Donair... Reminds me of Italy for some reason. Love the food love the taste not one but buy 2!!!. Can't wait to eat more, good job making them. 5 STAR read more

On a trip to the city for doc appointment we left home early and finished after 12 pm. With no breakfast we were hungry heading out of town, and donairs popped into my head. With covid, we needed something to eat in the car. Yelped donair because it is something we both agree on with out comprise. Jumbo didn't disappoint. Fresh ingredients with piles of tender tasty meat, sauce to die for, and the pita stood up to the task. I was unable to go in but my wife came out remarking how friendly the guy was and what impressed her, before she ordered, he gave her a taste of the meat. She couldn't finish hers but no way was I not doing mine the justice it deserved. read more

We decided to check out and offer some support to local Jumbo Donair after we heard about the owner being kind to lesser fortunate man earlier in the week. The story of the owner's kindness made the news about how he gave a man a meal for free because he was hungry went viral and Edmontonians have been making a point to go down to this business to show their appreciation. We were just down the street so we decided to check the place out. Landon picked our order up and TV crews were still there. We ordered a large donair that Landon said was the best donair he ever had! I had a chicken hot dog, which honestly wasn't the best hot dog of life. To our delight, the lovely owner gave us a free poutine which was SO GOOEY AND FULL OF GRAVY AND DELICIOUS. Jumbo Donair is a place that supports Edmontonians and offers support to those in need. Give them your business and spread the word! :) read more

Very satisfied! Best Donair I've had...in a while. I won't go so far as to call them "the best". There are just too many shops and too many taste buds to test it. Regardless... I am really impressed. Increadibly personable and friendly staff. Even offered me a sample of the beef while I waited. Beef is anong the best I have tried. Well seasoned and juicy! Veggies is where they really shine. My "standard" topping are lettuce, onion & tomato...and yeah...they have these. But they also have some more, interesting options. I had to try the spiced onions with parsley and the tomato & cucumber mix. Fantastic change of pace! Pita was fresh and soft. Sweet sauce was...good. I was a little disappointed in the sauce. It certainly wasn't bad...it just wasn't as good others I have had. Certainly not a deal breaker! Great value. I had a large donair and it was actually more than enough. At ~$9.50...I was "stuffed". In the event that you have a bigger stomach than me...they still have the Jumbo size to ensure you leave full! Another milestone they acomplished was my need to wash my hands after my meal! Call me crazy...lol...or a slob...but rarely have I found a genuinely satisfying donair that I can walk away from with clean hands! All in all...I am very happy that I had the chance to scratch Jumbo Donair off my list as I continue my quest to sample every donair E-town has to offer. I would be thrilled to call this my local shop! Such as things are, I would highly recomend them and regardless if where my quest leads me...I will return! read more

Not the same pre-COVID, different owners. Not the same quality food. And the one cook didn't understand what goes in a simple mixed donair poutine. read more

Yumbo Donair! We had the beef donair and chicken shwarma and both were very satisfying. The meat was nicely seasoned and the toppings were fresh and diverse. I especially like those florescent pink pickle things. What are those? They're so salty and crunchy! The prices are very reasonable and so we'll definitely be back. Maybe to try their falafel.They also have a few baked items that you can take home. All of which were fresh and looked delicious! I think we were served by the restaurant owner. He was a really friendly guy who greeted us with a big smile. Another business that obviously takes pride in their food and service. My only complaint... napkins were not easily accessible at the tables. We had to ask at the counter for extras and like any good donair, these babies were a bit messy. read more

Service from donair guy very subpar. I was standing by the cash till needing some service (specifically from the Mercado's Bakery guy, who was in the back). After he (the donair guy) finished with his existing customer, he ignored me (now the only customer in the store) and just stared out to the front window, while I stood there right in front of him wondering WTF is he not acknowledging me. After a long wait, he finally said something. Note this is NOT a review of the food. I've not tried the donair, so I can't fairly say anything about that. read more

This place is amazing! I don't normally leave reviews but this time I had to. Honestly the tastiest donair I've ever had in town and I've had many. The portions are generous and the meat is flavourful. Wasn't sure what to get between beef or chicken so I decided to get a mix donair. Best choice I made.. every bite was juicy and veggies were insanely fresh. Workers are very welcoming they gave me a sample to taste of the meat without even asking. Give this place a try you will not regret! read more

