We ordered the seekh kabob, Karahi Chicken with tandoori roti and naan, raita, and Chicken biryani. And wow, everything was delicious, just out of the world type of delicious!! After the dinner, we requested chai and kheer, and no surprise again, full of taste, every bite and sip reminded us of home (Pakistan), what impressed me most was that thr chai was served properly hot where its fully enjoyable! Loved everything, great experience! Also, there was just one person serving that night. All the tables were taken downstairs and a few upstairs as well. She was so organized and efficient, and she really made our visit just that much special! We really hope the restaurant fully recognizes and appreciates her excellent service. Enjoy Faisal Kabob Hut!

We came for lunch with our family, including three young children. Before ordering, I specifically…read moretold the server that the food for the children must not be spicy. The staff could also clearly see that we had small children with us. We ordered three platters. Two of the platters were combined together, and the quantity did not appear equivalent to two full separate platters. More importantly, all of the chicken came spicy despite my clear request. As a result, the children could not eat their meal. My seven-year-old was extremely hungry and tried eating some chicken while repeatedly drinking water because of how spicy it was. The younger children could essentially only eat some rice, which was also very dry. We then ordered an additional plate and gave the restaurant another opportunity, but that chicken was also spicy, so we returned it. What made the experience much worse was the response when I complained. Instead of apologizing or trying to resolve the problem, the staff became argumentative and defensive. I was told, "This is Pakistani cuisine; our food is spicy." I was then told that I could have ordered fries. When I explained that their own server had told us fries were unavailable, I was actually told that I should have taken my children to McDonald's. That response to a customer who had specifically requested non-spicy food for small children was completely inappropriate. I asked to speak with the owner or person responsible and was refused. They removed only the additional returned plate but still insisted that I pay for the children's platter even though it had not been prepared according to the request they accepted and the children could not eat it. We came to a restaurant expecting to feed our family. Instead, I left having to find somewhere else to feed my children, while still being required to pay for the meal. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant. What determines the quality of a business is how it handles the mistake. Unfortunately, instead of an apology and reasonable solution, we received arguing, blame and disrespect. There will not be a next visit.

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...!

An easy 3.5 stars…read more Outgoing Ghulam the owner was gracious to me: without asking he likely recognized a first-time customer and offered the $9 beef donair for only $7. Great but simple marketing, he likely values what return business represents. But I was forewarned that it was good by an enthusiastic filipino months ago, and so finally checking it out confirmed at least two things: 1. The aftertaste of the nicely-spiced donair wrap is what it should be (in comparison to most, 4 stars). 2. My wife and I returned for a chicken breast kabob, chicken shawarma, and beef donair, all stomach-filling platters with Afghan flatbread, decent quality rice, homemade garlic and other sauces: although good, just not at all outstanding (3 stars). It's tough to survive in an area studded with so many different types of restaurants, but Ghulam has location going for him, and except for ViaCibo's pasta, The Rock's burgers, Watercress' pho, and Long's Szechuan Chinese, he's better than the rest. When a tasty wrap next strikes my fancy for a fast lunch, I sometimes will return here, especially when in contrast to the higher-priced lousy fare at Shawarma Knight down 14th Street. Go check it out, folks.

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.

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.
