“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.“

“Absolutely 10/10. Leisurely no rush dining , superb service ( the test : never realized my water glass was being filled ) . We ordered the Hydra favourite of lightly fried zucchini and eggplant , shared the sea bream family platter grilled ( the potatoes are incredible ). Sea bream beautifully filleted at the table . We finished with the olive oil chocolate cake - decadent . The cocktails are inventive . An overall incredible dining experience .“

“We ordered food several times for our office meeting lunches (up to 40 orders) and every time the food quality and quantity was amazing and exceeded our expectations.

“We were seated right away. The menu was extensive, and I chose the Koobideh. We also ordered the lamb ribs. Within 15 minutes the food arrived, cooked to perfection.
The meat was tasty and succulent. The rice was not overcooked - just right.
A quick, enjoyable meal.“

“It’s always awesome to have great and fresh food with amazing varieties of items of both vegetarian and non vegetarian that are sure to please everyone’s taste buds and one such place is there within easy reach and reasonable pricing. This is the place which has been in operation for several years now helping many office workers in the tower and many people in and around the area. The portions come with choice of meats and two vegetable items totally complimentary! For the carb, they serve hot rice with a surprising addition of a fried papad at no charge. This has been my ‘go to’ place for my lunch everyday for many years so long I was working in the tower office and now having retired visit this place without fail whenever I happened to visit downtown Vancouver. Great quality with no change in taste and flavour for years. Checkout their special item of the day, that is on every weekday Recommended highly!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable items - brussels, cabbage, chickpea curry, kidney beans curry, sautéed masala potatoes“

“Bought 2 wraps, beef was pretty good. Chicken was pretty much all lettuce, definitely needed more chicken, did not much. To much lettuce and not enough anything else. I see in the reviews this has been an issue before. Pita was really good tho.“

“PERFECTION Fall off the Bone Lamb Shank $23!! WHAT? Is it 1999?

PATIO IS AMAZING SOUTH FACING SUN EXPOSURE with some pretty cute chicks (not included in photo)

Patio was so great I included a BEER with Lunch

Highly impressed with this FAST FOOD delivery time (I was fed and watered within 5 minutes) and sitting in the sun on yhe patio while my RIG parked across the street with FREE 1 HOUR PARKING

Barber Shop and 99 Tattooing next door let's find out

PS just did my Laundery 1/2 block away at Oak bay Laundry“

“Great food😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊“

“I absolutely love this place, the guy who runs it is super sweet and he makes the food super quick. I was a regular here for a while and he memorized my order which made me feel special. The prices are all super reasonable and you can get a full balanced meal that tastes good for less then 20 bucks. This is the only donair shop I ever spend money in.“

“Visiting from out of thw country and we decided to eat here. It was pretty good, new to us. We tried the araq chicken wrap with garlic sauce 😋. Food was fresh and delicious. We also had the chicken shawarma pizza. Wow two good new food items.“

“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!“

“Fresh, authentic manaqeesh; friendly service.“

“My mom and I stopped by for lunch while walking Granville strip. Super awesome food, giant portions, great ladies working there! Will be back for sure!“

“Great food and AMAZING service by young man working evening (9pm) of July 17/2025!!! Helped me to get exactly what I was craving - checked with me to see if I wanted a bit more of this or that just to flavor it perfectly - wonderful attention to detail that I didn't even think to request customization on!! I've come before, this topped a previous great experience, it keeps impressing!!!!!“

“Vincenzo was wonderful! His knowledge of food and wine was superb. He was the consummate host and made us feel right at home. He was very attentive without being overbearing and was very personable. Although we were there for the Dine Out experience, their regular menu was equally as enticing. The appetizers and entrees hit the spot and went well with the wine that we ordered. It certainly seemed to be a neighbourhood gem as we watched the tables fill and know that their deck will be packed once summer comes. Thanks again for your hospitality!“

“A huge thank you to Avi and Kunal for their outstanding service!
Their communication was clear, polite, and always on time. The food was delivered fresh, well-packed, and tasted amazing. They truly care about customer satisfaction and go above and beyond. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for better food service and great overall experience.“

“We had a marvelous night here! We discovered this restaurant by accident while walking down the street. Even though it was very crowded, they were kind enough to accept us without a reservation. The food was delicious, though a bit too spicy for my taste. A beautiful girl performed an Arabic dance with a sword, and it was both professional and impressive. I will definitely be back! You should try it.“

