This place is convenient. Place is clean with plenty of tables and seats. Parking is plenty as well in the front. I ordered a Beef Donair, regular size. They have a large one as well but this was pretty big. There's nothing special. Its on a seran wrap. The wrap keeps crumbling as I took bites. It's very uncomfortable to eat and messy. Pieces of beef keeps falling off. Looks like it's ground beef and not whole beef. Doesn't help the person helping can't speak English well somit's tough to ask questionen oh well! Place is ok I guess, if you don't have options. read more

Soo good!! the falafel platter with hot sauce and taziki is delicious. highly recommend. will be back!

We love shawarma.. but give this one a miss. You'll be looking for the taste that just isn't there. These guys need to visit Mediterranean Grill on Denman and then go back to the lab to figure it all out! read more

New owners but same low quality. I ordered 2 lamb wraps . I asked if i could get the lamb fresh cut. The lady insisted using the stuff that was sitting in a warming tray. I said that old stuff is usually dry and overdone.she said no its good. The lamb was dry and crappie . Never trust this place again it was a waste of money. A place that has no quality control is not worth my hard earned money. NEXT...I SAID NEEEXXT. read more

Their display boards looked good and we loveeeeee lamb so we wanted to give it a shot, although we don't really like food court eating! It was quite a poor decision but oh well, you never know until you've tried it. The meat was old - you could tell by the colour and the taste; it tasted awful and flavourless. I've never had lamb shank this bad. The lamb wrap was one of the worst I've ever had too! It was packed with a sodium and overly processed - yuck! The vegetables were OK though we know they mixed some leftovers together. I know good food and this place fails to serve good food. It is such a shame because places like these are supposed to be really good! Lesson learned: never trust a display board! It is exaggerated and can easily fool a person (I knew that, duh)! read more

Donair Spot Owner Ali (owns Vancouver and Richmond locations) said to me "You're Stupid and Go Fuck Yourself!" On Friday May 27 at 4:26pm I purchased a Chicken platter from Donair Spot at Lansdowne Centre in Richmond BC. When I got home I noticed that the chicken pieces were light and dark pink so I called the owner Ali simply out of concern and for some assurance on the meat colour and to see if he felt it's safe to consume. When I explained what I was seeing, Ali himself without me asking offered to replace my meal if I come the next day Saturday May 28. And in the meantime he asked me to send him a phot of the chicken so immediately after the call I went to take the photo. I had thrown a few bad pieces in the garbage so I picked a couple out rinsed in water a bit to show the actual pink colour and texted him the photo right away. Ali didn't respond so on Saturday May 28 I called to follow up and Ali denied it was his chicken and started raising his voice so I raised my voice to ask him why he didn't respond to my text photo last evening right away if he didn't believe it was his chicken and why he is changing his mind now about replacing the meal and he started shouting at me and called me stupid and told me to "Go Fuck Yourself" and hung up on me. I was talking to him on speaker phone so my wife and kids heard the conversation too. I have never had a business owner use profanity at me and I never was disrespectful to him. I immediately called Lansdowne Mall customer service and the lady told me to file the complaint on the website comment section. Please y'all stay away from this place it's not worth the health risk from contaminated food and the verbal abuse from the owner. read more

they don't pay their bills. They order product, sell it and don't pay the manufacturers for the food. They sell the food, keep all the profit and avoide paying suppliers. Is that who you want to buy from? read more

They need to change the rice to a dill rice instead of using plain rice which doesn't make it taste very good . Overall not bad ,the young kid is working alone be patient he does a great job read more

I can't believe I wasted my calories on this food. The flavour train missed this placed entirely with the watery tatziki and hummus. All donairs are not created equal. read more

This has got to be the most expensive Donair place in the city. The food is average - I work in New West and there are many great donair places there at half the price and twice the amount of food. I wanted this place to be good as I'm local to the area but unfortunately it's not worth it. read more

Surprisingly good lamb leg at a food court! We were at the Landsdowne location and what a pleasant surprise! The lamb leg is well flavoured and juicy soft. They give a generous portion of rice too. Can't ask for more for this price! read more

Donair Spot - Mediterranean Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I've never been disappointed with my orders from Donair Spot here in Lansdowne Mall Food Court. The portions are generous, the taste always deliciously true to the ethnic origin, the servers friendly and always with a smile when they take my orders. The counter is always clean and food always looks freshly made. Do try their shawarma and tabbouleh. Highly recommended! read more

Donair Spot - a tray of meatballs, rice, and vegetables - Mediterranean Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Restaurant was open conveniently late and falafel platter was tasty! Great customer service! Highly recommended!