Not only are the donairs here amazing, but the owners and staff are SO friendly and seem genuinely happy to serve you. There are a lot more variety in the toppings here, they serve banana peppers to pickled turnip! The owner is very proud of his pickled turnip and they're pretty yummy! We usually pick up two donairs and a poutine to share among us, and we are SO full after. The meat is not your typical donair meat. The owner is also super proud of how tender and flavourful the meat is! It definitely is different and a lot softer. It's also a lot less salty than other places. And even after the guy there gives us little baggies of extra toppings incase we decide we need more toppings - even though he literally packs the donair with what you want. How nice!! I actually think that I eat more donairs by living close to this place... going there is such a pick me up because the staff are so nice it instantly puts you in a good mood. read more

So I am working nightshift and decided I would like a Donair. The neighbourhood that I work in is not familiar to me. So I came on yelp to find a good Donair place near my shop. Well #1 hit was Jumbo Donair. I'm so glad people rated this place. It definitely deserves the 5 stars it has. Very friendly when you first walk in. Very clean and I have to say this is now my go to for Donair in the city!!! Wow, it is the absolute best Donair I've had in Edmonton. The selection of veggies and toppings are plentiful and fresh. If you've never tried pickled turnips (I have many times and keep a jar in my fridge lol) on your Donair do yourself a favour and giive'em a go. I had the jumbo Donair with cheese, onions/ green onion mix, pickles, pickled turnips and the mixed tomatoes. I cannot remember what it's called. Once again I have to say best Donair in Edmonton hands down. So if your on the south side and craving Donair believe me you will not be disappointed. Cheers Dino. read more

I will join the chorus. This places isn't just good. This may well be the very best donair shop in Edmonton. I have been on the hunt for quality, well-priced donairs for some time. While doings so I've been holding off on posting reviews as I want to make sure that I'm not overrating one when the next best donair is around the corner. I think it's time to start the reviews, now that I've tasted Jumbo Donair. The prices are fair when looking at the menu, similar to other restaurants, but turns out the prices are absolutely a steal when you taste the food. After finishing my regular beef donair with sweet sauce and all the toppings I found myself scouring the packaging to see if I missed a piece of beef. I seriously contemplated drinking the left over sauce. It was that good. The array of toppings is immense and the flavour with each one of them combined together, at least for my palate, was exquisite. The chicken looked tantalizing. I am a beef fan but this is the first place I have seen where the chicken actually looks moist. Maybe next time because there will be a next time. Please do yourself a favour - drive across the city if you need to - check out Jumbo Donair. read more

We came here for dinner last night and we really enjoyed our food. The customer service was good and the dining area was very clean I had a large beef salad and was able to choose whatever vegetables I wanted in it. My husband had the donair and fries. The prices are very reasonable. This is now one of our favorite places for food and we will return in the future. read more

The guy here is always friendly and talkative, he threw in a free bag of fries without asking when I ordered 2 regular beef donairs. The donairs are loaded with well seasoned beef. I recommend this location as one of the best Southside spots in Edmonton! read more

Our new favourite Donair place! The shawarma I had was excellent - best I have had since we were in Israel. Selection of toppings is great, he makes all his own delicious sauces, and my son's Donair was truly worthy of the name "Jumbo"! The owner is very friendly and provides quick and excellent service. I would recommend it to anyone! Tucked in behind McDonald's, it is a great find! read more

Best donair in town....the jumbo donair is big enough to feed a small village.....it tastes so good that you can't stop eating until it is finished. Highly recommended read more

Basic selection, basic sauces, basic taste and basic portion sizes. Not a place for "wow mindblowing" donair experience. EDITED: Surprisingly, after eating the whole donair it did not leave me in food coma, And the overall taste, although oily, was fresh and flavorful. Not too bad after all! Updated to 4 stars. read more

We're from New Brunswick and found our new home here at Jumbo Donair. We've never experienced such warm familiar service at a restaurant. We feel like family every time we go and my kids especially love the staff. Food is delicious, too. Huge portions, great tasting meat, and their Halifax style sweet sauce not only tastes great but is a perfect consistency--not always the case eating donairs out West. Highly recommended! read more

Good donair. Nothing special, wouldn't have again but wasn't bad. Other places are better though.

