Middle Eastern Restaurants near Burnaby, BC

“I had the lamb Donair wrap. Outstanding. They put the correct amount of tzatziki sauce, lettuce, onion, and tomato on it. I’ve had Jeruss in Greece and Turkey. This place rivals the best. There is little seating outside And it could use a good cleaning“

I HIGHLY recommend your food and restaurant.“

I'll be back for more of their delicious dishes!“

“Delicious grill shawarma and the ambience“

“Great kebabs, good atmosphere!“

“One of the best hidden gems in Delta! Don’t judge this place by its exterior—the food is incredibly fresh, clean, and full of flavor. The staff provided outstanding service and worked together like a well-oiled machine while remaining friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. The portion sizes are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this spot and will definitely be coming back. 100% worth trying!“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the best hidden gems in East Vancouver! The food was outstanding, with generous portions, fresh ingredients. The donair plates were loaded with perfectly cooked meat, rice, salad, and hummus, and everything tasted amazing.

The newly opened patio was a pleasant surprise, especially with the incredible beer specials—$4.99 pints and $15.99 pitchers. Great food, cold beer, friendly staff, and excellent value all in one place.

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favour and stop by Powell Donair & Kebab. You won’t leave hungry!“

“Had a delicious platter with my husband almsot 2 weeks ago. The girls there are hardworking and quick on their feet to serve to the customers.
The tables were a bit dirty and I think after every customer they should clean it immediately, however, no complaints on the taste, quality and portion size of the meal!“

“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“

“My family (2 adults, 4 kids) were hiking in Belcarra.
In our way back home to Richmond, we thought about what to eat and agreed on craving donair.
We brainstormed which donair place we enjoyed and I remembered Donair Tower.
So we put it in our GPS to stop on our way home.
It did not disappoint.
Clean restaurant, welcoming atmosphere.
Friendly service though he was a little bit overwhelmed by our order for 6. He was alone and struggled a bit with the high tech cashier system.
Since we had time, it was more cute.
The food made the wait worth it!
The portions are big, the donair delicious, the fries crispy on the outside.
Leftover were fought after.
Coming back when in the region.“

“I had a wonderful experience at donair Affair. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made the experience exceptional was the excellent service provided by Parneet Khaira. Parneet was attentive, friendly, and professional, and everything was perfect.“

“My daughter and I were going to see a show at Theatre Under the Stars this past Friday night. We thought it to be a nice idea to have dinner at a place on Denman Street. As we were walking along, we came across an nice and quiet restaurant named Sadra. No one else was rhere so we decided to go in. Our waitress was very kind and gave us a warm welcome. We got a table on the patio and ordered a platter for 2. Well it was delicious! Very high quality meats. Very flavourful and a large portion. Just excellent food. We will be back again soon!“

“The warmest, kindest, people you will ever meet! The nice DJ played request songs we could dance to, the bison was amazing(!), the place was clean, drinks were tasty, and Veronica even made me a Birthday card, with complimentary cake and candle! Thanks to ALL for a fun time! :-))“

“I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and have always considered it one of the best donair places in New Westminster. That’s why I was excited to visit the new location today.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The donair was cold on the inside and the meat was quite dry, which is not the quality I’ve come to expect from this place.

I truly believe that when a business grows from a small location to a bigger one, it’s because customers love its taste, quality, and consistency. Those are the standards that made people keep coming back.

I’m giving 3 stars because of the many good experiences I’ve had over the years, and I will give it another try. I sincerely hope this was just an off day. Growth should create more happy memories for loyal customers, not disappointment.

Wishing the team continued success and hoping to see the original quality return.“

“100/100“

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

“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!“

“Really good Indian food — everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Portions were great too. Our boss from The Cycle City up the street bought lunch for the whole team, and everyone enjoyed it. Good vibes, friendly service, and solid food. Thanks for the good lunch, Josh and Indian Abroad! Definitely recommend 👍“

“I had a donair date here the other day. My chicken donair and fries were yummy. I did notice my meat came from the back so they must have heated it up. It didn’t bother me. It was still yummy. The owners are kind and professional. It’s a basic place, very regimented, owned and run by a cute couple. They have their own technique as to how much ingredient goes into each donair or plate which I’m okay with. They do give one napkin with each meal but it’s not a big deal, get up and go get more if needed. The napkins are right up at the front. If one wants certain extra toppings then ask for it- plain and simple. I’ve gone and ate here several times with no issues. Quite tasty each time and I appreciate the owners working hard and hustling everyday.“

“I actually don't know how to rate this and have never rated on aroma before. I was waiting for the bus and if i had more time I would have gone in. The aroma was amazing and I don't eat beef or lamb. I looked back at least 6 times and when I have time I'll go back to try something.“

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

“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!“

“Some of my friends had recommended Donair Dude for some excellent lunchtime meals.
I was very happy with my donair and pleasantly surprised with the excellent customer service at this donair establishment. As it was my first Donair here, the attendant was very helpful and patient.
It is also open late and close to so many performances. A great location for before a Roger's Arena or BC Place event.
They have a great chicken donair, or a beef donair, or a lamb donair, or... you get it, lots of selection! 😉
They also offer a discount for SOME students, so ask if they do.“

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

“Greatest customer service ever I was passing by and I called 2 min before they close and the guy still picked up my call and they mad my order it’s my favourite place to eat in surrey by far There A girl and guy working can’t remember their names sadly but Her name starts with P tho 🤣 thanks guys had to leave the review:)“

“Hello i visited this location a week ago at that time to males were working there it was almost closing time. The food was amazing, The falafel was fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside — absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the toppings were fresh. Great portion size and friendly service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“One of the best shawarma places I've been to! The food was fresh and delicious, especially the chicken on the stick—it was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. The service was also excellent. My order was prepared very quickly, and everything was ready within just a few minutes. The staff was quick and fast, and the whole experience was great. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!“
