Shelby’s Shawarma Brings Authentic Middle Eastern Flavor to Calgary

Calgarians and digital nomads alike will soon have the opportunity to indulge in authentic shawarma from Shelby’s Shawarma, a popular Canadian chain making its debut in Western Canada. The chain, which began as a food trailer in Lambeth, Ontario, in 2015, is set to open its first Western Canadian location in Calgary on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 9110 Macleod Trl. SE.

The grand opening will feature a free Boutine for the first 100 customers, along with 50% off on wraps, bowls, and signature menu items from 12 to 9 p.m. The event will also include face painting, live caricature artists, games, and prizes. These festivities are free and will run from noon to 9 p.m., making it a must-visit for food enthusiasts and curious diners alike.

Shelby’s Shawarma joins a growing list of restaurant chains expanding into Calgary, including Shake Shack, Dave’s Hot Chicken, and Wingstop.
