Middle Eastern Restaurants near New Westminster, BC

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Attention Donaire and shawarma lovers!

***I love that they crisp up the meat on the flat top grill just before serving it to the customer. The additional texture adds a better mouth feel to the experience. This step is indeed a very nice touch that most places wouldn't bother with***

The portions are a decent size here.

The spanikopta had a generous amount of cheese inside the flaky crust.

The samosas were also a larger size (compared to alot of other similar establishments) They're medium spicy, so I ordered tzatziki as a dip to cool down the spice level. It was lovely.

I didn't get the most attentive server.
But as I've eaten here only once, I'll have to return to get a better scope of customer service.

I'd recommend this spot if you're in the area.“

“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!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.💙“

“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.“

“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.“

“100/100“

“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.“

“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.“

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

““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!”“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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'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.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“
