If you are looking for a solid donair after a night of drinking with your buddies this place is great! Food is pretty high quality for a quick late night snack. Service was good as well even though they deal with so many drunk people every night hahah. All in all it is good and would recommend! read more

Friendly staff and food together quickly. Ordered the kofte wrap and it was sooo flavourful!! The sauces really took everything to the next level! Loved that it was jam packed with veggies too! read more

My go to for donair dude. I like this place best and the one on davie next. There was a trainee making our donair and honestly we weren't feeling 100 on the end product. We made it known to our usual host and she happily made us a new one and even suggested to let us keep the first donair to give away to whoever we come across around that area (instead of tossing it in the bin). She apologized again for the wait and inconvenience and of course the donair she made was 11/10. read more

Donair Dude Granville - Chicken Donair. They can cut your donair in half for you and wrap the halves separately if you ask - Mediterranean Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

It's ok. In town looking for some shawarma, I figured this was close enough. Online ordering to go was smooth and convenient and location is great. One girl was working the place early on a Sunday; she was super nice though a bit busy. We got both a lamb and chicken donar and some garlic/parmesan fries. Having had donars and shawarma and the like many times before these weren't even in my top 10, though they weren't terrible by any means. I felt the pita wraps were a weak spot. Would be better if these were made or acquired fresh. Sauces weren't that spicy or flavorful. The lamb was really good but the supporting cast of ingredients was just average. The chicken was boring and lacked flavor. Fries were just ok, but I didn't like that weird "parmesan" sprinkle. All in all it was fine but hoped for more. read more

Note: this review is based on a late night delivery. Price/quality (1/4): I ordered the lamb donair and the meat was dry and overcooked. The onions were also white instead of red, which detracted from the flavour. All in all, it was so disappointing that I couldn't even finish it. Service (1/1): They're open until 3 AM! Would I order from here again: No read more

Got into town late and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. At 11pm, there aren't many options around Century Plaza Hotel, so I decided to actually check to see if Donair Dude is just as good while sober as it is when inebriated. Yeah, it's legit. When I got there, the street was pretty dead. It was a Monday night so makes sense. But, I'm never a fan of eating fast food when it's slow because it means the food has been sitting there awhile. Once it was all wrapped up and pressed...it didn't really matter. It was delish - such a great balance of textures and flavors. I'm a fan of gyros and shwarma wraps - those ain't got nothing on donairs. Actually, it did. It's the reason for 4 stars rather than 5. Go there at a decent hour and you'll likely get fresher food that is OMG good. How to do it right: Grilled Pita Wrap. (c'mon - tortillas are for Mexican food!) + Garlic and Hummus Spread + Chicken + Beef (BF got lamb, too, when we came here for the first time) + Onions + Tabouleh (trust me on this one) + Red/Purple Radish or whatever those Lebanese/middle eastern garnishes are called + Tzatziki Sauce + Feta Cheese (because Cheddar is for hamburgers!) The sandwich is massive. Props to anyone who can eat the whole thing in one sitting. When all is said and done, this is a place to check out while visiting Vancouver. And, it won't break the bank which means you can eat at more places...Eat here drunk or sober. Who cares when it happens...it will be worth the $10. read more

Donair Dude Granville - Chicken and Beef combination grilled pita donair. Garlic and hummus spread to start it off. This thing is as big as my face. - Mediterranean Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Yum! Normally I'm not a huge fan of Donairs, mainly because they tend to be messy and sloppy and get soggy - which I HATE. Well the Grilled Chicken Pita Donair was so the opposite of that and I LOVED it !! On mine I have -hummus -red pepper paste -tabouli ( extra ) -lettuce -pickles -black olives -feta cheese Sometimes I also get extra meat as well. I don't get any sauce on it and it's perfect for me. So nicely crispy ( yet chewy ) on the outside and fresh and flavourful on the inside. The portions are very large. Enough to share with a friend if you so desire . This place on the south part of Granville street is open very late ( 3 am ) read more

After trying it for the first time, I was hooked on Donair's offerings. Since then, I would try to find the closest Donair Dude whenever I am outside and feel like eating. I once chanced upon the Donair Dude at Granville street after school and have been returning to this place since. Let me tell you, I have tried several Donair stores, but this one just hits right. The store is well maintained, and the staff is friendly & helpful. They don't hold back in giving the quantity of meat you actually paid for, unlike others who do that. The crowd is generally pleasant, though the place usually gets busy at night. Make sure to give it a try. I'm pretty sure you would keep coming back to this place day after day. read more