“Afghani Kabul Kebab Donair Ltd is truly a hidden gem! Their donairs taste like real homemade Afghan cooking — fresh, juicy, and full of authentic flavor. The meat is tender, the bread is warm, and the sauces are absolutely perfect. The service is incredibly kind and welcoming; you feel like you’re a guest in their home.
Five stars honestly isn’t enough If you want the best donair experience, this place is the one!“

“While taking a break from strumming, I had the opportunity to try these Mediterranean delicacies on Commercial Drive. They quickly drew my attention and I must confess they are truly delightful.“

“This Donair Dude location has become one of my go-to spots for a quick, satisfying meal. One thing that really stands out is how clean the store is. Every time I visit, the counters, tables, and even the sauce station are spotless. I’ve also never seen a single fly or fruit gnat here — which is honestly rare for a place that deals with fresh ingredients and open toppings. Major bonus points for hygiene!

The portions are generous, especially the chicken. I always order the chicken wrap or plate, and they never skimp on the meat. It’s always juicy, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. You definitely get good value for the price.

The service is also worth mentioning. There’s a young lady who often works at the front — she’s super friendly and always greets customers with a warm smile. She’s patient when I take forever choosing sauces, and she makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

It’s refreshing to see a fast food-style place that puts this much care into both food and service. Highly recommend if you’re looking for clean, tasty, and generous donairs with great vibes!“

“I'm a student at UBC and I usually order the penne pesto here, and it's actually really yummy! The pasta is consistently very creamy and savoury, the texture of the pasta is quite al dente, and the serving is rather generous and is able to sate my hunger. The food is also prepared at a really quick pace (like within 4-5 minutes), which is good because as a student, I can't really stick around in the same place for too long, so it's a really nice place to drop by when you have a 1 hour break between classes and need something good to eat.
I also tried the lamb shawarma which is also nice! But the penne pesto holds a special place in my heart and that's usually my go-to.“

“Maria’s Taverna had a great ambience and delicious food. I shared appetizers meat balls, spanakopita and taziki and hummus! So delicious I took a doggie bag home for my chicken souvlaki. Thanks I definitely recommend!“

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

“Awesome food and service. They have the best calamari that I have found. Well done!“

“😎 Been coming here since these folks took over, around 2010 or so. I do hope they are open again after their recent disaster.“

“atención rápida , excelente servicio de Laura la chica de Brasil, comida sabrosa y a buen precio.“

“We recently came here to celebrate my cousin’s 23rd birthday and had such an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant, welcoming, and full of energy, which immediately set the tone for a great night.

The food was beautifully presented and packed with flavour. The salmon and the rigatoni were definite highlights of the evening—both dishes were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious.

What really made the night unforgettable was the entertainment. It was lively, fun, and brought so much energy to the space, making the entire evening feel like a true celebration.

Although a small part of our order was missed, it ended up being perfectly fine because the portions were so generous that we were already completely stuffed. The evening was memorable and enjoyable, and we would happily return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun night out!“

“We had a good dining experiences!“

“We shared this dish and it was really tasty.“

“Yesterday was my second time at Chickpea, and I have to say they offer a wide variety of options for any time of the day.

On both visits, Laura was my server, and she has been a big part of why I’ve enjoyed this place so much. Her service was incredible, and I always feel very well taken care of every time I come here.

The restaurant’s decor is also beautiful and has very “Chickpea vibes.”

Thank you, Chickpea!“

“This place is an absolute gem. I went on a Thursday and got the curry fish on rice with potatoes/peas and kidney beans. You get two veg curries along with one meat option is how it works. You can get a half order or a full order. I got a full order. The fish is only available on Thursdays. I knew it was Salmon once I tasted it and the kind gentleman who took my order told me it's in fact wild pink salmon. Tasted amazing. The order also comes with a pappaddum. Nice touch. Priced very fair for what you get. Excellent salt and spice levels. It's like a home cooked meal. Will be back.“

“Delicious desserts, clean and pleasant atmosphere. Had the Bow-tie pastry. So yummy.“

“We have an amazing experience every time we go to Sfinaki. The roast lamb is unreal... tender, flavourful, and a must try. We also LOVE the Ekmek. Our fave dessert EVER! The service is always great, and the owners always make us feel welcome, which means a lot. Shyla served us again and her friendly and efficient service is always appreciated. The cocktails and drinks are solid too. One of our favourite restaurants.“

“Very authentic Italian food. Great service. Good pricing. Nice atmosphere.Very good weekend brunch with a nice Italian version of Eggs Benedict.“

“Beautiful restaurant. Food was outstanding...very good atmosphere. Our server was excellent, engaging and present , great experience. We will be back.“
