A little about this place
About Shawarma Cairo and Pizza Calgary
Shawarma Cairo & Pizza is a small, family-run Egyptian shop at 717 Edmonton Trail NE, with a few seats and a steady takeout trade. Shawarma, donair, falafel and pizza are on the board, but the draw is home-style Egyptian cooking: koshary with crispy fried onions, tomato sauce and garlic vinegar, hawawshi baked in pita, mumbar, mahshi, cabbage rolls, feteer, shish tawook, rice pudding and baklava. Dishes are made to order, and the owners take time to walk first-timers through the menu.
