Due to COVID-19 pandemic, our hours have been reduced to 11-9 for the foreseeable future, and we have transitioned to take out only. Thank you for your understanding.
This was my first donair. My husband talks about how good donairs are and how sometimes he craves them and now I know why. The veggies were fresh and complimented the sauce and meat. The poutine was bigger then I expected and was very filling and delicious.
The food was so good and the portion sizes for the price you pay are fantastic! I never knew of this place and took my kids there...what a great value and everything was prepared fresh and was piping hot. There is not a lot of seating, but it's a smaller space, so that's to be expected and certainly didn't determine us from staying to enjoy our donairs. We will be back for sure and highly recommend anyone who hasn't tried it to go there today!
Best donair spot in St.Albert hands down! The meat is properly seasoned, the sweet sauce is on point, the service is super fast with friendly staff, and the portions are exceptionally generous. Dollar for dollar nothing else compares. Stop reading reviews and go get one!
Still using a knife instead of the electric shaver. This donair is king with thick uneven slices for the best of tastes . Only donair place I'll come to
Best donairs I've had in awhile. I've been here many times staff is always awesome and the food is great as well.
I usually don't like giving bad reviews but this place is by far the worst place I have ever eaten at. Firstly the female cashier was extremely rude. Just because you have a bad day does not mean you have to take it out on customers. I noticed she has done that with other customers as well. She also did not acknowledge that there was literal HAIR in my food. I tried to be understanding but all she said was that it was just a common(??) mistake. If that is common, why haven't any of you done anything to change it? I asked for her name for a reference and she said it was Elham. I'm not sure if that is how you spell it but please do better training of your workers because the attitude i witnessed is unacceptable. I'm still waiting for a response through email so I can give them a second chance yet there is nothing even though it has been a week from now. And if this behavior continues then I wish this store has the best of luck because this will not go well in the future.
My favourite donair spot in St. Albert. Portions are generous, especially for the price point. Ingredients are fresh and the meat is very flavourful and tender. They are also very generous with the sauce upon request - which, in my books, is bonus points right there. Poutine fries is also so good. Service is always fast and friendly. Atmosphere is fast food - clean and no frills.
One of the tastiest and biggest donairs I've had, and I have tried many donair places. Was told by a coworker about this place how much meat they put in the donairs and he sure was right.
Great food and staff been going there and the old location for years!
Best, donaires and Donaire poutine Ive ever had exclamation
Im not a big fan of most donairs but theirs are good.
Best donairs and portion sizes hands down! Fantastic staff aswell!! My go to!
#1 Donair shop in the Edmonton area. Always great service, and better food!
Best Donair in St. Albert
Kind, generous and very nice atmosphere... the place smells so good and their donairs are PEAK.
Got the donair poutine and it was absolutely amazing!! Service is always friendly as well.
FOOD POISONING! Super disappointing as weve eaten here many times. Will not come back now. Do better simply Donair.
5 star Donairs. You won t find better in Edmonton and Area.
Best Donair to put it simply! Generous portions and very decently priced! We Have decided to make this place our Donair spot from now on!
Stopped in for donairs while travelling through. This was midway on an eight hour trip. Normally, we would just eat on the road but we hauled over in the parking lot to eat. The portions were generous, and everything smelled so good, we decided to stop and eat. It s a good thing we did I ended up dripping all over my shirt. The sauce was so good the donairs were awesome and the donair fries!!! Two of my boys got them and weren t able to finish the meal. We will definitely be back when we re travelling through again.
Love the place. Staff is amazing and food is great.
Delicious donair
Ordered a Donair Poutine and Chicken Donair. The poutine was amazing! The chicken Donair however was a little less than... Too much sauce and I chewed two hard bits in the chicken chunks. Ive had the regular Donair before and theyre great, just pass on the chicken.
Staff was pretty rude. I went back after a year to see if the food has gotten any better. I had some stomach issues again after eating. Wont be coming back here.
Never disappointing, so tasty, love all the staff, great family vibes . A Friday donair from simply is how you start a weekend right!
Good stuff.
