My favourite fast food place! Recently I tried the samosa poutine and it is my new go to. The samosa and cheese are filling, while the veggies are refreshing, and the sauce has a nice tang to it.
Stopped in for some food, it was a substantial amount for a really great, affordable price. The new owner Garpreet was wonderful and very welcoming, overall, great cost, great food, great service!
New owners are amazing and the food let me tell you im a donair fries kinda lady with the extra extra pickels they never give me hassle and always so welcoming The new owner remembers my order and is always packing it with care and extra sauce Highly recommend 👌
The BEST donair in Kelowna. The staff are very friendly and try to help you as quickly as they can. The owner of the store will often be working which helps maintain food quality, portion size, and overall customer service! They always ask about my day and are very personable! I have been a repeat customer for years! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5 Recommended dishes Parking space Plenty of parking
My favorite lunch place in Kelowna, I love their jumbo beef .best donair in town..good staff. It’s just walking distance from waterfront as well..love to grab and walk on waterfront
My favorite lunch place in Kelowna, I love their jumbo beef donair, always loaded with meat and veggies. They definitely don't cheap out on ingredients and service is excellent and owners are very personal. Best donair in Kelowna for sure.
I always stop here for a beef donair, owners are super nice and good guys and jumbo donair is massive, youll be good for the day. Also the portions are huge and donair sauce is killer. Definitely have the best donair in kelowna.
Decent donair for Kelowna with reasonable prices.
Stop there for my lunch break I ordered falafel wrap with was so delicious and management so freindly
Chicken donair with spicy fries.. tasty, Id go back
They have worked well on their time management. You can get quick service here.
the meat was from a bucket and very cold and dry. served cold and dry too. waste of $20
Gurpreet and his uncle deliver. Friendly service, big portions and great food
Delicious! Awesome place.
Donair is decent enough but their poutine is one of the best!
Unfortunately does not deserve a good review. Staff were friendly, but the food was very much below par. Meat was served out of a bucket, meaning the kebab was cold, overpriced and small for the money. If you are from the UK and reading this, dont expect a standard UK style giant kebab, you will be disappointed.
The food was amazing, the atmosphere and service were nice.
Too much condiment and the chicken gave me diarrhea
I order from here few times a month on door dash and almost ever time the done give me a special sauce dip with my spicy Fries so I started paying for extra sauce and last 2 time they didnt give and side sauce not one I paid for or the one that should come with it and I dont really care for the fries with out so to garbe they go they need to start checking there orders before sending out cu soon I will stop ordering from there
It will fill you with satisfaction
Hands down the best donair shop! Meat is juicy and tender and you ll fall in love with all their unique sauces plus the spicy fries are to die for! Staff are super friendly. 10/10
One of the female members of staff lost control of her emotions and became distastefully rude after being informed that she made a mistake taking my order.
Oh my God you have to get a jumbo beef Donaire with onions tomatoes when garlic in tzatziki sauce say hi to Ray
Awful service, donair was impossible to eat way too much sauce on it. Not cool...
I eat here regularly, the staff are always friendly and professional, make the food quickly and it s always great! Highly recommend the spicy fries or the beef donairs with extra beef, and the secret sauce is a must try. Priced slightly higher than average fast food but you really do get what you pay for in terms of quality/freshness.
Closed 30min earlier than they were supposed to
First few times I went here the donair was actually pretty good but the last few times I ve been it s been one of the worst donairs I ve ever had! The meat is dry and sitting in a heating tray for god knows how long. Veggies are sad too. Last but not least the girl working there, which is clearly a child and wasn t taught manners or respect because ever question asked to her is answered back with sarcasm and rudeness as if she hates her life and job, we ll not my problem! Maybe hire a new face of your company if you cared about business for said company fyi smh such a sad place, absolutely do not recommend.
Best donair place, and even better service! Highly recommend!
I got nothing. Was very hungry and was wanting a donair. I did my research via Google and saw Subcity Donair. As I was only 5 minutes away and it was only 8:10 I thought why not, they close at 9. Got to the restaurant by 8:15 and was told by the staff they were in fact closed. Not overly happy that this happened as I was very much looking forward to having one of their highly rated donairs. To the owner this is highly unacceptable and should not be tolerated. If you are going to post hours dont close 45 minutes early. I am her husband and my name is Wade.
