I love garlic as much as the next guy, but I could breathe garlic dragon fire after eating the hummus here lol.. the consistency is odd as well .. it's a liquidy puddle consistency.. chicken and rice is good enough. Prices are modest, but portions are as well. read more

Okay food for lunch. We got some chicken and rice dish before our ferry terminal time. Nothing great but accessible

This donair place is located in a somewhat random shopping complex, but don't let the location fool you because their food is delicious! The chicken is their most popular meat and I know why because it's flavoured with all sorts of really yummy spices (not spicy at all!). The lamb was good too (ordered by my husband), but I'm glad I got the chicken. Would come back here and try the beef next time. We also ordered the baklava for dessert -- perfect with a cup of tea or coffee! read more

Donair Affair - Chicken donair with a bit of their spicy hot sauce -- not too spicy and very tasty! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

They always load up on the chicken portion for a reasonable price, other places merely put the same amount of chicken or any meat. I have been coming here for the last 5 years frequently and I have always left a happy customer. read more

An outfit that is running well prepared for today The donairs are superslatively full and juicy and a rare treat read more

Have been here a few times when first opened but they always seemed to get one order wrong or over charge for something and instead of coming back we go elsewhere. The platter seems like the best value but the pita, can you even call it that? It's like a thin azzzz pita cut in half then half again!!! Seriously my toilet paper is probably the same. Change the name to 4ply chicken platter? Also the Arizona Iced Tea. Cmon now buddy, I know your the owner and can do what you'd like but charging almost $3.00 when less than 100 steps is safeway and they charge $.99. Maybe if they weren't as chincy on the Toilet paper, sorry pita and the workers would actually smile instead of giving attitude or the look of death then you'd get more business. I suggest go down more towards Scott road or Guildford!! Trust me!! read more

The food here is always fresh, well made and very tasty! The staff is always friendly and happy to see you. The combo special is my favourite. It comes with either beef, chicken or lamb. Caesar or Greek salad and a can of pop for $8.99. read more

Other donair places beware, the Surrey and Delta areas now have a new reigning champion in the donair wars, and I kid you not. This is now officially my favourite donair/shawarma place since Mr. Shawarma closed down in Vancouver. First and foremost, I find Donair Affair's prices to be very affordable, which is a nice change from the slightly overpriced Meditalia across town. If I'm not mistaken, they range from the $5.xx price point, to the most expensive donair being around $7.xx (I can't recall the exact change, it may be $.69). At Donair Affair, you have a selection of Beef, Lamb, Falafel and Chicken. Within category, you have the following options. Also note, falafel is cheaper across the board. Regular - speaks for itself. The entry level donair. Super - double meat/falafel for roughly $1.00 more. Hawaiian - includes pineapple. Have not tried this myself. Caribbean - spicy, have not tried. Lebanese - includes hummus and tabouleh. $7.xx. They also have combinations (chicken/lamb, chicken/falafel etc) that run in the range for a bit more. Off the top of my head, I think they are in the $7.xx price point. The typical donair comes with the following toppings: lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, onions, garlic sauce (i never get this), tzatziki, and hot sauce. The donairs themselves are nicely packed and quite hefty. They are very filling and succulent. Case in point is the chicken. It is always, juicy and never overcooked/dry. I can't comment on lamb or beef, but a friend has told me the lamb is quite good as well. I am also a fan of the falafel (spiced mashed fried chickpeas) when I am in the mood for something not as heavy as one of the meat based choices. In terms of shwarma (platter dish), I'm not the biggest fan of the greek salad that comes with it, so perhaps in the future I will opt for only the Chicken and Rice dish. The platters are very reasonably priced, $8.xx and $7xx if memory serves me correctly. These are very filling so eater beware! Other items on the menu include fries and poutine. I tried the poutine once, and was not very satisfied. The gravy had a peculiar spice to it, and the cheese was very melty. This may appeal to you, but it did not appeal to me. This place can't do everything (though it does it's main dishes tremendously), so unless you absolutely have to have poutine I'd suggest you stay away from it. For what it's worth, I do frequent this place more often than I should, and usually do eat here around once or twice a week. The offerings are fresh, the interior is clean, and they have a good selection of beverages which are also fairly priced. In the four months they have been open, they have gotten better to the point where I think they have mastered their servings, I have never ever walked away from Donair Affair feeling unhappy or unsatisfied with content or value from the meal (they even take AMEX!). Donair Affair is a superb addition to the Surrey/Delta food landscape, and should be a destination hotspot for those in the need of a donair or shawarma fix. All other local places should take note in terms of pricing, quality and deliciousness. read more

