OT: Donairs: The official food of the HF Oilers board :Part 2

[A91]

Swiss donair all day everyday, Marcos is meh

 

[Joey Moss]

Any recommendations for the West End? I've tried Lynnwood Donair, Chomps, Mr. Donair and Roadrunner in the past.

How is donair pizza generally? What is on it?

 

[slaman]

Gyro ?

Not the same thing.

There are only a handful of places in the world that make the delicious sandwich made from the Donair animal. The delicate balance of grease, spice, beef, and sugary white sauce is unique to Alberta, Halifax, and Ottawa.

In Toronto, we have gyros, doner, and shawarma - none of these are the same thing!

 

[slaman]

Who gets a chicken donair though?

I was wondering the same thing... you deserve to be disappointed when you pull **** like that.

 

[The Nuge]

Man I miss the north. Haven't had a donair since summer because everywhere in Vancouver is ****

 

[Playa Hejda]

Famous Donair in Sherwood Park, Swiss or bust.

Seconded. He's my go to donair guy out here in Red Light-Land

How is donair pizza generally? What is on it?

Donair meat, donair sauce, cheese, tomato and onions in my experience but I always get it without onion and tomato. I always get it from one certain place that my friends showed me, so I can't comment on all donair pizza, but I love the stuff I've had.

I love Nikki's in Westmount mall. Love, love it. The pitas are fresh as hell, it's good quality meat well-cooked (not that over-spiced blocks of brown you get in so many other places), and his homemade tzatziki sauce is dynamite: thick and garlicky. I'm always surprised it doesn't get more love here - "Nikki" takes such pride in his work.

I haven't been home in a few years. Man, I hope it's still there (and still rockin' the donair).

I get mine with banana peppers instead of tomatoes.

I know a dude that works in a donair joint in westmount. I'm assuming it's Nikki's. He had a good story about the owner bringing in a whole lamb for thanksgiving one year. Haven't tried it yet, but I just might today.

Well...I got a super at Nikki's. Haven't eaten it yet, but it looks pretty damned good. A lady in front of me ordered the medium poutine and it was friggin enormous. Looked like it could feed 4 people quite easily.

Damned...what a fantastic donair at Nikki's in Westmount. Definitely one of the better ones I've had. The meat was definitely not beef....had to be lamb or something. Delicious.

Against my better judgement I went to Brentwood Donair and Pizza in Sherwood Park. What a total mistake. I ordered the chicken donair and told the guy I didn't want the banana peppers on it. I get home and it is stone cold. They didn't bother to cook the chicken. I chicken strips looked like they came out of a package as they were all the same exact size. Zeki sauce was salty. Epic fail. I will stick to Donair Stop by Capilano and save my stomach.

I had a chicken one from Donair Stop last week, haven't had a chicken donair for awhile. It was awful, chicken was dry and hard as a rock. Was there last night though and had regular donair and was satisfied fully.

I like donair pizza, but if you don't finish it throw it in the garbage. I've had from a few places and the next day it's awful.

Yes, only good fresh, not to be reheated...

 

[T-Funk]

Just tried Lynnwood donair on the west end.

Oh my.

Stupidly got a super which I came nowhere close to finishing, but it was pretty damn good.

 

[Seedling]

Atomic Pizza is good in Stony. Mike's Subs on the SS on 51st.

 

[Ganz]

Another vote for Swiss donair

Living in the south, it makes the trip more special

I think Kamil prides himself on this. The supers are roughly the size of a CFL football, so so so good.

Did you try his fries in your meal? They too cant be beat.

Yeah got some fries too.

Fighting off a slight food coma right now.

Finally moved back to Edmonton. Went to Von's for the first time in 4 years, they still have the best prime rib in town. Just awesome with the fresh horseradish. Also had pizza at The Rock they have great thin crust pizza the rest of the menu is pretty meh.

Thats the problem with chicken donairs. Unless its like super fresh, 99% of the time, its just this dry fibrous "thing" inside

 

[Terrifyer]

Amean Donair on 99th st & 34th ave is also excellent. I love High Voltage's donairs though, so take that with a grain of salt if need be.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

No, but seriously, who gets a chicken donair?

Haha. I've been checking your updates waiting for your verdict. I'm glad you liked it. I'm also glad it's still there and doing God's work. I'll probably make a bee-line from the airport the next time I'm in town.

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

Funny enough, I don't I've ever had donair before... Maybe on a drunken stupor?

What's the best place on the south side? And what meat is the best? I'm a big lamb and chicken fan, but apparently chicken isn't a good choice...