Cannot have worse things to say about this place from the attitude filled staff who will argue with you over their mistakes, terrible dry overpriced donairs and constantly messing up orders 4/5 times we have ordered with 0 remorse there could not possibly be a worse donair spot. Originally from Edmonton I have eaten at LOTS of different donair spots and will say subcity is by far in the top 3 worst. I could go on for hours about issues with this place including what seemed to be the owner swearing and talking up quite the brag game about how he s the boss and can reign hell on any location whenever he wants to while we sat and waited while the other guy smoked in the back room half hanging out the back door with all the smoke blowing back in. I wish I could leave negative stars.
Best of the best
Got a falafel from them with hardly any falafel in it. The dude making the sandwich had the audacity to put a couple of falafel pieces in my sandwich and then proceed to press on them to make them look like more right before my eyes. Why act so cheap when youre charging $15 for a sandwich.
Great food, great staff
The donairs are sooo good! Owners/staff are always friendly, especially Ray & Mike
Best donairs in town!
best donair in town the beef and chicken is soo tasty i will be back for sure.
A nice and easy meal from the most friendly folks.
Great service Amazing food .. quality for the money
They have THE BEST fries. Seriously, delish food. Love this place
Worst meal I ve had in a while and expensive. Absolutely filthy inside the shop as well. Stay clear.
Food tastes great. Good place for a quick, cheap and balanced meal.
Great donair and great people working behind the counter. Service is fast and friendly. Glad this is close to my office. I will return.
So good. I like that they have a variety of sauces
Revolting. The dude clearly misunderstood and Gabe me something with BBQ sauce and it was so vomit inducing I had to throw the whole thing away. SOME WHITE PEOPLE LIKE JUST DONAIR MEAT MAN. Complete waste of money. Im so upset.
This place is good. the food was good, the guys working on shift were chill, and it was actually decently priced.
They always do a great job. Super friendly staff.
Omg the chicken strips were amazing!!.. also love the spicy fries and secret sauce!... Yum!
Awsome and friendly staff, best donair in town
Great food, huge portions! The spicy fries must try. They could improvise the indoor dining area.
Best donair in town .
Best donairs downtown! Great portions to go with great service!
Good food and a great place to get a bite and relax on Bernard Ave.
Friendly staff, delicious food
Great place!
I m not sure what the one Karen is talking out in the 1 star review? The staff are so kind and friendly, and I have to say it would be hard to beat a better donair, it was so delicious! I will definitely be going back!
First rate service, foods great
Very pleasant stuff and the best Donair!
Always great food and the spicy fries are my favorite fries!
excellent Donaire, fresh. friendly staff
No one was at the store during operating hours and the doors were locked with no signs as to why. Hopefully our next visit it s open during listed hours and we can enjoy the delicious food
Best donairs in kelowna
Great downtown food at a great price... what is more to say. Staple!
Great food!! Highly recommend
Small bones in the chicken salad wasnt expecting it and did not taste good at all
The staff was rude and food wasnt fresh. The meat was hard and difficult to eat. Wont be coming here again!
Great food and great guys run the place.
Very good food
Best fires in town
Good bang for your buck. Chicken is deadly good. Would recommend.
Best value for your money. Better than pita pit by far! Bartered fries are good too, they put a cheesy powder on top
Food was really good. The only way to pay was cash, idk if their machine was down or thats the case everyday. We dined in but couldnt sit there for long cuz of the smell (burnt oil).
Delicious donairs and kind, professional service.
Its Christmas Eve and I just ordered a Falafel and a chicken donair for my son. The food is to die for the service even better. the true gentleman working there had such a great sense of humour they all mostly made our day! Will definitely be back
Love that they have veggie options with the falafel! Super yum.. also they have the best fries!! Even if you dont like donairs I would go there just to try those out. Staff is so friendly and very efficient.
Fast service very personable happy people and good food.
Fantastic! Really good food!
The food is great. The prices are better. But the fact that they treat you like family when you walk in is best of all.
Everything is great, but they make what is arguably the best poutine in town.
Best fries in town! Food is always tasty and service is prompt.
Yummy falafel, fast service.
