Middle Eastern Restaurants near New Westminster, BC

“We loved this spot. The large chicken shawarma plate and side order of falafel easily fed both my husband and I.

Plus, they fry their falafel fresh to order - ours were still steaming hot when we arrived home to eat. Wonderful service, quick turn around time to receive the meal, and delicious food!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“I don’t normally leave reviews for fast food spots since my experiences are usually quick and easy, but I left this location today (Sept 8, around 4:45pm) feeling a bit disappointed.

While ordering, the staff member preparing my food added pickles, which I hadn’t asked for. When I mentioned it, he thought I had requested them. I really dislike pickles and always make sure to leave them out, and since they were chopped and wrapped inside, it wasn’t something I could just remove.

What stood out most to me was the interaction. In my own work in restaurants, I’ve found it goes a long way to simply apologize and make the correction, rather than debating with the guest (he seemed really annoyed with me). The food was remade, which I appreciated, but the exchange left me feeling uncomfortable and not as positive about the experience overall.

As a suggestion, it might help to double-check with customers before finalizing toppings and perhaps adjust the tipping option so it appears after service is provided. I think those changes would really improve the guest experience.“

“Delicious! fire grilled, Very flavorful !“

“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.“

“Loved it! I had to get a second chicken wrap it was so delicious. Everything was fresh - the meat, the veggies, sauces and good quality too.
The portion was good also (I just eat a lot). Nice family owned restaurant. Will definitely come back“

“I almost walked past but the delightful smell brought me in. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. I was especially happy to order the chicken platter which was a good combination of flavor and spice. I will definitely come back“

“I could and probably will eat here everyday. I cannot say enough about the customer service here, just AMAZING like their food!! (they put the most amazing fries INSIDE their donairs 🤤) Great price too!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“As a 2 times Cancer survivor with a sensitive digestive system and stomach, I'm eating here for almost two years and never got sick from the food or bloated or any inflammatory experience. It's proof that they care about food safety. Thanks and please keep it up. The only place to go in annacis Island.💙“

“Dear Sheila,

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service you provided during my recent visit to Donair Affair. During my lunch break from court, your thoughtful gesture of offering an apron as a bib not only protected my attire but also brought a smile to my face. Your warmth and energy transformed a routine meal into a memorable experience.

Regardless of the outcomes I face professionally, I will always cherish the kindness and attentiveness you demonstrated. Employees like you make a significant difference in customer satisfaction, and your actions have left a lasting impression on me.

Thank you once again for your outstanding service.

Warm regards,
Susan M.“

“I highly recommend this place. We had unexpected gathering of many people and needed food urgently. Day to Day restaurant accepted our order without any prior notice and made everything fresh in a very short time. The order was ready on time very hot, fresh and packed nicely. We definitely will come to this place again.“

“The customer service was incredibly good — super attentive and friendly. They really made me feel welcomed and taken care of. I also had their Dubai Chocolate dessert and it was a 10/10 — rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for both the service and the sweets!“

“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 one of the best dining experiences ever! We went with our friends and everyone truly enjoyed it! The family platter was huge and bursting with flavor the kebabs were perfection and the chicken tawouk was out of this world. Every side, from the mutabal to the tabouleh, was fresh and delicious, and even the fries and rice were served in generous family-sized portions. On top of that, they serve fresh bread straight from the traditional oven, warm and fluffy, which made the meal even more special. The service was outstanding, the restaurant spotless, and the music created the perfect vibe to enjoy the food. This place is an absolute must-visit highly recommend to anyone who loves amazing food and a great atmosphere!“

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

“Food quality at this location is good & consistent. Serving portions are quite hefty. Good value for your dollar. I usually get the Hawaiian beef donair but today I had chicken rice platter. Very tasty.

& also a 1 minute walk from skytrain.“

““We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was authentic, delicious, and full of real Syrian flavors. You could taste the love and care in every bite. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all our friends. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!”“

“They don’t have their new King George Hub location on google but they did their grand opening not too long ago. We finally ordered from here and the chicken donair platter was excellent and all the ingredients were very fresh. The baklava was perfectly sweet and crispy. Great food and very clean shop.“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Donair Affair recently, and I must say, the experience was fantastic, all thanks to amazing server, Harman. From the moment we walked in, Harman greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. The service was quick, efficient, and delivered with a genuine friendliness that made the entire experience so much more enjoyable.“

“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!“

“I went on saturday with my friends, it was a nice experience, They had a singer and belly dancer, it was a bit loud for me, but a lot of people were enjoying their time. The food was good portion-wise; some were really good, some were ok. great staff very helpful and attentive.“

“I've been coming to this location for 3 years. Our family always gets the rice platters, different meats. They've only ever got our order wrong once, and even then, it was minor. The girls that work here are kind and they work as quick as they can. For what we order, the quality of the food is excellent. I will say that I don't think I would ever bother to eat-in at the location because it's small, noisy, and there are a lot of people coming in and out constantly.“

“Ordered the Caribbean Beef Donair and it is amazing. So much flavour, great quality ingredients, huge portion, reasonably priced. Highly recommend. I am definitely ordering again.“

“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!!!!“

“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!“
