    Chicken plate  Instagram: @hungrytamale

    Chicken rice bowl 8.87/10- this was so delicious, they packed on the amount of fresh chicken they put this bowl on top of rice. We got the donair sauce as well as the tahini sauce (you get to choose 2 out of a few sauces). They had a red pepper sauce that also sounded quite good. They served it with fresh pita bread as well as tabouli salad with olives. The salad was dressed very well I believe in olive oil. The portion size is also huge! Lamb pita wrap 7.32/10- they put a lot of lamb in this gigantic wrap which was nice. The lamb was well seasoned and very fresh. I felt that the wrap was a bit dry even though we added sauces to it and with the ingredients put in it, but it was still good and very filling. They let you choose the toppings for what you want inside the wrap, you can choose from: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cucumbers, pineapples, banana peppers, pickles, pickled turnips, red cabbage, and tabouli. You also have the option of choosing sauce/spread. French fries 8.78/10- these were incredibly seasoned and so crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Incredibly tasty! Donair dude is a great option if you're looking for a healthy and fresh Mediterranean restaurant. They give a lot of protein and their portions are also huge. They're also on DoorDash and Uber eats which is really convenient. We ordered this in during a snowstorm and it came quite fast

    Been coming for the lunch special: $12 for donair and a drink. With cheese $2+, tax and tip, it's around $15+. Pros: - super friendly inviting welcome by staff - can ask them to cut it in half and they wrap the halves separately in wax bags - quick and delicious (added three new sauces) Notes: - on the pricier side, competitors in the area is $9-$12 - don't be afraid to ask for extra scoop of an ingredient while they're putting the donair together, they're rlly nice about it - I like to park in the inside streets for 2hr free residential parking behind davie on the east side

    It's being quite a while since I've had the pleasure of enjoying this "fast food". I really like all the different options that are included - sauces, vegetables and spreads - it really allows you to truly customize your food. The staff are very sweet and don't make you feel rushed. I don't have a picture of it because after my first bite I didn't stop. Solid sanck, I'll be back!

    I was shopping around this area and came upon this little donair place. It's small, but they offer a variety of grilled pita donairs, donair boxes, grilled tortilla donairs, and donair rice plates. It's so mouth watering to see the chicken, beef, and lamb rotate on the rotisserie. The place also carry a few side dishes like hummus, tabouli salad, falafel balls and baklava. The prices are reasonable. If I wanted something quick and I'm craving a donair, this is a nice place to go. I was able to get a beef donair box and customize the topping and sauce on it!

    The original location. Still the best of the lot. I've had mixed experiences with donair dude. Its all in the person making it. I think they need higher standards for training. Some people pile on the spreads, vegetables, and sauces liberally, and some are shy with it. Obviously, the spreads and the sauces are critical to its flavour. So, make like Oliver Twist, and ASK FOR MORE! Otherwise, you may get a sub-par donair. I get mine like this: - chicken donair (you can do half/half chicken/lamb, etc) - No cheese - garlic and red pepper paste - All the vegetables except pickles - Extra jalapeños and pineapple - tabouleh - Sweet sauce, and hot sauce - Grilled extra-long Give that a try!

    Something ( can't remember name) in a box. A full meal!

    We were hungry for a late meal and wandered along Davie. The tantalizing aroma of grilled meat brought us here to Donair Dude. Figured it's worth a try as they were still serving and people still coming and going. I can see they probably mostly do take out. The concept is not unlike a Subway Sandwich shop where you can direct them how to build your pita or whatever by choosing the fillings and sauces to include. The meat is on the rotisserie spit and grilling, but slices are already in bins for building orders. Our food was prepared quickly and we sat at the window so we wouldn't have to wait. It was a lot of food! I managed mine but he couldn't handle it all. The atmosphere is casual and almost divey which is appropriate for the location. Don't trip over the street residents who tend to gather along here. They are generally harmless. For a quick late night bite they were just what we needed.

    Halifax donair? With hot sauce, beef, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, feta, and sweet sauce.