I normally love this place and have had nothing but great food items from them over the last 2 years. Unfortunately last night/this morning I have food poisoning and been unable to sleep and while my body was at war with that. I purchased 15 minutes to close last night which like Im sure many do whove worked in food services, you try to avoid, but that shouldnt equate to now what Ive been through.
Great food and good sized portions.
The food tastes great, big servings, good prices and staff are very nice.
Very nice owner and very friendly staff the Donair is worth the price Very flavourful tasty and mouth watering donair Recommended dishes Beef Donair
I was walking past the store one day and I could smell the amazing food. I decided to stop in and was greeted by the smiles of the workers. I was going to get takeout but I saw the hockey game playing and a clean table, so I decided to stay. I ordered a donair combo with fries. The food was made with love and smelled outstanding. I could tell the staff cared lots about my experience. The combo portions were excellent and my plate was full. The donair and seasoned fries were incredible. Perfect to every standard. I was so happy and satisfied when I left. Since that day, I have gone back and the food and service was just as amazing, if not better than the first time. My new favorite donair shop. Thank you!!!
Best donair in the city! Donair poutine is 10/10
So glad we found the new location!! Everything was delicious and the people were friendly.
Love this place! I can t even count how many times we ve ordered from here and every single time it is delicious! Thank you guys so much :)
Best donairs in the edmonton area! Donair beef meat is delicious, ask for well done beef!!! Always worth the drive here
I always get Rice platter, its got whole bunch of donair meat on rice and salad. Although, their rice is hit and miss. Some days are good, some days are just not. Its either too soft and mussy or dry and crunchy...
I have had 2 poor experiences after years of loving this place and was left very disappointed. I went in and ordered a donair Salad only to get home and there was no lettuce isnt that the point of a salad not to eat a bowl of meat. I gave them another chance and once again ordered a donair salad this time on skip and got my order again with only a few pieces of lettuce and 99% meat and the wrong sauce. I called to explain this was the second time in a row explaining to the lady they forgot the lettuce for the salad again and put the wrong sauce and her answer was and what exactly is your problem with the salad. She had a terrible attitude and poor customer service and I wont be back. I asked if they could resend my salad as I just paid tip and delivery and she said no I have to go in if I want anything fixed . She obviously doesnt care about customer service.
Great donairs, one the five (5) best (along with the east side cousin) in the area. The chicken donair is the best around town in that category, with boneless thigh meat cooked to perfection. The owner is a great guy, working the shop with family help. Parking: Lots of parking
OMG, I go here at LEAST once/week, coming back into town from Wabamun. I am so in love w/their donairs it s almost reaching insanity ! Their Donair meat is the only thing, in 11 years, that my amazingly sweet dog will break the rules & get in trouble for! She knows she ll always get some beef, but sometimes she just can t wait, and helps herself Their staff know me very well, and always just point fingers asking 1 or 2 ! Love it. Love their food. Love them!
Best Donair in town, hands down.
Best donair hands down! You can watch them put it together in front of you, and the ingredients are always very fresh.
Fast service. Delicious food
Drove 15 minutes across the city and arrived at 9:40 to discover the place is closed. This has happened multiple times to me now otherwise I wouldn t have bothered with a review. If you can t stay open to the hours you ve listed then change your hours so myself and the other people that show up to discover this surprise, dont consider making a trip within business hours when there s a potential you might randomly decide to close early, when its much more logical to decide on a different place of business first.
Great food.. Awesome variety. But the girl working the counter - she had got to lighten up... Made me want to walk. And all I did was order some food. Sheesh
The best donair in St. Albert! Been going here for years, they always give you huge portions and are very laid back. The name says it all, simply donairs! Their donair poutine is amazing too, be warned their portions are seriously huge !
Love going here the food is great staff is nice and checks all the right boxes the servings are big I never leave hungry my go to spot.
Great food, good prices
My personal favorite donair place, Definitely my favorite St Albert donair place
We always order here in person. It s been great every time. It was our favourite donair place. NOT ANYMORE. Ordered an Uber eats yesterday to be sent to my friend s house for 2 LARGE donairs and sent in MUCH SMALLER DONAIRS DEFINITELY NOT A LARGE. TOP THAT OFF THE DONAIRS WERE SOGGY, SLOPPY AND GREASY!!!! So disgusting and inedible. So I guess this is how they treat paying customers when not in person!!!! They cheat you and don t give the same service or even the same product just because it s on Uber eats!!!!
