My Donair

I use to love this place I would drive from NW just to get there Donair Meat, But last time I went it was awful. I think they changed I wish they’d bring the old meat back!!!

Really enjoyed my first visit here. Donairs were really tasty and the staff were very pleasant. We will definitely eat from here again

One of the best donairs you can find anywhere in Calgary, service is always good! Lots of options on size of donair as well

Just had some donairs for supper and I must say they were quite delicious!
My husband was wishing he had ordered the largest one, just to have some more!
Meat is delicious, I had mine with garlic sauce, incredibly tasty but wow my breath must stink now! ;) also had a Caesar salad which was plain but nice. I like Caesar salad anyway I can get it.
Also ordered a cheese pizza for the kiddos, they enjoyed it quite a bit! Delivery to our hotel was quick, and they even brought us a 2L pop!
Wish we had a place like this in our neck of the woods, great donair!

Owner was super friendly and portions were huge. My donair had tender, flavorful meat, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions and sweet garlic sauce with mozzarella. Sooooo good. Had to eat half of it before I took a pic. Will be back!

3.5 stars.
Let’s put this out there: there is NO great shawarma/​donair in this city. There, I said it. No ifs, buts or maybe. There is none, period.
That being said, My Donair is quite good. The meat is juicy and flavourful, they give you an option of 4 – 5 sauces, and the donairs come in various sizes. The prices are surprisingly affordable. Especially if you’re going with 2 other friends because they have a ‘Buy 2, get the 3^rd free’ option. If you do this, each shawarma works out to roughly 5 – 6 bucks! REALLY good deal. The owner is also very friendly.
As a girl who’s pretty much lived on shawarmas and donairs during university, I’d love to give this place some suggestions:
— A bit more stuffing in the sandwich would be good.
— Maybe make your garlic sauce a tad bit more garlicky.
— Toast /​grill your donair after you’ve made them, and THEN give it to the customer.
Other than that, this is a really good find if you’re in the area and craving some donair!

I think I might have a new lunch spot for my time here in Calgary. Donner kebabs are a world-​wide staple and you may be more familiar with them in Greek restaurants. It’s that spinning slab of meat that they slice and then serve on a warmed pita bread with assorted veggies and a sauce of some sort. I’ve had them in the UK, in Germany, in Switzerland and even in the Netherlands. It’s a classic.
Here in Canada, it’s exactly the same and «My Donair» has a pretty solid system. In addition to beef, they also offer a chicken and a veggie. Veggies include tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, hot peppers and a few more. Top your donner with garlic sauce, tzatziki or hot sauce.
Wrapped in paper, you’re going to need a few napkins. And feel free to eat in or take it to go. $ 7 for a regular with a can of soda. That’s a pretty good deal and I think way better than the Subway three doors down.

the donairs here are OK, but don’t even come near the awesomeness of Jimmy’s A&A, which is the best in the city. The problem with My Donair lies in the meat, which is IMO cut too thick and has a spongy texture because the meat isn’t ground fine enough (need to double grind it). also, they charge extra for hot sauce, pickles, etc. which is pretty lame IMO.
the young man who is always working and who I think owns the place is quite nice, though. he always makes conversation with me, which is nice. even if they aren’t the best donairs, i like supporting the place cause the guy is so nice.

My preferred go-​to spot for quick Donair and Shawarma fix in south Calgary. Their meats are juicy and the odour permeates the moment you enter the store. For $ 10 I always get the beef and chicken combo with everything in it, including the myriad bevy of sauces My Donair offers: garlic, tzatziki, hot sauce, and the mysterious sweet sauce.
My only disappointment is that in my last visit, they no longer sold my beloved Stewart’s Key Lime Soda, which complimented the fatty sauce derived from the Donair/​Shawarma fantastically.

For some reason this is the best location of the My Donair of the ones I’ve tried. The staff are great and always pack the pita until it almost explodes. You definitly get your moneies worth here.
