The service takes some time, it definitely isn't fast food. We ordered quite a bit of food; gyro, lamb, beef, as you can see in the photo.

The ground beef skewer was spicy and very tasty. The chicken was not as flavourful but still good. Hubby had the chaplee which was spicy ground beef patties. They were huge. We ended up taking the rice home and it was enough for 2 people. There's not much seating in this place and parking is slim. This is a solid place to go if you're hungry on a late night out but don't expect service. You order at the counter, pay then they call you to get your food. Overall, we knew what to expect thanks to fellow Yelpers!

Hers, veggie and sweet (coconut milk). They were both positively decadent. The sauces were rich and smooth, without a hint of the oil breaking. Lamb was tender and succulent, her veggies were a step past al dente, which is fine. Sides - 4/5 We were surprised to see options of rice or naan to attend the dish, so yea each opted for one. The rice was well cooked, sprinkled with saffron and some roasted caraway seeds. The naan was fine, though probably had some excess oils on it making it a notable greasier experience that I think I am used to. Still, delicious way to finish up the sauce. This is a great place we feel luck to have found on a trip and we surely would love to find work in Calgary if only to frequent this place for lunch and their great combos. I don't know if I'd travel the whole 1200 miles just to eat here again, but I would consider it.

I have been eating regularly at Mirchi since they opened many years ago when they bought Lahore…read moreTikka. They have two locations, one on 12th Ave SW and the other in Westwinds. Although Westwinds is more upscale, I prefer the food of Chef Ali on 12th. I was stationed in Pakistan in the late seventies and early eighties and the food is reminiscent of some of the great places I ate in Lahore, Karachi, and Peshawar. Ali is Pathan from the NW Frontier and will custom prepare Pathan dishes if you ask. On 12th, the food is more like Queen's Road kebab stands from Lahore and Westwinds is more like Kababeesh, minus dining on a lawn groomed like a golf green. My favourites are the dry Pathan karahi gosht, special order Jalfrezi, and the seekh kebab. If you are expecting true Pakistani tikka, forget it. No Indo/Pakistani restaurant in Canada does it. They also make an excellent mirch, daal, and aloo gobi.

I immediately called this guy, Samieh, and he told me that this is what it is. This is the shitiest place I have ever visited in Calgary, avoid it at all costs.

The tandoori chicken was very very dry and seemed like it was cooked the day before and reheated for us. The rice was also not very fresh, again seemed as though it was cooked the day before.

When we moved to Calgary from Brampton last year, the biggest challenge we faced was finding…read moredelicious food, specifically Indian/Pakistani food. We tried few places and few of them were good, however not that great that you wanna visit them again. Some had good food but bad service. Some had good ambiance, but food and service not up to the mark. One day I was craving mutton and started searching online and found this place which had mixed reviews about service however excellent reviews about food. So decided to get take out from Faisal Kabob Hut. I ordered mutton karahi and garlic naan. Oh boy that hit the spot. It's flavourful, good quantity and prices lower than other restaurants. Plus they give complimentary small salad with every meal. I got hooked. I almost get take out from them 2-3 times a month, specially when I am craving mutton. Flavours are always spot on. Over the last few months I have tried almost everything on their menu. They don't have many veg options, mostly meat based menu but still enough veg options for our vegetarian friends. I am also fan of their ginger chicken, garlic naan, mixed kabob platter and chicken tikkas. There biryani's are okay. Overall amazing food all the time. They do have few seats to sit and eat, however I always do take out. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Came home exhausted, tired and hungry for some warm delicious comfort food. After a quick search for restaurants near home, we decided to order from the KING of Shawarma. Reviews seemed decent. 5 stars on FB and 4 stars on YELP. Figured, why not I'm new to Calgary and need to find some good shawarma and Mediterranean food. I order through Skip the Dishes. Food came fast. Took about 45 minutes. I specially requested for all sauces and dips to be on the side, since I've worked in the restaurant industry before I understand that food doesn't always travel well and in order to avoid soggy messy food made my request and even apologize for the inconvenience in advance. Food comes. I look at it and instantly become irritated. Everything is mixed together. And all the exact same shade of grey and brown. The skin was falling off the potatoes (and not in a good tasty way) the chicken was dry and flavourless. I can honestly say that neither mine or my roommates food was touched. Literally made me sick to my stomach looking at it. Whatever, ok things happen. I get it. I called the restaurant to complain about my order and to request either a refund or a new meal. I asked to speak to a manger, the person on the other line said he was and that he remembered packing my food. I told him it wasn't what I ordered, and that I wasn't happy. He was rude, arrogant and refused to take responsibility for the situation. He tried to blame skip the dishes for his poor work ethic. After about 3 minutes of talking to his fine outstanding young man it comes to my attention that he is in fact NOT a manger and that none are there to talk to me or deal with the situation. After all that talking, this person can't do a thing to help me. I tell him to talk to his manager and to call ME back. He agrees. Fast forward 30 minutes still no call. Nothing. So I call back. First call phone rings about 15 times then disconnects. Second call straight to voicemail. Third call he answers. Tells me the manger isn't there. I tell him I'll be by tomorrow to return this food. He shrugs off my concerns and lets me go. Well today, as much as I wanted to bring the food back and collect a refund, life got in the way and I needed to work. Still have yet to hear from a manager. I didn't even receive an apology or nothing. Wound up making freezer pizza for dinner, after only wanting shawarma from the king.
