Was Anonym at Soby's Eatery a mag?
A group of us had lunch at this bright, clean and cheerful restaurant. The owner gave us his full attention. The food was simple, fresh and everything tasted great. There is not a lot of ambiance but it is very clean, bright and comfortable. I would recommend it; especially for lunch and will go there again, myself. View all feedback.

It has a cozy and homey atmosphere, especially when it gets busy. You can see people playing games, drinking chai, smoking shisha, and hanging out. The couple who run this restaurant are mostly sweet, although the man can be grouchy and impatient on occasion. This has only happened 2 out of the 5 times I have been there. The hummus is really tasty, but the yogurt dip leaves something to be desired as it is quite plain. Despite this, I would still recommend this place because it offers reasonable prices for its location on 17th Ave. I enjoy it as much as Deagla on 17th Ave SE and 51 St.
This Lebanese restaurant is excellent and is one of the top 3 Middle Eastern eateries in the city. The food is always fresh and delicious, the place is always clean, and the staff (who are also the owners) are excellent. If you are in the mood for lunch, the shish and shwarma are must-tries - they are not the typical greasy Donair found at other places, but instead, they are crisp and fresh. The other items on the menu are also excellent. I highly recommend trying their tabooli salad, which is unique as it contains almost no grain and is one of the best I have ever had. If you find yourself in the uptown 17th area, this restaurant is a must-visit.
This shawarma is different from what you typically find in town. While Cedars Deli also makes a good chicken shawarma, Soby's version has a superior taste with fewer ingredients and a reasonable price. During my most recent visit, my sister and I ordered two chicken shawarmas, 4 warm vine leaves (which was a nice surprise), and an order of Baba Ganoush with pita, all for just $30. We left feeling full and satisfied. The Baba Ganoush at Soby's is fantastic and definitely worth a try. It alone is enough reason to make a return visit. If you're looking for a simple and affordable option for a delicious sandwich, I highly recommend Soby's. While I may be a bit nostalgic, I truly believe that their shawarma stands out as a unique and flavorful choice compared to other similar restaurants. Overall, a yummy experience at Soby's!
Great food. One of the best (if not the best) middle eastern food places i've been to in Calgary
This is the cleanest restaurant I ever have been to. I love the chicken wrap.

7 colleagues and I had lunch for the first time at this restaurant._As the Owner went around the table taking our orders, trying to up seek us on the items
I was introduced to Soby's through a friend's wife - 20 years agoIt's still my favourite place to stop for their 'Shish tawouk' sandwich.
I know a good shawarma when I eat it. And these guys make one of the best. They also make the best Shish Taouk I have ever had. It is so flavourful. And you must try their baklava. I've been eating there for good 15 years. And the owners are very nice friendly people.
Great family run spotI eat their Donair (w sweet sauce) and their Fatoush salad all the timeThe salad is fresh and tastes amazing.
