The chicken and beef are tasty and portions and great here would definitely come back! Family run and friendly. The hummus is great too

I'll try not to now waste your time - this place is really friendly, clean and serves really solid food with excellent portions for decent prices. I live in the neighborhood, and actual get take out there a few times a week. I do like me some donair meat, and every once in a while I go on a rampage lol. I usually get the beef platter, but I've been known to get the chicken, lamb or a combo. It's good food, what more can an honest donair fan ask for? I'll bet the majority of folks will really like it. Oh and the hummus is really good as well. Good food, very nice people, family run - it's nice to have a decent donair place in the neighborhood.

Wonderful Service from Wally, their employee from Pashtu, who served me & Brother-in-Law a delicious Chicken Feta Wrap with a fresh set of Tahini-Covered Falafel 😁

I highly recommend this Donair Spot & thank you again, Wally, for the hospitality & courtesy 🙏🏻

Super friendly staff, and even made fresh falafels for us. Generous portions, lots of sauce options I’d recommend mixing a couple together for maximum flavor! Delish! Will definitely stop by on the way back home

I had the pleasure of dining at [Restaurant Donair spot ] recently, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy design that made us feel right at home.

The service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. Our server was able to provide great recommendations based on our tastes, and it was clear that they were passionate about the food.

Speaking of the food—wow! Every dish was bursting with flavor and expertly presented. The [chicken wrap] was particularly outstanding, with perfectly balanced flavors that danced on was a close second, offering a rich and satisfying experience. The portions were generous, and every bite was worth savoring.

It was a really bad Donair. The guy who served was nice but the quality and taste of food was the worst. The chicken was oily and and apparently they charge you extra even for olives and pickles. Over priced, bad quality and zero taste!
I will never recommend this place.

Edit: WRT the owner’s response I found it to be pretty defensive. There is an ego at play here saying “if you don’t like don’t buy” is a pretty rhetorical point to make since already indicated I likely won’t be back the next time I’m craving the familiar taste of Donair. I also did not say the basmati rice was bad, I was simply just saying that it wasn’t what the palate was anticipating. An appropriate response would have been “thanks for your feedback, and we will take it into consideration as we continue to receive feedback on our service offerings” without the need to commit to anything since I’m just one customer and not the owner who gets to exercise their own prerogative. Some more growth and maturity is required on the part of the ownership.

The visit (original post):
Service was polite. Food was a bit disappointing. The rice used was basmati and it had the fragrance of indian food, which while nice was a departure from what this food should taste like. All platters are $17.95 and most other places charging this price would follow your container to the brim. I found the portions here quite stingyyz would also help to have feta on the salad and turnips available.

I enjoyed my food well enough. The sauce was also great (“as expected”) but something about it just felt really underwhelming for the money I am parting with. Probably won’t be back the next time I’m craving donair.

They also have violated the single use plastics ban that has been around for over a year (since December 2023), in terms of the cutlery. The take out containers are made from compostable corn starch, however, these were also banned starting July 2024. A quick chat with the BC OPI on this file confirmed that indeed these packagings and cutlery are no longer permitted in BC as of the dates stated. The owner’s response is that they are approved all over Canada. Apparently, owner you don’t understand that while federal laws supersede, more specific provincial laws can also apply if they carry more nuance. The federal statutes set a baseline. Ownership Needs a lesson in Canada’s constitutional fabric and history.

All violations can be reported any time to [email protected] with the name and address of the business and photos to substantiate the claim.
