Posted: 8/5/2006 10:30:37 AM | | I remember this great donair place that was downtown on 7th Ave. in a real dump of a location half way between Centre and the Bay on the south side. The building is still there (and still a dump) but I know it is some other business now. Glad to know there are a few good places close by to work, I might just have to go check them out. Haven't had a donair in a long time now. | |

I'll second that. Where else can you get a donair made by a singing Lebonese cowboy?
Love that guy, he is so quirky it's great. Used to go there, plus served him at RBC when i worked there. | |

Posted: 8/5/2006 12:40:13 PM | In Edmonton, Queen Donair on Whyte Ave and 105st is good, but Charles Smart Donair on Whyte Ave and 91st is the best in the city. Don't avoid the sauce. Embrace the sauce.

Posted: 8/5/2006 5:34:56 PM | Theres a really good shop on the east of town in the industrial section. The name escapes me for the time being, but take a look for it, its worth the hunt. Theres also a shop just over the tracks (on the east side) of Whyte ave. Again, I havent been there in along time, so I cant remember the name. I just remember those being the best.
What I want to know is, where else but Edmonton can you find a Hot Philly. OMG I love that place, but I cant find them ANYWHERE else!

Posted: 8/5/2006 8:53:21 PM | Not sure who said there weren't any donair places in Calgary, but there's 3 within walking distance from my office.
1) King Tut (11th Ave & 12 st SW) - Pretty much average tasting, and a little bit more expensive than some others.
2) Sarah's (11th Ave & 10? st SW) - Not so great IMHO
3) Can't rememeber the name but it's on 17th Ave near the spy store. Only been there once, it was totally average.
And there's a Schwarma King opening up soon @ 14th & 16th Ave.
That said when we decide to go for Donairs/Schwarma's we make the trek to Jimmy's A&A. I remember one of the last time we went there the 4 of us ordered everything without tomatoes. He threatened to call our mothers...
(Just to be on the safe side, order one size smaller than you normally would. The portions are huge!) | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 1:45:09 AM | I'm gonna have to agree with my sis on this one,
simon kings is awesome,
charles smarts has a good donair but nothing compared to the ones at roadrunners pizza
and I remember going to Chomps once, I got the guy to make me the biggest jumbo donair he could, he told me that I'd never finish it, I love proving him wrong LOL | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 3:04:00 AM | | Best one I've ever had was from Spruce Grove, they advertise the SECOND BEST DONAIR IN THE WORLD, but I think it should be first. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 4:00:45 AM | Best Donairs I've ever had was at the Food Court in
Kingsway Garden Mall in Edmonton. Haven't been
in years though. They also had amazing Bougatsa. | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 12:21:42 PM | | Donair has spiced beef that is cooked on a rotisserie for a long time and shaved off to make your sandwich. Shwarma is chicken that has been broiled, not as spicy, but they both are wrapped in pita with yummy sauces, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, sometimes pickled cabbage and hot peppers. Excellent with a nice bit of taboulli on the side. Yum | |

Posted: 3/20/2007 12:24:14 PM | A Donair is something so freakin yummy that even on a date I will eat one, too bad for him if he hates onion breath.....
but what is even better than a Donair.....
SHAWARMA!!!!
Shawarma King in Kensinston and othe one on 14th and 17th (Mountroyal?) both are awesome, and yes they have donairs too......but who can resist a good shawarma???
Now I'm hungry for anything with lebanese meat....hmmm, that sounded so wrong!!

Posted: 3/20/2007 12:37:16 PM | | ya'll are killing me....so craving a donair now | |
|
| Donairs
Posted: 3/20/2007 1:21:26 PM | Only donair I'll have is the donai subs from Sub's and Such in Calgary (61st Ave and Barlow Trail SE). And it is only because the rotisserie/heater is always glowing red.
If the donair rotisserie/heater doesn't glow, I'm not buying it. I don't care how good the donair is. Something about ground meat left out in the open and bacteria. | |
