Donair Affair in Tsawwassen

Hi, I ve had donair from this place many times, and I must admit their chicken recipe is quite good, and the employees are always super friendly. However, there s a very sad reality behind the scenes. It s heartbreaking to see that only immigrants work here, and the small business owners seem to be exploiting their own community s young, hardworking kids. If you re planning to tip, please be mindful. Tips left on the card machine don t go to the employees who serve you they go straight into the owner s pocket. If you want to support the workers, try to leave cash tips in the jar instead. But after reading this, who knows, the owner might even take away the tip jar next. This owner, who reportedly has more than three stores in Delta and Surrey, seems to prioritize free labor by allegedly selling LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessments) under the table instead of hiring Canadians or immigrant workers fairly. It s a sad reflection of what s happening in Canada these days. The food might be decent, but the unethical practices make it hard to support this business. It s time for us to think twice about where our money is going and who it s actually helping.

Great Donair spot!!!

the guy that works there is really nice, and gives good service! i totally recommend coming here. the food is also awesome!!

Honestly I am addicted to their donair platters. Best place to get a quick take out before catching the ferries.

Very good food. Clean place

Ordered a Super Beef at the Tsawassen location and it was 75% vegetables. I frequent the Donair Affair in Chilliwack and they are always fantastic. I thought that I would give the Tsawassen location another chance so I came back the next day since I was in the area. It was a little better but barely. They seem to push all the vegetables probably thinking that they can trick someone. This is the only location that I have been disappointed with. Its probably something that the franchise manager should look into. They are giving the company a bad name. If I wasnt familiar with other locations and this was the first one that I tried, I would never walk into another location after that experience.

Fantastic food, great prices, excellent staff Vegetarian options: Lots of options Dietary restrictions: They have great options Parking: Easy peasy lemon squeezy Kid-friendliness: Safe enviornment Wheelchair accessibility: All good

Fabulous food!

The falafal is always good, my favorite. Family member says the lamb was good too. Fast service Vegetarian options: Falafel

The staff are always friendly, and the restaurant is always clean. Service is fast too. Donairs are delicious juicy, well-seasoned meat and flavorful sauces. Great portion sizes and quick service. Highly recommended!

Quality is terrible

My fav spot in Tsawwassen! The ladies are always so nice to me, and the guy there is awesome. Good food, good portions and great price :)

I usually really enjoy my meals from here and it s a good price for what you get. They use to make a bigger plate, but it s still enough to fill you up.

Good place to get a meal that is pretty basic and isnt very processed. Hard to go wrong with this place. Food : 4/5

Such amazing food! The staff was kind and so lovely when we came in with our three kids, making sure to wipe a large table down for us. We got beef donairs with lettuce, tomatoes, olives, garlic sauce and extra sweet sauce. We had to finish things off with a baklava to share of course! The food portions were very generous and the service was very quick. It reminded me of the authentic lebanese and arabic food from home. I am so happy right now. Absolutely coming again when we travel past next time. Definitely worth going to!

Store is always clean and staff are very friendly! I come here all of the time for the rice & chicken

Dirty overpriced $20+ for donair Like what what an actual joke I will never go here again the floor was dirty the tables were dirty the staff after youve ordered dont even speak english anymore.... Rice is what poor people eat in third world countries yet you charge so much almost the cost of a full avocado for a bit on your donair.. I guess thats why the owner drives a 100k + car cause they chaover $20

I stopped by while waiting for BC Ferries and boy was the food good. Pleasant staff and about the same as most any fast food joint for atmosphere. Thanks guys and I will visit again.

Got the Chicken and Lamb Rice Platters. Great food and friendly staff !

Overall good

Very yummy!!! I Loved the donair and salad. Id leave the fries they arent good.

Great costumer service! Great place to eat out! Food

I ordered around 65 chicken, lamb and falafal wraps for office event, food was flavourful with fresh veggies in it. Manish and Simran went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. Thank you guys.

Very delicious donairs and friendly service. Have been here twice and both times were great.

Single pita loaded like a wet balloon. If you love Eastern style donairs or shawarma, don t come here.

