Our Story
The Best Shawarma, Donair & Falafel in Calgary!
At Shawarma Barlow, we proudly blend the culinary traditions of our Jordanian heritage with the vibrant spirit of Canada. Originally hailing from Jordan, we brought our passion for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine to the heart of Calgary and we haven't looked back since.
Our restaurant is a fusion of flavors and cultures, where the savory taste of shawarma, the crispy texture of fresh falafel, and the creamy richness of house-made hummus come together to create unforgettable dining experiences. Whether you're a longtime regular or visiting for the first time, we welcome you to join us on a culinary journey that celebrates the best of both worlds.
