Enjoyed every bit of it... I am going to drop by again

Tomato and greens were rotten, hope I will survive today without poisoning. Chicken obviously has few days taste as cardboard. Can’t understand how people scored 5. Because big and cheap???? One of the shawarma net has huge problems in Calgary already.

King Donair has been here forever and the Donairs are huge and delicious. I highly recomend this place, 50st. Downtown Red Deer.

Seriously the BEST Donaire that I have EVER HAD!! Fresh ingredients, and guaranteed no pork!!!! The owner is such a courteous gentlemen and was so thoughtful with all of my dietary needs!!! We will be back as often as possible!!!

I can't be mad with the shawarma because it was pretty cheap, But the shawarma was a barely wrapped pita bread and it was definetly heavier on the vegetables than the meat. The Chicken shawarma was also pretty cold and generally did not enjoy nor finish the wrap. The owner is a very nice man so I wish him well. Saj bread would add a nice texture to the wrap, would make it easier to wrap tightly and would allow heat to transfer better to the ingredients.

Been coming here for years, chicken shwarma is delightful, beef is pretty decent too. 👌 owner is great, perhaps the City engineers should work on better parking, other then that 100% will continue returning.

We ordered a couple donairs and then walked over to pick up, since we are also a downtown business. Convenient! Food was awesome as usual! Good value. Good service. tip: We always get a mix of the garlic and the sweet sauce

Easily the best donair place in town. Been going here for years.

December 22, 2023

Came in and ordered a few donairs. The pictures inside showed mozzarella cheese on the donairs. I ordered extra cheese on both. When I got a look at him preparing it, he had put processed cheese that were single wrapped on them. I told him this is not what I was paying for and assumed it was mozzarella from his advertising. He told me it would be fine. Few minutes later I returned to work with my bosses donairs and they ended up throwing them in the garbage. I understand wanting to save money but please dont false advertise We wont return but dont want to discourage others. The owner in really nice but please dont false advertise

I ordered medium chicken shawarma and the the chicken taste terrible , looks that the skewer was there for a while! The price for medium size was 12 dollars which is really high for that size and quality. I will never buy gain!

Very friendly workers who make it enjoyable to be there. Chicken is very moist. Vegetables are fresh. I found the chicken shawarma wrap to be too bland with not enough tzatziki sauce. My friend somehow got offered bonus pickled turnips in her shawarma but I did not get that option. 3 different sizes of shawarma wraps to choose from with about $1 difference between the sizes.

I thought I had entered the cave of wonders cause this place is a hidden gem. The shawarma was just spicy enough without being overbearing, the chicken was more tender than a birthday card from grandma, and the service was more helpful and friendly than Santa. Well definitely be returning.

Stopped in here for lunch with my wife and son. We arrived at 1145 so there was no lineup and we were served quickly. The man behind the counter was friendly. The prices seemed to be on-par with other donair places. I got a large beef donair, and it did seem a little smaller than what I would expect for a large, but it was very tasty. The bathroom could use a little TLC but overall the place was clean. I would eat here again.

They have absolutely amazing samosas. Also the service there is excellent. They deffinitely notice if you are a returning customer and have give in me samples and discounts in the past. The restaurant could use a better decor, but thats not why I go there. So, for great service and samosas, this is the place to go.
