Donair Affair — Restaurant in Burnaby

What an awesome find! I work in the area and have seen their sandwich board posted out front for the last 3 or 4 months. Couldn't bring myself to cook tonight and decided to give them a shot.

With my hand on the door about to enter, a gentleman walking by stopped me and said: "This is a GREAT place to eat! You'll love it!" and kept walking. Surprised by this endorsement, and by the couple chowing down on their meal I waited in line as the staff member finished helping another customer.

The space is not very exciting, the walls are stark white, pretty bland. Parking is easiest at the back of the complex.

I asked what was their most popular seller and was told hands down it's the chicken donair. I ordered 1 super lamb donair and 1 super chicken donair. The price difference between the regular sized and super is $1. These donairs are HUGE and stuffed full. The guy behind the counter said he'd "see me tomorrow".

On getting them home, I totally understood why the couple in the shop was chowing down hard and fast. THIS IS REALLY GOOD FOOD! Both the chicken and the lamb were tender and juicy. The flavour was wonderful and I could barely get through mine I was so full. I spent $14 for the meal. Cheapest donairs I have bought and worth every cent.

That guy behind the counter - he was right. I'll be back tomorrow with...

$46 inc. tip for a chicken donair and 2 lamb platters. The food and the service here is terrible!

When I first arrived at 7pm on a Thursday and there was only one other customer waiting in the store and 2 staff. No one greeted me. I stood there for 10 minutes until they grunted, "what can I get you." They did not ask me which of the three sauces I would like on the lamb platter, they just started pouring all three sauces on, slopping it on fast with a ladle. I had to quickly stop her from putting a huge splash of hot sauce on one of the platters.

The food was meh and the "Greek salad" in particular was awful! A little bit of feta cheese and dressing and soggy cucumbers! Disgusting! Where were the peppers shown in their menu photos?! The rice was dry and a mix of white and yellow coloured basmati. The humous was runny and tasted awful - and I'm a huge fan of all types of humous normally.

I also ordered a sorry looking piece of baklava which they forgot to put in the bag! My loss, I guess.

The service here is terrible - do not go here! This place has really gone downhill since I started coming here...

Could have been 5 stars but I’ll explain why. 1st. The food is amazing: donair affair is always good at all locations. Today’s my beef (no pun intended) is about service. I ordered a platter with rice half beef half chicken. She says it’s an orange xtra $3. I decline and say naw I’ll just have all chicken. I also Oder a chicken wrap. She says sorry we are out of chicken I used the last of it fir your platter. 5-7 min for more chicken. So she suggests I have beef. My beef is she could have given me the ordinal half beef half chicken and had enough chicken to make my wrap. But she didn’t. I did suggest this but My idea was not honored. I left with a beef wrap and a chicken platter. They were being cheap and it bothers me. Do better man. November...
