East Coast Donair on Parliament Street in Toronto is a true gem for anyone craving a delicious and authentic taste of the East Coast. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects the friendly spirit of the Maritimes. The menu is a delightful homage to the classic donair, featuring generous portions of perfectly seasoned meat that is tender and bursting with flavor. The donair sauce, a signature element, is creamy, tangy, and simply addictive. It beautifully complements the fresh vegetables and fluffy pita bread, creating a harmonious balance in every bite. One of the standout features of East Coast Donair is the commitment to quality ingredients. Everything is fresh, from the vegetables to the sauces, ensuring that each donair is not only tasty but also satisfying. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend their favorites or customize your order to suit your taste. Whether you're a donair aficionado or a first-timer, East Coast Donair offers an experience that is both delicious and memorable. It's the perfect spot for a quick lunch, a late-night snack, or a casual dinner with friends. If you find yourself in Toronto, do yourself a favor and stop by East Coast Donair—you won't be disappointed!

I would definitely not recommend ordering from this place. They don't seem to take any care with your food at all. I ordered a Donaire and the foil paper was burned right into my pita, they covered my friend's salad with feta and olives which was not in the description and made her ill. Another friend of ours cat rice with their meal and it was completely sour. These people just don't care at all.

Nov 18 Review: We really like the samosas here! They assemble/cook your food to order so you may need to wait a few minutes. A reminder to customers and ALL Too Good To Go customers - patience and kindness goes a long way. We had the unfortunate experience of having to share air with a pretty nasty woman who came to pick up her Too Good To Go order. She was asked to wait 5 minutes while he finished fulfilling previous customers (including us) before he assembled her wraps and toasted her pizza. She admitted she parked illegally and hence her impatience. She was extremely rude and condescending towards the food service worker. The sense of entitlement is astonishing. Her tirade escalated when she was asked to be polite by the worker. We too, have had Too Good To Go experience so we know there’s usually a time slot where people come to pick up. For this store: 10am-11:59pm. There’s nothing that says “Customer will come pick up at 5:07pm and food must be ready by then.” which this woman seems to expect, that her pick up be ready. Does she want hot food or cold food, that’s been made in advance and waiting for her? Hoping the business doesn’t have to welcome her money again!

Ordered a large donair pizza for pickup. The crust tasted great, and the toppings all together work well. Cold and fresh donair sauce on the side. Good value compared other local pizza places. Give this place a try, I will be back for pizza and friendly service

This place exceeded expectations. The staff were super friendly and were able to accommodate my special requests. I loved the donair pizza, the bottom was fluffy with no burn. A great spot to enjoy Halifax style donair with sweet sauce! You can never go wrong with more sweet sauce!

This place is a hidden gem. The staff was so friendly right off the bat and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. There are usually 3-4 workers so you get service quick. The pizza slice was superb. The Beef Donair was absolutely amazing. The crispy char with the flavour was awesome. The sweet east coast style sauce is also so unique and delicious. Prices are also amazing. So many options and seems like Ramadan will have even more available. Many thanks to Mizar, who is sort of the owner and manager I think.

The owner here is absolutely lovely and brings such a nice energy into the small restaurant. There is some seating available to enjoy all the delicious things they have to offer. I personally went for a slice of pizza with garlic sauce and it was very enjoyable. Kid-friendliness: Myself and a relatively large group of friends were looking for dinner and decided this would be a good place. The owner was delighted we all wanted food and was happy to have a sitting inside. We are teenagers so we were a little bit noisy but nothing he couldn t handle. We love this place!!

This place is a gem! The new owners, Hissain and gang, are amazing! The service is fantastic. Food is delicious and the portions are very reasonable! Im having a house renovation right now and I will definitely be frequenting this diamond in the rough! The other notable difference from this new ownership is that the place is remarkably clean!

Disgusting ! i ordered a chicken shawarma wrap today the owner of the place was serving me. Before he start putting the condiments on the wrap he rubbed his nose with the glove and still continue to serve me without changing new ones. i am honestly disgusted and will not go back to this place again.

