“This Afghani restaurant has honestly become one of my favorite places to eat. My friend and I come here quite often, and every single time the food tastes just as amazing as the first visit. The flavors are so rich and authentic—it truly feels like homemade South Asian cuisine.

From the perfectly cooked rice to the tender, flavorful meat and fresh naan, everything tastes like it’s made with care and tradition. You can really feel that home-style touch in every bite. It reminds me of the kind of food you’d enjoy with family.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are always kind and respectful. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Afghani food that feels like home, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“My wife tried Mr. Shawarma on Robson last night and after she offered me a bite I had to go back and order one for myself - so good! As well, the personal touch and friendly vibe of the chef and team made my whole trip downtown feel worth it. I will build a trip to Mr. Shawarma into my downtown trips from now on!“

“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.“

“The food was amazing and excellent value for money. Also the options were a little different from what you usually get. The fried eggplant is out of this world good! Great service too.“

“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!“

“Homa restaurant has healthy and delicious food and its employees are kind, active and compassionate with new management. Thank you.“

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

“Great Taste 👍 👌 highly recommended“

“I was going to leave 5 stars because campus doesn’t have the best shawarma spots and this is *relatively* good so far, but I had a few suggestions I hope this place can implement to be improve:

The first time I ordered shawarma on fries, it was extremely good. Fresh and hot, plus tasted great. The second time, the chicken was unfortunately stale and not even warm, and the fries seemed like they’d been thrown in the fryer multiple times.

Both times, my food container was covered in grease and/or sauce that made my hands dirty on the go. Not the biggest deal, but I hope staff can be mindful about this as it changes the experience.

I hope they continue serving fresh and hot food rather than leftovers or stale food.“

“This food, so fresh and delicious! I have never had Lebanese food before and was absolutely delighted at what I ate. My mouth and tummy are so happy! I have been visiting Vancouver for 6 nights now, and this is the freshest, most flavorful and beautiful food I have had. The service was absolutely lovely as well. Must eat here!“

“I had a great experience at Donair Delight! The food was absolutely delicious and really high-quality — super fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The place is small but very cozy, and it has a nice, comfortable vibe. Definitely recommend it! 🌯✨“

“Picked up staff lunch today...generous portions! Delicious and fresh! Highly recommend this Granville Street eatery!“

“We ordered Best Falafel through Skip the Dishes and in addition to our order (which was delicious), they gave us a scarf to help protect us in times of COVID19. Such a sweet sentiment and a way to show support to those supporting you - thank you Best Falafel ♥️“

“Love the flavour highly recommended“

“I visited this restaurant recently and had a great experience. The food was delicious and well presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and we didn't have to wait long for our order. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, making it a nice place to enjoy a meal. Prices were reasonable for the quality. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would be happy to come back again.“

“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.“

“Best shawarma and falafel on the westside!“

“Don’t go to the other chains! This guy really cares and serves up the tastiest, most fresh, and highest quality donair. Make this the end of your night. Sooooo yummy!!!
Update: Don’t get the baklava. It was stale. Everything else good though!“

“I’m always happy with the customer service at Donair Affair, especially from Jas. She is consistently happy, polite, and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable.
I’ve visited many times and I’m now a regular customer. The chicken is so crave-worthy, always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.
Highly recommend this location for great service and tasty food!“

“first time. tasty. A little messy. but it was worth it.“

“Always fresh, always delicious! Good selection of drinks. Nice & clean. Fast service. Thumbs up all around! My fav joint for many years now.“

“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.“

“I particularly enjoy their style of cuisine, especially the chicken skewers served with rice. The quality of the food is consistently excellent, and the portion sizes are often generous. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant to enjoy a satisfying and well-prepared meal.“

“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.“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“Was in the area, did not want tp eat garbage mcdonalds and I always drove by this kabab donair place. Thought i give it a try today, lots of flavour , had the beef and lamb mix. Very nice owners . Family run business . Best of luck to them and thank you for the drink . Very kind“

“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.“

“Such great food! The servers are second to none and the live entertainment on Saturday was amazing! 10/10 would do it again!“

“I've been to many Pakistani restaurants but Karakoram Restaurant stands out for its authentic flavors and generous portions. The karahi was spicy and savory, and the basmati rice was fluffy and fragrant. The staff were friendly and attentive and the prices were very reasonable. I'll be back for more of their delicious dishes!“

“Afghan Horseman never disappoints… my husband and I have been coming here for over 30 years and now it has become a favourite of our kids also. The food…delicious, the atmosphere… unique & cozy, the service… we are always treated like family and we were honoured to be included in their 50th Anniversary celebration this year. Tonight we enjoyed another fabulous dinner experience and we got to share it with our friend from Germany who loved it. Thank you to all our friends at Afghan, we look forward to dining with you in 2025!“

“As usual, I ordered the shawarma platter and the quality is on par with most other establishments in the area. (Although the chicken used to be better when they prepared it on the spit. Now it's done in a convection oven)
I particularly like the whipped garlic sauce they offer. Which I don't see this in many other middle eastern restaurants. The hummus is also light and fluffy.
The Saj wrap was a nice change from traditional pita bread wrap.
I would and will eat here again when I am in the neighborhood“

“Best food in town“

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

“Among all the halal restaurants in Vancouver , in my opinion,Saba Food is the best. 5 ⭐️“

“The warmest, kindest, people you will ever meet! The nice DJ played request songs we could dance to, the bison was amazing(!), the place was clean, drinks were tasty, and Veronica even made me a Birthday card, with complimentary cake and candle! Thanks to ALL for a fun time! :-))“

“I went there few days ago , was first time trying donair at this place. Young lady farah was super friendly and helpful. She helped me a lot I appreciate her patience and kindness. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants a perfect meal for the day.“

“Amazing traditional middle eastern products. Hummus, baba ganoush, tzaziki, ... All delicious. Have only tried a hand full of their products and looking forward to try some more. That homemade almond butter is in my list!Staff is super friendly, super helpful with recommendations and let you have a little taste of things to make the decision making process easier.If you are in the area and fancy to buy some delicious products, look no longer!“

“Really good Indian food — everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Portions were great too. Our boss from The Cycle City up the street bought lunch for the whole team, and everyone enjoyed it. Good vibes, friendly service, and solid food. Thanks for the good lunch, Josh and Indian Abroad! Definitely recommend 👍“

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

“The Missus and I grabbed a chicken shawarma each at Basha for a quick mall food dinner. We thought the chicken could have been more flavourful but was happy with the price to quantity ratio. There was a large eating area and Basha was located relatively close to the mall entrance for easy access.“

“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!“

“The food was excellent, and I'm not sure why the ratings are low. It might be because it's not as suitable for dining in, but it's great for takeout. The promotions and variety of options are great. The portions are large, balanced, and flavorful. There are also plenty of vegetarian options available. I strongly recommend this place, especially if you're a fan of kebabs and donairs like we are!“

“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!“
