Hey all, going to be staying in Calgary for this week (Monday - Saturday) and hoped to get some restaurant recommendations from the locals! I really enjoy middle-eastern and Asian cuisine, but I'm open to anything, as is my wife. We're going to be downtown in a friend's house if that matters.

Thank you!

Edit: just arrived in Calgary, pretty tired but thank you all for the recommendations, I'll make sure to try plenty while I'm here!

I'll tell you where NOT to go: Jerusalem Shwarma. They've been hit with multiple AHS violations across multiple restaurant locations. Not all locations have been closed down at one point or another, but enough have that it makes me doubt the entire franchise

Jimmy’s A&A is the beast for Shwarma/Donair. He's been in business since I was a baby

Good to know. I was eyeing shawarma and Jerusalem was one of the most "popular" ones on Google reviews... Will stay far away after reading what has happened with them
