Recently, some members of the Platform Project and I made it our business to try out dining options in Calgary. It was an excuse to eat a lot of good food together and call it work. After trying many different fantastic restaurants, we picked our 10 most popular halal locations in Calgary, Canada:
1. Jerusalem Shawarma
One of the many things we loved about Jerusalem was the friendly and helpful staff who created a wonderful and welcoming atmosphere. In addition to the great service, the food was incredible, from fresh salads to tender meat. Whatever you order, it will be full of taste.
