Discover our smoky, creamy Eggplant Salad at Spiced Route Shawarma in Forest Lawn, Calgary. Fire-roasted eggplant blended with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to create a smoky, creamy dip. Served with warm pita bread, this traditional Middle Eastern appetizer is perfect for sharing or as a flavorful addition to any meal.
Our Eggplant Salad, also known as Baba Ganoush, is a beloved Middle Eastern classic that showcases the incredible depth of flavor that can be achieved with simple, quality ingredients. We roast whole eggplants over an open flame until the skin is completely charred and the flesh becomes silky soft, infusing the vegetable with an irresistible smoky aroma.
The roasted eggplant is then blended with tahini, fresh garlic, bright lemon juice, and finished with a drizzle of premium olive oil. The result is a creamy, smoky dip that's perfect for scooping with warm pita bread or enjoying alongside your favorite dishes.
Our Eggplant Salad makes the perfect starter to any Middle Eastern meal. Pair it with warm pita for a traditional mezze experience, or enjoy it as a healthy side dish with any of our shawarma platters. It's a customer favorite at our Forest Lawn restaurant and a must-try for anyone exploring authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in Calgary.