Hand down the best Donairs In the city. Big and delicious
Medicore taste and small portions.
Great shwarma
Great Donair and friendly staff
The chicken donair is bomb
Excellent tasting food with great portions for good prices.
Very disappointed with customer service and experience. My wife and I waited all evening to try Simply Donair. It was recommended to us and we rushed over there on a Friday night. Got there 12 minutes before closing. Staff were still there and standing at the till and the grill. But they had the door locked. I looked at the staff and they just had a blank look on their faces. I looked my watch and they still just stared. No explanation or apologies. I think it is very unprofessional to close your doors before your scheduled closing time. And with no regard for what they did. I will try Simply Donair again but never at that location. If they cannot respect their customers, they don t deserve my business.
Usually the only place I trust given I don t order donairs often, however found a hair in one today that was definitely not from my own household. Extremely disappointing.
this place had gone way down hill used to be the go to place for donairs. donairs have gotten smaller the quality of the lettuce and tomatoes were shamful and this last time it dint have nearly enough sauce. time to find a new place i guess.
Great customer service and huge portions. Everything was fresh and tasty. Definitely will be going again.
Again i tried to see if this has gotten better then my last visit.. donair poutine .. gravy tasted watered down the donair meat has so much pepper in it it was disgusting they changed the fries .. overall i threw out my food wouldnt let my dog eat this what happened to this place
We had large beef donairs and they were huge and delicious!
Best Donair in town.
Simply Donaire is true to its name. Generous portions, fresh and tasty Ingredients and a nice clean restaurant. Give em a try, you wont leave disappointed.
First time the hubby and I ate at this donair shop happy to say this will be our new donair shop five stars for sure
This place is great. The mix donair is fantastic.
Poor service, didn t listen to order request. Undercooked, even when ordering extra crispy meat. First time and last time. I m amazed by the high scores this place gets. You want quality, go check out Vegas Donair
One of the best place to get donairs. Servings are generous! Donairs are delicious!
We drive from West Edmonton just to come here.
Awesome donairs
Awesome taste fresh food
Bought 2 small donairs and youd never say they were small by the size of them. Great bang for the buck and very tasty. Definitely will be back again.
Worst donair Ive had in a long time. Ordered 2 kids donairs and there was literally a pint of sauce on them, kids took one bite and they ended up in the garbage. Pretty disappointed in this place. I give this place zero stars.
Not enough spice in the meat, very chunky lettuce and the sweet sauce was weak.
One of the best donair place in city . Very humble staff and an amazing service. Must visit if youre in st Albert
Fast service, always great tasting, great bang for the buck. Thank you
Best donair in town! Absolutely delicious!
I got the chance to order food from this place today, the owner was standing and made my order. There was not even half of the food on the platter which never happened before and when I asked him about the small portions,, he was very rude and practically yelled at me to me and claimed if you do not like it, then you should leave . I had a terrible experience with this place and I will never go back there again. The reason given for the small portions by the owner himself was everything is so expensive . This does not mean that as a paying customer I should be given a smaller portion since I am paying for the food, food the appropriate portion size should be given to me. The owner himself was very disrespectful, unethical and unprofessional.
Good food. Staff isnt super friendly and the restaurant isnt the cleanest.
Best in town
Small but beautiful Donair shop in Sr. Albert.
Awesome Donairs in St. Albert, close to Jade Village and Save on Foods.
Always delicious
Best place to get food in st.albert
Great food and very GENEROUS portions! Never been disappointed!
Best donairs in the Greater Edmonton Area
Really starting to go downhill I ordered a donair combo and the meat was gross no flavor plus cold. Usually I order a small donair cuz its usually lots of meat but really skipped out on the meat this time. Used to stop in every week but now I barely go here anymore. Figured id try it one more time and same as last Id rather go anywhere else in town for a donair
Best donair around.