Came in over the weekend for lunch for the first time as I'm a big fan of tasty donairs. We ordered 2 super chicken donairs, which have more meat than the regular as staff explained. The place was surprisingly busy and staff were focused on circulating customers as quickly as possible. I was pleased with staff and overall time it took to come and leave with our orders. The total came up to ~$16 for the 2, which is definitely not bad for the quality and taste we got. The pitas seemed fresh and the chicken was delicious. I think subway next door has some competition for sure. I would not recommend eating in as it can be pretty loud inside and seating is limited,which is why we took out. I would definitely come back though and both of us were very satisfied by our meals. read more

What can I say? If it's late and I'm hungry, I grab a donair or a rice with chicken box from Donair Affair. The donairs are big, super big, but since most of the stuffing is vegetables, I don't feel *as* guilty. I like this more than Subway because there is less carbs in a pita than those Subway breads. Also, more texture and flavours in a donair. The shop gets very very hot during summer time. Employees usually just take your order without a smile, but hey, its ok, the food is yum! read more

My favourite Donair place in lower mainland. Their rice platter is the best take out food I can think of whenever I feel hungry. The staff never hesitate to give you a generous portion of meat. read more

Donair Affair - Chicken rice platter. - Canadian (New) Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

Well...I'm not going to lie. I love donair affair. I recall having my first donair joint in Germany, and my first love was with one in the UK. They added a unique hot sauce which I really enjoyed. I would be sweating like crazy but I loved every minute of it. Fast forward to donair affair, it's not anywhere near as spicy but its sauces do add a certain depth of flavour and the nice full servings of chicken certainly help make its case. I always get the Chicken Rice Platter. So I'll speak from that perspective. The portions are nice and filling, make for a manly meal. The chicken is roasted brown meat, which I really enjoy due to the fat content aka juiciness. The sauces really create a unique flavouring with the rice. And I really enjoy greek salads, which you can get with the platter, I've grown to enjoy the fresh hummus sauce as well, minus the parsley. All in all, it's a great meal that combines some of my favourites: bbq-like meat, greek salad, creamy fresh hummus, and delicious sauces. The Good: Chicken Rice Platter The Bad: Service & consistency in terms of serving size and sauces could use a bit of work. Best Bet: Well worth the $9, $11 all in with a pop. Highly recommended. One of the better joints in the Lower Mainland for Middle Eastern food despite it being a franchise. read more

Have been back here numerous times since my last post about this place. Absolutley love the food! I usually get the beef donair but have tried the chicken as well. For $5, you can't go wrong. My donair is usually stuffed with veggies and meat. Have also tried the chicken and rice and found it pretty good too. A bit more expensive at $8. read more

Decent place for local halal food. A good selection of choices for a great price. The chicken platter was pretty well seasoned and not overly salty. It's not the best halal food ever but is good for a quick stop in for lunch or dinner if you're in the area already. Staff is also friendly and efficient. Not a fan of the styrofoam containers though-- not leak proof or environmental! read more

Been waiting for a good Donair place to open in Surrey... And after 10 years... It's walking distance !!! Fab food!! Fab price!! Staff could be a little more friendly in the customer service dept for sure tho read more

these people hate their job but the food was ok, lame attitude from staff and really hope people would care more about customer experience read more

Donair Affair - a man working in a commercial kitchen - Canadian (New) Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

I have been here a few times, the platter is good, but every time they seem to forget something. Which get annoying, now we have 3 platters all with hummus and no pita. One more chance and then I'm done. I done think the client needs to remind the server if they forgot items. read more

I have been going to donair affair for just under a year now. The food has mostly been great and the best part is how the meat is cooked on the rotisserie right in front of you, over time it's shredded off and put on the grill to give it that nice finishing touch. The prices are incredible when you compare them to other restraunts that offer the same type of food. 8 months ago I would have given this place a 3 star. This is because of one girl who had worked there. She once closed the store early (but left the open sign on) and I was pretty choked I was unable to get the new food I fell in love with. The next day I had informed the owner of the store (whom I had chatted with before) he was not pleased and encouraged me to report problems like this in the future. It doesn't end there, every time I went after that day the same girl would always be "stuck" with making my food. She would just toss the stuff in and barely even look at the donair. I again informed the owner after this happened a few times as I felt the quality of the final product wasn't great like it used to be. I went to the store again a week later. 4 new girls were working and I have yet to see the grumpy one make a return. If anyone had a similar experience that caused you to stop returning here I urge you to give them another chance. Always a line up but always worth it... This place gets 5 stars as the service is quick and a better alternative to subway. The owner puts the business and customer first and his current employees share these same traits. You gotta eat here read more

great taste and value. i rotate between the virtually all the menu selections (rare as I typically have one or two favourites at restaurants but here beef, chicken, falafel are all worthwhile) but have a soft spot for the chicken and rice plate especially with all three sauces. read more