Ordered regular falafel: delicious, good size portion. Great value. Could have been 5 stars based on food But this restaurant had no washroom to wash hands and no napkins for customers. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options

Manish is great super helpful and nice

I have been here a few times since it opened and it used to be pretty good. The past few times its been getting worse though. Went in around lunchtime on a weekday and there were no other customers. Both employees were standing an chatting when I came in. The restaurant was filthy and not a single table was clean, lots of food and dirt on the floors, garbage overflowing etc. The service was OK but I wouldnt say friendly, just straight to order. I dont understand why if nobody is in the restaurant why you wouldnt be cleaning tables at bare minimum. The washroom was also dirty and there was no soap. Assuming this is the same washroom the staff use then they arent properly washing their hands.

Stopped in before getting on ferry. Had a very tasty falafel - flavourful with great sauces and well wrapped! I asked if they could possibly help me out with a small snack for my two large dogs who were traveling with me and they hooked us up! So, all three of us had a fantastic meal! So kind - thank you!!!

I just ordered a donair from here off Uber eats. There was a MAGGOT in my donair wrap. Never coming here again. I m in disbelief and so grossed out.

Very tasty, takes a little longer to get your order but with the wait. The baklava is great!

Friendly service. Good size Donair(filling bursting out), seasoned nicely. Delicious. Worth the $$. The only problem was I didnt have enough napkins to wipe all the delicious juices that came out..lol

Utterly tasteless. Tried the chicken donair and the falafel donair with a Greek salad. Everything was tasteless and a waste of money.

Great customer service especially the cute girl with the big smile ;) favorite donair place.

Best donair in town and good service

Manish and tummara were amazing and always give great service! Food is 5/5!

Manish always makes me feel welcome and the food is fantastic. Rupinder is very helpful too.

This is the best Donair place in the whole greater Vancouver. We live in Yaletown but we make sure to stop by this Donair Affair almost every week. Must try the rice with chicken and lamb with the sautéed onions and mushrooms.

Good chicken wrap. Ordered the extra meat since they didnt have fries available. A bit oily but the taste was good and it was filling.

Good

Maybe ok Donair place. Got there after 2pm . Empty. Ordered a fallafel. While a generous size and reasonable price it was pretty apparent it had been sitting in the deep fryer for too long. Not very appetizing but I was hungry having just come off the ferry so I ate it. All things considered I should have eaten on the ferry which is saying something. At least there it would be fresh. What compounds this is after serving me the staff person retreated to the back and to their phone rather than asking how it was. May be the time of day as the last time I was there it was busy and the food fresh . Thats why I came back. Now, not so sure.

Went in this morning and was extremely busy. The young man behind the counter was alone and did a amazing job taking care of all the customers.

This tsawwassen location is absolutely amazing. I ve been coming here very regularly for years and the service and food is always outstanding. I have recommended this location to everyone I know and always will!

This place is so good and food delicious

Love this donair! Minesh always gives the best service and quality food!

Food is always good, but service is hit or miss.. today, I went there and got no service as staff was too busy chatting and watching videos on their phone in the back. I did leave. I did return later and was able to order food. Once again, it was delicious.

Food I really good and workers are awesome

One if the best donair places I have found in the GVA. From Edmonton(where there was lots of great or at least cheap places) and most in Vancouver are tasteless or tiny portions. This place delivered on flavor and value. Dietary restrictions: Said no dairy and she was very concensus.

Been going here since they opened. Beauty staff, food, and a regular go to. Super chicken or chicken with rice is the plate of choice. Manish is the guy.

Great place foe lunch.

I oftenly visit this place and they have really best quality in everything. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The food is always fresh and the atmosphere, service and everything are so good. I would prefer this place to my friends as well because they have real best quality in everything.

A1 service!!

Idk what happened with this place but from order to order they put less meat. Last time I pain for large lamb doneir plus extra lamb and received less than regular one. I am ordering just meat and onian each time so definitely see how less meat they put into this dish. Its looks like scam now. I dont recommend you buy food from them!!!

Quick, easy, cheap, tasted good. Nice choice for a quick meal.

Food and service have gone down in quality and up in price. We used to be regulars but no more!