Super juicy, and equally delicious! We got the chicken donair, so worth it!
After 2 generations of my family have been regular customers with this restaurant since the first day they opened in the original location and through several owners, the food has really tanked. Lately the rice has been uncooked in the platter and today the tomatoes in our food were actually brown and moldy, it was awful and sadly I don t think we ll spend our supper dollars at this restaurant anymore. Whether they didn t care or weren t aware of bad produce and safety standards, neither one is an excuse to serve food that s not edible after so many years, and often spilled from the loosely packed containers. It s a shame when a long-supported establishment like Simply now serves undercooked and expired food.
The best donair I ve ate. Fresh veggies, delicious (non greasy) donair meat and good flavour. Will add this to the restaurant rotation when I m in town.
Best donairs in town! Absolutely love the chicken donairs sandwich! Friendly staff. Will come back for more again! Thanks.
This guy knows how to pack a tasty juicy sweet Donair. Loads of beef or chicken. Cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, black olives, banana peppers and pickles and if ya can squeeze that into a warmed wrapped pita bread. Magnificent.
They are aways quick, the food is great, they make the best donairs in town hands down! I have been going here since they opened and have never been disappointed. Parking: Decent amount of parking out front of the store.
Best donairs Ive ever had!
They close early they stop answering their phone 25 minutes 20 minutes to close they shut down 10 minutes to close! Since they moved the service is going completely downhill seems like the staff no longer cares!!!
Best Donair in Alberta
This place makes great donairs
I was looking forward to trying the food, but they at the counter; taking my order; had too many disgusted looks on their face for me to feel good about eating the food at this restaurant... ..
Great value donairs, not sure how they fit all of the toppings into a single pita but it definitely fills the void in my stomach!!!
Simply, the best Donair in St. Albert. Delicious, great prices and amazing portions.
Best donairs around st albert/North Edmonton! Staff are also super nice! Favorite place for Survivor night dinner!
Always 5 ! I took someone who swore another place was the best donair in the city. They never went back! Seriously good!
Sadly after coming here for so long since its first location to its now location. Having talked with the people working there many times . About cars evos subarus i dont think ill be going back. After my experience today..Young kid working the front counter was very sassy at literally anything and everything we asked.. couldnt even respond to us when making small talk. Would give more sass when we asked for our order to be in seperare bags.. or when we wanted to eat our donairs here and our poutine at home .. was very un friendly .. a mistake happened when i asked for lettuce and mushrooms they ended up doing lettuce and onions .. i cant eat onions.. so i went back up and said im sorry i didnt order with onions.. young man rolls eyes.. they make it extremely fast to now the meat isnt cooked properly like it would be normally be if they took the time and didnt rush it .. the attitude really makes me not come back now.. been going here for years and ordering all the time. Sadly ill find a new place and tell people about it as much as i used to recommend simply..
The BEST Donair you will ever have! Generous with the portions and all around great service and food.
Very delicious food with nice service Thanks
Prices are great, food is even better.
Got awful food from here tonight. When I asked if they would remake it the woman yelled at me. I was more than polite and had been here before - the food used to be good. Needless to say I wont be back and the food is in the trash waste of money and terrible customer service.
Yummy food and lots of it.
Placed my order online. It was $21. When I picked my order up in store they charged me $23. They thought that they made $2 more but actually they lost my business forever.
Tasty food picked up in haste for travel. It was good.
The beef donair and fries were outstanding. Portions were huge, sweet sauce was perfect, meat was well seasoned, and the veggies were crisp. Will return again. The staff is super friendly too.
Really nice and spicy, lots of donair meat and A fair amount of sauce very quick at fulfilling meal request, and a family/fellowship vibe!
Just had a large beef/cheese donair. I am very impressed, it was delicious. Exactly how a donair should taste. Two thumbs up.
Simply the best place to get a donair in the Edmonton area.
Great food & service. Very generous portions. We love the Donair Platter . . . and everything else they serve.
This was my favorite donair place.. recently when i order from ubereats, none of my orders are being processed correctly. asked for no tzatsiki and got a donair absolutely swimming in it. Not sure if the management was changed after the move but the service was much better before. Ill revisit this review in a few months if things improve.
