Awesome every time we go there. Chef Rue treats you like family and always has a smile on his face. I recommend Pita Basket to everyone and they all liked it.
Great Donairs and Shawarma! Always friendly, good service. I’ve been there frequently since moving to Airdrie and this is my go to donair place.
On Friday I receive my final refugee cheque from Canada government. This bring me sadness to me and my house, but with humility comes respect from the community. I now have good job and can support my family properly without the assistance of the great queen elizabeth. Although I appreciate and use my monies very carefully, I decide that I am to treat myself with a lunch meal from an restaurant as I usually am bringing lunch from home that my wife prepare. I announce to my wife to not preparing me my normal meal of a piece of boiled chicken (cook somali way, smothered in fermented coconut gravy)At work I inquire to my work associate as to where I should enjoy my meal. I have notice a strong aroma of garlic emitting from this man much times in the past. I am enjoy garlic very much. I ask him where he collected this amaze stench. This takes him with offense, he is not know that his meals reek of powerful garlics. This offend him greatly, but inform me that he usually gets lunch at pita basket. This is perfect because this is right beside my working place (Jiffy lube) and I can obtain one lunch very easily. I go tell my boss that I am going to lunch store and I take my break outside. This lights his face up with pleasure, he expresses his fondness of my idea because my food apparently smell very bad he tell me.This fills me with the rage of the baboon, a thousand fold because this is not the first time he display hatred of my culture. I must endure because he pay me well for my employment. One day revenge from the karma gods will be put on him. I finish dumping the last of the used oil in the toilet and I was off to lunch.I enter the store and am immediately assaulted with the odours of the mediterranean. An onslaught of garlic immediate ravage my nostrils. My senses become slightly heightened, as if I was under attack. My heart beats with the pace of the cheetah as I collect my wits. I take the decor within my eyes. White table and dark coloured walls. Very nice as this remind me of the interrogation room I placed in when I first coming to Canada. The long food area is lined with a glass shield of sorts. This does not shield me in any sense from the pungent food. I am immediate reminded of my home village and my mother. Once very seldom she prepare garlic mash for our meats. This consist of garlic, boiled and then reduced to a fine garlic concentrate, and then combined with fresh garlic slices. Only the purest men could handle such a powerful item. My mother prepare the best garlic mash and this remind me of her. I wipe a small tear from my eye and then proceed to the cash exchange machine to complete my order.I present the service woman with my order, one offering of chicken shwarma vip platter. The friendly man preparing the food then asks me for my topping cravings, which I tell him. He then asks if I would care for garlic sauce and sweet sauce. I agree to both and he then proceeds to ravage my bread with a rain of sauce that can only be described as reckless. This pleases me very much as I enjoy strong flavours much. He is not shy to prepare his food in a bold manner. I can now see that he must be a very well respected man in the donair community. The toppings are placed and the meat is inserted. He then prepares my salad and french fries, a healthy portion of fries are added and then enough hummus to feed a wild hyena was added to the tray as well. I become excite of the value of this food. He then adds a dust of paprika and a slathering of oil to the hummus and asks me how many garlic sauces I would like. This takes me back in confuse, since he dispensed a prince’s ransom worth of garlic already upon my sandwich. I ask for only one additional portion, so not to sound ungrateful for the offering.I am seated and decide to enjoy my side dishes first. The salad was powerfully dressed and had many dried bread shards on top of it. Not a topping I was use to enjoy, but I do end up like. The potatoes were boiled in hot oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Very tasty alone or with hummus. The hummus is very fresh and has a hint of garlics and paprika, which pleases me. The slices of pink vegetables confuse me very much, I do not enjoy. They taste powerfully of preservation techniques, and I am not used to tasting such things.I release the covering on my donair and am immediate assaulted again by the pungent odours. I cannot believe the strength of this dish. I enjoy a few bites and am taken off guard by the flavour that his man has harnessed within this sandwich. The power of garlic is very impress on me. After a few more bites I decide to sample the additional garlic sauce supplied. I open the small container and am renewed with a fresh onslaught of sense. I add a small portion to my donair and sample. I immediate become slightly light headed and am in a slight daze. The feeling passes as the second wave of garlic from the sauce attacks my tongue. If my mother could taste this dish she would not believe it possible. Her garlic paste was legendary for miles around. I am overcome with emotion and flavours as I finish my meal. I enjoy very much, and I have now harnessed an impressive odour myself. I take a small amount home with me for later as I cannot finish the food offered to me. I express my thanks to the man that prepare my food as I leave, and he is very polite. He does not wield his skill with arrogance. I can tell he is a very honoured man.Thank you for the impress flavours, I will return one day, and I shall tell tales to my friends of the garlic palace that is your restaurant. God bless you and your pitas.
This location pays omage to its parent franchise in Calgary. I love their donairs; full sized with all of the toppings one would expect from a Mediterranean market. Very very tasty. I have to give props to their creativity with their donair take on poutine. Free baklava samples always win me over, too. Have come here several times… always impressed.
This place is great! Very good food. And it’s to bad that zee shan had a bad experience. People make mistakes. We have all done worse then not washing after sweeping the floor.9 I say big deal. The service and food are amazing and it’s a clean place. Me and my @wife will absolutely continue eating here. You can always ask people to wash there hands before they make your food lol. Sounds smarter to me. Cheers guys. Keep up the good work. I’m getting Hungary again talking about it:)
Don’t go to this place. Unsanitary conditions. Inspectors please take a note. They don’t use glove or wash their hands between cleaning garbage and serving/preparing food. Would never go there. I refused the order when the server was preparing my food without washing his hands after sweeping the floor. Moreover he became aggressive once I asked him why he didn’t wash his hands or use gloves.
Incredible customer service. I went in about a week ago, perhaps a little longer than that but I digress. My friend has a severe tomato allergy. When ordering and presented with the info, the owner not only got new utensils right away, he opened up onions and lettuce that hadn’t been used yet. He brought them straight from the back. Impeccable service without any questions or hesitations. Damn good donair to boot!
