Nestled in the vibrant heart of Vancouver at 403 W Broadway, Donair and Sub House stands out as a prime destination for lovers of hearty, flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine with a Canadian twist. This cozy restaurant captures the essence of donair culture, serving up succulent, well-seasoned meats wrapped in soft, fresh pita or presented as generous platters that satisfy every craving.

The culinary experience here is nothing short of delightful.

The platters are especially noteworthy, offering ample portions that feel like a genuine feast without compromising on freshness or taste.

Overall a good experience for a Meat and Fresh Veggie Salad + Side via UberEats and this branch from experience is definitely better to the sister in Burnaby. Falafel was dense, had a yummy baked texture I've never tasted before compared to others and tasted fresh. I was hoping for more than four puck's per portion, but it was delicious and a great veggie meal. The salad was also great, fresh and crisp. Support local businesses!

Amazing donairs and platters! The meat is always well-seasoned and cooked perfectly, portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh. The platters are especially filling and great value for the price. Staff are friendly and service is quick. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving good food.

I really liked the Burnaby location, and I used to frequent that one often. I must say I think I like this one in Vancouver even better. They have everything I like: good portions, generous staff, tasty food, and decent pricing. It's nice they’re open late, and I also appreciate that they’re always so clean in here. Will definitely be back now that I live in the area.
