    German Doner Kebab
    Heather M.

    Having lived in Germany for 3 years, my husband and I fell in love with the doner kebab food trucks there. We are always on the hunt for that authentic taste. While this isn't exactly like those doners (the difference is in the bread), these were as close as we've found! We ordered a sample of everything...German Doner, Doner Quesadilla, Doner Spring rolls, Doner Poutine, and Flaming Fries! I had the regular German Doner and my husband got the "go large." The amount of meat on the regular is extremely generous, the "go large" was almost too large. When you order online you can easily select what you do and do not want on the sandwich or any extras. It's very customizable. Hands down my favorite item was the spring rolls. They were amazing with a little jalapeño in it to give a bit of kick. So good! They disappeared before I could even take a picture. Flaming Fries - The "flaming" spice was barely there. I didn't find them too spicy but I love spice. They were very good paired with any of the sauces (but garlic was my fav). Doner Quesadilla- When I think of quesadillas I think cheesy goodness. Well the cheese is barely there with these. This was the only item that we tried that we wouldn't order again. I'd get an extra order of those amazing spring rolls instead!

    Takeout: everything was packaged nicely

    The fam and I decided on German Doner Kebab for our weekly(sometimes twice a week, not gunna lie) pandemic takeout day. I am a HUGE fan of Wolf Down, which is a no fuss, simplistic doner shop smack dab in the city. They make the best tofu doners, and their in house sauces are AMAZING! Okay...this is not a review for Wolf Down ...You can read my Wolf Down review here if you want: https://www.yelp.ca/biz/wolf-down-ottawa?hrid=Drtw3PBXnnixEMbMx1p0rw&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) German Doner Kebab is a chain that recently opened in Ottawa. Fellow Elite Yelper, Jennifer P. sums up the history of this chain really well in her review! Go read it! Her reviews are great and so detailed! I've had this place on my list for a while. I was kind of bummed when the only vegetarian doner protein option was a veggie patty, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Guys....it's not very good. The pictures online made it look like this fried up goodness filled with vegetables cut up in cubes. My doner was filled with a mushy black bean burger. Unless you love black bean burgers, I feel vegetarians are getting the short end of the stick here. I wish they thought of something more innovative. The bread was OK, and did the trick holding all the toppings in. There was no yummy chew factor with the bread though. Toppings included lettuce, purple cabbage and onions. I did pay for a side of pickles for an extra $1.00 and honestly it wasn't worth it. I received about 5 small pickles in a small container (the containers they put their sauce in). I did appreciate that the sauces were served on the side so that the doner did not become soggy. Their sauces were OK, but in my opinion lacked flavour. The hubby had the chicken doner and he thought it was really good. He also had the doner spring rolls and he thought they were fantastic. I also ordered a side of fries which I thought were really good. Their chili bites were amazing as well. They were super cheesy and spicy. I may be back down the road, but I won't be rushing back for that veggie doner.

    This is super great unique crispy shell with great Halal donate meat inside and a crunchy salad with a delicious sauce. The waiting time is the only draw back.. but the packaging is so nicely done.. they come with a funky fork , wet towel and variety of dipping sauces. Fries is crunch and great too. We also tried their chicken quesadillas for the kids it was great! If ur on Keto diet they also have Doner bowl.. salad topped with the meat! Lots of varieties around doner !

    3 signature sauces
    Samantha A.

    Gourmet kebabs done right! First time having a German kebab and now any other kebab just seems basic to me. The meat is perfectly cut, juicy and succulent with the freshest ingredients. You have to eat the meal with their 3 signature sauces to give it that final touch. Their hand made doner kebab bread is unlike anything I've ever tasted. The entire experience is unique and something you should definitely try, don't be shy ;)

    TL;DR/The Short Version: Deli serving up loaded sandwiches…read morein Hintonburg. A bit pricey, but tasty. The Long Version: District Deli opened up around March 2025 in the space that was Bismallah Pies (was Charlie's Groceteria before that). My husband and I dropped by to pick up a sandwich to share. The sandwiches are all named after nearby streets, which really gives it that neighbourhood feel. All meat sandwiches are $13.99 and vegetarian sandwiches are $12.49. You can also build your own for $13.99 where you can choose 2 meats, one cheese, and whatever vegetables you like. We went with the build your own option. We got roast beef and prosciutto cotto, fresh mozzarella and lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, pickled eggplants, and roasted red peppers, with a bit of honey mustard. The sandwich was really good. The bread was fresh, as were the other ingredients. It was a bit pricey in my opinion, but this is in comparison to other similar sandwich shops with $8-10 sandwiches (like 50 Two Sandwiches or Shorty's Sandwiches), but they are in industrial parts of town, so I get it, rent in Hintonburg is higher. District Deli only has cold sandwiches. No hot sandwiches, at least not at the time of the writing of this review. Service was courteous and efficient. Street parking only. Review #118 (2025)

Prepare to be amazed............... We had heard about his place for months and how awesome it was so we finally decided to try it out. When we got there at mid-day on a Saturday there was a line up out the door. My wife suggested we go for a walk to let the line thin out a but. We got back and the line had thinned out so we went in. They have a set number of sandwiches and you can also make your own, but we decided to try their set sandwiches. I got the Parkdale and the Holland, my wife got the Bayswater, and we picked up a Scott for my daughter. When we got home, we were nothing short of blown away. The quality of the sandwich was amazing - the bread was light and fluffy, a ton of meat, fresh veggies, great sauces, just incredible quality. More importantly, fantastic value for money. Even more importantly, the staff were wonderful - they chatted with us but kept the line moving - super professional and friendly. The quality of the sandwiches here rivals Old Tyme - no word of a lie. The bread they use is very very close to what we had in Lafayette and the quality of the fillings is outstanding. Don't walk, run to this place. It will change your life for what you think about sandwiches.