Parking: Manish is a wonderf person, he served us with genuine respect and professionalism. Food is scrumptious Recommended dishes Chicken & Lamb, Falafel, Rice Platter

It was great visit at this place , the staff was very friendly and the food was very delicious. Thank for your service

I have to say I absolutely love Donair Affair. I have allergies and they are really good about accommodating and working with me to make the perfect customized experience and plate. The staff are lovely and kind and very efficient. Yesterday I was in and out very effectively and ate the entire plate- it was a portion enough for two, oops! Thank you so much for the quality and service that deserves recognition .

This place has deteriorated significantly. Meat always dry, sauces are horrible, pita bread never fresh & the overall meal value experience is so bad. Food not even close to real/good middle eastern food

Finger licking good!

This was the worst donair I ve ever had in my life. Ingredient quality was on par with a bad fart. It disintegrated about two-thirds of the way through and I threw it in the garbage. 10/10 will not go back!

As someone who loves donairs and especially Yummy donairs in north van its hard to find something on the same level. Donaire Affair met that level and then some. big donairs filled with super tasty meat and fresh toppings. My wife got the platter and the meat portions were equal to Yummy Donair. I now have my new spot before hitting the ferry and if youre from north van and know Yummy Donair you have to try Donair Affair

Great food at a great price. Fast and pleasant service.

I visited this place today it was great experience. The girl who was working at night was very polite. She explained me very well and food was so delicious.Highly recommend restaurant for good food and service.

I found the chicken in the platter didnt have the flavour of most shawarma meats I eat, and the hot sauce tasted like marinara with some hot sauce added.

Amazing service and I eat almost everyday here. Manpreet is very friendly. Food

go to north delta is always great service and taset second time at tsawwassen one and last time was just ok today was terrible taste dry bread and no wonder no other customers were there. Food

Good and very friendly

Delicious food, kind staff and big portions (you might want to split the bowl meal). Overall, a good experience. Food

Wouldn t recommend this place. They never get the orders right they miss orders or they don t send food. They don t like it when you don t tip at the counter. Has potential if the staff was more pleasant when you bring them business.

Excellent food, great prices, Ill definitely recommend it.

helped us last minute!! excellent service. manish and jaspreet were so kind and helpful and didn t turn us away when we came 5 mins to close. Great food too!!

Absolutely outstanding flavor and hits the spot with a fresh gyro. Get it with everything and make sure you get a side of garlic sauce with the fries. Great and friendly staff as well. Will definitely be back with the fam. Vegetarian options: Falafel wraps are on the menu.

I ordered an off the menu meal of beef kebab, salad and fries. It was delicious. The server was very helpful and made sure to get it right.

If youer super hungry and want to have a meal that is not overly processed, then Donair Affair is the place for an affordable solution! Staff are friendly and the dine in tables are always clean. Really tasty

Excellent staff and excellent food Parking: Excellent location Food : 5/5 |

Incredible service and friendly staff.when every I go there all the staff members treat their customers with simle

This is what a donair should cost.

We were on our way to the ferry this week. Didn t want to get food from the Quey or on the ferry (the latter I try to avoid majority of the time anyways). So we tried donair affair. The staff were friendly, donairs were nice and big and tasty. We all got the Lebanese style with hot sauce. It was quite delicious. Next time we are on the way to the ferries will definitely rely stop here for a bite.

They didnt tell me they had no feta cheese until they were halfway done making the donair what donair shop has no feta, the beef was more of a whiteish color than brown and they forgot to ad Taziki after I said I want all sauces.was the worst one iv ever had.

This is really horrible experience with them. The women who are working doesn t understand that i have ordered. I placed order 2 chicken and rice and 1 donair. Then i asked them to make a 2 container, other worker told me they can not do that and telling me like very rude in front of other 3 white guys, feeling very uncomfortable. During Corona virus, no one want to sharing their food. Finally, i found their mistake to misunderstand my 2portions of order as 1. Without any apologies. Smiling to 3 white guy, so nice to them. So uncomfortable situation happened in this area. I am going to Never use here again.

Definitely best Halal option around this area . . Donair were good and surely I ll go back.

Always good

The food here is delicious! Theyre super quick to make it and its always fresh and flavourful. The staff at the Tsawwassen Commons location are always friendly and remember most customers!

Delicious and quick service.