October 22, 2024

Chicken burger seems like store bought frozen chicken tenders, dry, barely any condiments and not to mention the bread which were stale. Biting in to it felt like deep fried plastic on my teeth. The fries were also frozen and had the texture of drywall. Customer service was warm but it was clearly to compensate for the lacklustre food. The atmosphere was ghetto and craving for a clean up, tons of food and dust on the sidewall. Would only recommend if youre drunk or borderline starving to death.

I was craving a Donair but was too lazy to make the meat from scratch. So when I found East Coast Donair on line my taste buds went crazy. So being the East Coaster that I am, I jumped in my car and drove to this location. Only to be very unhappy and disappointed. Let s begin with the portion size If your from the maritimes you know what a large donair looks like. The large donair that I was given Looked like it needed steroids. The meat was not flavourful and it was very salty. The sauce did not have the thick consistency nor was it sweet and savoury. The cost was around $15.47 .NEVER AGAIN East Coasters please do not be fooled by the sign or the pictures!

Perfectly servicable food, not anything amazing, but no egrerious fault. Donair was well seasoned, not too dry, not that moist either; just not fresh. For 10 dollars post tax you could do a lot better in Toronto. Pizza was a whole lot cheaper per slice, so go for it.

Excellent Donair Pizza! I grew up in Halifax and it is nearly impossible to find any donair & especially donair pizza in Ontario. A close friend & fellow Bluenoser recommended East Coast Donair on Parliament St & informed me it is far superior to the Bloor st (& Grill) which isnt the same owners or the same donair meat / sauce. I drove from Streetsville (84 kms roundtrip) to see if East Coast Donair met up to my friends stellar review & I was not disappointed! The donair sauce & meat is excellent! I was seriously craving a donair pizza for Christmas Eve - which was a family tradition for decades when I lived in Halifax & I so thoroughly enjoyed this donair pizza - it was more than just the fantastic donair meat, sauce & high quality / not oily cheese - this has fulfilled a family tradition that I could not have achieved without East Coast Donair! The staff are simply outstanding friendly, professional & polite . I picked up an XL donair pizza for $22.59 w tax and it was soooo heavy - I have finally found my new donair spot right here in the GTA ! Definitely worth the drive downtown & I will recommend. Thank you to the amazing staff of East Coast Donair & sincere thanks for keeping a family tradition possible . See you again soon They are even open tommorow on Christmas day - 2023. Two big thumbs up .

Picked East Coast Donair on a whim and loved it. Folks running the place were friendly and food was great! It had a real neighborhood atmosphere, people coming and going, picking up food/eating in.

Went here as we have been craving a good Downhome donair with the real sauce (if you know you know). The reviews were the best for Toronto area we were visiting. Our regular place was closed this day. The service was great and the food was good too. Worth the drive. We told the owner we came from Kitchener to try these. He thanked us for our business. He even went out of his way to give us a complimentary box of Baklavas ($4.99).. As well he asked us our opinion. He asked us to review it also if we could, so here we are!!! Extra items if you chose to add, we re free and he let you know!!! This is great as nothing is free these days! Free items, a smile and a Thank You go a long way with me!!! Sauce was good, but could have had a little more. So next time I will ask. Husband had a large and I had small. Prices were good as well items fresh! Pita soft and meat flavorful. Kitchener Donair Girl Vegetarian options: Just say NO to meat! Parking: Street parking was on same street. Also free for 2 hours but easily accessible

Jack of all trades, master of none. Stick to one thing and master it. Dont order chicken souvlaki here. They serve undercooked, greasy chicken nuggets (not skewers), greasy rice that was tasteless, cold hard potatoes under a gross salad Ive never seen with sweet pickles and what looked like a mix of leftovers. No tatziki, only gross garlic sauce. Neither server knew what tatziki was. No bathroom or station for people to wash their hands after eating something messy like a donair. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

My mum and I decided to check this place out, I got a burger and poutine (with actual curds!) She got fish and chips. The food was excellent, everything was cooked perfectly and was very flavourful, they had large portions and nothing was greasy or burnt. Originally we were going to do take-out, but the place was very clean and open feeling despite it being on the smaller side so we chose to sit down. The person who I assume was the owner/manager, was very friendly and attentive, making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Prices were great and there was a large selection of food, with easy to read menus. It was a pleasure to eat here and well definitely be back.

