Super tasty falafels! And the guy who works there is a crack up. He is generous and chatty and gave us a falafel ball to taste, totally blew us away! Now I am sad that we can’t have that again as we live in the States. Must come up with the recipe(which he actually shared in a very basic way). Look for the evil eye or nazar in the shop. Not a place to go if you are looking for ambience because the TV is on and it’s sports, but good food and lots of it.

Great place for falafels! Too bad I never paid too much attention to this block on broadway or else maybe I would’ve tried this place sooner. I ordered a falafel wrap $ 6.99. The falafels were pretty good; good flavour and not dry — I’ve had bitter ones, burnt ones, and dry ones before at other donair places… Ingredients for the wrap tasted fresh. Overall the wrap was tasty and I enjoyed it. Will probably ask for more sauce in my wrap next time. Price is good and portions are good. Will definitely come back to try their lamb!

I was in the area and needed a quick dinner, Unilocal led me here because of the great reviews. The service was quick and cheerful. The food was fresh(the rice had just finished cooking and was delicious), portions are generous, and toppings abundant.

The guy that’s always there(manager? owner?) is absolutely hilarious and genuinely cares about what he serves, definitely a highlight. It’s a cozy little place with a Subway like layout so you can pick and choose what you want(get everything, trust me), it’s pretty steadily busy during the lunch rush but mostly for take-out so there are always free tables. The lebanese wrap is my go-to when I’m getting off the Canada line and need a quick bite to eat, somehow the tabouleh just ties it all together for me. The chicken is far and above the best filling you can get, it’s got a bunch of really interesting spices whereas the lamb and beef are pretty standard fare. Whatever you order will be stuffed to the gills with tasty meat and the veggies are extremely fresh, grilling it in the tinfoil is a nice touch also. Definitely some of the best shawarma in the city and the dude behind the counter makes it that much better.

Been meaning to try this place for a while. Finally did & man I wish I would have tried it sooner. Excellent food and very friendly. I could barely walk the meal was very good value for the $ you must try this place. 5 stars & I don’t give them out that often but I can’t give it less. .

Friendly service, fresh food and large portions, what more can you really ask for? I stopped by this place on a rainy December day, looking for something to warm me up. I ordered a Lebanese style falafel wrap and was a little taken aback by how large it turned out to be. I took one look at it and told the server it looked like at least two meals worth of food. He recommended I only unwrap a little bit of it at a time when eating it, otherwise the whole thing might come apart since it was so stuffed. That turned out to be great advise because I only got about half way through before I was full but it was so tasty that I pressed on. Despite my best efforts, I was only able to eat 2⁄3 of it. The shop keep re-wrapped my leftovers for me so I could get it home in one piece. Anytime you can get two meals out of one $ 6.99 wrap, that is an awesome deal in my world. The shop itself is small as are the tables, so not the place to come if you have a large group. By large I mean a group of more than 2 people. It’s also not the place to go if you’re looking for something fancier than eating off of plastic cafeteria trays. As for me, I’ll gladly return to this place any day.

Have to agree with the other reviews here. The man behind the counter on a Thursday night was genuinely friendly and so generous with toppings. Our wraps weighed the same as newborn babies, the falafel was fresh and crispy, and plenty of different veggie combinations on the menu to make anyone happy. Loved the Donair Spot! We will return for sure!

I love this place. This is the BEST donair shop on this side of the bridge! Great value. Great flavour. Great staff. They are now expanding their menu. Persian food along with the standard donair affair. Love to see these guys grow. Drop your doubts an get em here.(donairs that is)

I was starting to think this spot was a shawarma graveyard after all the failed places that opened and closed here one after another. I’m so glad a decent place has finally opened in near my work. This place ticks all the boxes for a quick, yummy lunch under $ 10 with friendly service to boot. They are generous with their toppings and sauces. The chicken could be crispier, but this is a pretty minor issue overall. Their hummus is really delicious but gets a bit lost in the wrap, so once in awhile I splurge on a platter so I can just eat the hummus with the salad and really enjoy the flavour.

I have had the chicken and lamb wrap and platters and I love them both. Not many places in town carry pickled turnips or garlic sauce let alone both.
