I came here for the second time, and was happy to enjoy the same delicious donair I had the first time. I ordered the beef donair, and it took around 8 minutes to come out (it was a little busy at the time). The wrap was packed with a generous amount of beef which was seasoned to perfection and cooked just to the point where it was full of juice and flavour. The amount of each condiment (lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, tzatziki, garlic sauce, hot sauce) was balanced so that the flavour of each bite had a nice dynamic of texture and flavours. My one small criticism is that there was too much tomato for me, which slightly overpowered some of the other flavours while also making the wrap a bit wet in some places. This was fixed by taking out one tomato slice, so not a big problem.
The service was good, nothing too crazy but not bad. The lady at the counter makes sure she gets your order correct and confirms it with you. However, their machine did not work with tap payment and I was disappointed to see it still did not after dealing with the same issue three months ago when I went the first time. Contactless payment like Apple Pay is becoming more popular these days, and they might lose customers due to not accepting tap.
The atmosphere is average, like any other donair shop. There's enough seating that you won't have to worry about finding a place to sit, and there is a bar with all of the condiments you'd need. It was relatively clean, but I still noticed some dirt here and there.
I recommend this place to anyone who wants a reliable, affordable donair restaurant....
ย ย ย Read moreI was first introduced to donair by a Persian gym buddy who suggested this Northshore restaurant to tackle some major hunger after a Gym session. I'd heard of donair Mediterranean vertical barbecue before but had never been.
Always down for well-seasoned and spicy food, the first taste of Yummy's mixed beef and lamb donair made me an instant fan. Beyond the very generously sliced barbecued meat, a wide choice of different vegetable ingredients and several sweet and spicy sauce options (garlic, tzatziki, or hot) can be added to the delicous pita bread -- which is very soft, fresh and doesn't break or leak. Many additional condiments are also available at-table for customizable taste: Frank's, Sriracha, Sriracha Mayonnaise, Ketchup etc.
A very well-stocked Cooler also contains a ton of beverage choice: soft drinks domestic & imported, juices, bottled waters, iced teas + lemonade, red bull & sports drinks. Something for everyone.
The interior of Yummy Donair's very ideal corner location on 16th Street is bright and clean with curving stone counters along window, several individual tables for four, and new seating both inside and outside; the adjacent outdoor patio seating area is surrounded by shady trees and shrubs along Hamilton Avenue, ideal for hot Summer weather. Cool Plants and Aquarium, colorful new Mediterranean lighting, well-mixed Spotify playlists, and very Welcoming People make your visit a very ...
ย ย ย Read moreThis place used to be my fav spot to go but the couple of times I went there, the quality has definitely declined. Today was definitely last straw for me. I tried it again today hoping that it will be ok but I was wrong. I even asked the lady in the cashier to make sure my food is hot because of my past experience. Obviously she didn't even bother caring,the guy who's putting things together didn't even bother re-mixing the meat that is sitting in a food warmer insert. I got the food, tried it and truth be told it was lukewarm at best. I grabbed the guy's attention and talked to him about it, I explained to him about my opinion about the food that I got so he hurried back in the kitchen, re-tossed everything, grabbed a brown box container and brought it to me, dropped it on my table like he dropped a freaking bomb. I told him I don't need a replacement for it, I'm just letting you know for the next customer. He's response was, "what do you want now? Beef or lamb?" Then hurried back inside slamming the kitchen door. In all my years (13+years) in the culinary industry (currently working as a Sous Chef of CactusClub), this is definitely the poorest taste of kitchen experience I've received in a restaurant. I didn't get his name since they don't have nametags but he's middle-aged man wearing glasses. That man shouldn't handle customers...
