The chicken and beef donairs are really good. The regular size is huge so, you can have 2 meals unless you are very hungry. Once I ordered the chicken platter and I found the portions small although you get a ton of rice. I recommend the donairs.

I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and have always considered it one of the best donair places in New Westminster. That’s why I was excited to visit the new location today. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The donair was cold on the inside and the meat was quite dry, which is not the quality I’ve come to expect from this place. I truly believe that when a business grows from a small location to a bigger one, it’s because customers love its taste, quality, and consistency. Those are the standards that made people keep coming back. I’m giving 3 stars because of the many good experiences I’ve had over the years, and I will give it another try. I sincerely hope this was just an off day. Growth should create more happy memories for loyal customers, not disappointment. Wishing the team continued success and hoping to see the original quality return.

Honestly way beyond better than any other places like Donair Dude or even some other local donair spots, for $16.50 I got a large lamb donair with extra lamb, peace tea and a baklava and I’m super full (big eater). I couldn’t believe is so cheap and the donair so tasty, very compact and flavourful. Definitely my new donair place, so far the best I tried in New Westminster.
