Halifax Donair - Burlington

After reading some great review about the place, I was excited to try it out..First off, it's really a takeout... it has 5 bar stools for seating... very small dining area.I order the medium donair with cheese and a fries with gravy... Service was fast and friendly... and off I went back to the hotel.And that's where the goodness stop....The meat wasn't very good, but there was a lot of it... the pitas were store bought, not homemade... the fries were just freezer fries you'd buy at any supermarket...Me, and 2 other friends had orders.... and the consequences was. " We're never ordering that again! "Let's just say, we were paying the price that night, and the next morning

If it wasn't for the view out the window of Fairview St. in Burlington, I would think I was in Halifax having my donair (a Canadian east coast twist on the traditional doner kebab on a pita). So, just close your eyes and use your imagination. On second thought, don't close your eyes, because these are the real thing of beef, sweet sauce, onions and tomato, including being messy. I like adding hot sauce and maybe cheese to my donairs; there isn't much in the way of different toppings, just quantity. There are only about a half dozen tall stools at counters to eat at; don't expect to be able to sit down to eat. It looked to me that most of the business was take away. I can't say anything about the pizza, as I haven't tried it. You can get a decent pizza in a number of places, but a real Halifax/east coast style donair. This is the place for that.

I've had 1 or 2 donairs before thought they were pretty good so I was eager to try this place. I ordered the regular large donair with tomatoes & onions and side of Jr onion rings. Got the donair tightly wrapped in aluminum foil and when I opened it was a sloppy huge mound of meat. I could not bite into it because the amount of meat and the bread was soggy n mush from the sauce. The onions n tomatoes were in a pile off to the side in a clump. I ate the meat piece by piece and it was like eating thick straps of a leather belt. The sauce was sweet but watery. Had to throw out the bread onions and tomatoes at the end because it was too soggy n mush. If I was to try this place again I try getting the small donair and eat all the ingredients together nicely wrapped. The onion rings were the only good thing about this visit.

I have never had authentic Halifax Donair, but, in saying that I found it to be delicious! The owners work the store and are friendly and offered samples to us to try before the buy. Looking forward to trying the Donair Pizza!

They have the largest pizza slices ever. The special has every ingredient on top and it tastes phenomenal! Each slice is so filling you would still have left overs.
