Middle Eastern Restaurants near New Westminster, BC

“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!“

“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.“

“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’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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!!“

“We had a wonderful experience! The sweet items were absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented.

What truly made the experience special was the exceptionally friendly and attentive service. Kudos to Johar and his other colleague!

Definitely a place we would be happy to visit again for all the tasty sweets! Highly recommended for both the food and the wonderful hospitality!“

“This Donair place is the best Donair I have ever had! Great service, AMAZING FOOD! the lady and her daughter who works there are so nice and sweet. The amount of meat she puts into the Donair is crazy! It’s so packed and full of deliciousness! You can make 2 meals out of 1 Donair! We are from Saskatchewan and come to Vancouver to visit family every year and we make it a point to stop by and grab a Donair! Love, love this place! Would totally recommend. Everyone should stop by for wonderful food and atmosphere! The Lamb is my and my husband fav and The beef is my kids fav!“

“The nicest owned local restaurant. Very caring and kind owners. The food is delicious and the amount is very generous. This is our second time taking out the food and we love it! The best part is that they take your order and then grill the meat, so it's very fresh and juicy.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

““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!”“

“This is my other go to donair place in Surrey that is packed & full of flavour. Chicken and lamb donair is my top 2!
The staff are always so pleasant to us, thanks Lovely and Pawan!
I recently tried their Dubai chocolate baklava and you HAVE to try it. Think of a beuno bare creaminess but 10x yummier.“

“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.“

“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!“

“100/100“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The food was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The portions were great, and everything tasted well made. On top of that, the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d visit again.“

“Yum!

I really like the rice platter at Donair Affair. Their sauces are so good in combination with that 'thin' style rice. I love making my own Donair wrap at home with the half pita they provide with the rice platter.

Chicken is seasoned well! The only thing they need to improve on is putting more chicken for extra chicken. I feel like paying for extra chicken didn't give me that much more chicken.

Overall though, the rice platters here are really good. I prefer the rice platters here over the ones across the street at A1 Coffee and Donair. Don't get me wrong, I think A1 Coffee Donair has better wraps but Donair Affair has better rice platters. Either way, you can't go wrong with both places!“

“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!“

“Consistency is everything at this location. I have been visiting for the last 8 years plus years and have never been disappointed. Ali and his staff have always been kind and top notch with customer service and take pride in serving fresh and amazing food. My personal favorite is the beef and mushroom Donair, no one else does it like them. Highly recommend this gem of a donair shop.“

“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!“