This is the closest authentic donair like you can get in Nova Scotia....not quite the same but you can for sure count on it dripping through the tinfoil....they also make standard gyros/shwarma....the guys that work there are all super friendly and they are open late every night. Tim Hortons is 24 hours across the street and a FreshCo with standard hours. Wheelchair accessibility: Right on the corner of Parliament and Dundas - entrance from sidewalk

Ordered from Uber eats. Both meals were stone cold. Also both dinners were supposed to come with garlic potatoes but we got rice and like 5 fries.... spankopita was a soggy mess. Spankopita is supposed to be crispy and it tasted like the dough was under cooked. Rice had ZERO seasoning. This was awful and I basically threw it away. Waste of my money

Im going to try to put some real effort into this, because I think its important. Now, I cant talk about the physical location as we ordered delivery, but what I can say is that this is the kind of food that you order once and never again. I ordered a Beef Shawarma Dinner Platter, which arrived stone cold. Ok, maybe thats the drivers fault. I hoped the food would make up for it, but it was just sad. One, it wasnt Shawarma but Donair (the difference between them being that the former is stacked, sliced meats while the latter is ground, spiced meats). Two, the rice is flavorless. I mean utterly flavorless. No seasoning at all. Not even salt. Three, it was meant to come with Garlic Potatoes. It did not. It came with fries...and when I say fries, I mean, it came with seven fries. Literally seven. Thats...I mean, come on. Seven fries in place of garlic potatoes? Listen, I get it. It was a Sunday night. Maybe things got out of control in the kitchen, but this wasnt a dinner. It was a crime against food. Oh, and this wasnt just me. My wife literally could not eat her meal at all. It was a Spanakopita Platter and it was so soggy that you would think it was literally dipped in oil, smothered with creamy garlic juice and placed on top of another bed of cold, flavorless rice. (Pic of hers attached) I gave this place two stars because I did eat some of my food, after hearing it up and adding some spices, but unless youre starving and this place is the only one open in ten miles, Id suggest going elsewhere.

Great menu selection and one of the best donairs Ive had. Clean premises, friendly staff. One drawback: two staff weren t wearing their masks properly. I d go back tho. Nice option in the neighbourhood.

December 22, 2022

I tried their donair today. Im originally from the West Coast where donairs are on every corner like McDonalds are here. Ive also been to Halifax and for their donairs. East and West donairs are the same. I was excited learn of this one here after someone on FB recommended them saying they were original East Coast. Im assuming this person that claimed to have been to Halifax have never been to Halifax for a donair. This place is not at all East Coast Donairs! They look like them but the meat has no spice like it should have, the sauce is too runny, when it should be thicker and the cut of the meat is not as thick as it should be. It sad Toronto has no good donairs or understands what a donair actually is.

December 22, 2022

Not at all a true donair place. I am from Halifax and also have lived in the west coast where donairs are on everywhere like Tim Hortons here. East coast donairs were introduced in the west before I was born. Ive been in Toronto for 18 years and its only in the past couple of years Toronto has introduced donairs. Toronto doesnt know what donairs are. The meat has a lot to do with it not just if you taste sweetness in the sauce, (thats the easy part) Its all about the meat, its the how meat is cut, the thickness, the spices (very important), how long is cooked for. Does this place know what a donair actually is? Have the people leaving comments actually had an actual donair? The closest Ive found is in Kingston. I still drive all the way there just for that taste and will continue to do so. Ive been so disappointed with the places that claim to be East Coast in Toronto and the people that seem to know what they are talking about about donairs here, especially when they mention shawarmas and donairs in the same sentence.

Had a nice visit, the guy asked me to wait for 10 minutes, I ended up having to wait almost 25 minutes for a Medium Pepperoni Pizza and a Large Poutine. The Poutine was horrible! My stomach would also agree. Have a look at the pictures. There is little to no gravy on the poutine. I flipped it upside down to find a little tiny bit of gravy and some old soggy fries and a bit of cheese. Will never go there again.

