“Brilliant Donair“

“Went for a birthday brunch ❣️ Excellent service!! Beautiful setting, highly recommend!“

“I knew the second the Greek salad was super fresh and tasty that the rest of my lamb souvlaki meal would be an experience, and boy was I right. The potatos and lamb melt in your mouth. The pita, tatziki, and rice pilaf were seasoned to perfection. It was pricey, but it was SO worth it. I can't wait to try something else next time I have a reason to celebrate.“

“First time ever trying Armenian food. It was fantastic! Great food, great service. Thanks again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I went to your restaurant for the first time this Oct. The love you showed us through your food is beyond any words could say. The food was amazing, and the family-style service allowed me to try a variety of excellent Palestinian cuisine. I cannot wait to bring my family and eat again at your restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend your food and restaurant.“

“We ordered food several times for our office meeting lunches (up to 40 orders) and every time the food quality and quantity was amazing and exceeded our expectations. Alex was very accommodating and helpful while processing food order and figuring out the logistics. Thank you Hungry Zus, we will be back! Irena“

“The best restaurant ever! The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable, the ambience is outstanding but of course …. It’s the food! Absolutely amazing!! Celebrating a birthday and they went over and above to make me feel special. Wish I could do it all over again! Do not miss this restaurant! Well worth every minute.“

“My partner and I have driven past this place a few times, both thinking to ourselves that we want to go to Daddy's Grill just because of its name, lol. Today we finally visited!

Honestly, I had a great time. The menu is both as simple and as varied as it should be. It makes ordering easy. Everything on the menu looks good, so it's hard to go wrong.

The food itself is delicious, cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Very nice choice for salad dressing, all are great flavours combined in one dish. I was offered a large naan with some dipping sauce as an appetizer, and it was so so good.

When it comes to shops offering Persian cuisine, this one is higher class. The food, the service, the interior decor, everything is high quality and the restaurant itself is very clean, including in the bathrooms. I wasn't expecting that! I also came at a busy time, the kitchen is open concept so you can watch the chefs as they cook -- They are very efficient.

There was a man, who I assume is the owner, that was catering to my table. He makes you feel like family. He is such a humble and good person, you can tell the customer experience is very important to him.

There were a couple girls working the tables as well, they approached the right amount of times and no one was over-bearing or over-serving. They have everything perfectly balanced.

I will absolutely come back to this restaurant for its delicious food and also for the great experience. Thanks everyone!“

“The food is very good, and tasty. The people are very friendly. I will recommend this Donair place to everybody. If you hungry go to Donair Dude in the Capilano Mall.“

“First time dining at Kypriaki Restaurant, and we had such a great time! The food was delicious, and the lunch deal of the 1/2 Chicken Souvlaki was well-plated. The portion was spot on. The flavors of the meal and the tenderness of the chicken was on point. Our server was so pleasant and welcoming, which made the experience even more memorable. We'll try to come back sometime soon! Definitely give these guys a try - you won't regret it. *There's 90-minute parking at the back of the restaurant“

“Anytime I'm in Vancouver this is always a spot to go to. Birthday celebrations, lunch date or romantic dinner. The food is always delicious, flavorful and perfect balance of spices. I always recommend this place for anytime dinning. The staff are amazing and the recommendations are on point. ny favorite time to go are evenings - intimate and cozy. 5 stars !!!!“

“Delicious grill shawarma and the ambience“

“Definitely one of the best hot sauces in the league !“

“It’s always awesome to have great and fresh food with amazing varieties of items of both vegetarian and non vegetarian that are sure to please everyone’s taste buds and one such place is there within easy reach and reasonable pricing. This is the place which has been in operation for several years now helping many office workers in the tower and many people in and around the area. The portions come with choice of meats and two vegetable items totally complimentary! For the carb, they serve hot rice with a surprising addition of a fried papad at no charge. This has been my ‘go to’ place for my lunch everyday for many years so long I was working in the tower office and now having retired visit this place without fail whenever I happened to visit downtown Vancouver. Great quality with no change in taste and flavour for years. Checkout their special item of the day, that is on every weekday Recommended highly!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable items - brussels, cabbage, chickpea curry, kidney beans curry, sautéed masala potatoes“

