I have been here a few times now. The Donairs are the best I’ve ever had. Every Donair is completely full you the point that I can’t close it. The people are phenomenal there are so personable. I love them and the food. When we leave my wife always says I can die happy now. I can not recommend them enough.
I know it comes down to personal preference but I think these are the best donairs in Sherwood Park. Comes in three sizes with three sauce options. First time I ordered the middle sized option and like a glutton, I finished it. But the regular sized one is more than enough for me. Has always been busy at lunch so get there early or be prepared to wait a bit. I think it is also very good value for money which is a rare find nowadays.
The food here is always so so good. The Crispy Chicken Cheese Burger is absolutely delicious and massive. My husband and I share one burger cut in half and it fills us both, along with some delicious fries of course. Delicious food and great price. Really can't beat it!
This spot is a little hidden gem. I have never had an order that wasn’t delicious. My favourite part about this place though … is the owner. You can just tell he loves his business and appreciates all his customers… he always goes above and beyond every time with a smile on his face. Oh and, the portion sizes are big.. not like most places these days.. my husband is always happy, full and has left overs! Thank you for being so great and delicious!
This Donair is unbelievable... The best I've ever had! The Donair sauce is to die for. Might not want to take a "first date" here as you will have sauce from ear to ear. Staff makes you feel like family. Great fries too!
Famous has been on my donair bucket list for a while now, and I finally pulled the trigger and stopped in for lunch. Boy was I not disappointed. I ordered a super donair with cheese. When my order was dropped off at my table, I was astounded at the sheer size of the donair. I typically have no issues with enjoying a super donair at other establishments, but I had serious thoughts about tapping out with this one. Aside from the enormous portion, the donair was absolutely delicious. The meat was very flavourful, and the sweet sauce was very tasty. I asked if that was the typical size for the super donairs, and they said yes. I went on to ask how big was a jumbo donair and was informed that it has nearly 2.5lbs of meat! I'll definitely return again in the future, but will order a regular size from now on.
There are 2 excellent Donair shops in Sherwood Park and this is one of them. I eat here every month or so and have a basic Donair with Taziki sauce. The sweet sauce goes well too. Depends on your preference. The portion is massive and messy for $10.80. Could feed two people, but difficult to share a Donaire. Obviously fresh because they shave it off right in front of you, and you can eat in at basic cafe style tables. Usually has Sportsnet on, and always steady stream of customers which testifies to the quality
BEST place for donairs, burgers, fries and so much more!!!!! Nick is incredibly awesome - he knows how customers so well and is always so happy to see you and will chat to you and make you feel like family. The food is always so damn good! Always so hot and fresh. The portions are huge too! My go to is the breaded cheese for burgers, Donair Salads, Lebanese Cheese Rolls... I could go on 😂😂😂
Best donair Ive had in a long time. I had a super donair and chocolate milk. All in for $17 and the portions were huge!
Hands down the best Donair in the park !!!
Chicken was ok but the pita was very thick and not toasted or grilled
Best donair Ive ever had!
Absolutely amazing food, staff is very attentive too
A lot of meat. But was very difficult to eat. The wrap didn t wrap all of the meat. Recommend toppings don t taste great. Beef tasted alright.
The crispy potatoes and gravy were so delicious! Great as usual and big portions.
The staff was great. I ordered a jumbo chicken something for lunch. It was so filling i didnt eat until the following day. Unreal grub
We practically tried all the chicken shawarma restaurants in Sherwood Park. This, has so far been, the best tasting chicken shawarma, ever since. Staff is great as well.
Best donair that I have had in a long time. Super friendly service! Highly recommend.
Biggest donair of my life. Was delicious to boot!
Very tasty donair. The regular with cheese was quite big and worth the price. Deep fried pickles were ok, not worth the price increase though. Went up a buck to $9.25. Crispy cheddar burger is a great burger. Gooey cheese oozing all over. Had the combo with fries and could barely finish everything.
That s a place need to be at every week once, it s a proffessionL taste plus the big portion : generous .. and perfect pricing .. isn t this what we all look for !
Got the sml Deluxe Poutine and man what a huge portion. Gravy and sweet sauce were great and the fries were very crispy. Will definitely be back. Great value and you leave full.