This is my favourite Donair spot in the Edmonton region. If you like Donair poutine, you gotta try this place.
Always get more then your moneys worth! Go fir the sweet sauce va the other option.
Simply the best. No comparison
Best halal food in St. Albert!
Love this place !! Always a great meal!! Lots of fillings and quick even when its busy. Support local!!
friendly and very polite.. their donaire is so good unlike others that the meat is so dry..
Good food, large portions! Definitely go again.
Ive been coming to Simply weekly for almost a year. The definitely dont skimp out here. STUFFED donairs with fresh veggies and thick slices of donair meat. Great prices too considering what other donair places charge for a skinny donair.
I love their Donairs and Donair Poutine. Great service, great prices, great food.
Great service and best priced donairs in town!
The regular Donair was huge and very full. Great flavor and topping choices.
Never had a bad donair here. Excellent portion size, I got a large and a small and the small looked like it was stuffed to the point of delicious explosion.
Nothing good about this place. Very low quality ingredients, not much taste and poor service.
Liked the food
Best donair place in Edmonton Area!
Great spot. They have some of the best donair meat in town and fantastic sweet sauce.
Amazing!!! It is my go to, I ve had many many many other donair places in the Edmonton area, and none even cone close to how fantastic Simply Donairs is. Excellent sledge portions, fantastic meat, best sweet sauce on earth. Fantastic sides, and quite possibly the only donair place I will ever eat from until I die.
Liked it H U G E donairs
For such a popular place for Donair, I m really shocked at the quality of food. Ordered a falafel donair, which was completely overfilled and tasted like cardboard. I m glad they don t skimp on ingredients, but when you can t even eat your donair as a wrap and have to eat it as a platter instead what a nightmare. I will not be returning back to this place. Such a shame.
We were told about this place by a colleague. Well, lets just say that weve havent been anywhere else since. This is a weekly stop- Saturdays. Lots of fresh veggies and generous portions. Glad we found them!
Well if you want a donair, and a poutine I will say it is a great place to order from. The people are friendly on the phone , quick service. The restaurant is very clean and bright.
Best Poutine in town! Also for donairs and falafel we dont go anywhere else but here. The donair meat pizza is soooo good! Very close to St Albert. Try it once & youll always come back.
Best Donair in town. Also, top 5 for the Edmonton location. Sorry A1/Nitzas, it was great while it lasted.
Delicious! And the portions are huge! I could only eat half of a regular sized donair, and their sweet sauce is sooo good
Great food!
Best bang for your buck anywhere. Great portions, speedy service and excellent prices. Simply is my go to anytime I cant decide what to eat.
Great service, portions and prices
Good food terrible service
Always great tasting donairs and excellent service.
All time favourite donair place. I refuse to go anywhere else.
Best quality Donair poutine in the area
Best donair in the city, wish they had later hours on the weekends
Amazing, consistent donairs. Best in the city!
Not impressed, the pieces of meat are cut so small in the Donair. I couldnt even unwrap it without it falling apart. The fries were so soggy, not crispy at all. Sure disappointed with their quality, it has really gone down hill.
No Skip the dishes sadly
The donair I purchased today was the worst donair Ive had from simply. I will not be going back there. Any recommendations for a new donair shop.
The pride and joy of St. Albert!!
Awesome food!
If you love donair, this is a good place to buy them! Serving sizes are phenomenal and their donair sauce is good!!!!
Great donair!
Beef Donaire, huge portion, skip the cheese. Yummy
Nice place, small and clean yet very busy. Service here was good, my large donair combo was made quickly and accurately. Price was decent @ around $15. Portion was huge and I just barely finished it. Flavour was similar to other donair shops, meat was crispy and bountiful, sweet sauce was very tasty. My only issue was perhaps the overall construction of the donair. The meat again while generous seemed chopped up a little too fine and not in strips as most tend to be. I found that my donair was falling apart more than usual. Minor inconvenience aside, I would return for sure.
