OT: Best donair in Calgary?

[nosaj]

As per the title.

I need to know the best donair in calgary? I am just trying to do my part for tonights game. Sorry to otherwise waste bandwith

[mic]

A&A Foods is always good (20th Ave and 13th St NW) but I'd like to try out Desert Cafe (52 St and 17th Ave SE), Amin Donair, and Tazza for Shish Tawook (Bridgeland). Apparently Cedar's (across from Northland Mall) is over-rated. Tazza make their own bread on Saturdays and ask to toast it in the wood oven, if they are still open. A&A's are huge but a bit pricey (the medium is VERY big and reasonable)!

I actually have heard of this establishent before. This will be where i settle tonight.

[VelvetJones]

Shawarma place on 14st - 16th ave SW

[Austroilia]

Sorry to sound like a heaten (i realise donairs are like a religion here, nerely on TOPPEP levels) but what the hell is a donair? Are they just a canadian thing or are they something i would know and love that is called something different in Australia?

[BandwagonBasher]

SPiced beef loaf strips wrapped in a moist pita, served with onions and tomatoes, and a type of sauce. Sometimes Tzatziki like, sometimes Garlic like, sometimes mystery sauce.

They might call them Gyros over there. Sometimes it is Lamb meat, or lamb meat mixed with beef. Similar to shawarma.

[Austroilia]

oh a KEBAB! its all falling into place now. some people call Donar Kebabs, which could explain the Donair thing.

cheers, i feel more understanding about the love now, they do fairly rock. pretty much any big night out in australia will end with a kebab

+1, another really good one is down in shawnessy across from Zellers....Dany Heatley always makes a trip there when hes back in town its his favorite.

[Walkingthroughforest]

The Donair place
12-277 Shawville Boulevard SE

There are no better Donairs in the entire city
seriously

[serum114]

A+A Foods on 20th Ave and 13th St NW for sure (I think it's called Jimmy's A+A now, since Jimmy, the son, took over)... I lived blocks away from there for 4 years and still swing by often.

Big, messy, and delicious...

[Ti-girl]

There's a place on 25A st SW and 17th Ave.

In the OK Gas Station.....I can't remember what it's called though right now.

[Mindy]

Jimmy's at 1401 20 Ave NW, hands down and an entertaining place to go as well.

There's not a Donair worth eating in Alberta when you move here from the East Coast.

[the word*]

Be very careful. They don't wash their hands in that part of Alberta. You might end up with a fecal matter special

Do they use donair sauce though, or that tiziki (sp?) like most Alberta shops use?

[nosaj]

donair sauce, they actually even have (maybe had) the largest donair in the world in a window in the back. It was disgusting, but only added to their street cred
