Middle Eastern Restaurants near Burnaby, BC

“I had a great experience at Donair Delight! The food was absolutely delicious and really high-quality — super fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The place is small but very cozy, and it has a nice, comfortable vibe. Definitely recommend it! 🌯✨“

“Went there recently and ordered a lamb donair, and the new lady there made the best donair I have ever had, not just randomly slapped together, but built properly with meat on one side and the veggies on the other side, it both tasted fantastic and looked delicious.“

“Honestly, this is one of the best that SFU campus has to offer. Sure the rice is not authentic, but the chicken is spectacular. For around $13, you really can't complain because you get rice and chicken, salad, and hummus with all the sauces - ranch, garlic mayo, and spicy. The bad reviews are being too critical when considering the value. Mushy rice? Yeah you're getting a generous amount of sauce, be thankful.“

“Amazing food! Amazing staff! Cultural! Love it! Chef is the real deal!“

“The food here is one of the best I’ve had. Also super friendly and nice staff, specially Assis? Not sure how to spell his name. I always find myself coming back to have more. Their garlic sauce is heavenly.

Edit new visit: I KEEP coming back to this place, honestly it’s one of the best I’ve ever tried, their potatoes, rice and garlic sauce is like 20/10!!!!“

“Picked up staff lunch today...generous portions! Delicious and fresh! Highly recommend this Granville Street eatery!“

“Such great food! The servers are second to none and the live entertainment on Saturday was amazing! 10/10 would do it 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.“

“Great Taste 👍 👌 highly recommended“

“The food was amazing and excellent value for money. Also the options were a little different from what you usually get. The fried eggplant is out of this world good! Great service too.“

“I often grab a chicken donair for lunch at work. It’s filling and fresh. Sometimes there’s a little line up but doesn’t take long. The amount of sauce is too generous for me and is adjustable as well as the veggies. I have not yet tried their platters and friends tell me it is enough for two meals.

There were some restrictions with credit card usage. I was not able to use my MC, so something to keep in mind before ordering.“

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

“This is an awesome place to be for fast and tastiest food . I was there with a friend yesterday who introduced me to this and today I woke up , got ready to get another box for my second day. With the food, the lady who attends to you is very nice as well. While you wait for the food , she offered me a hot chai tea and a snack to taste. Great service with a smile . #supportsmallBusiness . Thank you for great good“

“Homa restaurant has healthy and delicious food and its employees are kind, active and compassionate with new management. Thank you.“

“One of the best donairs I’ve had around here, not greasy, not overly salty, good portion of meat, fresh veggies. I had the chicken Donair, will be back to try other menu items. Looks like a mother and son operation, they are both working hard to serve everyone in a timely manner. Go check it out!“

“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.“

“Great kebabs, good atmosphere!“

“The food tasted OK. The chicken was somewhat dry. Overall edible.The customer service was good. The staff were nice and friendly, serving the food with a smile. And they were very fast and efficient which is what I like. While I’m running around at work.I hope the owner does his part and improves the food quality just a little bit more so than he can have everything a good restaurant should. They are almost there. Keep up the good work.“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“I visited this restaurant recently and had a great experience. The food was flavorful and served fresh as well as the portion was very satisfied. The staff was welcoming and attentive, I would happily recommend this place to my friends and others.“

“Bought 2 wraps, beef was pretty good. Chicken was pretty much all lettuce, definitely needed more chicken, did not much. To much lettuce and not enough anything else. I see in the reviews this has been an issue before. Pita was really good tho.“

“The food was prepared on time and was very delicious. The meat and chicken were very fresh. I got the mixed Turkish kebab. I recommend you try it. Their prices were very good and the customer service was very respectful and kind. Good luck.“

“It's a small but generous place. The staff is very kind and generous. It's impossible for such people to serve you a bad meal. So, I recommend everyone who happens to be there to try it. And anyone who hasn't been there should definitely consider it. Stay well.“

“I've been to many Pakistani restaurants but Karakoram Restaurant stands out for its authentic flavors and generous portions. The karahi was spicy and savory, and the basmati rice was fluffy and fragrant. The staff were friendly and attentive and the prices were very reasonable. I'll be back for more of their delicious dishes!“

“100/100“

“I had a great experience here. Aisa was very welcoming and made sure we felt comfortable right away. The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the kebabs and rice dishes. Portion sizes were generous and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for authentic Persian food.“

“The Caribbean Chicken donair is the best thing since sliced bread! I love coming here—the staff is always super friendly and polite. I just wish they had better air conditioning for their own comfort, as it can get sweltering hot for them.“

“Delicious grill shawarma and the ambience“

“One of the best donairs I've had in a while, I ordered a mix lamb and beef. The donair was wrapped tightly with fresh and very delcious meat and vegetables. The restaurant was very clean and had a nice asethic. Very kind service as well.