As a fellow that grew up in Halifax and sampled the East Coast Donair many, many times on Pizza Corner, I know the taste and texture of our food. Now the big question on everyones lips is is it the same? The short answer is No. To explain what is different is the meat and sauce, I know what is missing but do you? I will say it is extremely good and I did enjoy the fresh veggies as I had the works and a large to boot! Their menu is extensive and certainly, there is something for most people.

Dont bother calling to place any orders for pick-up, they wait for you to arrive before beginning to prepare your meals.

Their chicken shawarma deluxe pizza is delicious and the staff are extremely friendly. Loved trying this place for the first time had a great experience the food was fresh and so good. Definately check it out if youre looking for a place to quickly stop by and grab a bite downtown! Super hospitable people :)

I ve been to this location several times and today I was advised for the first time that they only put onion and tomato on their donairs, and any other topping is a .50 up charge per topping. There is literally a sign states choose up to 7 toppings and 3 sauces where you order your food. They also only have Donair sauce, no tzatziki despite that being the only other classic Donair pairing. As a person who just moved back to Toronto from down east, down homers get your fix elsewhere!

Quick service and friendly staff. Ordered a chicken shawarma and poutine, the shawarma was good and so was the poutine but couldve used a little more gravy. Thats my one and only complaint.

Order Donair, no need to thank me because youre welcome

December 22, 2022

Poutine is Horrible, they put way too much gravy(and that stuff was too runny so it didnt even stick on the fries) I actually barfed afterwards because I think the chicken wasnt cooked properly. Chicken wings are so small, and for 10$ i could go ANYWHERE else and it would taste 10x better.

December 22, 2022

Pizza quality was so bed. There is very less toppings but every pizza price was 19$. Its disappointing.

In the area with my sister and hungry as a horse, spotted the Donair sign and that being one of our favourite foods, we just had to try their version. So glad we did. Had the spicy beef Donair wrap and it was quite uniquely delicious and huge for the price. I couldnt finish mine so had the other half the next night for dinner, another of my favourite things, dinner already waiting for me. Well definitely be going back.

December 22, 2022

So im not from Halifax, but Ive been and did my homework on where to grab a solid Donair, including drunken visits to the late night spots to really get the experience. I feel if I was a true east coaster, I may say something about how its better back home, but this was basically how I remembered most east-coast style donairs. Anytime I get the itch, this place will do it.

December 22, 2022

The donair meat was rock hard. Seemed left out. Sweetsauce was ok though.

Meh. Food is mediocre. Their online menu doesnt match whats in store (I ordered something they dont even have). Pizza toppings were stingy. Crust is too thick and tasteless. Staff didnt care about mask usage at all one staff member kept raising and lowering his mask multiple times while I waited for my food and while he performed tasks, and the other was completely maskless when I arrived (but put it on while I was there).

Ordered on UberEats. We were looking for a new Shawarma place in our area and decided to try out Pure Pizza & Burger, hoping it would become our new spot. Unfortunately, we ran into a few issues. We ordered 2 chicken shawarma platters, as well as 2 pieces of fried chicken. What we received were two shawarma wraps. This in itself wouldnt have been horrible, except these wraps were completely disintegrating and fell apart even before the first bite. On top of this, the fried chicken pieces were served in nothing but a brown paper bag, that was soaked in grease by the time it got to us. All this made for a supremely disappointing experience. The taste itself was pretty decent, so i might order from them once more to see if this was a fluke, or if this is their regular quality. I guarantee if I receive the same kind of service, they will never see my business again.

December 22, 2020

Worst falafel Ive had in my life, and my stomach unfortunately agrees. Im not the first one with these complaints. Way too salty, left me thirsty (despite drinking lots of water.) Baked the whole thing so the veggies were hot and mushy. And the guy didnt bother wearing a mask til I asked him to. Just made me appreciate all the other falafels Ive had.

December 22, 2019

For the price you pay, is the food you get. That basically sums up this review. The customer service, I didnt have much of a problem. It was very basic, nothing above and beyond. They dont seem to really care about excelling it either, but again its not a fine dining restaurant so I cant expect more. Food quality, like I said, you get what you are paying for. However, I must say, they have renovated this place, and made it look much better, so +1 star for that!