Awesome service, awesome food, best conair Ive ever had and some of the friendliest food service Ive received
Best chicken donair I ve ever had. PERIODT.
BEST chicken donair ever.
Great food and great staff, always a pleasure to go there
Went on a busy Friday night. Staff were hard working, friendly, and delivered fast quality service with a smile.
Great food.
Best spicy fries in town. Good prices. Pretty good wrap job depending who you get overall a good option when youre hungry
Great food. All the locations of Kelowna are equally good.
Just ad good as it was a decade ago. First time Ive been back since they were up by orchard park and the food is just as good as it was back in the day. Beef cooked perfectly and the selection of veggies and sauces is amazing. Prime quality lunch destination.
Always a deadly good donair. But the donair poutines are delightful super filling lots of meat and well worth the price highly recommend
The donair was okay, kinda on the salty side. Tried the beef one, maybe the chicken one would be better.
Decent beef donair that hits the spot if you re looking for a quick bite!
Best donairs anywhere. Also try the spicy fries
Worst place ever. It is expensive and small dishes. On top of that it wasn t tasty at all.
Absolutely loved this place! Wonderful fresh ingredients! The guys running this place have great sense of humor.
I would come here in a heartbeat any day for a delicious meal, and when you get to chat with the owner (Mike) who is an absolute gem, it just makes the experience that much better. Keep up the awesome work!
Exceptional atmosphere of kind individuals offering always amazing service. Always a delight going into this establishment. Definitely recommend and food is always fantastic
good food, fast service.
Pretty good falafel donairs and the service is usually friendly. I make a point of going here once in a while. Everyone loves their decadent, crispy fries. I only wish they had more interesting veggie toppings for the donairs and something less sugary to drink.
Veggie donair is always good. Veggie are always fresh. Spicy fries are awesome. So is the secret sauce. Only complaint is if its a busy time of day and you order anything like fries or onion rings you will have to wait as they have a small single fryer.
Subcity donair is greatest donair in world. Basha donair is not anywhere near the quality of the subcity.
Tried a few donair places lately. Gotta say this one was the best. The food was fresh and the fries are hands down the best in town. Really friendly staff. Overall was a great experience not like basha donair where I was given terrible service and low quality food.
Best place to eat, best fries, best donairs, superb customer service, the whole deal!!! 110/100
Though the donair they serve is very filling and delicious, the staff in the outlet ruins it. Me and my friends visited the outlet today evening and for some reason, the lady at the counter didnt really want us there and making faces when we were going through our order.
Great service. Food was amazing as always. Cost was a bit pricy when compared to other restaurants though. (Donair /fries /drink=~20$ after a tip.)
Their beef donair is so good but careful with the jumbo because it will fall apart on you
Been coming here for a few years and food is always good. Love the fries and deep fried pickles. Always nice for something a littler different.
I normally love the donair poutine and think its the best poutine in town, but I ordered one from Skip the Dishes and it sucked. There were hardly any fries at all, the toppings were scarce, and there was barely any tzatziki. Nothing but great experiences in person, it feels like they dont give a damn if youre not right in front of them.
Friendly fast and delicious!
Have never been so incredibly dissapointed about a food item in my life. No basic garlic sauce, no hummus, no pickled turnips, and was made with all the chicken alone at the bottom with all the veggies on top. It made me so homesick for a descent shawarma. Would never go back again for a sandwich. The fries were really good....not garlic potatoes but still good. The staff was really friendly and the place was clean, So feel a little bad about giving a bad review..but so dissapointing. Even the chicken was seasoned strangely and was very dry. Definelty not arabic. Felt like going to pita pit, nothing really special. The special sauce just tastes like honey mustard. It was all just strange. I also found it to be pretty expensive, in Ottawa you get a refular shawarma (beef or chicken) , garlic potatoes and a drink for 8$. I know Kelowna is more expensive in general....but still.
Nice
Delicious donairs amazing flavors
Best fries in town (spicy fries with secret sauce) and the beef donairs are always top notch. Friendly staff, always great service!
Delicious!
Very busy and people love it but I just dont like it.
The donaire is spicier
Wraps were good not the plate.
Food looks great!
love this place!
Tastes amazing. The staff are so good. Meat are not halal but tastes really good.