We went fairly late and found out that their last call was at 8:30 PM--something to keep in mind if you're planning a visit. Overall, I enjoyed the food profile, though the service could definitely be improved. It was challenging to get the server's attention, and some cutlery was missing until we asked for it. My friend and I shared the Mezza Sampler - Hot ($32), which included 2 falafel, 2 kibbeh, cauliflower, and halloumi fries. Each dish was quite good, but the highlight for me was definitely the fried cauliflower. It was served with tahini, tzatziki, and pita bread. I'd recommend this more for sharing, as it can get a bit greasy. Our other friends ordered the Lentil Soup (small - $5), served with bread crisps, and the Batata Narra ($10), which are potatoes in a tomato chilli sauce. They said both dishes were good, though the Batata Narra wasn't spicy at all.

My wife and I came here for our anniversary dinner and we were delighted. We ordered the Chefs Special Sampler for 2 - basically giving us a sampler of everything on the menu for $90 per person. We were really really full and couldn't finish it all. Highlights: - Chickpea Fetteh: warm delightful mixture of ground meat, chickpea sauce, with soaked pita at the bottom and crispy stuff in it. It just explodes with flavour and texture. - dip sampler: the hummus and eggplant mutabbah were really good but that pocket pita bread was out of this world good. Even the tabbouleh was good and my wife normally hates that. - the lamb tartare was AMAZING. It was kneaded so soft that it was practically a paste. When you combine it with the nuts and red spicy sauce and eat it with bread the combo is winning. - grilled Kibbeh and regular kibbeh - both really delightful - the grilled meat plate was great. In particular the chicken with the garlic tahini was really flavourful. The kabob mushrooms and peppers on top of smoked baba ganoush was soo good. Loved the smoke flavour.

But I'm sure glad we did. The flavors here are at a complexity level above any Lebanese food that I've had elsewhere. Even the common dishes, such as hummus, baba ghanoush, and tabbouleh, all contain ingredients and spices that make them stand out and add a terrific level of complexity. For example, the tabbouleh includes not just interesting seasonings but also pomegranate seeds. It was not the only dish that was served with the addition of pomegranate. There was also a delightfully spicy sauce that seemed to be comprised of both pomegranate and harissa. The chef's tasting menu is a terrific way to sample most of the dishes on the menu. Our favorites turned out to be most of the cold course dishes that were served in the first of three rounds. This included: - Hummus - Baba ghanoush - Tabbouleh - A spice tray with a selection of olives As you would expect from a high-end Lebanese restaurant, the pitas are perfectly puffed and delicate. The hot dishes included lamb and chicken and were served on the traditional garlic sauce. The tasting menu concluded with an assortment of bite-sized pieces of baklava. If there was one shortcoming, it was the wine list. The white wines seemed to be of a singular note, although they were offered from four different countries. Unfortunately, they were out of the French Chardonnay, so I might be inclined to bring my own bottle the next time, assuming they have a corkage fee.

All of us at the table couldn't have more than a bite of it. The meat was undercooked, and the taste of the lamb was too strong and off. Definitely didn't taste like the kafta we know.

I shared the haneeth and saltah with a friend as well as got the kunafa and bint al sahen for dessert. The lamb was very tender and fell off the bone and the saltah came in a bubbling pot. I think the presentation of each dish was beautiful and was representative of its quality. My favourite dish was definitely the haneeth; it had a good combination of meat, rice, and vegetables. My reason for the missing star would be price point (total came around to $55 per person) as well as flavour as I'm used to having very flavorful dishes from other cuisines. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who hasn't tried Yemeni food before though!

It's in an industrial park, and the place has a tiny pastry area in the bottom and an upper dining room.

Service was one person and two cooks, so it's not immediate, but it's all made fresh and you can taste it. My Russian friend advised me on what to get, so we went with Khinkali and Khachapuri (sans meat). We also got what is on the menu as "jingle bread" and a beef kabob wrap. I had to get some kvass and pickles, too. I would get the dumplings, wrap, and kvass again in a second. Not that everything wasn't delicious, but my stomach is only so big and I need to try everything else on the menu. Khinkali is effectively a gigantic soup dumpling (HIGHLY recommend, but don't eat the stem!), and the meat in the beef kabob was similarly spiced. I fell in love with the lavash bread - it wasn't like anything I'd ever had. It was light, flaky, and I didn't feel overloaded with bread eating it like I do with most wraps. Kvass is slightly alcoholic, and it's technically a cereal based fermented drink, so it tastes a carby. It's a bit far for me to go with any regularity, but if I'm up around the airport, I will definitely keep it on my list of places to recommend and re-visit.
