Our Story

Shawarma Barlow logo

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.

What Makes Us Different?

  • 100% Halal Certified - All our meat is halal certified. Every time, no exceptions.

  • Something for Everyone - From hearty shawarma wraps and beef donair poutine to fully vegan and gluten-free falafel platters, our menu has something for every craving and diet.

  • Made Fresh, Every Order - We prepare everything from scratch our bread, our 24 hour marinated chicken, our sauces, even our falafel is made from scratch using Canadian chickpeas and cooked fresh for every order. Our hummus is house-made, vegan, and free of preservatives.

  • Quality Ingredients - We source the finest ingredients and prepare each dish with care and expertise, the same way it's done back home in Jordan.
