Discover the royal flavors of Egypt with our Pharaoh's Style Shawarma at Flame and Bite. This authentic Egyptian-style beef shawarma features tender, slow-roasted beef marinated in traditional Egyptian spices, wrapped with crispy golden fries, creamy tahini sauce, and tangy pickles in warm pita bread. This halal-certified wrap brings the ancient flavors of the Mediterranean to Calgary's Bowness community with a bold, authentic Egyptian twist.
Our Pharaoh's Style Shawarma is a tribute to authentic Egyptian street food, prepared with traditional techniques and premium halal-certified beef. We marinate our beef in a special Egyptian spice blend that includes cumin, coriander, cardamom, and aromatic Middle Eastern herbs. The marinated beef is then slow-roasted on a vertical rotisserie, allowing the exterior to develop a beautiful caramelized crust while the interior stays incredibly tender and juicy.
What sets our Pharaoh's Style Shawarma apart is the use of authentic tahini sauce - a creamy, nutty sesame-based sauce that's a staple in Egyptian cuisine. We wrap the tender shawarma beef with crispy golden French fries, drizzle it generously with our house-made tahini sauce, add tangy pickles for brightness, and wrap it all in warm, fluffy pita bread. Each bite is a perfect balance of rich, savory beef, creamy tahini, and crispy fries - a true taste of Egypt in Calgary.
At Flame and Bite, we believe in honoring authentic recipes while using the highest quality ingredients. Our Pharaoh's Style Shawarma uses traditional Egyptian spice ratios and cooking methods that have been perfected over centuries. The tahini sauce is made fresh daily from pure sesame paste, and our beef is always halal-certified and never frozen. Whether you're Egyptian and craving a taste of home, or new to Egyptian cuisine and looking for an adventure, our Pharaoh's Style Shawarma delivers an authentic Mediterranean fusion experience you won't forget.
