Sammy's Donair

Had a donair for old times sakes....used to have them regularly when Sammy's first opened some thirty years ago on Fairview St.. They used to be big juicy and tasty...now they are simply tiny, way overpriced and lousy, but back to my review of todays donair: Bitter disappointment. To make a long story short the original donair used to be twice the size and on a scale of 1-10 the original being ten this sad excuse was a tasteless 2 ( to be charitable) Athmosphere? None excistant. Service? As if the no personality people behind the counter even know what service is. Hey, I'm a customer have some respect since I pay your wages...all you see are sullen expressions and downright disrespect in their eyes as if they have to push themselves serve you and customers a necessary evil.. Well sorry to bother you and if you hate customers that much get out! I will NEVER set foot in your store again!

Their donairs are really the best around, the sweet sauce that comes with the donair is what makes it so awesome. I recommend the donairs to everyone I know and they all love it too.

Well, having spent my university years ( 82 -86) in Halifax, I kinda KNOW Donairs. ( 4 in the morning apres Cabbagetown, Mist Moon, palace). Moved to Southern Ontario ( Oakville) 10 years ago, and mourned the loss of donairs.... UNTIL, I found SAMMI's last year....OMG....as authentic as you will find anywhere outside of Halifax....YUMMMMMM!

First I want to say that I was born and raised in Nova Scotia and this is NOT a Nova Scotia Donair!! However.....it is not too bad. The sauce was alright but something was missing. It just didn't taste the same....but it was close. The meat was on a spit as it should be but was missing a few spices. It was sort of plain. No kick. The service was very good and the people were friendly. The place is a Lebanese place so I was a bit disappointed it wasn't a better donair. The baklava was very dry. Sitting around for too long I guess. Over all if you are dying for a donair then you can get one here but don't expect it to be authentic. I will visit again since it wasn't too bad and as close to a real donair as I've found so far in Ontario.

The donair was OK, but not as good as I had hoped. The size of the donair was small for the price. If you have a craving for a donair then this will satisfy it but just.

I wanted to try something different for lunch and decided to venture to Sammy's. It was not that bad - I guess I was expecting an outstanding donair. For $10 combo, the meal was descent. There is lots of sauce on the donair which made it for a potentially messy lunch. The salad was moderately dressed in dressing though I like a very lightly dressed salad. They do have a different flavour from other Donairs/Shawarama places. Check the place for yourself and post your review.

donairs were not even good i threw mine out...i told them i was not satisfied and they did not care...............i will never go there again!!!!

These are the best Donair's in Ontario, I have tried almost all available in Toronto and they DO NOT match Sammy's! Don't waste yer time finding an East Coast donair in Toronto, just drive to Burlington!

i hate it so much i would never come back there was hair in my donair and the bald guy with the black beard give me problems

Nice place, good food. Not what I pictured, this was more a typical fast food joint then I imagined. For all the talk it is highly comparable to a Greek style Gyros with a sweeter sauce then the Gyros style tzatziki. The service was fine, fast, but not much in the good mood dept. Fine place to eat if your in the area & in a hurry. Remember, bring a spare T-Shirt or a towel, because they sure love to get sloppy.

well first things first the food is nasty!!!!if the food was good it wouldnt matter so much about the rude employees...was not satisfied with my meal asked for my money back the refused me n told me there was nothing wrong with it!!THEY ARE NOT REAL DONAIRS!!!!!dont be fooled!!!

I was told about Sammy's from some friends at work. They constantly talk about donairs. I have tried them and ever since I have been hooked on them. Their staff is friendly and quick and the food is incredible. Keep up the good work

I won't eat a donair anywhere else but save the experience for once a year when I'm in the city - it's that good!

it was excelent and so dilicious. their staff are so sweet and helpfull and so respectfull. and im hoping to go back to that restaurant soon again!

This is a fast-food type of restaurant. We had beef donair with Tahini sauce this time as we were not too crazy about the sweet sauce that we tried before. The donair tasted million times better with Tahini sauce and I like the fact that they put a lot of meat in the food. We would definitely go back there again.

The food there is incredible. I am addicted for life. I like the new menu and the service is great. As long as they are open, I will be there.

K so me and my friends come to sammy's ALL the time and the food is amazing ESPECIALLY the donairs. So good you definatly have to go here if you like middle east foods.

Excellent Donair! recommend it for fast food type sandwich. Others miss it when they move from Burlington. I like the chicken donair better...forget what it is called.

We have been trying a lot of chicken shawarmas around Burlington, this is by far the best. The regular shawarmas are big and there's a lot of meat in it. Will go back again.

My middle eastern friend brought me there for lunch and I ordered the beef donair and the chicken shawarma. I had both with the Tahini sauce instead of the sweet sauce. I was skeptical because most flat bread I've had have always had a very strong odour of sour milk. I was very pleasantly surprised that the bread didn't smell and the meat was amazing. I have gone back 3 more times in the past month.

Rather expensive, but ya get what ya paid fer. Simply the best donairs around.

The best Donairs around bye far.I go twice a month at least.They could put a little more meat in the sandwiches for what you pay.Beware of their hot sauce it will blow your mind.Finish it off with a c.milk.

Excellent donair. I've been the donair capital of Canada (The Maritimes) and this place cannot be compared. They're the best. Very disappointed the took off the Super Donair off their menu though. That annoys me.

The most delicious Donair I've had save for those in Halifax!