Coming from a guy that lived in East Vancouver for over 40 years and having my share of Donairs, this is pretty good!! Prices are reasonable. The donairs are quite on the large size with chunky veggies and the garlic sauce is to die for. Plus their free wifi is strong and fast so you can surf on your phone while you enjoy a donair! I go there at least 2x a month now these days... read more

Terrible service, the staff was very unfriendly & hostile . They also messed up my daughters order up not once but twice.

I am a regular customer... I come to Delta just for this place sometimes lol I love the young lady who works here, she is by far the most sweetest and kindest person and loves her job! I believe without her this place would really go downhill. This place has evolved in some ways but the food is still great! I enjoy the chicken rice platter every now & then or the Hawaiian beef donair :) read more

The food is great however the establishment needs to work on its customer service. Opening hours posted at the door is 10 am. I came in on a Monday at 10:05 am and I was told that they would not be ready to serve until 10:30 am. Either have have the employee show up at 9:30am so things are ready at 10 am or change the opening to 10:30 am Call me old fashioned but I do expect a business to be ready to serve customers when they open for the day. read more

absolutely filthy I almost threw up when I went into the bathroom the toilet was so so disgusting!!!! seriously do not eat here!! they say you can tell a lot from the bathroom but the chicken was aweful too and full of grisol I threw my meal away :( read more

Great new neighbourhood place for falafels, beef, chicken, lamb wraps. This neighbourhood was overdue in getting something new and reasonably priced! the decor is super simple (white walls) but eh, I'm there for pick up anyways. My fav is the rice platter with chicken, greek salad, hummus and pita...so good for under $9! You've gotta give it a try yourself. My family will be coming back for more. read more

Definitely noticed the stale pitas as she actually pulled one out of three different packages before deciding to just use the fourth. Was told I get any toppings from the first section so I put feta on it which after of course was charged 50 cents for...then they wanted to charge an additional 50 cents for tabula. ...its parsley! Seriously? ? 50 cents for a teaspoon of parsley??!!. Very greedy way to run a business. Will not be back. read more

The chicken is cut off the slab of meat then fried on the grill. The chicken was charred black and there was so much skin and fat. I have never seen chicken cut of the slab then fried the way it's done here. Having lived back east for years I know my donairs. The quality of chicken was poor due to it being charred black and how much fat there was. I would never go back. read more

I have been to this location 3 times now and I have to say..."Clean the freaking floors and stop selling rusty lettuce!" Terrible. Seriously, look at the toppings before you order...best bit of advice to give. I have to agree with Stephen H's review where it stats that the employees don't like their job. They sure give you that feeling as you watch what they do. No motivation or care goes into their work. I mean who would like their job if the management takes all the tips! One employee clearly told me not to tip them cuz they never see a penny of it! That's just nasty! I'd say go to the other location on 88th Ave. Better service, but only by a few employees. read more

always get the chicken donair and wow is it tasty! I just wish they didn't charge so much for extra toppings, dropping 10$ to fill it up!

The donairs at this location are good and I do frequent this location often, but only when the owner is present. Today (Father's Day) I went into Donair Affair around 11:55/12 noon and the place was empty. When I walked in the two ladies were visibly unenthusiastic. I tried to lighten up the atmosphere with some small talk, the lady with glasses kind of laughed and the other lady shot me the dirtiest look. She was not interested in small talk. I should have walked out at that point, but my family was in car the waiting to eat. I know good food is great, but crap service and customer interaction can sink any business. read more

Good food. Lousy service. The stars are only for the food. If you enjoy giggling and whispering in Punjabi while they prepare your food then this is the place for you. Been there many times but tonight will be the last. So disappointed. read more

I love their lamb with rice. Will recommend this place to anyone. Sometime they put in less but just ask.

THIS donair affair is garbage. I was excited to finally have a donair store close by so I could enjoy one once in a while. Since they've moved in there, I've gone twice and been disappointed both times. The meat was barely warm and the donairs didn't come with what supposed to come inside them. When I asked the second time I went; to receive some pineapple in it as that's what comes in the one I ordered, they charged me extra for it. How cheap can a place be, they're poorly managed and don't give a shit about the satisfaction of their costumers. Not to mention the girls working there are uninviting and clearly hate working there. read more