Vegetarian options: They have falafel too Food
There are lots of great donair shops around the Edmonton area and I ve tried almost every one. Famous Donair in Sherwood Park is the best and it s not even close. If you re in the mood for a great donair make your way to Sherwood Park, you won t leave disappointed! Highly recommend!
This place is amazing, first time ordering here was not a disappointment. It was a bit of a wait because its just so busy. Everyone in the park knows this is the donair place to go. But it was worth the wait! Food was amazing. Service was next level, a donair was left out of the bag and when I called they not only told me how sorry they were it missed getting in the bag they actually delivered to my place. This is the ONLY donair place you should be going!
Fast friendly service. Onion rings were the best I have had in quite a while. Beef Donair with sweet sauce was sooo tasty. Thank you.
Portion sizes are generous! Friendly staff
We wanted something different and man was it good! I had a gyro salad and onion rings and hubby had gyro combo with fries. Portions were super generous. We should have split something. Garlic sauce is amazing too.
I have been too famous donair multiple times and I have never been disappointed.. Always a great donair Food
My new favorite Donair place, even has pickled turnips for my donair.
Nick is the best.
Regular donair with cheese and all the toppings was awesome! Next time Ill try the Jumbo
By far the best donair in Sherwood Park! Many loyal customers! Im heading there right now to grab a Donair... Lol! Great staff, and overall great food. Nothing on the menu will disappoint you. Give them a try if you havent already.

Best donair in Sherwood park and great staff, well worth the stop.
I d never had a Donair till I moved out west a few years ago. Since then I ve tried A LOT of places. None compare, quality, QUANTITY and consistency. Without question the most bang for your buck. Owner is almost always there and extremely personable. Staff is great too. Wife love the chicken Donair. Daughter loves the burger with deep fried cheese and says they have best fries EVER. I drive across the Park for this place. Cheers!!
Best donair in Sherwood park . Super is huge . Fresh . Def recommend

Love love the donairs!
Great food, great prices, great service.
Best Donair place ever! The staff who work here are amazing.
Best donair around
Easily one of the best donairs in the Edmonton area, rivals Swiss as the best in the city from the many Ive tried. Portions are big, flavor is perfect, and the ownership is friendly.
Nick from Famous Donair catered a fantastic meal at our church for a donair and hockey night. Incredible food and a great guy and much more than just donairs. Thanks Nick!
Just had the crispy mozzarella burger for the first time. It was amazing, every ingredient was fresh. The bun is fresh, the special sauce is perfectly seasoned. Unique in every way. It s a Large Burger. Very reasonable price. I ll be back for more! DR
Excellent food I had the chicken burger and donair and Waaoo. Great taste
One of the best Donair Places in Sherwood Park. Staff is always polite and the food is made quick. Have gone here many times and the meal is always the same, with tasty meat and toppings. Recommend if you are out there trying different Donair places, on my top five in the Edmonton area.
This is the best place to buy a donair in Sherwood Park . The quality is amazing, and the portions are simply fenomenale. Each time I go there, I am never disappointed. The owner is a great guy, and the customer service is second to none. I had ordered fries and changed my mind. They changed it to poutine, no problem. I had paid , and the owner told me it was ok. Next time, I will leave a big tip. Just good food, good portions and a a great owner who knows what customers expect. Parking: There is a lot of parking.
Great service and the Garlic sweet sauce most excellent give it a try if you like garlic!
A must stop for a donair when you re in Sherwood Park. Parking: Lots of free parking Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, easy access for wheelchairs and ample parking
Very fresh food. Amazed with the taste after a long time. Great place to eat. Definitely will visit again and again.
Nick and his donair are the best!!
The food is really good
Hospitality is wonderful! Food is awesome!
Weve been a few times now, great every time. Mushroom burger and crispy cheese chicken burger are next level amazing. The donair and lebanese tawouk are fantastic too. Everything is house made and the service has always been great.

I ve been going to Famous Donair for years. Best place in the province for a great donair. You don t be disappointed!
Nick does it right every time. Must stop by whenever you can.
Excellent beef donair and fries. My teen son got a chicken donair and enjoyed it. We will be back for sure to try more things from the large menu. Vegetarian options: They had falafel Parking: Parking is ok Kid-friendliness: Kids would enjoy the food
Awesome Donairs and they Re freaking huge
Delicious!
