About us

Three generations of Palestinian cooking.

A family restaurant, from a village in Palestine to three locations in Calgary.

Our story

Our roots started in Palestine, when my grandfather opened his restaurant in the middle of the last century in a village in Palestine. With his great passion for food and its varieties, he developed unique recipes to keep his customers happy.

My grandfather’s restaurant fed the residents of the village with fresh, home-style food: hummus, falafel, and beef and chicken shawarma. Jerusalem Shawarma & Bakery is the result of his experience in Palestinian cuisine.

By using my grandfather’s recipes, we are able to offer that same exceptional taste to all our customers. Our team is ready to welcome you in with great food and warm hospitality, whether you dine in, take out, or let us cater your event.
