Mike’s Famous Donair - Edmonton, Alberta

Don’t eat here until you are under the influence. I ordered a regular donair with fries. The fries were the best part of my meal. The donair has no flavour. The sweet sauce is actually sweet disappointment. All it does is “moisten” the meat. It has no flavour. NONE. Now ... I’m left with the strongest onion after taste. Honestly, won’t be returning. The $55 I spent for 2 regular donairs, 2 fries & 2 can’s of coke for my partner and myself was definitely not worth it. Read more

We got two shawarma wraps tonight, one ended up in the trash, drenched in hot sauce, not wrapped properly and falling apart. I don’t know what the owner is thinking serving food like that. Attempted to call and complain but no one answered the phone. Second wrap wasn’t much better. The ... owner (?) seems miserable like he doesn’t want to be there. Maybe time to hire friendly staff with customer service skills and prepare food people can actually eat. Waste of money. Will not be back. Read more

Place might as well serve dog meat. It's garbage drunk food. If you're not drunk do not eat here. Meat is cold and pale . There is no donair spit(rotisserie) even in sight. Its pulled out no where .Cheese doesn't melt because the meat is cold. Worst donair in the ... city. Also after telling the owner cheese isn't even melted said "cheese isn't supposed to be melted". Service is also horrible and no attentiveness to quality or service. Also ordered mozzarella sticks with the donair . They do not service a marina which is odd. The mozzarella sticks were hot and cheese melted within them but taste was like old fryer oil . First and last time I will eat here. Read more

In a return visit to Mike's Famous, it's clear that this establishment has taken strides to refine their culinary offerings. The previously noted issue of excessive saltiness has been addressed, resulting in a more balanced flavor profile. The battered fries used in their poutine are a standout, offering a satisfying ... crunch and pairing well with the rich gravy and cheese curds. The donairs, too, are a delight, generously loaded and full of flavor. Service remains efficient and friendly, with staff promptly delivering orders to our outdoor seating area. The atmosphere continues to be bright and welcoming, a testament to the establishment's consistent upkeep. The overall experience at Mike's Famous has improved, showing that they are responsive to feedback and committed to enhancing their customer's dining experience. Read more

I've been here a few times over the years as they do offer later hours due to their being on Whyte Ave. I have to say though the last time I was here they really nailed my Donair, it was GREAT. The staff that evening did a really good job ... and my Donair was the best one I've ever had here. I like my Donair with just meat cheese and sauce (Extra cheese and sauce), so they recommended I go with their White Donair, I was hesitant but I said sure and I was not disappointed. I hope they keep that level of quality up. Read more
