    Hawaiian Lamb donair
    Katherine T.

    I tried this spot back in 2019 when I visited Vancouver, but never got the chance to write a review. It's a very hole in the wall spot, and there wasn't much of a wait when we got there. It was the first time I had ever tried a donair and it was SO good, hands-down my favorite meal of the trip. I ordered the Hawaiian Lamb Donair and I enjoyed it so much that I went back the same night to buy another one to eat at the airport the next day. Waiting for the day I can go back and have it again

    My new favorite Donair in Vancouver! Delicious, clean, very nice people. The whole family loves it!

    Special. Beef donair combo $8.50
    Brenda K.

    Fast service and great food. Portion was big. So glad that owner didn't charge me extra on Tabouleh (parsley salad) and donair was so delicious. Had to wait for fries, but totally worth waiting for. Their fries were fresh and crispy which reminded me of Costco fries. So delicious and inexpensive.

    This little hole-in-the-wall offers some pretty amazing donair at very reasonable prices. If you're in Vancouver and you're looking for legit Mediterranean food that won't break the bank, this is the place.

    I found this location while searching for halal food when I was walking to Stanley Park. I had food from this location twice on my trip and the consistency was maintained. This here my friend was one of my best experience of donair kabab in Canada. The portion sizes were great. The plate came with plenty of tender juicy meat topped with garlic and hot sauce sided with rice, hummus, salad and pita bread. I had the mix plate and both the chicken and beef were cooked well and were tender. The person was friendly and the food didn't take much time at all. The seating area is very small, so you are better off taking away your food. Overall, good experience! P.S for my Muslim folks they serve Halal meat here.

    Chicken Donair Lebanese style (with hummus and tabouli) - regular size was plenty filling for 2!

    Stopped in for a quick lunch. 2 of us split the regular size Lebanese chicken Donair, which the owner marinated himself. (The beef and lamb options are standard factory Donair fare like everywhere else.) The regular size was plenty filling for both of us. Food was fresh, meat was moist, and nicely finished on the griddle. Customer service by the owner was friendly and it was great that he shared how he prepares his food. Will definitely be back!

    Price: $7-$10/ donair Parking: Street meter parking Wait time: 5-10 minutes Ambience: To go type restaurant Would I return: Absolutely My favourite donair to get here is the original chicken donair. All donairs come with their regular toppings which include lettuce, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic sauce, tzatziki sauce and hot sauce. You are able to customize which regular toppings you don't want to include in your donair. Their menu offers donairs that come with additional toppings in addition to their regular toppings. Some additional topping options include a Greek donair with feta and olives, a Hawaiian donair with pineapple and sweet sauce as well as a Caribbean donair with tabouli and jalapeño pepper. The restaurant is fairly small so I would recommend getting your food to go. On busy days the wait may be a bit longer as the restaurant cannot handle high volumes of orders. Their donairs are extremely tasty and full of flavour. Be warned the donairs may be messy to eat, so be prepared to get your hands dirty. I have tried Donair Dude the other popular donair restaurant in the city and I definitely like Donair Town better. I drop by this place every time I'm in the area.

    Lamb and Chicken Donair

    Absolute must stop for donair around Stanley park area. I had the chicken and lamb mix donair with all toppings in Lebanese style. Lebanese adds Tabouli and Hummus. Portion was huge and its very filling. Would most definitely come back 10/10

    Lebanese Chicken Shawarma
    Sofia K.

    This is literally my favourite place to go for shawarma. The Lebanese chicken shawarma is so good. Amazing value for your dollar and the food is SO delicious. Ask for the fries with garlic sauce as well and you will have an awesome meal. For real, the only legitimate shawarma place in Vancouver.

    The lamb is the way to go!

It would have been nice to have some Arabic or oriental music playing in the background. Maybe also some rose saboun in the bathroom would have been nice!!

The portion was good and everything was delicious. I'm GF, and they serve the dips with lettuce for free (or you can order a side of cucumbers for a small charge). The presentation was lovely. The only thing I didn't like was after a while all of the dips just get mushed together and you kinda don't know what you're eating anymore...Also we all loved the jalapeno hummus the most. We asked for arak and it wasn't served the right way...Our server forgot to bring an extra empty glass so that we can mix the arak with water (in the proportional way that we'd like). I asked for an empty glass for mixing in addition to another drinking glass because mine was broken (crack was big and the glass should be chucked out). Server forgot to get an empty mixing glass. We ordered a taouk pita wrap, but we got served a taouk platter instead. Anyhow she just wasn't very attentive. The mixed grill mezze platter was mostly yummy except for the kafta. 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. The chicken and the cauliflower were delicious. I'd be tempted to try Nuba at another location and sample other things off their menu. Happy eating!!

From the moment we sat down, the experience was something special. They start you off with warm, grilled bread alongside a gorgeous pool of fresh olive oil, and here's the touch that sets the tone for the whole evening: the oregano garnishing that oil is cut tableside from a live plant. It's a small detail, but it tells you everything about how much this kitchen cares. We went all in on the menu and have zero regrets. The spread platter was outstanding, multiple dips, beautifully presented with soft bread, each one distinct and well-crafted. The warm marinated olives were rich and aromatic, the kind of thing you keep reaching back into. The calamari was perfectly fried, light, crispy, served with a creamy tzatziki dipping sauce. For mains, the whole lobster with fries was a showstopper, generous, fresh, and served with clarified butter and a tangy sauce. The halibut was elegant and delicate, plated with roasted vegetables and large capers in a way that felt genuinely refined. The cocktails and drink program held up beautifully throughout the meal too. This is the kind of restaurant that makes a night feel like an occasion.

How we got here: my lunch appointment went long and I was hungry, needed to grab something quick before the next meeting. I had seen a sign somewhere in the area for a lovely Greek gyro previously. I wasn't able to find the sign/restaurant I had seen previously. We walked past this place and while I was trying to figure out whether or not they offered a Greek gyro, one of the workers there essentially pulled us in off the street and put a menu in front of us. They have so many images-everywhere it was a bit of a challenge to figure it out quickly. I saw the shaved lamb on the right of the "cooking area" so I figured I would get what I was asking for. In the restaurant, that was basically empty at lunch, I figured out why he grabbed us, they are probably desperate for business. They also charged us like we were the only paying customers. Most places offer a lunch combo meal, gyro, drink and fries for a single low price but our order of two combos was nearly $60!!!! I have receipt!!! (See attached). What we got was definitely not shaved lamb. The meat was chunky, beef stew LIKE meat and as I am unfortunately eating this as I write this review I can't tell you it tastes AWFUL!! They probably get this s#it cheap!!! On it, was some kind of sauce, also not tzatziki. As they are Persian and not Greek I suspect they don't even know what tzatziki sauce is! You can tell from the pictures the sauce isn't right, the vegetables don't look fresh, the bread is stale The $7 order of fries is disgusting as well. I wanted to treat myself to ordering lunch out. I will NEVER patronize this place again, I dare call it a restaurant, it should be permanently closed. I think I have to vomit now to save myself! Please consider this WARNING a gift. My time is EXTREMELY VALUABLE and I don't have time for this kind of food crime or BS. I call FRAUD!!! (I was going to post a photo of what a gyro should look like so you could easily compare but decided against it because I didn't want there to be any confusion about what you will actually get when you dare to eat here!)
