Our house-made Falafel Platter is a fan favourite for vegetarians and falafel lovers alike. Each piece is freshly prepared with chickpeas, herbs, and spices, fried until golden and crispy outside, soft and flavourful inside. Served with rice pilaf, potato wedges, salad, hummus, and our signature sauces.
At Empire Shawarma, our falafel is made from scratch every day using traditional recipes passed down through generations. We blend chickpeas with fresh herbs including parsley, cilantro, and onion, seasoned with cumin and coriander, then deep-fry each piece to golden perfection. The result is a crispy exterior that gives way to a moist, herb-packed interior.
The platter is generously portioned with aromatic rice pilaf, crispy potato wedges, a fresh garden salad, and smooth hummus. Drizzled with tahini, garlic sauce, sweet sauce, and hot sauce, it’s a complete vegetarian meal that satisfies every craving. Whether you live near Banff Trail or Varsity, this platter is worth the trip.

"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."
