    Chicken plate  Instagram: @hungrytamale

    Chicken rice bowl 8.87/10- this was so delicious, they packed on the amount of fresh chicken they put this bowl on top of rice. We got the donair sauce as well as the tahini sauce (you get to choose 2 out of a few sauces). They had a red pepper sauce that also sounded quite good. They served it with fresh pita bread as well as tabouli salad with olives. The salad was dressed very well I believe in olive oil. The portion size is also huge! Lamb pita wrap 7.32/10- they put a lot of lamb in this gigantic wrap which was nice. The lamb was well seasoned and very fresh. I felt that the wrap was a bit dry even though we added sauces to it and with the ingredients put in it, but it was still good and very filling. They let you choose the toppings for what you want inside the wrap, you can choose from: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cucumbers, pineapples, banana peppers, pickles, pickled turnips, red cabbage, and tabouli. You also have the option of choosing sauce/spread. French fries 8.78/10- these were incredibly seasoned and so crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Incredibly tasty! Donair dude is a great option if you're looking for a healthy and fresh Mediterranean restaurant. They give a lot of protein and their portions are also huge. They're also on DoorDash and Uber eats which is really convenient. We ordered this in during a snowstorm and it came quite fast

    Been coming for the lunch special: $12 for donair and a drink. With cheese $2+, tax and tip, it's around $15+. Pros: - super friendly inviting welcome by staff - can ask them to cut it in half and they wrap the halves separately in wax bags - quick and delicious (added three new sauces) Notes: - on the pricier side, competitors in the area is $9-$12 - don't be afraid to ask for extra scoop of an ingredient while they're putting the donair together, they're rlly nice about it - I like to park in the inside streets for 2hr free residential parking behind davie on the east side

    It's being quite a while since I've had the pleasure of enjoying this "fast food". I really like all the different options that are included - sauces, vegetables and spreads - it really allows you to truly customize your food. The staff are very sweet and don't make you feel rushed. I don't have a picture of it because after my first bite I didn't stop. Solid sanck, I'll be back!

    I was shopping around this area and came upon this little donair place. It's small, but they offer a variety of grilled pita donairs, donair boxes, grilled tortilla donairs, and donair rice plates. It's so mouth watering to see the chicken, beef, and lamb rotate on the rotisserie. The place also carry a few side dishes like hummus, tabouli salad, falafel balls and baklava. The prices are reasonable. If I wanted something quick and I'm craving a donair, this is a nice place to go. I was able to get a beef donair box and customize the topping and sauce on it!

    The original location. Still the best of the lot. I've had mixed experiences with donair dude. Its all in the person making it. I think they need higher standards for training. Some people pile on the spreads, vegetables, and sauces liberally, and some are shy with it. Obviously, the spreads and the sauces are critical to its flavour. So, make like Oliver Twist, and ASK FOR MORE! Otherwise, you may get a sub-par donair. I get mine like this: - chicken donair (you can do half/half chicken/lamb, etc) - No cheese - garlic and red pepper paste - All the vegetables except pickles - Extra jalapeños and pineapple - tabouleh - Sweet sauce, and hot sauce - Grilled extra-long Give that a try!

    Something ( can't remember name) in a box. A full meal!

    We were hungry for a late meal and wandered along Davie. The tantalizing aroma of grilled meat brought us here to Donair Dude. Figured it's worth a try as they were still serving and people still coming and going. I can see they probably mostly do take out. The concept is not unlike a Subway Sandwich shop where you can direct them how to build your pita or whatever by choosing the fillings and sauces to include. The meat is on the rotisserie spit and grilling, but slices are already in bins for building orders. Our food was prepared quickly and we sat at the window so we wouldn't have to wait. It was a lot of food! I managed mine but he couldn't handle it all. The atmosphere is casual and almost divey which is appropriate for the location. Don't trip over the street residents who tend to gather along here. They are generally harmless. For a quick late night bite they were just what we needed.

    Halifax donair? With hot sauce, beef, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, feta, and sweet sauce.

    This place is not too shabby. The place was clean, and the food tasted good. I just wish they had vegan treats.

    A very tiny yet highly acclaimed restaurant in Vancouver near Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain station…read more We stumbled upon this place while walking right at opening, so we got first pick at one of the 3 tables for dine-in. Definitely try to go at opening or when it is not busy, as the dine-in experience is memorable - they place your order in a long wooden board to make it a beautiful spread. We got the Manoush'eh Special which has ground beef, pomegranate, etc and Sham Style which is shaped like a boat. We also tried the yogurt drink which pairs well with the dishes. The only con is that this place does not have free water, but it is no problem to have our own water bottles supplementing the meal. We also got the lentil soup which is pretty good. Definitely sufficient to share one to try, but the Manoush'eh outshines the rest of the items. I loved the quality and texture of the Manoush'eh and just the breads in general. It is a lot of food for 2 people so if you want a snack, you can definitely just share 1. Some people go here for the wraps too. Overall, an affordable restaurant with good food. We got the most expensive items and it was less than 50 CAD all-in, but a lot of the items are around the 10 CAD mark.

On a real whim moment - a friend I was going into town with was carrying on past this joint & said - hey you have to try this Doner - it's good. Oh why not - I said. I popped in & walked around checking out the setup & noticed the freshness & cleanliness right away. I like the decor as well - neat high tables & wood finishing. DS is still a baby - having just opened up 3 months ago. I met the boss & we chatted up a storm. He's a cool guy who's been in Vancouver for over 10 years - originally from Turkey! Ok - you had me at Turkey!!! He recommended the chicken Doner & wow oh wow did this taste of heaven go down or what. The tender halal chicken & Tabouli salad & ingredients as well as added sauces including hot sauce - Mama Mia!!! Heads up for anyone popping in over the next few weeks - the boss has plans for Kebabs & is strategizing how to work in a new grill etc etc. He's real excited about this venture & said I have to come back at the end of February when he hopes to have completed setting up. Sounds awesome - I will definitely be going back! Oh make sure that when you go to DS - show boss the picture of my Doner & tell him to grill it exactly like in the pic!!! You won't be disappointed!

    I had the chicken rice plate and it was good. The portion was decent (huge if you are not hungry)…read more It was filled with plenty of fresh veggies, including eggplant. Yums. The chicken doner was one of the best I had so far. It was flavorful on its own, with a slight crisp on the edges of the meat. It was not dry and was just right. I got to try several of the sauces and my favorite would be the garlic tzatziki and the cilantro. I didn't really like the doner sauce which was essentially ketchup, mayo and mustard. It was too rich for me. It is a self serve place, where you place the order and then wait to pick up the food. Feta cheese was extra cost which was not stated up front when the staff asked if I want it. That is a bit sneaky I feel.

I opted for their greek feta salad. They have a dine-in space but this place is mostly for take out. Their service was pretty fast and they were very busy (it's summer time in Vancouver so makes sense). Their menu is huge and they have lots to try from. I'll definitely come back again and maybe get a wrap to eat at the beach instead. Out of the 3 meats I got, I would say their beef was my favourite - it had a lot of flavour.