Had a chicken salad, it was great. Fresh ingredients and great sauce. Fantastic staff as well....
Best donairs around and the downtown staff are always super great!
Wow. The best
Excellent heating and air conditioning repair service
Subcitys always a great treat, and their fries are to dieee forrr.
Cant beat subcity! Always friendly, prices are good, dont be silly, get the secret sauce and fries!
I am honestly baffled as to why people actually enjoy the donairs here. They are not donairs. The meat is completely bland - tasting like the inside of a Superstore Rotisserie chicken. I am pretty sure the shawarma spit is just there for decoration. In addition, the donairs are totally lacking in the donair essentials, such as proper garlic sauce, hummus, tabouli, roasted potatoes, etc. The wrap I got was just a soggy, drippy, and tasteless mess. I still gave Subcity Donair another chance after that, but sadly my second experience here was just as terrible. It honestly is more suitable to describe the donairs here as a Subway sandwich. Subcity Donair really gives donairs everywhere a bad name. There are way better donairs out in the world, please do not think all donairs taste like this.
This used to be the best subcity in town. Im not sure if they sold the location. But my last few visits during the evening have been met with sloppy, oversauced donairs with very soggy lifeless veggies. PLEASE GET BACK TO WHAT YOU ONCE WERE. Aka the BEST donair in town.
Best spicy fries in town
The food was great. The service was quick and the staff friendly. The only downside is price. It is by far the most expensive fast food weve ever experienced as a young family of 4!! We probably wont ever return for that reason alone unfortunately.
Awesome food
Fast, clean, healthy. Great tasting donairs. Highly recommended!!!
Their fries are a must try.
Best
The taste was good..but very little meat but huge amount of fries
Good, cheap food
Cheap meals that taste great and fill you up. Excellent service from each staff member.
Excellent fast food and service!
Donairs are extremely good, almost as good as Halifax donairs.
Yummy food
aswom place love the boys there
Donair friendly staff
Tried the beed shawerma and falafel 4/5 for beef shawerma 3/5 for falafel Friendly staff
Only the beef is Halal . It was ok . The bread was a little a bit hard and the beef was cold . The spicy fries were tasty
Very friendly staff and good food!
Absolutely amazing everytime Thank you for always going the extra step to ensure a great eating experience Thanks for recommending the sesame sauce my donair was awesome
Fricken good food. Little pricey.
Donair taste is bad, salty and overcooked.
Perfect in every way. Great tasting donairs and very clean environment
Best place for donairs in Kelowna.
Excellent food and super great service. The owners and staff are great!
Pretty good! Sub fries are a must!
The staff were very nice and friendly but the food had no taste
Always love the regular chicken donair with extra chicken
Love this place! Quality ingredients and excellent staff.
Friendly staff and pretty good food! Sometimes the Donaire meat could be fresher.
Good food, beef is halal, fries are delicious
BEST fries! !
Such great food and staff.. they were so kind to us tonight and worked hard to give us a great experience! We were very impressed with how they handled us and other customers. We will definitely come back for more donairs and cookies!
Love the food
Great service and fresh ingredients. A lot of sauces options! Not too expensive
4 stars for great tasting subs and donairs...fifth star for the hard working nice lady who despite having a tough day served fantastic food. As per the owner/lady chicken and beef are halal
Best spot for a donair in Kelowna. (from a Local)
Back in the early 90s my mom moved from New Brunswick and brought with her the sweet sauce recipe. When the brothers opened a subcity out here, my mom had to have her perfect donair, so she shared the secret with these guys. It is awesome to see this store maintain the delectable quality since I was a little girl - seasoned meat, carved as you watch, put on a pita, covered in cheese, with a thick layer of sweet sauce, and all the fresh vegis....mmmm...
Hands down best Poutine I have ever had.
Our meal here was supremely disappointing. We ordered a jumbo donair that was pretty small, the meat was from a warming container and was dry and the pita was hard. They also charged us extra for a bottle deposit, I have never seen a restaurant charge extra for bottle deposit. I dont know if sub city donair is a franchise or single owner but I wont eat at this location again.
Super friendly staff and the food is always amazing. Spicy fries are to die for.
Nice small location, very friendly staff