Absolutely delicious donair, tawouk, onion rings and poutine! It had been a few years since Id been, and we went tonight. So, so, sooo good. Best donair shop in Edmonton and area! Youve got to try it! Excellent, friendly service and my 8 year old was absolutely in awe with the smells, sights, and cheerful interior. Kid-friendliness: My daughter LOVED it here, she wants to eat there everyday!
Best Donairs in the Edmonton area, the staff is always friendly and have great customer service. The doniar portion sizes make you feel like you get value for your dollar, fresh ingredients and the sweet sauce is top tier. Have recommended to a few friends and they agree, the best theyve had in ages if not the best in Edmonton. Couldnt recommend this place enough 5/5 Parking: Decent sized parking lot with lots of space. Kid-friendliness: Just like any diner/ donair shop, kids enjoy the fried food.
I have never been so I asked the man who was taking my order what was the most popular since I couldnt make up my mind. He said everything is and I usually dont believe someone when they say that but I definitely believe him!! I went with the Lebanese Tawook wrap and I wish I would have just gotten the large. It was sooo good!! Enjoyed every last little bit. Next time I am in the area I am stopping in.
Best Donair in sherwood park, the new reno looks nice
Poutine isnt as great as it was before. Not sure if its cheese curds or not because its almost liquide, sauce isnt bad, frys are good. But the cheese... I actually kept saying to people it was a great place for poutine, i know for a fact last time i had a poutine there was WOW.
Best donair I ever had will be back
Top notch, all around. Come try this place.
Love this place! The Donairs are amazing and now the bloomin onion! Yes Yes Yes.
Sooooo delicious Yammy ... Fantastic plates, superb service from every staff member. Friendly owner, lovely food ,fast service. We will be back.
Excellent food!
The best donairs around
Great donairs. Makes them how you like them and good portions
You wont go hungry
The best donair salad and donair hands down! Next time we want to try this chicken sandwich everyone is raving about. Delicious food and great customer service!
Puts every other donair to shame, and run by the nicest people youll ever meet. Newly renovated dining room looks great too.
Best donairs in Sherwood Park. Very clean. Amazing staff. Vegetarian options: Veggie options Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly Kid food options
Great donair shop. Clerks are all friendly and food tastes great. Portions are pretty big as well.
Famous Donair is the best. Was down there today with my brother had some Donairs for lunch and the fried pickels. Everything was amazing as usual. Ordered an extra order of Pickles to go, it slipped through the cracks and they just gave it to us for free when we were heading out. Offered to pay but they said no, all good. Amazing service, they didnt need to do that, but they did. Will be back again, want to try the crispy cheese chicken burger. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly lots of options and the staff are very friendly to kids.
Nice when you are recognized as a customer ....highly recommend
awesome food great prices
.....there is a reason its named this.
Awesome food, best chicken burger in town!. Guys working are always extra accommodating. A truly great local restaurant to have in the area!
Amazing Donair!!!
Nicks still the top dog in town!
Best donair in Alberta
Best food in Sherwood Park. Best burgers and donairs. Very friendly staff
Amazing food! My husband loves the donairs and their falafel is also incredible. On a side note, my 3 year old daughter needed to use the restroom when we were at the park across the street one day. No one in the entire complex would let us use theirs. We walked into Famous Donair, I m sure looking pretty desperate, and they just said of course! We didn t even have to ask. That type of kindness is so appreciated. I will be telling everyone about this place!
Best donairs around.
They have the best deep fried pickles in all of Sherwood Park and Edmonton that I ve tried, and a great donair / donair poutine. Really fast and friendly :)
Lacking a bit on restaurant cleaning, but the meals we had were second to none. The gentleman who served us was kind of warm and assuring the food was made to perfection, and the way we wanted it tweaked. Bravo, the food was good and it wont break the bank,wish they had an eye friendly menue only complaint.
The best! Portions are large and fresh! They work quickly to keep lineups moving along. And you aren t just another person here. Go in a second time, I bet you will be surprised how Nic will remember you, what you ordered and pick up your conversation where you left off last time! He just closed down and re-did the place. Tables aren t always wiped (because they are busy taking orders), but this is still the cleanest donair please I have ever been. Great food and good prices as his portions are huge! Great service. An all around wonderful choice!
Mark my words, you wont find a better donair
Always amazing, food is awesome
Love this place!!
