My Donair

Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Montgomery at 5032 16 Ave NW, Calgary, My Donair is a beloved fast food restaurant that has carved out a distinct niche for lovers of succulent, expertly crafted donairs. Specializing in one signature dish — the donair — this spot exemplifies simplicity done to perfection.

From the moment you step inside, the warm and friendly atmosphere feels like a cozy neighborhood gem where tradition meets genuine care. Tommy and his mom, who run the establishment, bring years of passion and dedication to every donair they wrap. Their attention to detail ensures each bite is a celebration of fresh ingredients and balanced flavors.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the donair, available in different sizes with the “Extra Meat, Large Donair” being a must-try for hearty appetites. Imagine biting into tender, perfectly spiced meat, encased in a soft, yet sturdy flatbread that never gets soggy — a fact that impressed customer Kasia Bilek, who appreciated the thoughtful wrapping that kept her meal intact until she reached home.

The classic donair sauce, while slightly mild to some tastes as Erika Goaldway noted, complements the savory meat beautifully without overpowering it, giving an authentic and satisfying flavor experience. The simplicity of the menu is a refreshing departure from complicated fast food options, focusing all efforts on perfecting the donair experience.

Many patrons like Nigel “Top Shelf” Huggett have made My Donair a regular stop, sharing heartfelt stories of visiting the shop with family and praising the homemade nature of the offerings, from the donairs to the tempting baklavas. Speaking of baklavas, they are not to be missed — Sean 'DJ' Vaditron mentions these sweet, flaky treats as a perfect companion to round out the meal.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, ideal for quick lunches or laid-back dinners. The shop’s convenient location and ample parking make it an easy choice for locals and visitors alike. The personable service, especially from Tommy, enhances the overall dining experience, making customers feel like part of the family.

For those working across the street, like cole stevens, My Donair offers consistent quality and a no-fuss menu with the highlight being the addictive hot sauce that adds just the right amount of kick. This attention to detail keeps customers coming back time and again.

If you crave a genuine, well-executed donair that fills you up and hits all the comforting notes, My Donair stands out as one of Calgary’s most authentic and heartfelt fast food restaurants. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a trusted local tradition wrapped in care and flavor.
