Excellent local spot for delicious donairs. Mostly, you order your food and go, but there are two plastic tables and some chairs at the front. I stop by for lunch whenever I need to pick something up from Royal City Mail.

I loved the donair. We got the lamb and it was yummy. Definitely one of the better ones I’ve had. The guy who runs the place is friendly, and I was told he has been around for a couple of decades. There is no sitting - you are served through a window. The menu on a screen and his entire operations can be seen clearly through the window. I am definitely coming back!

Tastiest donair shop in the neighbourhood. Really liked the donair and went there twice in a week. The bread was soft and the chicken was juicy. Highly recommend the shop. Keep up the good food quality. Best wishes

Decent chicken plate. Rice could have done with some seasoning. Processed beef/lamb idk I stay away and store bought pita not baked fresh. Sauces were good and salad dressing nice. No seating hole in the wall.

Delicious taste and fresh chicken. I enjoyed it. My advice to owner is to make it lil more spicy and add lil higher quantity of tzatziki in shawarma. Fresh tzatziki in good quantity tastes delicious in combination with other ingredients in a shwarma

This is honestly the go-to place in BC for donairs, plates, everything is amazing and for Mediterranean food in general. I don t know how he does it but Afar is the the best. I ve been going here since I was a kid with my father. The food has always been amazing, same with the amazing service, everything. It s so worth it! Stop by say hi to him he s such a nice guy! Honestly if you have never tried this kind of food he s the guy to try it at. After the meal you re always craving more. It s sooo good!

i call it the Hole in the Wall, because its just this tiny shop with a pick up window only. The food is FANTASTIC, and the guy inside is always friendly and hard working. Parking is a bit annoying thanks to the City of New Westminster removing it from infront of his store, but there is a small lot behind the building you can park in. I recommend the Lamb!

As a 40-year local and avid donair enthusiast, I highly recommend this place. It rivals the classic donairs from Mr. Sandwichs era. Im there twice a week, and the owner starts my order as soon as I arrive. Its often ready before I reach the counter. Opt for beef with extra hot sauce and regular white sauce its a must-try.

★★★★★

One of the best shawarma experience I had so far in New West. I had chicken shawarma platter with rice. The chicken was so juicy and tender and cooked perfectly. I loved the hummus. It was so flavourful. The rice was outstanding too. The platter comes with pita bread. The platter was not overly spiced, everything was perfect. This is a local business and you won t regret after having a meal here. The prices are decent. MUST TRY ..

I used to live in New West 5 years ago and I still think of this place. I miss the dude and his politeness. Such a great man. Im tempted on going for a 3 hour trip just to have 2 donairs. One when I arrive and one on the ride back home. 10/10 best donairs in New West.

★★★★★
December 22, 2021

I ve tried Donair from coquitlam, burnaby, Vancouver, even Donair in west Van, and I have to say none of them will ever compare to this place right here. The sauces he uses our out of this world, as well as the meat is so well cooked it savoure in your mouth, I wish there were more words I could use to define what I mean, would definitely reccomend coming here, also the guy is very funny and nice if you love football aka Soccer when you ll have great conversations with him

Been coming here for 10+ years so its only right I leave this review. The sauce on the donair plates is otherworldly to be honest. Just packed with flavour. Ill usually get the sauce by itself and use it in other meals. The meat, hummus, pita, and salad are all very good as well and just the cherry on the top.

The portions of meat in the donair is a good amount, more than most places I go to. The meat is very tasty, but also very greasy. Some will like that, some not. Prices are fairly cheap and consistent with the other donair places up the street. I still prefer the other one up the street, but theres nothing wrong with this one and I would happily eat here again.

My chicken donair tasted fresh. It was delicious and wrapped nicely. Cheap too - at only $6.85 for a regular sized chicken donair. There are two small round tables outside. I would recommend Mediterranean Donair House, without a doubt, to anyone wanting a donair as a pick-me-up.

Friend thought the sauce was sub par and ketchup like but I thought it was fine. Spinach pie was microwaved which I was hoping they had some technique going where they put it in the mini oven after and it was perfectly balanced and good but it turned out even with the mini oven finish that it was soggy from the microwave and essentially destroyed.

$9.50 for a mixed large donair. The guy literally put in 90% beef and 10% chicken - not very mixed at all. Also, the large was the same size as most regular sizes at other locations. The only toppings available were tzatziki, hot sauce, lettuce, onions, tomatoes. Other locations offer a ton more toppings. The main two toppings missing in my opinion are hummus and cucumbers. The donair tasted good, but for the reasons above it only deserves 2 stars. Definitely over priced.
