My wife and I visited King of Donair in Lacewood for the first time today. Great service (the lady servicing us took time to wash her hands after handling the till, which not all food servers do) and she was very pleasant and efficient. We thought the food was good and well priced! Highly recommended!! ?The one negative for us was that using our debit card led to us being prompted to pay a tip (which is normal), but then, surprise… King of Donair charges you a 40 cent merchant surcharge for spending your money there ! Sneaky and poor business toward your customers. It wasn’t much and we reluctantly paid it… but after reading that others feel equally duped by the secretive nature of the charge, management would be wise to absorb this fee.

It's been a while since I had a donair. It's been even longer since I had a king of donair and it was even longer still since the last time I had a king of donair and at at the restaurant. It was a rainy night and I had the place to myself. I ordered a regular donair and a Coke. Maybe I'm cheap but $12.89 set me back. I ordered it with little or no onion and I don't know how much was on it but it was the right amount. I had forgotten that the meat is so tasty and spicy that a bunch of chunky raw onions overshadow the other flavors.I took a stool at the bar table and looked out into the rainy parking lot. I peeled back the tin foil and ate it like an ice cream cone. The tomatoes were a little cold and so was the sauce. I'm sure people would argue, but I don't think the sauce should be eaten on its own. There's a certain magic that happens when it warms up and mixes with the oils and greases of the meat. I didn't wait long enough for this magic to fully materialize but I did experience it near the end of the donair. Next time I'll know to wait a little longer so that all the ingredients can fuse and bind together to create something that's more than the some of the parts.The donair tasted just the way it should and though it was reasonably packed. It would have been a nice surprise to find one or two pieces with some char or a crispy edge. As I savored the last bites, I couldn't help but reflect on how King of Donair has been a cornerstone for as long as I can remember.I'll be back again sooner than the last time and look forward to eating it like an ice cream cone on a stool facing the parking lot come rain or shine.

King of Donair is an absolute gem for those in search of top-notch pizza and an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you step in, the warmth and friendliness of the staff are palpable, setting the stage for a memorable meal. The highlight, without a doubt, is their pizza - a perfect symphony of flavors, with a crust that's just the right mix of crispy and chewy, generously topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients that sing in harmony with every bite.What sets King of Donair apart, even more, is the exceptional service, spearheaded by Jay. Jay's passion for customer satisfaction and his attention to detail ensure that every patron feels valued and well-cared for. His recommendations are spot-on, guiding you through an exquisite culinary journey that leaves you eager to return.In a world where genuine hospitality and culinary excellence are a rare find, King of Donair shines brightly as a beacon of both. Whether you're a pizza aficionado or just in search of a place that feels like home, King of Donair, with its delightful fare and the outstanding Jay, promises an experience that's not just satisfying but truly unparalleled.

I will say it's a little difficult to be objective with this review since I am an out of towner. I can understand this kind of donair is different from others. So just to pick on the food itself, I will start that the value is there. For a cheapish bite of East Coast donair, it's not bad. The quality of meat is okay, compared to other shawarma spots it is flavourful. If you're not from the East Coast be warned they use a sweet sauce not a garlic one. It is certainly not my preference and caught me off guard. Also got these garlic bites and the seasoning is delicious but the texture is almost eating stale but chewy bread. Overall, it is not what I suspected, maybe I can develop a palette over time, quality is good for the price point.

Got delivery.Garlic fingers were pretty good. The person threw in an extra sauce for free for it.Pizzas were greasy and not at all what I expected. In lacewood not great. Much prefer Pizzaland. Definitely not worth what we paid. Not going to order again.Very nice staff, fast delivery, service wise Very good.But food wise Very disappointing. Lack of toppings, salty and greasy. Definitely not what I remember KOD being back in the day. May just be this location but Definitely turned me off from their food.