“Another amazing dinner at our favorite restaurant in the heart of New Westminster. Right from the moment I called and made a reservation to celebrate our friends for 31 years Birthday ( Sheryl and Terry share the same day..September 14. )...I felt very welcomed...like family. We had a prime seat reserved with a spectacular view of the Mighty Fraser River. Our special celebration was made even more special as our server Simone was extremely attentive and offering exceptional service. We all had separate options as our main meals and each of us was extremely satisfied with the portion sizes and the presentation . As we are all long time residents of The Royal City...we strive to support local businesses and this family restaurant is often our first choice. I often refer to our beautiful City...as The Brooklyn Of Vancouver...nestled on the Mighty Fraser River. Thank you for making this epic Co Birthday a special memory. Stephen and Ingrid Beattie..“

“They are the best food, for the best price, and top service. Our favorite place to go. Good old fashion personable service. Not fancy, but who wants fancy shamancy when you get the best of everything else.“

“While taking a break from strumming, I had the opportunity to try these Mediterranean delicacies on Commercial Drive. They quickly drew my attention and I must confess they are truly delightful.“

“I absolutely love this place, the guy who runs it is super sweet and he makes the food super quick. I was a regular here for a while and he memorized my order which made me feel special. The prices are all super reasonable and you can get a full balanced meal that tastes good for less then 20 bucks. This is the only donair shop I ever spend money in.“

“Amazing food, quick in the kitchen and the service is outstanding. They have a very efficient system to ensure that their patrons are well looked after and have everything they need to have an enjoyable dinner experience. Five stars ❤️“

“More a 'go if you're in the area' rather than a favorite donair spot for me. Service is friendly. Regular platter portions is sparse, recommend paying for extra chicken to get a decent amount.

Flavor is good, has tabouli salad which is unique for donair places. Donair with decent portions is getting more expensive.“

“Excellent atmosphere excellent service very good drinks and delicious authentic Greek cuisine. It’s like being back in Mykonos. Especially with the Uzo Mojito. Mmmmm good 😊“

“The portion is 30% less than before. I have been ordering from this place for years, I understand with the inflation and everything that they have the price increase, and I'm OK with that, but I'm not OK with the portion size. I still do love the food is always consistent with flavor, but definitely not happy with a portion. The meat had very little amount in there, And I was gonna charge two dollars for extra hot sauce, which I'm OK paying, but the container was so tiny“

“Stopped in Saturday afternoon after a long stretch of flights and finally had a proper sit down meal, the zilzil tibs were smoky and rich in a way that put every North American version I've tried to shame. The owner came by our table twice to check in without being pushy about it, which felt genuine rather than rehearsed. Parking was easy right along the street, no circling the block for twenty minutes like half the spots in this neighborhood. Small dining room, warm lighting, injera arrived still warm and the whole place had that unhurried, family run energy you can't fake.“

“Delicious Chicken Wraps. Loves the sauce (tzatziki). Excellent service. Portions are filling.“

“We had a large group from work that wanted to get together for dinner. Anatoli’s was the only place in North Vancouver that was willing to allow us to order from the regular menu rather than force us into a fixed meal with only a few choices. The atmosphere was great! The food was great .. everyone enjoyed themselves !! Thank you to the staff at Anatoli’s !!!“

“Amazing, amazing meals Donair Dude !! Just wanted to let you know how much our cast and crew enjoyed savouring your delicious carefully prepared meals for us all … complete with name labels and everything !!

So appreciated your delivery to our on-site filming location. Dinner was delivered piping hot and arrived on time … above expectations … including the Free onsite door delivery 🚚

Can’t wait to hire you for our catering event.