There wasn't any music playing, which is kinda nice actually but I do enjoy being exposed to some middle eastern music every now and then.

Definitely come and get a domair here!“

“The service by the Gurleen kaur who is employee over there is very professional by her work. They even offered me the Sunday special, but since I am vegetarian, I chose the veg falafel wrap. The wrap was very delicious and the quantity was more than enough. I truly appreciate the service, and I must say I have never had like this before. I really appreciate this place and the hardworking employees. Thankfull to the owner who hired these kind of employees.“

“As usual, I ordered the shawarma platter and the quality is on par with most other establishments in the area. (Although the chicken used to be better when they prepared it on the spit. Now it's done in a convection oven)
I particularly like the whipped garlic sauce they offer. Which I don't see this in many other middle eastern restaurants. The hummus is also light and fluffy.
The Saj wrap was a nice change from traditional pita bread wrap.
I would and will eat here again when I am in the neighborhood“

“I stopped by this donair shop and had the best experience! Kajal, made the perfect donair—fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. The place was spotless, and her friendly attitude made the visit even better. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and top-notch service.“

“Amazing food and friendly staff. Thank you for the delicious meals! Always satisfied!“

“The freshly made bread is the best. I stop by this family run business every time I'm in town!“

“Always a favourite in Austin Heights!
The donairs here are delicious, but what really makes this spot special is the sweet couple who runs it. We’re regulars, and they always remember our order—which is such a nice touch! You can really feel the care they put into both the food and their service. Such a cozy, welcoming spot in the neighbourhood!“

“this place has one of the best doinar in new westminster, the chicken and beef are really good“

“Amazing stop in tonight! Friends and I stopped in after a beach day in town, Kyra served us; great recommendations for cocktails and beer and food.

Started with crispy cauliflower with avocado tahini dip and lamb gravy poutine. Brilliant!

Then I had the lamb burger which was CRAZY and buds shared the lamb chops, also amazing, with the dip served.

Will be back to try more things, A++++

The cool cuke 10/10 alcohol taste blended well, refreshing, engaging

Bourbon sunset 12/10 booze forward, citrus plum notes, nice strong cocktail.“

“Amazing traditional middle eastern products. Hummus, baba ganoush, tzaziki, ... All delicious. Have only tried a hand full of their products and looking forward to try some more. That homemade almond butter is in my list!Staff is super friendly, super helpful with recommendations and let you have a little taste of things to make the decision making process easier.If you are in the area and fancy to buy some delicious products, look no longer!“

“Love this place, except that not all staff are on the same page with how to fill their spoons when making the wraps. Shouldn’t have to ask to have a proper amount — a tsp of filling isn’t sufficient. 2nd time I’ve had a wrap and the first few bites are only pita because it isn’t full.

Normally can get 2 servings out of 1 because they’re big and full! But not always, depends on who makes it-_- which is kinda annoying.“

“i went there today around 11am with my husband tried their Friday deal surprisingly the food was really tasty awesome food presentation too if anyone want to eat Indian food like home then must give it a try it’s worthy as well as delicious“

“Great lunch. Perfect spot to watch the parade. Thanks for the great food.“

“A huge thank you to Avi and Kunal for their outstanding service!
Their communication was clear, polite, and always on time. The food was delivered fresh, well-packed, and tasted amazing. They truly care about customer satisfaction and go above and beyond. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for better food service and great overall experience.“

“I have been going to Owmow’s pretty regularly and it’s always a great experience. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful, which makes such a difference. The space is clean and comfortable, and everything feels well taken care of. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.“

“I had an absolutely amazing experience at Donair Dude! The food here is exceptionally good—honestly, one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite, and the portion sizes are more than satisfying.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the customer service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a valued guest. They take the time to explain the options if you’re unsure, and they make sure your order is just right. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and love what they do.

Whether you’re a donair lover or trying it for the first time, this place will not disappoint. Highly recommend!“

“Best chain/lunch/fast donair in the city this location has 3 of the nicest service workers (they know who they are) that I've met since coming to the lowermainland for work. Me and rebar crew work up a very large appetite and are always super full when we return after lunch. Definitely recommend if you in a rush you can be on and out in under 10 minutes.“