We have had the Take out here several times since they opened. Its always been constantly delicious. However, I have noticed that the portions have gotten a bit smaller, and they could Definitely use a better or little thicker Pita bread that comes with the meals. We usually order the beef platter and the chicken platter (they come with rice, chicken, small portions of Greek salad, hummus & thin pitta bread. (As seen in my photos. Even though the portions are smaller now including the hummus and the pita could be more full, it still deserves a 5 star for the taste. The meal completely fills me, and i even cannot quiet finish it, so my man is more then happy to help me out ! LoL

I visit first time there. I don t know what to buy but one guy working there he help me for choosing food and very polite and food is also good

This store is really looking clean and nice. One more thing, staff is really nice and polite to everyone and they always serve us with decent service and food and nature. They always welcome with smile.

Great taste and excellent customer service. Best option for a quick grab.

Absolutely delicious and very well priced. Staff was great. I got their Lebanese vegetarian donair. It was fresh, good size, good amount of dressing. Very well done. This is going to be my go-to spot next time I have to wait for a ferry.

Best donair I have ever had. Will be back for Sure!!!

Poor customer service.

good service

Good staff service

Good customer service

Good place to go quick service and nice staff .

Boys working hard Every Saturday I go there after my shift to eat yummy and fresh chicken. Friendly staff

Huge portions and absolutely delicious. Got the combo special regular beef rice platter with Greek salad, drink included. Hummus was good. Worth the price and super friendly staff. He even gave free fries for my granddaughter who gave him her beautiful smile. Will definitely come back.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Manish and the crew are amazing! Unreal food unreal service! To and from the ferry MUST HIT THIS PLACE! Fast fast fast!

Had the rice platter, very good portions and great food. Staff was very friendly to my daughter. Will come again to tet Donair!

Meh, chicken didn t have much flavour. Way to much lettuce in my donair. Dirty washroom with no toilet paper. (Good thing I noticed before hand)

Friendly staff

We had two rice platters, one chicken, one beef. Good value for money, lots of food, very very tasty. Quick service, good prices. Baklava was nothing special. We will be back, skip the burger and get this instead.

Delicious donair place. Friendly staff, large portion, and fair price. Had the donair platter with a mix of beef and chicken (for an extra cost) and it was delicious!

Great food and customer service !!! All the staff are super friendly and hard working . Manish always greets customers with his friendly smile . I drive from Ladner when I am craving your food A+++

I went with my family here.they make fresh food in front of our eyes manish and prince serve us with very friendly way and they clean our table for eating .will definitely come back thanks so much boys for your service and good food

We were lucky enough to find Donair Affair open at 10pm, on our way to the ferry. Prices are good, food is tasty and Manish really looked after us. Very friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend.

This is the best place to eat!

Great food.

The staff is really what has me coming back this location has a great set of people, they are wonderful and so sweet and always working hard especially Manish and Prince. They guys are always very busy but the employees are just so darn nice and great. I tried their food so many times and the food is very fresh always especially their chicken and humus. Highly recommend to vist this place and try their food and enjoy their best customers services ever.

Best donair in all of South Delta. The fries are especially great.

Quick and good food

The worst donair I have ever tried. Its utterly terrible, no flavour to anything they serve. 22$ and still got my entire order wrong because both order taker and cashier were on a personal phone call or get distracted easily. No food hygenie at all, they use the same tongs for beef ans chicken, toss the fries then take it out with their hands and the touch the screen before grabbing the baklava with their hands. Its disgusting! I really feel sorry for the people of Tsawwassen!

It was good experience. Staff here is good ,friendly and really welcoming. Also, food was delicious will definitely visit again

Best place to eat, food was cooked perfectly, recommend all to visit this restaurant!

My hubby & I come to this Donair weekly simply because Manish and the staff are AMAZING! Its always busy yet he always takes time to communicate and provide us excellent customer service with us which we really appreciate! Your the best Manish :)

The food was fresh and yummy. Great customer service. The cleanliness in store is well maintained. Definitely come back again.

My first visit to donair affair place is really cool.my friend recommendto me.and I try food here.all food I try is delicious.we all loved .. Customer service is really good.please must visit this place..Excellent

Ive been here twice. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

The food is delicious, the employees are friendly, especially Manish, he is an all star.

