Donair On The Run — Restaurant in Town of Cochrane

review for community paper, The Cochrane Post: ★★★★★ You’re going to LOVE it here. Really good food. Super fresh, flavourful. Extensive menu including vegetarian. Comfortable shop inside with lots of room and even a football game table. Outside patio with shade. Friendly owner with nice, knowledgeable staff.

I went for lunch and got some takeaway to have later for dinner. Extensive menu with lots of choices – the owner and staff were both really good at making me feel comfortable even though I didn’t know what to get. They were helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and made good recommendations.

The falafel was excellent – so flavourful and custom wrapped with my preferred veggies and sauce. The falafel balls were just right, not too dry and a good texture. I was told it was a family recipe and it tastes like a family favourite. Really good pita bread. Definitely get a bag to take home. Variety of sauces also really tasty as are toppings like pickled turnips, pickled red cabbage and most any vegetable you’d want.

Outstanding hummus. Definitely get an order to take home with your pita bread. It could be my new favourite, especially with the pickled turnip garnish. Smooth, creamy and mild but very tasty. I enjoyed it with pickled turnip, diced cucumber and tomatoes on top and drizzled with olive oil. SO GOOD. I tried the baklava. What? Had to have dessert, it’s for work ... highly recommend.

Relaxing atmosphere, great food and nice people, I’m looking forward to going back. You will enjoy the quality, variety, freshness and...

We decided to drive from Calgary to Cochrane specifically to try Donair on the Run. Based on the pictures we saw on Google, it looked like a small place with good donair options. However, to our pleasant surprise, it turned out to be a spacious restaurant with ample seating and a wide variety of wrap and salad options.

I opted for a chicken shawarma, and my wife chose a donair. We both decided on the "regular" size wraps, expecting a modest portion. To our surprise, the regular size was what we would typically call a large size. It was a lot of food, and we could barely finish our wraps.

The service was quick and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable. We spent less on two wraps, including drinks, than we usually do for one large wrap and two drinks at our regular place in Calgary. Despite there being a line, it moved quickly, and there were plenty of tables available.

The shawarma I had was delicious, and my wife loved her donair. The flavours were spot-on, and the portion sizes were more than generous. Donair on the Run is definitely well worth the drive from Calgary, and we’ll be making this trip more often for their excellent wraps and great value. Highly...

I promised the owners that I would leave a review after a visit last week with my oldest daughter. I told the guys that out of all the donairs and shawarma I have had in my life, the one I had just eaten was easily top 3 of all time. No joke. And here is why: I ordered a beef and chicken mix and the toppings were fresh, tasty and plentiful! So many choices. The meats were juicy and tasty. The sauces are dynamite and again, way more choices than other places. But what really caught my attention was the size of the end product, which was huge (so great bang for the buck) and the bread used to wrap the shawarma. I forget the name of the bread but it is not a pita which is used for donairs only AFAIK. This bread is thin and crisps up so nicely when they throw it on the panini press. You get a nice crunch with each bite followed by the delicious meat and the super tasty sauces with the great flavours of fresh toppings. I tell ya...you will not be disappointed with the food at Donaire On The Run and I am pretty thankful we have them...
