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“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing service ! One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Super professional, friendly, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would 100% recommended to anyone. Definitely 5 stars!“

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

“I will go in and check out this place.. since the owner made it all right with me now“

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

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

“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.“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“Great Taste 👍 👌 highly recommended“

“So fresh, so delicious, great portions! Friendly staff and amazing food, highly recommend. Got the chicken wrap and platter with extra garlic sauce on the side. We also got baklava, which isn't pictured here because it was so delicious we forgot to take a pic - it was so flaky and perfectly sweet. We will be back!“

“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'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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious grill shawarma and the ambience“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great kebabs, good atmosphere!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The best vaziri in Vancouver! The bossman Reza is a friendly, authentic guy, and the food, service, atmosphere is off the charts! I come at least once a week, come say hi to Reza and feast on the amazing food. Thank you for being in Vancouver!“

“They make their shawarma with saaj bread. I got 3 kinds of meat: chicken lamb and beef. It was so fresh and delicious. Plus it's halal as well. Service was great as well. Thank you so much
I'll be back for sure 🤗“

“Had the falafel...was quite disappointed when I saw the gentlemen throw it into the microwave... *Sigh*. Other than that, it was ok..I was greeted warmly by the wife and the husband came and made it... It was average, def have had better. Bonus: the pricing is pretty good...$9 in tax for the falafel donair and the chicken would've been $10.“

“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!“

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

“That kind of service makes all the difference! When a local spot has people like Khatira and Simran making you feel genuinely welcome—and a cook who actually takes the time to get the hummus perfectly smooth and refined—it instantly turns a quick bite into a favorite ritual.“

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

“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 👍“

“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!“