Good food and friendly staff

Fries very very hapy

The staff on Sunday was amazing. Great food and service! Will definitely come back.

I come here almost everyday for lunch when Im at work and the food is always great and customer service is amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone

Very Friendly staff a gentleman by the name of Manish was really generous with the portions highly recommended location and food was delicious.

Absolutely fantastic food fantastic service incredible all around

Best donair I have had in ages!! Will be coming here every chance I get

Best donairs ever!

Manish is the best, wonderful food and wonderful service

Great price, portion, and service!

Navneet and Jaspreet are the most warm and welcoming servers Ive met. Jovial, smiling and ready for a chat. With that warm experience the food is going to taste that much better.

We always come on Friday and Saturday two guys prince and Manish always smiling while serving I love donairs and the customer service by staff.Highly recommended

I havent tried this WoW Food in more than 1 year and 7 months its a delight, everything they sell here is extremely delicious

had the best meal... staff was so friendly as i was confused what to eat for my lunch the staff helped me to decide.. i would recommend this place to everyone,and would love to comae ba k soon

Awesome Manish was very good

One staff member was super friendly, but the other was depressing, aggressive, and generally rude. The rice chicken platter was a good portion for the price, but the chicken was only average. Sadly, the pita bread was pitiful. The hummus was very runny - maybe even the worst Ive ever had. It felt like it was almost just Tahini. Someone forgot to finish turning it into hummus. Also, the place seemed very quiet, yet quite dirty. Maybe they are understaffed.

Usually the store staffs are very friendly, I have been there several times for doordash pickups. But today I arrived 2 minutes after My pick up time, and both employees were having lunch. And the girl that came to help with the order seemed annoyed from the start that she was interrupted during her meal, and was very rude during the entire time I was waiting for the order. They tend to wait until the customer is there to pickup the order to actually start preparing it. Honestly, the store had no other customer, so she could just prepare the order before hand, or not both employees have lunch at the same time. I ended up dropping the order and left the store.

the rice platter is really flavourful, good rice too.

Prices are reasonable and servings are generous. Tamanna and Manish are so friendly and helpful. They greeted us with a friendly smile and so helpful and accommodating with our orders. I love their wraps and their baklava is so good. I highly recommend this place and will keep coming back to try their other menu item.

Food doesnt taste good. Wouldnt even call this a donair. Wont be back.

Always going there to get my chicken donaire coming from richmond, crews are very friendly, easy to talk, always give me the right order i want, no problem, they are happy always . Good crew in the store. Highly recommended . Parking: Lots of parking place around

Best donair you ever want be. Service is so good, good communication, very friendly Shoutout to mannish&tamanna

Quality is consistent, good value and great flavours.

We ordered a large group lunch for our staff appreciation day, the staff were amazing, organized and on time with our large order. They packaged it perfectly and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend Donair Affair - especially for an affordable catering style option for a group. Thank you!

I tried super chicken shawarma it was really good with authentic taste and generous portions as well. Keep up the great service. Thank you! Food : 5/5

The servers are great and the food is excellent. I eat here every day

Excellent food, really nice people. Recommended

Rude service and below average food. I get its the only type of place like this in the area but wow put some effort in here at least.

Big portion. Good food taste. Very clean no sticky floor like other donair places. Value for money.

I just love this place its so dang good

Workers are incredibly friendly Prices are reasonable Very clean and modern atmosphere Staff are willing to customize orders! 5/5 would recommend for all of your Donair needs

They have halal beef option. Their super beef donair and baklava is a must try.

Easily one of my favorite donair shops in the Lower Mainland. Lowest prices youll find that dont skimp on portion size and the food, staff, and service are great. Rice with lamb/chicken/beef is an awesome addition to the menu for those of us who dont care for Greek salads.

So tasty!

Great food this afternoon and probably two of the best people Ive experienced in a very long time that work here , extremely pleasant and friendly .

Very good. The mushroom lamb donair was tasty. A great combination with grilled onions, mushrooms and lamb. They added a little hot sauce to give it a bit of heat. You may need some extra napkins because the juices collect at the bottom. Finger licking good!

Very good food and customer service..

