Very good donair!! Good flavour!! Really appreciated how clean his kitchen was. Everything was fresh. You can always get extra sauce if you need. We have two everything beef/lamb donairs and are very pleased!! Saw another customer order the chicken salad and that looked amazing too!!

Stopped by for lunch today - enjoyed my beef and lamb platter! The meat was not dry, tasted well seasoned and I enjoyed the garlic and sweet sauce. Rice was cooked perfectly, I enjoyed the yogurt dip with my pita as well. Sweet sauce is pretty sweet so I’ll ask for less of that next time!Owner served me with a smile and price is reasonable. I’ll be sure to stop by when the cravings hit!Parking: Plaza parking

My husband brought me to Ishtar Donair from white rock just to show me this place. We got the chicken falafel platter and let me tell you it is like an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Everything is so fresh, made with precision and love. You can tell this guy knows what he's doing!! Im not usually a huge fan of chunky salads, but this one omg, the dressing on it, the jalapeños EVERYTHING, was fabulous. Definitely will be making a monthly trip out here, (maybe biweekly ;) ) just to get the platter again!! Thanks so much! Support local business ♡♡♡

By far the best chicken/falafel platter I've eaten in my 42 years. He provides non-dairy, generous portions, more than fairly priced items and a clean environment. Polite, curious and puts his heart into his food..

One of the best places for middle eastern food in New West. The owner is from Iraq and knows what's up. Generous and friendly. I look forward to treating myself here from time to time. The Baklava is excellent too.

1st time here and have tried all the other donair shops in New Westminster. Very clean and polite. Got the chicken platter and it was portioned properly. When he added the sauce he did it with care, not just dumping a bunch of sauce from a spoon in a glob. Chicken was good too, not dried out from being on the skewer too long. Eco friendly microwavable containers that lock shut with a button not a stupid tab that just pops open. Defintly the best donair shop in town as far as I am concerned and will definitly go back. One other note, a customer asked for the bathroom key when he was making our food and he didn't grab it and hand it to them...he paused pointed and didn't touch it...which is a good sign that everyone is conscience of cleanliness. Just go there it's great.

Good stuff! Falafel was fried to order and veg and rice were flavourful.A few tables to eat in and the environment looked pretty clean.

AMAZING garlic dip and tahini sauce to go with your typical shawarma fare. My new go to.

Reminds me of various places in Scarborough that are smaller, hole-in-the-wall types. Definitely recommend getting for that shawarma fix.
