 year old female trying to get dinner. Probably won’t go back even though the food is tasty.
Hands down the best Shawarma wrap in the city of Calgary! If you would really like to taste the authentic Shawarma do yourself a favor and go to this place, you won’t regret spending a penny! Customer service is 10/10 friendly and efficient. The restaurant is very clean all around, and the food is fresh and delicious.
I can truly say that the food i had at this place left a GREAT feeling inside of me, unique, flavorful and affordable! I could order from this Crowfoot Pita Basket branch for a week straight and I wouldn’t get bored because it gets better everytime!
Delicious foods and and great service! I think it's one of the best shawarma in Calgary. The manager Mohammad was amazing and went above and beyond my expectations.
I just ordered a cater platter from pita basket and let me tell you something. The food is phenomenal and the service was even BETTER than the food. And that’s hard to do. Mohammed who served me is the manager at the location and he had my order ready fresh! He even grilled the tomatoes for me. Amazing service and food. Highly recommended!
Used to come here often when I went to school right across the street and the service was incredible. Students would often frequent Pita Basket in large groups and the workers there would be kind enough to grace us with FREE SIDES like fries and at times baklava! The service here was second to none, really good people and the food is also great. I had an issue one time with a SkipTheDishes order and it was resolved with no issues. Great guys, I wish them the best for the future.
Great experience! The food is incredible and done with patience and delicacy. The manager Mohamed is so welcoming and lovely. You should try it for sure.
This place was absolutely amazing! I have gluten and dairy allergies and the manager went above and beyond! The food was so authentic and fresh beyond belief! The establishment was clean and very COVID conscious! Definitely will be returning for more and this delicious food!
This place was absolutely delicious! Out of the maybe 10 Mediterranean restaurants I’ve been too, this is the best! I loved their pita wrap. The combination of all the ingredients blend beautifully into any wrap. Will definitely be coming back in the future!
This palace is so amazing. Mohammed is so friendly and really goes to all lengths to make sure that he treats his customers with a lot of attention and the food is so good and really generous portions. My favorite.
Hands down the best shawarma and donair in the Calgary area. Our dining experience was very comfortable, excellent customer service, restaurant was exceptionally clean and the food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone, this restaurant is a must try!
My new favorite shawarma place. Chicken was freshly cooked/cut and well seasoned. Portions were generous and prices were good! Plus very friendly people. I would go back again!
Wow this place is amazing! I got the lamb shawarma and my boyfriend the beef. Both were so well made with lots inside! Mohamed served us and was so friendly. Which definitely made the experience so much better then it already was. I rarely write good reviews but for here I had to. We were going to go to Wendy’s and decided to try this place instead. What a great idea that was! I will come back here again and again.
Love this place. Food is fresh, authentic and so delicious. Portions are huge! Moh is super friendly and goes the extra mile to prepare your food how you like it. We will be back!
Was in at 1507 hrs.today Jul 31) to buy a chicken Swarma ($11.55). Tall gentleman with facial hair preparing food behind counter was eating food with his bare hands and putting it into his mouth as I walked in. He did put on gloves but never washed his hands after taking them out of his mouth and grabbing the gloves with them. It didn't click with me until I was in the parking lot. I was in a rush and there were customers behind me, so I just threw the Swarma out.
I had been loyal customer for years but haven't been in because of the pandemic until today. Never again. They just lost a life long customer. The guy even held the bowl he was eating from over the counter to offer me some after his hands and mouth had been in it.
Came here today for the first time. Mohammed was extremely warm and friendly, service was fast and the food was delicious. Will be back here soon for sure. Highly recommend this place. Highly top of the top
Walked in and was amazed with the professionalism and kindness of Mohammed. Nice guy, even explained shawarma meaning to me in detail. The food was delicious. Best I’ve had in Calgary. Couldn’t have been a better experience. Highly recommend everyone in Calgary!
We had platter and shawarma wrap. Maybe it was one off incident but our experience was nothing like reviews here. They did not ask what veggies do we want in platter or not want and gave everything. Found it over priced as the rice in platter was just 5-6 spoons. No preferences were asked about sauces etc.
Even after specifically saying that we are in for dine in, the lady at the counter said is it okay if I give in to-go container. We had no choice but to agree
For the wrap it was cold and not warm. It was grilled or whatever the process is after wrapping. Served nothing like photos.
Taste of chicken was good but overall service and how little food we got, it ruined the experience.
