Captain Shawarma Donairs & Falafel: Donair and Shawarma Mixed Platter

Another new donair and shawarma place in the west end is Captain Shawarma at 14831 87 Ave. The menu features Middle Eastern items like beef kebab and kofta in addition to donairs and chicken shawarmas. This is the beef donair and shawarma mixed platter. The mountain of food included chunks of beef donair and chicken shawarma - both flavourful with just enough spice- on top of vegetable rice, with small sides of hummus, garlic potatoes, and fatouche salad. You can choose your salad and sauce. My sweet sauce was served to the side. The salad was covered in crispy pita, and had a tangy balsamic dressing. This is definitely shareable.

I headed to the new food court in Edmonton City Centre this past week, and tried Paramount Lebanese Kitchen for the first time. I was impressed with the selection and the prices, and had a chicken shawarma plate. The chicken was definitely house-made, served with pickles, pickled turnip, and garlic sauce, and my choice of two sides. I opted for hummus and salad, both of which were fresh and delicious. Good portions and good prices - I'll be back!
