What Customers Say

"Canmore Shawarma is a hidden gem worth discovering. Their shawarma is undeniably delicious—juicy, flavourful, and complemented by a standout garlic sauce. The “lamprais” truly stole the show for me. This is an authentic Sri Lankan dish and is a rare find in the area and offers a rich tapestry of flavours. Requires advance ordering, but absolutely worth planning for. The staff at Canmore Shawarma are warm and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this spot offers a delightful culinary adventure worth exploring."

"YUM YUM YUM YUM YUMMMMMM the perfect warm way to end a day in the mountains. everything was so yummy and freshly made, I nearly wept. they also had a prayer mat for me to use to pray! and the meat is halal! and free parking! WOWIE!"

Neela Gulabi

"Canmore Shawarma is a hidden gem offering generous portions, authentic flavors, and excellent service. We ordered two biryani plates and two lamb samosas, both of which were outstanding. The biryani was served with a full chicken piece, egg, and raita, and was not overly spicy – making it enjoyable for a wide range of tastes. The samosas were crisp, flavorful, and satisfying. Despite being a busy spot, the service remained fast and efficient, with wait times averaging around 15 minutes. The owner is welcoming, attentive, and ensures every customer leaves satisfied. An added bonus is their selection of Ceylon snacks, which adds a unique cultural touch, especially appreciated by Sri Lankan visitors. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food and warm service in Canmore."

Your Average Consumer

"Canmore Shawarma was an okay spot, but it didn’t quite meet expectations. Google said they close at 8pm, but they were actually open until 9pm. That said, dine-in service stopped around 8:15, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere and made the timing a bit confusing. The staff were friendly, which was a plus. However, the beef shawarma was disappointing—it didn’t taste or feel like real shawarma at all. The texture was more like sliced kebab meat or something similar, not the shaved shawarma meat you’d typically expect. It’s not a bad place, considering halal options in the area are very limited."