Ive been here a number of times (including the old location). The donair poutine is great but their actual donair needs improvement. The wrap is way too small for the amount of ingredients they put in and this results in a giant mess while trying to eat it. Mine was overloaded with lettuce and had to finish it on a plate with a knife & fork.
New location is now open and is as good as ever! Better access and parking at Village Tree Mall location.
My favorite place, good service and food is delicious..!!
Great always had an awesome experience!!! Best donairs byfar
Just happened to be by here and a friend always recommended it. Have a great safe social distancing set up. Clean place for sure, size of the Donair was huge and tasted great. Definitely recommend for a quality Donair. Great work guys! While eating in the parking lot there s still more people walking in for pickups so they re obviously doing something great.
Excellent service and I agree about the Covid set up, all good there!! Had a delicious donair that was so loaded, we had seconds off it later, lol.
The lady wrapping donair got am attitude. Need to be nicer to a paying customer. And also does a terrible job wrapping.
This place made me fat. <3
Always fast and friendly. Great neighborhood donair shop.
The best donair in st.albert. The staff are all nice and friendly.
The best donair I ve had in St.Albert! The sweet sauce and tzatziki sauce were so delicious and they load up your donair with a ton of meat. Make sure to have lots of napkins handy.
Wow! Great restaurant with great value!! Very impressed thank you so much!
The menu offers enough choices that you dont run out of options to explore. Their chicken finger wraps are great for when youre on the go. Their donairs are very delicious and well stacked for their size. All in all, its a great place to visit regularly. Thank you to the staff for their courtesy and great service.
Best donairs in town!
10/10 Donair! Simply delicious
Cannot day enough great things about this place!!! No where better to get a donair!! Their sweet sauce is amazing, portions are very large, and the flavour is ALWAYS there!
The best donair I have ever eaten. And I ve had donairs right across Canada. Huge servings and very reasonable prices. A+++++
Very tasty. Good priced and very filling. Donair poutine is a must try
Best donairs in the city!
Great food!
Huge donairs and just amazing,i barely ate it all and was full for about 6 hours,donairs were priced low for the amount of donair they give u and they pack the donairs full so u will be full after u eat one,if ur in st.albert looking for an amazing donair make sure u check this place out,u will not be disappointed.
Always awesome food at good prices
Best donairs ever. You get more than you pay for as well.
The best donairs! The donair poutine is delisious also and both are huge
Lovely little place! Great food and their portions are huge!
Quick service. Quality Donair. I personally prefer the beef over the chicken and the tzatziki sauce is on point.
I wish St. Albert had a decent donair shop. I always go to this place and I m always left disappointed. They wrap their donairs like a child would. Not to mention the lady working there looks miserable every time I go in. Save yourself the disappointment and drive an extra 10-15 minutes to get yourself a REAL donair on the north side with workers who are friendly and don t look like they hate their job.
Awesome Donairs!
Best Donairs in town. Simply the best.
Best donairs anywhere. Wife loves the chicken ones too.
Awesome donair...
Best donairs. Best donairs poutine. Hands down, no question.
Always have a good experience.
Biggest donairs you have ever seen. The regular are massive, the large size border on obscene. We always get the beef, and love both the sweet sauce and the tzaziki. The donair poutine is a giant, delicious soggy mess. The staff are friendly and efficient. Have been in a few times since covid and good safety measures seem to be in place.
A couple weeks ago I ordered Poutine as I have in the past. It was far inferior to the previous 2 occasions which was very tasty, had cheese curds not the insufficient amount of grated cheese. this time. Also there was not enough gravy to make this poutine delicious. Bait & switch? new owners? or cost cutting measures.? Sadly, I wont go back. On the other hand the donairs in the past have been overly generous and tasty.
Just visited their new location! Let me say the new restaurant looks clean and the renovations look great! They are still serving up the best donairs in St.Albert
If your want volume, this is the place, but flavour does not exist. The chicken was so wet that everything fell apart in a flat bread that was half the size needed.
Portions have changed, not as big as when your first opened your doors, not as friendly either always look upset
The best place to get a moist and delicious donair staff is friendly and welcoming new resturant is amazing and clean
