" I randomly stumbled upon this restaurant and what a delightful surprise it was! The donair was phenomenal—spiced just right and so filling. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I loved the extra effort the staff put into customer service, making sure I had everything I needed. Definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the chicken shawarma plate through UberEats and was a bit disappointed. While the food arrived quite quickly, it was lukewarm and didn’t have the flavors I heard so much about. The chicken seemed a bit dry and the quantity was less than expected for the price. I’m hoping this was just an off day and I’ll give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much hype, I had to try Friends Donair and Shawarma. The shawarma was decent but I expected more given the rave reviews. The garlic sauce was a standout, but the meat felt a bit overcooked. Still, the staff was very friendly which made the experience better. I might visit again to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Friends Donair and Shawarma offers amazing food at an affordable price! The donairs are bursting with flavor and the portions are satisfying. Just a heads up; it can get a bit crowded during dinner time, but it’s worth the wait. The staff’s friendliness really makes it special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Friends Donair and Shawarma was a delightful experience! I tried their mixed platter and it was packed with flavors. The chicken was tender, and the garlic sauce was heavenly. Moreover, the owner was very friendly and engaged with us, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. I was also impressed by how clean the restaurant was. A must-visit if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant with my family for the first time and we loved it! Everyone ordered something different, and we all ended up sharing bites of each other’s food. I specifically loved the falafel—crispy and flavorful, just like I remember from my last trip to Egypt. The only downside was that the place was quite busy, and finding a seat was a bit tricky. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Friends Donair on a late night and was surprised by how good it was! I ordered their chicken on the rocks and the flavors transported me straight to the Middle East. The staff were kind enough to give me extra sauces on the side, which made it even better. Will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