“I must be honest I only buy Donair. But his is the best. Haven't found anything equal as good. His secret sauce makes him the King of Donaires. ❤️👍👍“

“Awesome food and service. They have the best calamari that I have found. Well done!“

“A great late-night option for wraps and platters, my personal preference.

Chicken/Lamb/Beef platters are $18.49 each, and my portion was happily hefty when I picked it up in person versus ordering via DoorDash/Uber Eats. It comes with Greek salad, 2x domaldes, 2 potatoes, rice, and a heap of meat that gets covered in 2 sauces of your choice.

I also ordered a side tabbouleh that I wish was more dominant with parsley, but it’s still decent, and quite filling with the extra quinoa.

The location was super clean, and the customer service was sincerely warm and friendly. Not sure what’s with all the negative reviews, but in my opinion, if you enter with a smile, you’ll get served with smiles in return.

Thanks for feeding me!“

“Great food, large portions. The new owners took heed from the past reviews and the portions are huge. The food is excellent and fresh. I highly recommend Donair Dude. And for those who need a midnight snack, they are open till late. Cheers!“

“Delicious desserts, clean and pleasant atmosphere. Had the Bow-tie pastry. So yummy.“

“Perfect Persian food and environment! We’ll come back again.“

“Best Chickpea fries ever.
The hummus, falafel, eggplant, and the salad was so tasty. One of the most flavourful vegetarian places I've ever tried. Portion are very generous.
Try the hatzilim! eggplant 🍆 pickle. Soo nice with hummus“

“These guys always hook it up. If you get a donair, it'll be bursting at the seams. If you order a platter, the box will hardly close. If you want extra hot sauce, they gotchu no problem. You get full here. Not too salty, vegetables fresh, sauces are well made, orders come up quick. Way better than those chains which employ random cheap kids who don't know how to cook and would rather look at their phones than learn the craft. They put every other restaurant in the immediate area to shame by just sticking to principles and delivering a great product without compromise. It's actually nutritious. It's authentic and good, and I hope they stay for a very long time.“

“Been coming here for awhile, I love all their food and specials. Today we accidentally picked up the wrong order and the manager Shivdeep came to our car to correct our order! Didn’t expect the amazing service & hospitality. Will always be back here. 5 stars all the way!“

“Good food and excellent service.“

“Came in to try this place out with my parents! Really great place and service, very welcoming and sweet staff. Portions on the Shawarma are not cheap and full of meat, tried out the lamb and chicken it was delicious. Would recommend this place out for sure if you’re ever around.“

“We had dinner here tonight , ordered calamari, beef souvlaki and the Greek baby back ribs. Everything waa delicious and the portions were huge, that we both ended up taking half of our dinners home for another meal.
We live in New Westminster and their Coquitlam location much closer but we rather drive bit further to this location. The service at the Surrey location has been wonderful both times we been here.
Tonight we were taken care of by Melissa. Big shout out to her. She made us feel welcome, was attentive and shared a funny story with us. We went at 4pm before the busy dinner crowd, so we didn't feel rushed and truly enjoyed our meal and conversations.
Thank you again and we will be back.“

“Unfortunately, one major issue with this restaurant is that while customers are eating, the servers constantly watch their table and food. This made us feel very uncomfortable throughout our meal, and we experienced this firsthand during our visit two days ago.“

“Love coming to Donair Dude! The food is always great, but the service makes it even better. A huge shoutout to Talvir for being exceptionally friendly and welcoming, as well as the rest of the staff whose names I didn't catch. Everyone here works hard and treats customers wonderfully. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent customer service! The staff was very helpful and quickly assisted me with changing my online order. They were polite, professional, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I really appreciate their prompt support. Thank you for the great service!“

“We were here for lunch on a Monday and the service was exceptional, the atmosphere quiet with pleasant music, and the food was wonderful. Lots of it too! The place to go when you're hungry. It's quite spacious as well with tables that can be easily moved. Near Royal City shopping center so it lined up nicely with a few errands.“
