The husband was a huge fan of the jumbo Donair, I’m always the one that gets the salad and it was fantastic! I can’t believe we’ve never been here, what a great place with amazing food, it was quick even though she was busy with all kinds of take outs Thank you for serving up a great Donair, we will be back CHEERS

Been coming here few times now, always great service with a smile. Beef donair wrap is the best! And the baklavas are are to die for!

I honestly believe this might be the best donair spot in Alberta! I have never had a bad meal here. The staff is great, but the food, is undeniable. The veggies are always fresh, their sauces they blend together are incredible, and the meat is perfectly seasoned, not bland and greasy like some other places you might go too. Plus, grilling it before they serve it to you, is just the perfect way to button it all up. Seriously, try it out and I highly doubt you will be disappointed. I now have to drive from Edmonton to get one, but believe me, worth it!

Been hitting this place since it opened 20 some years ago. Food is always excellent. And to see the relationship the manager and her staff have is awesome! Smiling and joking and still making sure we were served timely and had great food. One of the reasons I come back is because the manager is soooooo funny.

Me and 2 friends came here on Friday, before lunch. It was pretty damn good. I had the chicken souvlaki. I would say the prices seem a little high, but the price of everything is high right now. I would recommend trying it.
