"The food Ingredients were fresh, The meal had a taste that is unmatched in Cold Lake! The service was amazing, The restaurant is clean and beautifully designed! By far the best place in town!"
"Absolutely fantastic food with generous portions and awesome friendly service. Cold Lake needed some more variety and I’m glad we got this."
"Extremely friendly, humorous and knowledgeable staff in a clean warm welcoming environment. I ordered the chicken towook platter and it was 10/10, hands down the best I have ever experienced. Portion sizes allowed me to take home some very satisfying left overs."
"Our organization used 1948 for a Valentines Day catering event and WOW! The customer service was above and beyond, communication was great, food DELICIOUS—fresh, well prepared and plated nicely."
"First time customer, forever fan. 1948 is delivering some tasty chicken shawarma. Large portion sizes—huge and it’s not just fluff—but actual loads of protein. The toum (iykyk) could easily sell in a bottle on its own."
"All I can say is WOW, best shawarma I’ve ever had hands down! Amazing food, incredible service, can’t recommend enough!!"
Generous plates. Warm service. Flavours bold enough to rival any big-city Mediterranean kitchen.
