Super generous servings, delicious food, and really friendly and funny people working. I always leave Jimmy's with a smile on my face...and I always end up over-eating because it's just too damn delicious! Make sure you try the baklava it's divine!

I plan Saturday errands to take me by Jimmy's close to lunch. I dare to say there is no better food served outside of a stones throw from the Mediterranean. You can't go wrong with anything served. Hole in the wall atmosphere is great.

Jimmy's is a fine falafel joint. Organized confusion hits you as you see people lined up outside the door. There's a chalked in menu on the wall. And it runs almost wall to wall. No need to read it, though. Just point and it is slathered in your pita. This place has atmosphere galore. It is like a junky store... More

Jimmy's is not far from my kids school and I've driven past it many times. Curiosity got the better of me one day and I stopped in for lunch after dropping my boy at school. Parking was a challenge to say the least but determination prevailed. It was about mid week and there were about a dozen people wandering about... More

This is a great place to visit if you want to try a delicious Chicken Shawarma among other things. The staff are friendly and while it is a busy place, the line up is extremely quick. It is more of a take out, but there are a few tables upstairs if you want to sit there and eat. We usually... More

Was recommended by a few friends to try this place. Excellent food, great price, but nowhere to sit and eat. I ended up eating in my car... I had a small donair, small bean salad and a piece of baklava. It ended up being way too much food. The pistachio baklava was sooooo good. I would definitely go back if... More

awesome place. they're quick (even during those busy lunches), friendly, the chicken shwarma has unequivocally the juiciest, well seasoned chicken i have ever tasted in canada, and all for a mean price. this thing is $12.50 for a large (don't quote me on that) and it's like you're holding a preemie in your hands. though this doesn't come with all...

Jimmy's is the best value donair in Calgary. The portion size is incredible and it is very good. Fun place, great staff always. If Jimmy is there he is very personable and energetic. Samosas and other items (baclava, etc.) are also excellent.

Better food then appearance. The donair is among the best I've ever had. Pair that with some pistachio baklava and your really living.

Hi decided to buy Jimmy's for all my staff telling them it was the best. I had been before and had really good food, but this time, the food was not fresh and they messed up a lot of orders. My staff was very disappointed... Probably will not go back. Had really good meal in past - but would recommend... More
