Updates (2024-06-27): You MUST try the frozen empanadas in their freezer! We got the black beans empanadas, baked them from frozen at 400F for 10 to 15 min, flip halfway. They were perfect! -- Previous review -- Cute little restaurant and marketplace. A hidden gem that's been around for 10 years. Great, friendly service, delicious, homestyle food. Check it out next time you are on 17 Ave!!!

My friend Elizabeth was visiting from Australia, and her husband is Venezuelan, so we decided to have dinner at Heaven after spending some time at the Latin Festival. There were six in our group, so we were able to share quite a few of the menu items. We had the Pabellon Criollo, which is Venezuela's national dish, both the Prawn and Roasted Chicken Pataconwichs (recommended by TV Food Celebrity Guy Fieri), the Pabellon Arepas and the appetizer platter. For dessert, we tried the Alfajores, the Quesillo, and the Tres Leches Cake. Everything was terrific, and the service was great! According to Raul, the food is authentic Venezuelan fare, so this place is a treasure for Calgary. I already plan on returning with other friends to try more items from their menu. A special note: there are vegan options, and everything is gluten-free.

100% Gluten free. Excellent service, very helpful. It was our first time trying this and it was amazing. We had pulled pork empanadas that were crispy, hot and avourful. And we shared hot chorizo and beef Arepa. They both had great flavour and are surprisingly filling! We will be coming back!

As someone with a Gluten Allergy this place is literally Heaven on earth! Even my non-gluten free friends love eating here. They were very accommodating for a large group of us for a very special occasion and made the entire experience a lovely memory. Always recommend the quesadillas and shrimp tacos!

This place has amazing empanadas. So crispy outside and with delicious fillings. Definitely recommend. This restaurant was featured on tv show dives and diners. Prices ranges 19-23 per plate.

Delicious food and friendly service. Nice little cafe for hanging out with friends and grab some good food! They also have a little area for buying frozen/pre-made soups and other food items. Lovely place.

We got the beef burrito and the vegan burrito. The beef burrito was good but the burrito portion is a little small. However, there is a good amount of meat in there. A little pricey for what you get. They can only email or text you the receipt which was unfortunate since this was a business trip. Expensing the food added an extra step also I don’t like spam and I am not sure what they will do with my email. The water was warm. Overall decent experience but prob wouldn’t come here again. Edit: I came here during the Christmas break and the food was spectacular. The service was great and the atmosphere was good as well.

One of the unique places on 17th! Owners are originally from Venezuela, so you can practice your Spanish lol Delicious food, first place I've seen plantains on the menu! For people who's looking for gluten free options this would be the one. Our Saturday brunch was amazing, tacos and empanadas cure bowl. Definitely gonna visit again!
