"This place is the best Donair restaurant in town. Service is above and beyond friendly. Food is great and prices are fair. I usually bring lunch to work but whenever I don't, this is where I go."

"The food was absolutely delicious! We had donairs. The meat was plentiful, moist, very, very tasty. The whole wrap was scrumptious and hardy. We also had the Samosa — best Samosa I've had in a long time."
