8 at Doneras - New Westminster, British Columbia

One of the best donair wraps I've ever had, highly recommend. Out of sheer curiosity I also ordered their Poutine and it was on the flipside terrible. Genuinely good potatoes(not fries) ruined by disgustingly poor nacho cheese drenching everything. Of course who goes to a donair olace and orders Poutine, ... the actual donairs themselves are incredible Read more

8 @ Doneras is a small little donair shop located on Eighth Street in New Westminster, across from Douglas College and in the same complex as Rong Rong Tea House. I’m often surprised at how good food can be at these little nondescript places. Now, before you rush over here, just ... remember to watch your step when you enter the shop as there’s a small step down that’s easy to miss. On my first visit, I ordered the Lamb Gyro ($6.99) which is served on tikka naan bread unlike their donairs that are served in a pita. This wrap includes lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and sweet banana peppers along with the slices of spiced lamb meat. The gyro was creamy from the sauce and I liked the grilled naan bread that it was served in… overall, a really good gyro. I returned for a revisit to try their Chicken Kebab Platter ($11.99) which is a large serving of salad, rice, and potatoes. The tender spiced chicken was quite good and the meat wasn’t dry (which is often a problem I find with chicken kebab platters). There was a pleasant aroma when they brought this to my table and the hot sauce was really on point. This platter also comes with a serving of grilled pita bread and a crisp salad with a tart vinaigrette. There’s a lot of food in this platter and it’s quite filling. Normally, I’m not into eating a lot of potatoes but the lemon garlic potatoes (which are cut super thick) turned out to be really good. It was another 4 months before I returned here (but I’m not sure why). I remember that I enjoyed their gyro last time (which is served in a grilled naan bread and served taco-style) so I ordered the Beef Gyro. Similar to my experience with their lamb version, there was crisp lettuce, tomato, onions, tzatziki sauce, and hot sauce which was held together within the naan bread. Having had their gyro twice, I figured I should at least try their donair… specifically, the Chicken Doneras ($6.99) which is very similar to the gyro but served in a pita wrap. They have a number of different donairs but this is one of their standards with just meat and veggies on the inside. Compared to the gyro, the pita wrap is slightly thinner than the naan but easier to hold and eat. I’m not sure why, but on all of my visits, this place was relatively quiet. Read more

Don't let the assortment of menu items fool you, they make excellent donairs. I was originally a little skeptical thinking that a place that also serves ice cream, nachos, milkshakes, and coffee might not make good donairs but I was WRONG! Very unique and original donair options that you won't ... find anywhere else. I've been back a few times for the jumbo lebanese, it was very filling even for someone who eats a lot. Will definitely be back or will be using doordash/skip the dishes for future orders. Read more

This is the place to eat if you’re hungry and in the New Westminster/Burnaby area. They have very original donairs not offered anywhere else, portions that can’t be beat, and their flavours are well balanced with savoury, creamy sauces. I’ve tried the Spanish, Butter Chicken, Labanese Donair and the Chicken ... platter and my tastebuds were tickled! The donairs (or doneras) were all grilled to perfection, had the right amounts of meat, veggies and sauce in every bite, and were bigger than any other donair place I’ve tried! Best part was, the price couldn’t be beat! The people working there treated you just like family. They were welcoming, generous hosts and even have a couch and video games for you to feel at home. Their laid-back attitude and friendly smiles are a definite bonus and it’s something you don’t see too often at other food joints. Definitely go here if you’re looking for a good place to eat that won’t break the bank. They even do take out and delivery! This place has got you covered! Read more

This is my #1 lunch spot when I am in New West! They have surprising variety for a Donaire place. Food is so yummy and prices are very reasonable for the amount of food. The atmosphere is so welcoming with a few board games and an x box 😉 But best of ... all the woman a assume is the owner is so caring and mother like I don't come in often but she makes me feel like she remembers me everytime and is sincere about how I'm doing. (I never give 5 stars 😉) Read more