One of the absolute best. Jumbo is a JUMBO! You have been warned.
Good food Friendly staff Clean atmosphere Food : 5/5
I ve been going here for almost 20 years. I have yet to find a better donair anywhere! The staff is friendly and the food is always top notch!
The regular donair is as large as some places super donair; the pita doesnt even close. Its practically a taco with donair meat. The flavour is on point, lots of seating, 5 spits going, baseball on TV, what a space. Excellent overall donair. Mix the garlic and sweet sauce for the best donair of your life.
Yup ! Great donair
Great donairs!
I have never been disappointed in the 13 years Ive been coming here. Still the best tasting and largest portion in Edmonton.
Donair was quite large. No shortage of meat. Sweet sauce was good. Fries were super salty.
Absolutely the best falafel I have ever had! Super fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sweet sauce! 10/10, will most definitely be back!
Always a ton of tasty food!
I eat here probably every 2-6 weeks now, after a recommendation from a friend. I have no complaints about the service and their donairs are among the top three that Ive eaten. Would highly recommend! And the owner is super friendly, to boot!
Best donairs in Sherwood park
Amazing food! Will absolutely be back
Very great customer service! Skip didnt show up for my order so the guy working delivered my order himself. The portions and flavors have always been satisfying. I truly appreciate the kindest, over and above service they provided me.
Best Donairs Ive had and the Donair egg rolls and Lebanese cheese rolls are sooo good. Definitely recommend this place
Want sure what to expect, but this was the best Donair I have ever had. Is it fine dining? No, of course not, its a Donair place. Was the staff friendly? absolutely! Was the food good? No, it was fantastic! I drove 40 minutes and will do it again!
Amazing donair. Never heard of the place before will definitely be back
Best donair poutine! Great value! Amazing staff! 10/10 would recommend!
AMAZING food and fantastic service. I cannot recommend enough. Lebanese wrap is to die for. Garlic sauce is out of this world good. Huge portions. Do not miss out!
Worth the drive from the city! Donair was great! Cheese rolls were amazing! If you like mozzarella sticks these will blow your mind! Dessert was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. Come hungry! Very prompt service and very welcoming! Love the family feel here
Famous for a reason!
Been coming to this location for almost 2 decades now. Will probably still be coming here in 2 decades.
Great doniar, biggest sizes for the best price. Sweet sauce and tzatziki sauce are both amazing. Best donair in YEG. Solid 9.8
Excellent donair, I give it a 9.3 out of 10. Hands down the best bang for your buck for donairs in the Edmonton/Sherwood Park area (portions are huge). Consistently good every time.
Family owned and passionate about what they make. Amazing flavour, big portions and lots of variety on the menu!
Simple place with great donairs.
Nick is very personable, and remembers you and your order. Food is fantastic!
They have one of the tastiest donair I have had for a long time. Full of flavour. I am sure to come back for more. In addition to that, I had home made baklava which was awesome as well.
Everytime I go there I always get great service and respect and of course some awesome food.
I know everyone has a fav donair place but this really is the best one in the Edmonton area. Never disappoints. Very friendly owners and the place is always clean.
Excellent food and service
Best donairs in the greater Edmonton area by far. Always have sports on the TV and friendly guys making your food
Theres no words to describe how great this place is. I had the small beef donair poutine with sweet sauce, my girlfriend had the regular cheese donair with tzatziki sauce. We stayed in to eat and they served us with actual dishes, like in a restaurant. Unreal! The donair meat, easily the best Ive ever had. The fries were seasoned exceptionally and super crispy. It made for an amazing donair poutine, and I can honestly say I havent had one this good in my life. My girlfriends donair was great as well - I dont usually have tzatziki sauce too often, but this was the best I had ever tasted. This is our new favorite donair place!!!
Great portions, taste delicious, service is really friendly. Would recommend to everyone.
Good but not award winning at all sorry to say, and their award for best donair place In the city was 3 or so years ago, nothing as of recent. Best donair place ever was Jimmys donair on 50th streets but buddy closed down due to lack of business...He made the best poutines and all that!! I give this place 10/10 for their mozzarella cheese chicken burger though that thing was an absolute win!!
