Al Salam Bakery & Restaurant

We had the chicken shawarma and wrap and all though a nice portion we did find it to be a bit bland. The cheese ajeen however and fresh pita were delicious. The garlic sauce was also really good. Service was a bit inconsistent and we found the waitress a bit rude and impatient when we were putting in our order. Overall it was ok but for the price there's better.

An excellent restaurant on the Southside of Edmonton. There is a sit down restaurant area, a takeaway counter and a small middle Eastern grocery section. The store is immaculate and the food is excellent. The place is casual and the staff are not as polished as some places but they are very friendly. The chicken shawarma wrap was very good. A good ratio of meat to veggies, a delicious sweet sauce and fresh pita. I've tried chicken shawarma in multiple locations and restaurants throughout Edmonton and I would rank this one in the top 3. The platters were generous in portion and tasted great! Fresh bread accomplices the dips. The falafel is perfect, crop on the outside tender interior. You got to try this gem!

Just enjoyed a great lunch here. Table shared mixed kebab platter, mixed shawarma platter, kibbeh and tabouli. Fresh pita was a standout, portions would feed even an American and the chicken kebab lived up to the hype. Defo worth a return visit.

What a wonderful place, No proper words to fully describe how good the food is here but I’ll do my best. Had the mixed platter, fair price and huge portions. The meat, rice and salad were wonderful. The hummus and garlic dip are to die for. They also gave us fresh pitas out of the oven which paired so nicely with the hummus. I even bought a large container of their hummus home :) The inside atmosphere was so cozy and warm, if I wasn’t in a rush I would have loved to have tea here. Will be back.

Hey, shawarma lovers, I'd recommend trying a different place. I ordered the mixed meat platter, and unfortunately, it was quite bland and lacked the rich flavors you'd expect from a good shawarma meal. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision before visiting this restaurant. I usually don't write negative reviews, but this was just waste of my evening and money.
