Lamb was excellent. If I had to nick pick the lamb shank was only warm vs hot. Very reasonable prices too. My kebab plate was under $11. Why would anyone eat fast food when you can eat this? De-lish. You should go.

If you like very good-tasting lamb shank with Turkish salads, breads and specials, go the…read moreCrossroads Market and dig in... Although I don't go to that market as much as Calgary Farmer's Market on Blackfoot, a trip for this food is well worth it. Because my thing is their lamb, I've not tried their other meats, but I sense you will not be let down. Invariably the meat is tender and juicy, and their reddish subtle tasting gravy hits the spot for your pita and rice. Their Turkish staff are most accommodating, and seem to know that what they are serving is just wonderful. For a mere $11 you get a big meal. In any restaurant with all the trimmings, it would be $20-40 for the same. And at this price, that you are forced to use paper plates and plastic utensils is no big sacrifice. As well, I think you can do take-out, and at home of course dine in style. As well, they have a large sister restaurant downtown on Stephen Avenue across from city hall and park: likely worth the leizurely walk from 7th Street SW along Stephen to end up famished at Anatolia... Beware... If you get a lamb shank attack, make your way speedily to this market, and slurp up these succulent juices that should bring on a loud yelp...!

The friends platter had a little bit of most things and was also just a beautiful work of art. Loved loved loved the lamb chop and wish there we'd gotten more of that. I usually don't go for chicken but these chicken kebabs were so moist and flavorful. I loved too how fine the donair was shaved. The Ali Nazik was probably my favorite thing because of that garlicky buttery yogurt sauce that I just wanted to bathe all my meats in. The table loved the Lahmahcun so much that we got a second round. Super thin and crispy, and so so good eaten together with the onion, tomatoes, and lemon. And all the pita was so so pillowy soft! Also appreciated so much all the fresh veggies that accompanied everything so that it felt healthier. Great balance. Love love love. Also, not usually a criteria of mine but I really appreciated the interior too and having the little grocery area in the back. Casual, but immersive.

We got hummus topped with shawarma, a babaghanouj, a hummus, garlic paste, Shish tawook plate, and veggies for dipping. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The portions were also hearty. They packed everything nicely as well. The standouts for me were the babaghanouj and garlic paste. The hummus with shawarma was excellent also, especially since it had a generous amount of meat on top. The Greek salad that came with the kabob was also very good. This was our favorite meal during our trip to Canada, despite being a delivery. Definitely check it out if you are seeking great Lebanese cuisine.

I have been to the other Shawarma Palace located in NE and I have always liked their food. Portion…read morehas always been big and price has always been on the cheaper end (given the portion size). I have been to the their Falconridge location. So this time I have decided to try their Montgomery location. They basically have a location in every quadrant in Calgary except SW (Could be one of their goals - Who knows?). I ordered my usual- Chicken Shawarma Platter with everything except no hot sauce and with nothing that is spicy (example jalapeno). The chicken shawarma platter was huge. It basically worked out to be 2 meals. It came with potatoes, chicken, rice, salad, pita bread and hummus. I do find that they are not as generous as the Falconridge location when it comes to the garlic sauce. Darn... The platter with taxes was $14.16. This is considered to be cheap for the portion size. It was super tasty. I do find their platter a better deal than their wraps. The potatoes were a bit over baked and the chicken was a bit dried compared to the Falconridge location. They are also not as busy as the Falconridge location. Overall, good Mediterranean food. Restaurant decor is ok. Not bad. It is definitely cleaner than the Falconridge location. Only issue I have is the area. It is out of the way for me and I usually try to stay away from Montgomery (the other is Forest Lawn).
