While this would be a fairly average schawarma/Donair place if it were located in Europe, Calgary is not Europe. This may be the best Schawarma/Donair/Gyros I've ever had outside of Europe or Israel. My Beef Donair was expertly seasoned, well roasted, and super-delicious. I'd probably eat one of these a week if I worked anywhere around here.
I also like how they put a little bit of hummus on your pita sandwich. I just wish this place was open during the late night hours - but I guess that downtown Calgary isn't exactly a late night hotspot.
Falafel was also delicious. -

I decided to have lunch here all because of Ritual. They were doing a $5 off here if you order on Ritual. So I ended up getting the Chicken Shawarma wrap. I am not sure if pickle is a big thing for them but my shawarma had a lot of pickles (picked pickles, picked onions and etc.). It was super vinegary. Definitely not wow. I guess if I was in the restaurant and had them make my sharwarma wrap while I was there, I would not have gotten so much pickles.
It was super busy during lunch time when I came. Food is inexpensive at the Chick Pea. Food here are made upon order. Chickpea is located super far away from many of the downtown offices. It is located around 7th ave and 8th street. It is very very far for me from where I work/my office building. To get here you could take the plus 15 most of the way. But that would just make it a longer trip to get here.
The decor here looks like a Shawarma place. What I mean is not the fancy look but what you would expect at a shawarma place. Where you just order and go or devourer the food super fast kind of place. -

Caught an early lunch here. Pretty neat place and guys at the counter are helpful n patient with questions.
Got myself a Falafel Salad which for the money being charged felt a bit small in quantity to be honest. Servings of hummus was very small too. But the taste was good. I'm pretty spoilt for Mediterranean food and unfortunately I wasn't overly impressed hence the three stars rating.
I may return to try the shawarma which may change my opinion. Hopefully! -

Wow ! What a fantastic little gem.
Was downtown shopping and decided to try this place out.
Hands down best souvlaki I've ever had! (And I've had many).
Will be back .
Trust me . YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE. -

Tried this place as per a colleague who works in a nearby offices be tower. Service was good and it was a busy place but I didn't really enjoy the food. It tasted fine but there was nothing memorable. I had a chicken sandwich and I was full but I would not choose to go again on my own. I think it's popular due to the convenience of the location. I can't thing of any other redeeming qualities.