Meh. There's nothing really special about the donairs here that sets them apart from others in the areas. I like the fact that they're open late, but charging $16 for one donair is kind of ridiculous. People were nice though. Overall, an alright experience. read more

This place was amazing! We stumbled in after spending an hour inside of Cabana. We hadn't really had a dinner that night. They are open late, which is really nice. I probably couldn't saved a little money if I had gone with their 2 donairs 2 sodas for $18.99, but we each got our own orders. I ordered: - chicken with everything on it The donairs are HUGE! They stuff it, and then they grill it in a panini machine. The sauces and meat were super tasty. I couldn't finish mine, and Alex finished the rest. Our other friend only ate 1/2 of his and took the rest home. Great place for drunk munchies. read more

They're good, and great size for the price, but one of biggest pluses of this place is that they have Halifax style donairs on the menu. I first learned of this glorious invention years ago when I lived in Halifax for school. I have family out there still, so when I visit it's one of the first things I eat. If you're unfamiliar with a Halifax style donair, it consists of donair meat, onion, tomato and a thick, sweet, creamy sauce that is allegedly made with condensed milk, vinegar, and garlic powder, all wrapped in a pita. It may not sound that great, but they're delicious, especially after a night of drinking. So back to Donair Dude. They didn't quite nail it, but it's a pretty close facsimile and does the trick when a craving arises. I've only ever ordered from here through Uber Eats so I can't attest to their service, although they did draw a smiley face on one of the bags. Their other wraps are good too with maybe a small complaint being that the pitas can get a bit tough and dry from the grilling. read more

This was my favorite Donair spot for both my trips to Vancouver in the last year. I got a pita wrap with beef and chicken. What's nice about this place is there are numerous options of spreads, sauces, veggies, and cheese to add. It all gets wrapped in a big pita that looks like a mini pillow when it's all stuffed. The fries were also made to order and came out nice and crispy. read more

Tried this place for first time. Had the Dude Special. Two Donair halves with two pops. Best deal. Donairs were delicious. Liked the grilled (panini style) Donair. Would eat here again. Note there is only bar style seating. So if you are looking for a table for a group, this may not be the place for you. read more

I've been to quite a few different donair dude restaurants over the years and a lot comes down to the manager of that particular franchise. This location at this time is one of the best as it has a practical price and the older style of shaved off rotisserie meat (as opposed to the pre-shredded style). I go there a few times a week for lunch and their can make my regular order automatically now, which I enjoy. read more

The hosts were incredibly hospitable,they were attentive, friendly, and available to assist with any inquiries or requests, the dishes were delicious, and the services provided were excellent. The location was also wonderful. I highly recommend it to everyone! You can enjoy a pleasant shopping experience or engage in various activities before indulging in a delightful and flavorsome meal. read more

Are you hungry? Because this place will fill you up. They give you a ton of food for the price! Is it good? Meh. I think it would be OK for a gotta eat sort of meal. Overall, I think this is a Yelp fail. The ratings drew me in....but the place just didn't deliver what I expected. But if you are on a limited number of eats in Vancouver...do not make the mistake that I did. This was a total waste of 1of4 meals we had in Vancouver. Once I took the second bite I should have just found a homeless person to give it to and drive a little further to get the food I wanted. Now please, don't think that the place isn't worth going to because of that last bit. It's fine, it's just not a place you should seek out if you are a tourist. However....I think it might be really good drunk food if you are nearby and drunk. Too bad there isn't parking nearby. So no, I wont go back again, unless I find myself in Vancouver for an extended stay and my hotel is nearby. There is just too much in the city to experience! The place was clean and the gals were friendly and helpful. So yes, A-Ok. read more

We just stumbled across this place by accident, just parked in (Downtown?) Vancouver and walked around and found this place. I don't know what made us stop in it just happened organically and so glad we found this place. Got the Grilled pita donair, its pretty much like a subway sandwich of Mediterranean food. You get to choose between chicken, beef or lamb then a spread, veggies and sauces. I chose chicken with garlic spread, all of the veggies except pineapple and turnips and hot sauce. It was HUGE, they pack all the stuff into the pita and then put it under a panini grill. So good, it was a large portion and reasonably priced, i really liked the garlic spread and hot sauce combo, and they also put Tabouli in it too which i think adds a lot to it. We liked it so much that on our way back from Whistler to the airport we also stopped in again and luckily there was a lunch special where you get a Pita Donair and a drink for cheaper than just the pita during regular "non lunch hours" Bonus! It was a great find. If I ever make it back to Vancouver i'll be back for sure! Note: this one is not located in whistler but i just wanted to add it to that list so i can remember to stop by on the way there for my next trip. =) read more

