Our Chicken Shawarma Sandwich is a flavour-packed wrap loaded with tender, spice-marinated chicken shawarma, fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, crunchy onions, tangy pickles, smooth hummus, and our signature garlic sauce, sweet sauce, hot sauce, and tahini. It’s the perfect grab-and-go lunch in northwest Calgary.
The Chicken Shawarma Sandwich at Empire Shawarma is built for maximum flavour in every bite. We start with our slow-roasted chicken shawarma, shaved fresh from the spit and packed into a warm, soft wrap. Then we layer in crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, diced onions, and crunchy pickles for freshness and texture.
What truly sets our sandwich apart are the sauces. Every wrap gets a generous spread of house-made hummus, our creamy garlic sauce, sweet sauce, a drizzle of tahini, and a touch of hot sauce for those who like a kick. It’s a favourite among SAIT students and University of Calgary crowds looking for a quick, satisfying halal lunch.

"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."
