Great service last night. I placed an order close to when they were closing. Skip mixed up my order, but I called the restaurant and they made sure my order went through, and got it out to me. It arrived quick, and was tasty. Much appreciated. We'll be back. 🙂

Hole in the wall basement donair spot. Really good. The chicken is well seasoned and portions are generous. Price for a meat platter is fair. Give this place a try!

Feel bad for the staff here for working in that heat with no A/C….. had to note this as I don’t know if there is anything that can be done for them But on the note of food, it’s the best place in town for donair. I have been to many in the GVA and I’d say this is one of the better places :)

Just a small little hole in the wall, quite busy when we went, but we were served quickly. Those huys have it down for getting orders out fast! Not much in the way of seating, more of a grab n go kind if place, but they have a small heated area outside with a few stools. I would go again, the donair was delicious, and large!

Ordered lamb plate and lamb shank plate today (served with hummus, salad, and basmati rice and pita bread). Both are very delicious. Salad is fresh, hummus is a perfect match not too salty. Place is very tidy and clean. And employees are all very friendly and patient. Highly recommended! (so yummy that I forgot to take photos) Parking: Plenty of parking in this plaza. You can also buy grocery from near by Save on Foods.

Currently my favourite donair joint in the city. Found them by chance one night when most places around were closed. Their donair and plates are super delicious and healthy. I usually dont like falafel, but became a fan of theirs! The customer service is also super-friendly and courteous every time. The quality went down at the donair restaurant I previously frequented, so I am really happy I found Donair Delight! I am already a regular here.

If you can avoid it, don t let the chick serve you! I literally have half of the portion size from last time I went there. after I left a 5 $ tip just on the one plate because I was impressed last time good food though

It seems to be good value for money. Of course the taste is delicious. Perfect combination of dandanji dietary fiber. Its not particularly friendly, but that doesnt mean its unfriendly. No, this was kind. I want to go here again, but it feels like there arent many places to sit and eat. However, since it feels like takeout food, there may be no need to dine in!!!

This place has been here for years and Im just trying it now haha and it was worth the wait. Yummy authentic food. I got the chicken platter and the chicken and the rice itself was so flavourful. The Hummus is delicious its so creamy and not super garlicky tasting. the hot sauce is hotter than some other donair places so becareful depending on if youre use to mild but the spice does not linger for long. Great for a quick pick up if youre wanting something quick and dont want to cook. I got Beef samosas from them but have not tried it yet or their pistachio Baklava that I got for dessert. The chicken platter was so delicious I had to write a review asap haha friendly fellows who joked with me and gave a great vibe. One guy said see you soon and I said Hopefully we will see.. well sir If youre reading this, I will be coming back. Vegetarian options: They have Falafal options and Veggie samosas.

I went to the place last night and ordered a lamb donair. The portion was disappointingly small, leaving me unsatisfied. Also, I was disappointed by the customer service. Initially, they placed my order in a bag, but then took it out before handing it to me, which was confusing and inconvenient. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I won t be returning.

love the lamb donair and lamb plate both are my favorite at donair delight, workers definitely dont cheap out on the meats like some other places. Always a big smile and very welcoming when you enter their resteraunt. Would definitely recommend you trying them out if you havent. youll find a dish of your own on their menu thatll make you keep coming back. 5 out of 5 Vegetarian options: Just the hummus and pita bread alone will fill you up. Parking: Think of it as a mini mall with hundreds of available spots to park.

Absolutely love this place. Come here after Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at Gracie Barra to recharge my battery with a falafel platter. Have had the lamb and the chicken ones and theyre both great too! Edit: went to a different donair place yesterday which made this one taste even better. The salad is actually interesting and not just lettuce and tomato, the sauces are all made here, the platter comes with pita bread and the service is always excellent. Vegetarian options: Falafel here is amazing, great texture and taste. Parking: Theres a huge lot

If I can give 0 stars I would. Very rude guys, I asked for lamb donair platter. I can tell the meat on the grill is ready to cut. And the meat they are storing is old. So I asked if I can have fresh, they totally ignore me and ask if I want a bag! And when I ask why he doesnt cut it for me he said its not ready. So they finish the plate, I walk out for 2 seconds and I decide am not gonna let this fly, I come back in to return it or remake it. And hes already CUTTING THE MEAT HE SAID IS NOT READY!!! I politely asked to either refund me or remake it. And in the rudest way he takes out a 20 from the register and tries to refund me like that!! As if am begging from them! Disgustingly rude! Never coming here again even if they give me food for free..... To managment! You have a great store and Great location! Rethink training your staff or you will lose lots of business because of them! Good luck