Great food for a good price. Place is for a late night bite. I wouldn't come here during the day. It's some of the best food around late at night though. I would recommend the chicken read more

This massive football of deliciousness just landed at my place and I was blow away by the size and flavour of this BEAST OF A DONAIR!!?? Crazy I loved it - I'll be back! read more

Pretty disappointing overall :( Service was really friendly and pretty entertaining when some guy randomly flipped out on them and demanded his money back once they asked him what kind of toppings he wanted. The staff handled it with ease. The donair itself was the disappointing part though. I do like all the toppings you can choose from, but the meat was lacking in flavour. read more

tried the chicken schwarma wrap here and its enough for TWO MEALS. it is a good price, you get to choose the sauces, fillings (veggies) and it comes out nicely toasted so that all the ingredients meld together nicely into a little package. It can get very messy to eat but overall, a very large and delicious wrap for a good price! read more

Donair Dude Granville - chicken donair - Mediterranean Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

2 words sum up my experience with this place. Food poisoning. Worse week ever. I definitely won't be coming back here.

This was awesome. Great lamb pita! Lot of food for the money! AND it's open til 4am! It's big enough you could eat half and save half for later, but it was soo good I ate the whole thing. I did the hummus + garlic spread and then added tzatziki sauce. But the sweet sauce added to the above combo is the winner for me! read more

Oh my goodness this hit the spot! My wife and I were visiting Vancouver for like the hundredth time and finally wandered around this area. I must say, I Yelp'd this one and was not disappointed at all. The donair was huge and really sticks with you. The rest of the day was spent snacking just because we couldn't justify a full on meal. For a few bucks you get to fill up a giant pita bread with meat, veggies, sauce, and whatever else they have for you to stuff in there. Then they press it like a panini until it's nice and crisp on the outside. One bite and I just wanted to go back for another. Everything worked so well and, while it's probably not the case, it felt healthy-ish. We didn't get any sides, but with the combo we managed to get a couple bottles of water. As the crazyrussianhacker would say, "thumbs up for me!" read more

Coming from Berlin, the Döner ("donair" ??) here are a little disappointing.. I had a falafel pita wrap. The falafel were microwaved right in front of me and then made to order with lots of veggies and sauces and cheeses. The ingredients were on the whole not very nice and possibly past their fresh date. Fine price for a fast and easy lunch, I guess. But come to Berlin for better Döner.. :) read more

I walked out of my way to come to this donair spot because I heard good things. This was so worth it. The donairs are huge! So tasty. A great value! Not only that but it was bright and clean in there. Unlike the others on the street this seemed like the best place. The staff were super friendly. read more

I'm addicted. My sister found this place when she was visiting town. Said something about it being a great value. Boy she wasn't kidding! You get a football of absolutely delicious food and a drink all for $7.38 (including tax) during their lunch time special which now goes till 5 pm. And that's the price with cheese which is an 1 dollar up charge! This is the best value for food in the city. Their chicken pita, which I order fully loaded, is so delicious it gives me cravings. On top of that I'm left so full i can barely move afterwards. Its prepared to perfection every time. I've found myself eating here 3 days a week and still not getting sick of it. The staff is friendly, fast, and efficient. The place is clean. I cannot say enough good things. If you haven't already done so go and try it. read more

Great place! I walked by on Granville while they were under construction and wanted to try them out when they opened. I came in while they first opened and tried there morning special donair. I got the chicken donair and by my surprise it was HUGE! Considering I'm a little old lady it was a lot for me to handle. I ate half of it the first day then the other half the next day. It was a good meal... they even put cheese on your sandwich, most donair shops don't do that at all. I would come by again for sure while I'm out on lunch. read more

Halifax style donairs - are you kidding me?? And they are good!! Stopped in for lunch today for the first time and was not disappointed. Place is clean and friendly. I got a traditional style Halifax donair with no garlic spread. Meat was up to par - and sauce was legit (I'm from NB). I will be back!! read more

The doners here are very, very big -- enough to feed two people and they are a great value. We got the chicken donair with the spicy spread, almost all the veggies (even pineapple), with tzatziki sauce. However, there was very little meat in it. Maybe if we hadn't gotten as many veggie toppings, we would've gotten more meat. Who knows. Great place for a quick and healthy lunch. read more