Decent decoration, good service. However, food wise: they only use one piece of pita for their wraps, and so the wraps leaks significantly near the end. They tried to fix this by using aluminium foil, however that results in pieces of the foil potentially getting into your mouth (as happened to me). Using paper would be preferable like most other places. Also staff don't use gloves, and the selection of toppings is pretty poor compared to other places. read more

Richmond mall location. This place is terrible. First off they had no beef. All out. Really .. a Donair place with no beef?? Then I ask if instead of the original order of 1 beef & 1 chicken kabob , if I just get 2 chicken. He says no. Okay .. then I pay after which time he informed me it's a 10 min wait . Chicken kabob was gross . Tasted like bleach . Salad was sad and not fresh . Rice was fine though . Hard to mess that up. Save your money . Don't eat here ever read more

Football sized shawarmas. Went for the chicken one for $6.50. Received a colossal medley of meat and veggies. Meat itself was alright, but nothing special. But value wins, I was stuffed. Staff were cool. read more

Another solid lunch spot that is quick and cheap. If you want a donair the size of a child's head then stop in here. It's a nice and clean, family run joint with pleasant service. I usually get the falafel donair with hummus and tabouleh, which is loaded with all the toppings and is huge. It's only $6 +tax. I was tempted to get a baklava, as they looked delish, but my donair was so gigantic I couldn't possibly have eaten any more. If you're really hungry you can get a plate, which comes with rice and pita. The chicken and beef look good, but I haven't tried them. I have had the lamb, which I wasn't really fond of since it comes off a big log of processed meat, unlike the chicken and beef which are piled up pieces of real meat. I'd like it if they had some roasted veggies as an option, like Babylon, because sometimes falafel is just too heavy for me. Cash only! read 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 downtown beat this one. They're just so much more tasty. Maybe because they add pickles or hummus or something. However, I agree with Aiden, this place is pretty clean and it seems to be a solid family business that I would support. I would go here again if I'm int he area. read more

I'm in the middle of renovating one house/moving from another, and right now literally ALL my dishes, pots and pans are...I don't know where. Under a drop cloth at one house? In a box at another one? Sigh. What this means is a lot of food that comes wrapped in paper or is eaten with plastic utensils. Donair Spot was one way for me to mix it up a bit when it comes to my current to-go diet. I stayed away from the meat because - well, meat on a revolving spit has never been my thing. Instead I opted for the Veggie Falafel platter, which came with two pitas, a huge amount of hummus and tabouleh, a little bit of salad, and basmati rice. For $8.80 it is a whole lotta food, and let me tell you, all mixed together in one Middle-Eastern kind of melange? Delicious. The falafel had just the right amount of crunch (if a little too "deep fried"/french fry-ish tasting - maybe they need to clean the fryer more often?), the hummus was good and garlicky, and the tabbouleh was fresh. YES. All in all, a satisfying one-container meal that I'd definitely opt for again. I wouldn't recommending dining in - atmosphere is not something this place has - but it's a perfectly acceptable take-away locale to add to your repertoire. read more

When I am coming or going from YVR this is a reliable hole in the wall near the airport for a quick bite. Donair Spot is clean and quick. I order the Lebanese Chicken Shawarma which is the upgrade from the regular with the addition of tabouli and hummus. It is generously filled with all of the standard fresh vegetables and chicken. Although they had a lovely stack of chicken rotating on the spit they filled my shawarma with chicken from a steam tray - boo! I want the fresh stuff! The chicken itself is moist but a lot less flavorful than some of the chicken that I have had elsewhere, but by the time that I tszuj it up with all of the condiments it is just fine. This is far better food than anything I find at the airport. read more

We enjoy eating here a couple times a month. The prices are reasonable and I love the lamb dishes! The guys have always been friendly and helpful to us. Once, when I was short a loonie, they just said no problem! It is great that they now accept debit. I only give it 4 stars because the decor isn't too cozy, but everything else is great! read more

Donair Spot - Lamb Plate - Mediterranean Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

You couldn't ask for a more filling and delicious lunch such as these wraps! They just serve large portions chicken, beef and lamb wraps. I usually go with chicken wraps before and try to ask them to put everything on it like cucumbers, jalapeño, veggies, onions, tomatoes and of course the popular sauces like garlic, chili and tzatziki! Before long i shufted to beef wraps and it was so good....but here's my favorite one... I asked if they would be able to mix the meats into one wrap! (Chix and beef or chix and lamb or beef and lamb) i just saw how they filled that wrap from edge to edge and it was nearly impossible to fold it into a wrap itself...seeing that large of a portion was pure joy and it the wrap tastes phenomenal! I have to go through a lot of napkins to finish that meal....man! it was so good! For people on the rush or people who eat with their hands or just don't like cutleries ruin your busy day or just in a hurry...this one for you! They also have plated meals if you decide to go dine in but I will assure you...the food is good and filling and will never disappoint. Will be back for more and always worth to recommend. Tried their Lansdowne Mall branch in Richmond, BC too...awesome everytime! read more

I've had multiple donairs from here - they taste good. However halfway through my donair tonight I found a maggot in it. Needless to say I'm freaked and disgusted and will probably never be able to eat a donair again in my life. Thanks donair spot. Ughhhhhh. read more