    This sandwich is literally the reason I downloaded this app…read more I've just spent the whole winter in Quebec and am now hitchhiking across Canada and decided to stay in Ottawa a few days. I booked 4 nights at the Saintlo jail hostel and when I came downstairs after a rejuvenating nap I saw that they had a list of recommendations sitting amongst a pile of other plastic sheets. Dirienzo's - the best ITALIAN SANDWICH in the city. I'm not really an Italian sandwich sort of person normally, maybe it was contributed by the burgeoning like for cured meats that I was acquiring after eating dried salami as my only source of food for the past week or so -- but who's going to pass up the chance to try the BEST of anything? I got there after taking 2 buses and was starting to become a bit concerned. I had $40 in my account and was hitchhiking across the country -- after all it was labelled the BEST in the city and that would normally come with a hefty price tag. When I first opened the door I instantly got greeted by the guy behind the counter, which made me feel welcomed and at ease. I looked up to view the selection of sandwiches that they had on offer and potentially the cheaper ones. I was surprised to see the sign that said $10 for ANY SANDWICH!! #booyah I was finding it hard to decide on which of the sandwiches to get since they all looked so appetising, but decided on number 16. The sandwich was massive for the price that it was. The bread was a perfect mix between durable so that it wouldn't fall apart in your hands, but soft enough that it was enjoyable, with the amount of bread contemplating he rest of the fillings just the right amount. I was pretty overwhelmed to be honest with how good it was. All of the ingredients including the lettuce (which I've found is usually the first thing places will skimp out on) were extremely fresh. I put in my coworker groupchat: "Anyone coming over across Canada after the season has to make a stop in Ottawa if they aren't already just to try one of these." Accompanied by a photo of my eyes watering with glee. My Nonna is always telling me how I need to learn Italian to be more connected to our culture and I've always just kindof brushed it off since I haven't needed to use it and we don't speak it much at home, but this has made me so proud to be Italian. As I continued to eat the sandwich sitting on a bench looking towards the city and the people playing basketball in the park, I found myself contemplating staying in Canada and raising my kids here in Ottawa so that they get to experience it themselves on a warm summer afternoon after picking them up from school.

I usually get a latte there but decided on a regular one, that was a mistake. Their food did taste good, and their chutney was still delicious but the service was a bit gruff. They weren't rude by any means but I was ignored for 10 mins just waiting to ask for a takeout box. I could tell he was a bit overwhelmed and probably having an off morning, so I didn't take it personally. But when I'm paying $30 for one breakfast bowl and a coffee, I'd expect more than 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half and a few mushrooms in it.

All the nearby spots are reserved for the apartment dwellers in the building. Ordered a Huevo Ranchero ($16) - which came with scrambled eggs two corn tortillas with salsa, cheese, sour cream and a side order of fries. The eggs could have used some seasoning even with salsa it needed something extra A Vegan Breakfast Bowl ($14) - a mixture of tofu, spinach, mushrooms and tomato chutney - which somehow tasted to all 4 of us like onion chutney. The vegetables done good, but tofu again had just no flavour. Tofu had a spice rub all over, but it tasted like plain tofu. The Bacun strips were rice paper rolls with some attempted flavours but none came through. And two Vegan Bennies ($16) - a super grainy slice of bread topped with the same tofu, green onions, Bacun and some red pepper strips (NOT Coulis as described in the menu). If some person was having a tofu dish for the first time I think they would describe tofu as no flavour at all. We vegans know that you can do amazing things with Tofu. The home fries in the above dishes was the best - now that we could give 5 out 5. All of us had to go and get Sriracha and Ketchup from the counter to rescue the dishes. Coffee was too weak as well. When you go in and order on the counter and you get food delivered to your table. Should the restaurant still offer to tip on the machine BEFORE even we were served? The order did take a long time, the table not clean when we sat, no condiments on the table and coffee refills slow. An extra star for giving tons of vegan options

The Long Version: My husband and I finally made it out to Paninaro. We shared a sandwich and it was fantastic. I'm a big eater and I would not have been able to finish an entire one, so I'm glad we shared one. We got the Tacchino Tricolore ($15) which had sliced deli turkey, fior Di latte, tomatoes, arugula and pistachio cream. The bread was fresh, soft and fluffy. The pistachio cream was what made the sandwich. It really added that je ne sais quoi to it. I went in and ordered and got it to go while my husband walked around outside (he's intense about maximizing his steps and heart points on his fitness tracker, lol). They gave me a number to put on the table I was waiting at and offered me a glass of ice water while I waited. What great service! Staff were friendly. The decor is cool. They have artwork on the walls. They also have an arcade machine. And I saw a variation of the the Connect Four board game on one of the tables. The cafe is in a converted house and I was only in the front rooms. There are more rooms in the back, which I didn't go into. I think they have some outdoor seating out back too, when the weather is nice. Looking forward to returning to try their other sandwiches, like the Porchetta one. Street parking only. (199)

The arepa was steaming hot and a bit crunchy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. The amount of meat was ok, but was mostly around the opening, as I got to the bottom/end I was just eating arepa and feta cheese. I think I got 2 pieces of plantains, but they were fairly thin. I think I would need 2 to feel full/satisfied, lol. Maybe I'm just a little girl with a big appetite ;) This place is popular, so be prepared to line up and wait. The line moved fairly quickly though. Service was efficient. They also sell sandwiches and rice/salad bowls, oh and alfajores too! Gooney's is a cute little place and one of the few places in town where you can get arepas! Street parking only.