Lured in by the sign that advertised "Halifax Style" donairs! Oh. Sooooo close, but not quite. Delicious, but still left me nostalgic for the donairs of my native city. (Donairs are practically the third religion of Halifax, after RC and CofE, and they are the official food - or is it just sandwich? - of Halifax.) Still, very filling and as a brunch time treat the last time I was in Vancouver, kept me full until hours later that night when I got back home to Oakland. You can't beat that for under $10 CDN! read more

I really wanted to like Donair Dude a lot so that it could become my new lunch spot, but sadly, it wasn't up to par for me. I usually go get my donair 3 stores down from Donair Dude at Mr. Greek Donair Town but decided to give Donair Dude a try. The donairs at Donair Dude are HUGE. My meat to vegetable ratio was around 7:3. I couldn't taste any of the sauces I saw them put in because of the amount of meat packed into the donair. I personally am not a huge meat eater nowadays so I would rather my met to vegetable ratio closer to 5:5 or even 4:6 with vegetables being the 6, but I'm sure larger men would appreciate their huge meat quantity in their donair. Their shop is nice and clean, and the servers wear gloves and greet you with a smile. It's definitely a great donair place but personally I think I'll stick with Mr. Greek down the block. read more

Order via Uber eats. I got a Donair and fries. It made it from the restaurant to my hotel quickly however the food was cold. I opted for the Halifax style and it was a miss is all ways. Maybe a gyro with lamb would have been better but who knows. read more

Been here 50+ times as I live nearby. That in itself is a good review. Be warned though that this place is somewhat erratic. The staff changes constantly, and some are much better than others. This place has served me both the best and near-worst donairs I've eaten in the whole Lower Mainland. Generally they lean towards best though. Very clean shop on a rather dingy strip of Granville, so that's a definite plus. Quantity is always enormous - I once got a donair so huge that I took it home and was compelled to weigh it on my kitchen scale. Turned out to be 2 lbs, 6 oz. Quality is also generally great, but occasionally the veggies are old and grim. Take a look at them before selecting, at least if you're in at an odd hour (i.e. not lunch/dinner rushes or late night). The meat is always good, and they certainly don't skimp. Calories for money is 5 stars +. Ate an almost two pound Halifax style while writing this review, and am covered in sauce up to my elbows. It was so good that I'm tempted to bump this review up to five stars, but am still annoyed that they swapped out their banana peppers for jalapeños, so four stars it is. Important note for those who know and care: their "Halifax Style Pita Donair" isn't really what it claims to be, but it's a pretty fine substitute. If you're a Maritimer or an Albertan longing for the donairs you grew up eating at 3 AM, get a Halifax Style, make sure they go hard on the garlic paste and sweet sauce, and you'll feel better about the world. It's not quite right but it's very good. (Further note: if anyone who reads this review knows where to get a proper Halifax donair, or even a proper Edmonton donair, anywhere in the Lower Mainland, please comment. I've been to dozens and dozens of places, and haven't seen one - generally I am served a shawarma variant, which can be truly great, but just isn't a donair. It's bizarre - there must be enough displaced Maritimers here to support a true donair joint, but nobody seems to get it. I'm a displaced Albertan, and grew up eating Edmonton-style donairs, which are a mutant variation of true Halifax donairs, but there aren't even any places around that serve those, despite all the thousands of displaced Albertans kicking around. Vancouver can support an Oilers bar, but not an Edmontonian Halifax-influenced donair place? Somebody has to take care of this situation.) read more

I came here since Mr. Greek next door had closed early. The service was fantastic, likely the most polite and prompt service I've had at a donair spot. My Donair Salad plate tasted fresh and portions were great. Would definitely recommend as a good place for a late night meal on the Granville strip. read more

More expensive than Donair Town a few stores down but well worth the extra 50-100 cents. Juicier meat, better sauce, bigger portion. It's a very slight difference, hardly noticeable, but is there if you bother to notice. Donair Town is good too. I'm not bashing them. I've been there many times and it's great. It's always busy and I didn't want to line up one time so I walked a few extra steps to try Donair Dude. read more

I wanted to like this place so it would be a convenient spot for me while i am here in town. But it wasn't to be. Quantity was lot for the price. Taste was not. Falafel were not at all fresh. Microwaved falafel taste so bad. Rice had no flavor. Hummus and the other red spread were good. read more