Even considered giving it 4 stars as there's not much choice of Mediterranean in Marpole. It's simple yet clean inside, some window action seating at the front & only a few spots to park in this mini-strip mall with 7 Eleven & Mr. Pickwicks all fighting here. Highly recommend the chicken sharwarma, known for its home-made tziki/garlic sauce, & choice of house or greek salad. At $10.99 combo w/ a pop, may not be cheap but will certainly be filling for lunch. Prefer this location over the Marine Drive/Fraser one. read more

Over rated maybe the best in Marpole, doesn't compare with downtown Players!! Big fish in a very small pond.. read more

Their shwarmas are good but overpriced. They Start at $6.50 for a plain shwarma. Add 1 dollar for flavours - this includes homous and tabouleh which are included at other donair restaurants Add 1 dollar for extra meat. I think it should start at $3.50. Time to open my own donair restaurant. read more

The falafel was awfully dry and the hummus had the consistency of ranch dressing. I really tried to like this place, but I left with a stomachache. At the Safeway across the street now buying something to wash it all down with. read more

I'm pretty sure everyone giving this Donair Spot a bad review is eating at a different Donair Spot. I used to regularly order takeout from this location, and will still order from time-to-time, and every time the service and the food are both phenomenal. The workers are always so kind and friendly and treat you like you're family. I usually get the chicken donair or the chicken shawarma platter. The chicken donair is pretty difficult to mess up, unless the wrap breaks as they're making it. I've had that happen to me once and the gentleman gave me the option to have him make a completely new one for me, or to just double wrap it. The chicken shawarma platter, I'm a little bit pickier with. First of all, it's a huge portion for a very good price, I could easily share it with another person and still be content. It comes with basmati rice, a generous portion of chicken, tabouleh, hummus, pita bread, and your choice of sauces (tzatziki, hot sauce). I'm not a fan of parsley so I always ask to substitute it with basmati rice and they always give me a lot extra. One of the only spots in Marpole that open to midnight, with the best type of food to satisfy your drunk (or sober) cravings until the clock strikes 12am. read more

This place has decent food, and decent portions. It's a bit expensive for what you get, but it's also the only donair place in Marpole, so when I'm craving donair and I don't want to drive, this is it. However, the biggest reason fot the two star rating is that the training of staff is atrocious. If there is a new staff member, I literally have to tell them how to do their job for the first 3 or 4 times I go in - the owners did a great job when they were behind the counter, but since they've started hiring outside help, the quality has gone way down. read more

This is the only donair joint in this neighbourhood and when I dropped by yesterday, there was steady line-up streaming out the door. The turkish fellow was basically running a one-man show store and it took about 10 minutes for my turn to order. He's quite new to Vancouver and he's quite friendly and always trying to make conversation. The produce is fresh and donairs are pretty good but a bit pricy-pretty much in line w/ the rest of the neighbourhood. Well worth the wait! 3 stars for food and value/4 stars for service read more

This is actually the worst shwarma I've ever had. The chicken is mushy and flavorless. They heated the vegetables in the microwave with the mean and wrap, so the lettuce is warm and mushy too. The tzatziki is bland and somehow so is the hot sauce. The coke zero is fine. Avoid. read more

chicken sharma huge but the guy was rude aggresive being new to this place put my order in ordered chicken platter recieved just the chicken sharma we i questioned about the platter willing to pay more he said i. couldn't why? just no pretty rude to me read more

fresh ingredients, friendly service, the prices seem in line with the other donair places in town. I had the regular beef donair for $5.49 and it was awesome. Crunchy lettuce, tangy sauce, tender and juicy beef- not dry like some places. The parking lot is a gong show, yes, but at least it has one. read more

We arrived from Victoria as a group of tired tourists at 11:30 pm and Deva took care of us! Great food for the price and extremely friendly service. I'll be back for good food and a nice chat next time I'm in town! read more

The workers are nice ^___^ I love the donairs soosososososoo good I'm craving it right now!! I got the pita donair I guess? Idk what it is it's probably the sweet sauce but its soooo so goooood . Small place but a good place to stop by and eat read more

Here's the deal: at work, we have Shawarma Wednesdays. At least half the staff gets a Chicken Platter. Never fails, and the guys are nice. Good place. read more

Used to be good but over a year ago the food quality went down so I don't bother to go back again.

I just walked out from this donner spot location and I would say it was THE worst donner that I ever had. I love donner however the Athentic donner is from Labenan or turkey which brings the great taste from culture to their dishes .The guys who own donner spot which there are 3 locations are Persian and really don't know how to make Lebanon's athentic food. It seems they stake chicken with some oli and mix spices and that is all. The hummus and Tzitziki are so runny and salty which you can't even taste the actual ingredient and after all they server me cold chicken from their warmer which obviously were sitting there for while and was dried up as you could hardly chow it. It is also over priced for a.plate of chicken and salad I paid $11.97 compare to other donner shops that you pay usually under $10 . I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone and will never go back there again. read more

I've stopped here on my way back into Richmond from Vancouver many many times and it's always been pleasant. They offer TONS of options to make your donair exciting like pineapple for example.
