aida's mediterranean bistro

delicious every time! such a 4th st treat!

great place!. i tried aida's for the first time yesterday after hearing good things about it for a while. it did not disappoint. the food was fresh and high quality. i had the falafel as well as the chicken tawook sandwich with fattoush and potatoes. huge portions and it was all delicious & service was good too. it was nice to see someone making a traditional fattoush salad and they got it right. i will be back, but if going for dinner, i suggest a reservation as it isn' t that big of a space.

one of the best!!. middle eastern food is tricky for me. i dont crave it too often, so when i do, it better be good. i have been to restaurants where they make it too dry or too bland.. and i have been to restaurants where its delicious.
aida was more on the 'delicious' side of my radar. i ordered the lamb kabob platter, with the tabouleh and baba ganouj. the tabouleh salad was great, the baba ganouj was tasty - you cant go wrong with eggplant - and the lamb skewers were delicious! i only wish the skewers werent as small! i wiped my plate clean!

the location of the restaurant is great, and the atmosphere is pretty relaxed too.

so so so yummy. i would fly back to calgary just to have the mouhammara......
i have since left calgary and moved out east. i can't find a restaurant as good as this one for similar cuisine.

i used to order takeout from here a lot when i lived in calgary as well as dine in.

miss you aida's

cute little place that's perfect for a quick [business] lunch or a date (though we know that garlic is used heavily in lebanese food.) platters are tastefully prepared and served. attentive service, delicious, reasonably priced food.

delicious!. this restaurant has really great food! have been here several times and am never disappointed! the muhummara is really good, as well as the shawarma and...basically anything else on the menu! the food is always very fresh and the restaurant has a very nice ambience. would definitely recommend.

if you're looking for great authentic mediterranean food, look no further, aida's on 4th street is the place to go.

we ordered take out from aidas because that is all we can do at the moment. when i called i was told that the orders were backed up so we asked to get our food at a certain time. when i came to pick up the food it was sitting there and i asked if it was sitting there for a while and was told no. when i got the food home the food was completely cold. this is typical of the service we can expect in calgary. i would like to support local restaurants but they appreciate your patronage by giving you cold food. when i called to complain i was told they would give my complaint some consideration whatever that means! they don't really care about paying customers so if you go there this is the kind of service you can expect.

we usually get take-out from aida's once a week. always great food.

sir yums a lot. we went here for my boyfriend's birthday last year. we got one of the platters and it was totally worth it. service was awesome as well. will go again!

great good and service. i am been to aida's a few times for lunch and service was always quick and very good. had the veggie mezza and the falafel and both were great.

authentic lebanese restaurant that makes you feel like family. mezza platter is huge & a great way to try lots of flavours. mouhammara is amazing & specialty drinks are quite good. (4/5)

i went with the chefs suggestion - chicken shish taouk with rice and salad. baba and pita. chicken was impeccable - fresh, moist, tasty and smooth. the rice was subtlety flavoured and the salad was fresh and nicely herbed. the baba was home made and very tasty as was the sliced pita. haven’t been here in years! will have to go back with my wife.

initial ambiance was pretty amazing. high ceilings with a cozy feel. we started off with the cheese platter and the meat pies. both starters were delicious although the meat pies needed a bit more seasoning/salt. as a main we got the skewer platter so we could sample all skewers. meat was cooked well - tender and juicy, tabouli needed a little more lemon for an extra kick.

overall a great experience although i've had better lebanese food at a much lower price.

what a wonderful lunch! this is one of my favorite places. the one dip i am so addicted to is their mouhammara, it the most amazimg dip i have ever had. i always order one to eat there and take three home. i normally order grape leaves as well and a original mezza platter served with grape leaves, falafel, baba ghannouj, hummus, kibby, fatayer, sfeeha, labneh. great for 2-3 people. the grape leaves are served warm and just the right spices and lemon, their falafel are wonderful with a great not to dry and crumbly. the only thing i would of liked more would be the hummus. i felt lacking. it had a weak tahini taste. i loved the baba cause it was not as smoky as other places. it was perfectly spiced as well. they give you plenty of pita breads for dipping and a lot of food for the price. a great place to go for a romantic date or just hang out with friends, cozy and quiet and has a wonderful table service.
