I tried a few shawarma/donair places when I was recently back in Calgary. I was very impressed at how shawarma has grown from a few places in the inner city to now occupying strip malls throughout the suburbs to an extent rivaling Vietnamese restaurants.

My favourite place used to be Shawarma Station in Kensignton however it is under new management and it not quite as good anymore. For example you used to be able to get Parmesan cheese on your wrap which was amazing but now they just have some generic white processed cheese. I also tried Jerusalem Shawarma in Acadia and it was excellent. A buddy recommended Shawarma Palace on 17th saying it was the best in the city but I didn't have a chance to make it there.

As far as donairs go I was really impressed with one I had from Fast Lane Pizza in Willow Park. They put banana peppers on it which I thought was a great addition. They also only cost $5 Monday to Wednesday.
