Experience Calgary’s favourite comfort food elevated to new heights. Our Beef Donair Platter features seasoned beef donair meat shaved fresh from the spit, served with rice pilaf, crispy potato wedges, garden salad, and hummus — all topped with our signature house-made sauces.
The beef donair is a Calgary staple, and at Empire Shawarma we honour that tradition with our own authentic twist. Our beef donair is made from a blend of premium ground beef seasoned with a proprietary Middle Eastern spice mix, then slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie until perfectly caramelised on the outside and juicy within.
Each platter comes loaded with fluffy rice pilaf, golden potato wedges, a fresh garden salad, and our house-made hummus. We top it all off with garlic sauce, sweet sauce, tahini, and a kick of hot sauce. Locals from Rosemont to Collingwood call it one of the best donair platters in northwest Calgary.

"Had a beef donair there. It was excellent. Their French fries were great as well. I had an Apple flavoured drink that tasted like one — so I had 2."

"It’s actually quite good, though like most shawarma spots, the price point is a little higher than $10. I thought it was quite good."

"Slightly pricey platters at $20, but the portion and taste is there. The shawarma I had was well seasoned, everything fresh, rice pilaf was good, and the sauce is tasty."
