This place is a staple with my family. My husband and I are willing to drive over 40 km and brave Toronto traffic JUST to eat this Donair. Their mixed dinner plate is all we get. The rice/veal/chicken/hotsauce/garlic/salad combination is perfect. My husband has been eating here for years. Our friends and our friends friends love it. Especially when the dad is serving (usually later in evening) for some odd reason the way he puts the plate together with his wife just tastes a million times better.
And please this is NOT shawerma- this is donair!!!! I swear the donair in Turkey is not this deadly! -

nothing too special about this place though their chicken sause is pretty good.
Their prices recently went up so keep that in mind for everyone who goes there every once in a while.
Service is fast and friendly but there is just nothing to give this place a kick up to the next level. -

This is my favorite shwarma place in the city. I love the Garlic Sauce and the salad.
Prices are a little higher than most other Shwarma places, but I never come away feeling hungry when I get the chicken dinner. -

I am absolutely in love with this place! I am so in love that I refuse to go anywhere else in Toronto for shwarma. The people who work there truly want to make sure that you get your money's worth and that you have a great meal because the food taste great and the portion size is huge! Every time that I go to get a meal here, I barely am able to finish my meal. I had been craving shwarma for the past month, and you could say that my craving had been satisfied. I ordered a mix meat (chicken and veal) rice plate, which comes with a potato. You can also order it with either just chicken or just veal. For a grand total of $7.50, it was definately worth it. The only downside was that the veal was a bit on the dry side, but the garlic sauce (no hot sauce for me) made up for the lack of moisture.

My go to take-out spot for dinner when my fridge is empty and I don't feel like cooking or spending a lot on dinner.
The super friendly service at this family owned place more than makes up for the fresh and decent tasty sandwiches. Their falafel is not too oily and the hot sauce is yum.
Best dinner would be sandwiches fro Donair Kebob house and humus from Paramount down the street. -

I had high hopes for Donair after reading all the great reviews on it so my coworker and I headed there for lunch today.
We were served right away, I got the chicken shwarma sandwich and my coworker got the veal plate (with rice, potato, etc). The seating area at the back is a little awkward and for people who want to get away from the office for a bit, I'm sure if it were really busy, it'd be an odd place to sit. But the staff was pretty nice, very efficient as well.
My sandwich was pretty good - all the raving about the sauces was true. The hot sauce isn't overly hot but it adds great flavor, and the other sauces are pretty good too. Wasn't all that happy that by the halfway point, all the sauce had started to leak out the bottom but, tis life. The chicken itself was good, but not as flavorful as I had hoped and the wrap itself wasn't that fresh.
Overall, I was underwhelmed. I've had better shwarma in this area and in the core of downtown. I would be more likely to eat at one of those other places than here. And as others have noted, the outside of this place is a deterrent, so it took me a few weeks to actually GO and try this place. -

Let's face it, this place looks like a total dump from the outside....so it took me ages to actually try it out. On the recommendation from a friend, I finally popped in today.
I had a chicken kebab which was great. A little too saucy, in my opinion. Attempt to eat with caution. I think next time I might try the veal, or a plate instead. That looked even better. In a sea of mediocre shawarma and kebab places in the area, this one is a real stand out. -

you can feel that it's a family owned restaurant the moment you step in this donair. warm smiles and friendly greetings that's what awaits you from the very first moment.
oh and the food is good too. and so I was told that their garlic sous is the in-house special so go for it. it's good.
hot sauce is actually hot so go for it too!=)
the falafel I got was yummy and the prices are cheap so when hungry and on the run will consider stopping here. -

This is a family owned restaurant, very kind people. The restaurant appearance may turn one away but their great food is the reason why they are open in such a busy area.
Yesterday I had their shawarma sandwich which was mix of chicken and beef and it was unbelievable. The Pita is fresh and heated perfectly, the vegetable toppings are very fresh which complements the sandwich. The hot and garlic sauces definitely make a great difference. The meat is cooked very well and is tender, unlike other shawarma restaurants where your meat may be stale , overcooked, or chewy. The sandwich is the perfect shawarma sandwich. I've been to many restaurants that offer shawarma on their menu but they don't compete.
I also tried the salad and their rice on the side, their sides definitely complement their sandwiches or shawarma dinners.
You'll pay a decent 5-7 dollars but it's worth it and I've been back to eat their numerous times since I discovered this place a couple years ago and I highly recommend anyone to give this place a visit and to try their shawarma on a pita. -

Tried this place out today for lunch. Had their chicken and lamb Donair wrap. I was quite impressed and the quality was definitely there - especially for the price I paid. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get some decent Donair downtown.

Doner Kebab House is hearty, hungry heman stuff for students and workers alike downtown.
Get the mixed plate here and you'll leave feeling satiated and thankful you have a tummy of steel to absorb all the flavours and textures.
Juicy, crispy shavings of chicken and beef top a bed of rice, greek style potatoes, raw onions and a pedestrian salad but what really sends this thing into overdrive are the homemade sauces-creamy, sweet white sauce to the sea of fiery red hot sauce that owner is justifiably proud of. My colleagues and I like to joke that he snaps when you ask for extra hot sauce on the side-a donair nazi if you will. -

This place was my staple place to get dinner when I was at Ryerson. The day I first discovered it, I had Lunch, then went back to get take out to bring it home for dinner!
I think what gets me is their sauce. yumm. I haven't anything that matches to this place. My favourite is the veal on rice. -

I like the veal (don't think they have regular beef). the sauces are excellent and make the place. both the white sauce and the red sauce they use (got to get them both!). you can't go wrong with the sandwich but i recommend going for the plate. dash a little extra table hot sauce and your good to go! Great service too. It's a nice family run place.
Depending on how late you go they may not have chicken & veal (i think they stay open until they run out), but its all good :) -
Review from Chris P.
This is a great kebab place. The guy working was fast and friendly. My kebab came well wrapped so it didn't explode in my hands as I walked up Yonge. The restaurant was clean and has a good selection of drinks and menu options.

I was introduced to this place during my time at Ryerson. I must say, this place opened up my taste buds to Shawarma and since then I have yet to find a place that is better!
The sauces are AMAZING. The sauce is so good they wont even sell it seperately lol I've asked before they said no, but were awesome enough to give me a bit for free to take home.
