" What a fantastic discovery! Friends Donair serves food that is reminiscent of my recent trip to the Middle East. The shawarma was authentic, and the owner is so personable and engages every table. The portions are huge, making it great value for money. A delightful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered from Friends Donair via delivery and it was a mediocre experience. The food arrived late and was cold. I had the vegetarian platter, but it was dry and uninteresting. There are better options out there, but I wouldn’t completely rule this place out; perhaps dining in is the better option. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a foodie who loves Middle Eastern cuisine, I can confidently say that Friends Donair and Shawarma has mastered the art of authentic flavors. I ordered the donair platter and the tastes transported me right back to my travels abroad. The portions were large, and the owner was incredibly welcoming. I can't recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Couldn’t have asked for a better meal! The shawarma was delicious, the perfect blend of spices and fresh veggies. I had the meat lover's platter, and every bite was worth it. The layout of the restaurant is cozy, and the owner truly knows how to make guests feel at home. I’ll definitely be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Friends Donair and Shawarma and it was an amazing experience! The beef shawarma was perfectly spiced, and the portions were generous, leaving me completely satisfied. The staff welcomed me with open arms and I felt right at home. I can’t wait to return and try more of their menu! " (*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*)