Been going here since the open. I'm from the east coast where the real donairs are With that being said, I love the food and the passion the owner puts into the food. The portion size of the platter is significant, I share one with my wife unless I have fasted for 2 days. Everything is made according to your preference. I eat out a lot and your not going to do better in Edmonton. read more

Fast, friendly and delicious! The owners got a hands on approach and gives you a bite o' meat while you wait :)

I went after I heard this guy has a huge heart and was helping the community. But the food was amazing!! I got the #3 combo and loved it. So much meat, so juicy. The only downside is that it seems very unhealthy :( oh well. 10/10 for taste! read more

I've been to most Donair shops in the SE of Edmonton and this is hands down the best. Owner and staff are friendly and talkative. Toppings are great and fresh with an amazing selection. The meat is flavorful and unique, where as most other shops pretty much all taste the same. Prices are unbeatable, the Jumbo is enough for 2 meals but so good you have to finish it. read more

Great donair and a great price, whether you crave a beef donair with sweet sauce or a chicken shawarma with garlic sauce Jumbo donair has it. For a variety of tastes this place has it. Toppings are always fresh and haven't found a better tasting donair on the south side. Highly recommend checking this donair out! read more

Nice guys and great donair. Had a falafel donair and it was great. Falafel made in-house and veggies were fresh. Great service and food. Happy I came! read more

Very delicious, excellent customer service. Last time, I have given a sandwich that is not meant to be ordered, it was my mistake that I hadn't given the correct name, even though, they insisted on making me another one and gave me the wrong order for free. It wouldn't be recognized unless the owner has made sure that I got what I have asked for. On all above the employees were very friendly and smiling at everyone all the time. read more

Best Donair in town! Came here coz of the good reviews and it did not disappoint The chicken and beef Donair are really good but the mixed is the best. Good portion, price and the owner is super nice! Thank god i live close read more

This a pretty standard donair place. We tried their regular beef donairs with sweet sauce. Both the meat and sweet sauce were adequate, but nothing special that would set it apart from other donair shops in the city. The owner was very nice and welcoming. read more

Awesome is the best way to describe it! Owner is a great guy and his donairs are top notch! Huge servings (he did warn me if need a nap if I ate a whole jumbo - feeling sleepy), fresh ingredients, great price! Only negative is its too close to home - I'm gonna be there all the time! Keep rocking the great grub! read more

One of the best donair shops in Edmonton! It has become one of my favorites this past year! The meat is delicious and the veggies are always fresh! And they let you sample the meat before you buy which is awesome! They have great customer service as well!!! I highly recommend going here if you love donairs! read more

Just picked up a Regular Cheese Donair with dill sauce and a Jumbo cheese Donair with tzizeki sauce. The server gave me a piece of fresh cut meat right off the roast, to taste, yummy. I think it's the biggest Jumbo I've ever had, the regular was quite big as well. Good Proportions Might have to get just a large, next time.The server was very friendly. Give them a try... read more

My son LOVES this place whenever he wants to go for a donair he asks for this place!! Prices are very reasonable and you get your money's worth in food! So tasty and delicious! Highly recommended!! read more

The donair itself is more of a three-star production prior to being offered a wide range of toppings, some very friendly service, and a clean dining room. Those three things bump the donair offered by Jumbo Donairs up one more star to a four-star experience. The men's toilet needs a great deal of love and attention, but I'd imagine that the owner of Jumbo Donairs or his landlord will get around to sorting that out. This guy will do alright in this location, I'd imagine, provided the rent isn't too high. Recommended. read more

A great find. Unfortunately hidden behind a McDonalds, making it easy to miss. Wonderful, kind service and great donairs. Their meat is really delicious and there is a great selection of toppings. Definitely recommended. read more

I used to go to Charles smart donair on white it was the best around at the time. but they closed down. been checkin out other places and am in love again!! Jumbo Donair was very fast and what the other reviews are true. I took a chance and ordered a regular Donair. one size up from regular. my mouth wants to go back for more but am full right now. place was clean and bright and friendly service. even got a sample of the meat as she prepared it. omg was it good!! Huge assortment of toppings to choose from. fresh and flavourful. the meat filled the pita and the toppings were overflowing it. I had not finished it and was ready for more but alas I was too full for more. I shall be back!! the meat was soft and tender and flavourful. just melted in my mouth. Finally a place that cares about quality and flavour and taste while keeping costs down. you want to talk about the best it rivals Vancouver too!! I have one favorite place in new west but ya I come here first if I could!!! ty all other reviewers for sharing this awesome place read more
