This place does not disappoint. I've been here on several occasions for some yummy donairs for dinner. Probably not the healthiest thing (compared to making food at home), but I like it. And I like to think it's healthy. It has all those veggies on…More »

Yummy Chicken Shawarma's! Very tasty. Can't say much more that hasn't been said already.

The only thing is that I would add less, or no pickles next time. And maybe it would be better if it were grilled like Donair King?? But meh, I really liked it…More »

I got a chicken shawarma platter and it was quite tasty! They put enough sauce and even more when I asked for it. Everything was hot. One plate is enough for 2 lunches, really. It's a pretty good deal: $6.50 for a huge lunch! The only complaint I…More »

I would like to give this place 3.5 stars but I can't, so I will give it three.

This place would have been A-OK, but I was really disappointed that my donair wrap fell apart and made a huge mess all over my hands. I didn't even have a plate or fork to rest it on. The flavours were all right. I've had better ones downtown, but…More »

Grabbed a chicken donair on my way to Seattle since I was starving and skipped lunch. It was okay. I did ask for extra sauce which made the whole thing messy. Overall though, it wasn't the best I ever had. I would say that Donair King or Babylon…More »

A good chicken donair. It filled me up. It was a bit expensive than other places downtown ($7+). Quiet spot for a quiet weekday lunch.