The owner is always so kind and takes care of everyone like theyre family. Even when ordering delivery through a 3rd party app, he goes above and beyond to rectify any mistakes. Tonight he made sure to drive to our apartment to drop off the drinks that the delivery driver had forgotten to take with him for our order. Amazing service and great food at great prices.
The best donairs in all of Sherwood Park!
This place is the best
Excellent food. The best pricing aswell.
Best donair place in town!
I order the Super Donair and its the best value with great tasting and you will enjoy the a full dinner with just one wrap. Beef is so juiciness and tender
Falafel is excellent!
Will never go anywhere else for a donair. Everything they make is out of this world
Best donair and crispy cheese chicken burger unbelievable!!! travelled from BC to come and try some again. The price is amazing, the taste gives you dreams of many returns. The staff know you by your name and are phenomenal. You have to try it be careful though it s out of this world.
Look out other Donair places. Finally some competition in town.
Top lad ..keep up the good work Micky...
Best place owner is really friendly amazing environment donair out of this world amazing options for other food.
Friendly environment, delicious food.
Absolutely incredible every time!!! This establishment values their customers and you can feel it!!! Food is always fresh and they most definitely take pride in their work. Almost the entire menu is made from scratch. This evening I tried their chicken fingers for the very first time.... outta the ball park!!! Awesome job guys, thank you for serving our community with such generous natures
Just had the crispy chicken burger and I would give 10 stars. Phenomenal!
Amazing food, just tried it for the first time. I will definitely be back!
The Lebanese cheese rolls are a must. I now get 2 orders just so one of them has a chance to make it home. Donairs are also awesome.
Love this place! Great food, friendly service, good people! Food is large portions and tastes great. Highly recommend.
Holy cow ... best donair I have had in a long time!
The food here is absolutely amazing! The donair and poutine my wife and I ordered were the the best we ever had!
When your from the east coast its hard to be impressed by a donair In Alberta until now . This place is bang on to the authentic. No shortage of meat or sauce and so incredibly well made.
Best donairs in Sherwood/edmonton.
The best restaurant beside his best donair I recommend to try his famous crispy cheddar and crispy chicken sooo yummy , friendly owner and restaurant is clean . Definitely the best in town
A friend of mine took me to this place, because its the best. It didnt disappoint, the owner is ridiculously friendly, theres no doubt he knows every regular that comes through the door! When in Sherwood Park and wanting a donair, I will be back
The food is amazing at Famous Donair!! Try the Donair Eggrolls! Youll be happy you did!
Delicious donair! Very generous with the portion, the store is very clean, and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. I went back to try other options on the menu, i ordered the chicken burger, and it is also worth trying! Very delicious and crispy!!
This place is clean and theyre food is delicious. 100% would recommend. Also prices are pretty decent for donairs and his selection. Chicken donairs here!!

Excellent Donairs! Really tasty! Friendy staff, fast service, well be coming back even if we move out of the neighbourhood!
Best donair around!
Never had a bad meal from famous. Absolutley amazing people and food!
Amazing food amazing service always smiling
Man at the till was being a butthead. I walked in and he insulted my boyfriend the entire time. Asked why my boyfriend wasn t paying for me, just because I held the credit card. My boyfriend had a broken hand. I went to take my food and the man at the till held the food away so I couldn t take it and made my boyfriend take it. I wish I said something but we were both in shock and just wanted our food. He seemed to think my boyfriend was being disrespectful to me?? He had no idea about who s payment card I held, or who we were. Sexism at its finest. Food was good but I ll not have my family treated that way ever again.
You can search the globe to find the best donair, but here it is right under your nose. Great service, unbelievable donairs!!! Great price. Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Good place to bring kids Wheelchair accessibility: Theres no stairs
Best donairs in Sherwood Park, maybe even In Edmonton !
Great Food and Great Staff
This is the place to get a great donair. Service is fast and the food is great.
We have been coming for years and we love this place. Owner is a terrific guy, who makes us always feel welcome. BTW Great new look!
Overall.... AMAZING!!!Large portion, fresh, and tremendous service!! Highly recommend!! Repeated service for years, and years to come!! Food : 5/5
Always fresh, friendly, healthy.
This place hands down the best donair salad I have ever had. To the point of recommendations from the chef for the tzatziki and garlic sauce mixed! So, so EXCELLENT! You can tell they take pride in the food they serve! Don t waste your time going elsewhere in Sherwood Park!
