Mr. Greek Donair Shop: Donairs, Donairs, Donairs

Back in August, I came across Mr. Greek Donair Shop, located next to the Save on Foods on the upper level of Highgate Mall. Unless you frequent this area, it’s easy to miss because you can’t see it from the street level.

Ishtar Donair: New West Shawarma Joint

Ishtar Donair is a relatively newish restaurant that opened up in the former Taza Falafel House location on 6th Street in New Westminster. They serve up the same type of food so there’s not much of a change to the interior… expect to find mainly donairs and shawarmas here.

8 @ Doneras: Middle Eastern in New West

8 @ Doneras is a small little donair shop located on Eighth Street in New Westminster, across from Douglas College and in the same complex as Rong Rong Tea House. I’m often surprised at how good food can be at these little nondescript places.

Shawarma Corner: Tasty Donairs

I’m always up for a good shawarma… whether you call it shawarma, gyro, or donair – there’s something about grilled meats on a spit that harkens back to a time when people used to bbq dino burgers on an open flame.

Leila’s Donair Town: Donairs in New West

Leila’s Donair Town is a tiny shop located on 12th Street in New Westminster, close to the Burnaby border, which serves up donairs, falafels, and shawarmas.

Taza Falafel House: Shawarma

Back in 2014, I visited a little hole-in-the-wall burger shop in New Westminster called Burger Burger. The burgers were pretty good but the shop closed up not too long after. Afterwards, I noticed that a middle eastern falafel place took over the location but I just haven’t found the time to visit until just recently.

Quik Bite

It’s been a number of months since Georgio’s Cafe closed on Rumble Street in Burnaby. For a while, I didn’t think anything would reopen in that spot. Well, recently, a new Filipino place opened up called Quik Bite (they have another location in New West).

Donair Star – New West Hole-in-the-Wall

Donair Star is a tiny hole-in-the-wall located on 12th St. in New West.  From the outside, it doesn’t look like much… but then, most donair places are like this.

Pita King (Brentwood)

Everytime I watch the end of The Avengers, I get a hankering for Shawarma.  Seeing as we were out at Brentwood, we decided on satisfying our craving by grabbing some food at Pita King in the food court. 

Paradise Donair

I was originally planning on trying out Ole Ole Mexican Deli for lunch one weekday in April but was disappointed when they weren’t open.  Fortunately, I knew that Paradise Donair was located pretty nearby so I decided to give them a try.

Turkish Donair

Have you ever eaten somewhere and had a great meal only to discover that when you go back, it’s never as good as that first time?

Donair Land – Donair or Shawarma?

Whether you call them “donairs” or “shawarma”, I like to call them tasty pockets of goodness.  Donair Land is conveniently located across from the Joyce Street Skytrain Station but slightly tucked away from the main intersection at Joyce and Vanness.  The last time I was here, I remember this being a busy little grocery store so I was surprised at how good the donairs tasted.
