Soby's Eatery - Calgary

Great food and the owners are so friendly, great customer service

The food tasted good and we had a good time here : . Tea is a bit expensive here.

Awesome food. Great people, great service and great location.

I have been coming here for quite a while now, since they opened quite near to my home. Soby's immediately replaced my previous shisha spot, as I love the more relaxed vibe, and you can converse without struggling to hear over the music. I would say the demographic is a bit older then many other places, so it is not your typical shisha bar, but more of a restaurant and cafe atmosphere as well. For me that is preferable, but for anyone looking for a rowdier crowd or louder music would be better off to look elsewhere. They have a good variety of flavours, and the owners have some nice suggestions as well.The food is delicious, I usually get the Ful, which is beyond words! A really filling bean dish to eat on your own, or you can share it as well, as it comes with pita. I have tried most the veggie dishes on the menu, and they are all tasty, but the ful really stands out, and it is actually rather hard to find in Calgary, and even why I try to make it at home it is not quite as good at Soby's. I usually have tea when I go, or once in a while coffee, but my go-to is a pot of mint tea.As for the prices, I find them to be reasonable for 17th ave, you can get middle eastern food for better prices in other parts of the city, but to have the relaxing atmosphere and 17th ave location its well priced. It is also quite spacious inside, so you are not sitting with your table stacked up against the next group.The owners are very friendly, provide good service and make you feel welcome. One of the many reasons I keep coming back!

Crisp, clean setting with great Middle Eastern food; served with by the owner, with a smile and a joke. Plenty of parking on side streets. Food came quickly and tasted healthy and flavourful.