Solid

Love Donair Affair. Excellent staff and awesome food that will fill you up at a reasonable price!!

Very delicious

Food was good. Front counter person was rude when I asked for any deals or specials.

Fresh and good flavour. And quick service.

Chicken is my favorite.

Ordered take out and found not one but two long black hairs in a single donair. Tried calling the place to complain and got no answer... safe to say Im never going back. How can you be this careless during a pandemic? Disgusting.

Tasty, I recommend it

I went here on Aug 2nd after shopping at Tsawassen Mills. Donair Affair was the best spot ever. DA wasnt busy around 12PM and the staff looked little annoyed because I didnt order fast. Besides she didnt put her gloves on while grabbing salad and some food to pack my box. I saw another staff greeting the next customer as she did serving with gloves on. Anyways the price range was alright. The staff couldve added Tabouli salad it was extra charge though. Plus the pita bread only came with half without roasted potato. I somehow was able to finish all since there was no potato it in. It was tasty and filling. The staff didnt leave much impression on me she could have been more friendly. Id rather give 3 stars due to unfriendly service instead of 4 stars. Food was yummy and fresh. Chicken Shawarma was freshly grilled for sure. Rice was fluffy and tasty.

I love donair affair. Get the chicken!

Great food. All the right sauces. Could use some pickled turnip and pickles. Quick, efficient service. Good portion.

Great food, and the lady behind the counter was super friendly. Highly recommend the donairs.

Was very tasty and fast

My favorite place to eat lamb wraps!! Other places are too salty but these guys cook it just right. Very friendly staff too! Keep up the great work

Best Donair in BC

The new staff are really inefficient.

Good food at a decent price.

Ive been here so much since they opened. Everything here is great. The people who work there are super friendly and the price are really good. They give you a lot of food. Highly recommend

Take out containers only such a waste. Naan was a bit stale rest of it was very good

The workers are friendly, place looks cleanly and food is delicious! The rice platter is always my go to.

This place is legit. Delicious food. Best Donair Ive had in the whole lower mainland.

Absolutely delicious. Brings back fond memories of the halal guys in NYC

Staff are always friendly. They give a fair amount of meat in every dish. Good prices and fresh ingredients. I think I grab a wrap or salad from here once a week!

Such a great option for a quick, convenient, fresh and healthy lunch. Fairly priced, generous portion, friendly staff and clean atmosphere. I enjoyed my lamb donair with the fresh ingredients and accompanying sauces. My only complaint was the hot sauce options. I was hoping to have a little more kick and when I asked for hot sauce the ladies said it was hot enough for me. It was nice but not quite what I was after. Still delicious and will return to taste their other menu items.

One of the best donairs in a long time!! I will be back!

They fill the donairs with meat or falafel. Its bursting to full. Fresh ingredients goes into them and it tastes refreshing even if you get hot sauce. Theyre like. 6 bucks including tax and its well worth it. Really nice staff too. So good I got 2.

Excellent Donair, highly recommend.

Very very delicious. Great customer service. Fresh ingredients. One feedback though, I wish it had a hot pressed step at the end like some of the great Donair places Ive been to. That extra step at the end makes a huge taste difference for me. This is just my sincere and honest suggestion so that this local business does better! I will be going back regardless for the best Donair in Tsawwassen for sure.

Awesome food and very reasonable

Not good at all

Great portion size tastes awesome and great value for money

Best fast food Donair anywhere.... I still believe the food trucks do it best but this is a very close second!

Out of all the franchises this one was the best one. Best in taste best in quality. Best overall. I love the flavour and taste the chicken rice platter has a lot of food but it s sooo good .

Very similar to Donair Spot. Platters are exactly the same price. Tastes pretty good. However Donair Spot offers pickled vegetables or pickles themselves and a full Pita for dipping. I was surprised coming here to see I got a measly half a thin pita, yet they give you enough hummus for 3 pitas. Come on, at least give a full pita. Try offering pickles on the salad or have the option for other pickled veggies.

Messed up our order by putting f for falafel when it was chicken. Also I said super chicken and just made a chicken. Also no list for options of what I can put on my donair. She just assumed I knew it and didn t really list them

Meeeeeeeh

Very nice meat and great prices too! A little busy but that s probably because they re so good!
