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

[Llamamoto]

Best Donair (name of joint)
149 St & Stony Plain Road (Jasper Gates)

My latest goto place.
Not the biggest, but real value pricing.
The guy running the joint does a superb job.
I get a jumbo w/ extra cheese no lettuce and it’s around $10-11

Definitely recommend !!

You need lettuce in donair. Just saying.

I really miss donair in Qatar. I just ordered this 'doner' from a shawarma place and it wasn't good at all. The meat was the right type, but there was no sweet sauce and the bread was Saj. All around bad experience.

Dream Donair doing kind of a help the homeless with a free meal type thing.
Pretty cool. Hear their fries are top notch

I was so excited to have a King of Donair in Sherwood Park, and then I read this thread. But it’s still the best I’ve had. The meat was crispy and tasty, and lots of onions. I must have low standards for donairs...

Tell that to the Halifax pureists.

What does a halifax pureist have on theirs?

I always thought lettuce, tomato, onion and sweet sauce was the standard

I think those are all needed. Sweet sauce especially. Without it/with another sauce the donair is too salty and just tastes like any other wrap.

I like making my own domain meat and playing around with the ingredients or even smoking it a bit.
Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a garlic/dill/ sour cream sauce for me.
Just never liked the sweet stuff

Well I did get around to checking out the KoD in Sherwood Park and it was similar to the Halifax experience. Delicious meat, soggy pita, but a smaller portion than the Halifax joint.

I think the difference that makes them soggy may be that their sauce is a little runnier than the ones at most of the local shops. Definitely think they make a good donair, but the messiest of the lot (and I've yet to find a good donair that isn't messy). Looking forward to trying their donair plate next time I stop in.

All in all though, my favorite in Sherwood Park is still likely Roma, and in Edmonton Simon King.

While I love me a good doner, I think chicken Nuggets should be the official food of the Oilers. Every game I went to this season I would religiously sneak in 50+ nuggets from Burger King (10 nugs for $3 bucks!!!). I’m known around the section as the Nug guy and share with whoever wants some.

Exactly! Every Donair I’ve ever had ended up as soup by the time I got to the bottom. I just don’t know any better. I’ll have to try Roma.

Whats the best donair place on the southwest side of town?

Ask for easy sauce. My donair experiences have been night and day better since doing this. Plus, you get to taste the meat more.

KOD has some of the most flavorful meat in the city

My donair palette is pretty limited, I live a couple blocks from Stadium Donair so whenever I’ve got a craving I usually head there. Other than that it’s just the 2am post bar stop where it’s amazing no matter the actual quality. Was inspired by this thread to expand my horizons and made the trip to try Queen on 50st/129ave this past weekend. Gotta say I was a little underwhelmed, not that it was bad by any means but nothing exceptional. Didn’t really feel the value was there for what I paid either. If it were local to me I’d probably go there more often, but it definitely wasn’t worth the trip for me.

Cross the river to capilano and try top donair 50th and 101st or simply on 50th and 90th. Both excellent.

Honestly there’s not many. Way more in the southeast for some reason. Try Amean on 99th and 34th. Great prices. A little greasy but not too greasy.

I drive by Top daily on my way to/from work so I’ll have to give it a shot.

 

[Dorian2]

If you're up by the Stadium take a little trip North on 82 Street to 144th Ave. Swiss is on the left....or skip the dishes.

Lettuce on a donair is flat out ridiculous.

It just isn't done, not in the heartland of donairs in Canada it isn't.

Just..................no.

 

[Jamin]

Missing out. The sweet sauce coats the lettuce. Blends really well with the onion and melted cheese
