    10/10 fast food. The quality for the price is unbeatable. I had leftovers from only spending $14 and I can eat quite a bit. The sandwich bread is very unique and flavorful. Firm, airy, with sesame that you can smell before you eat. They give a VERY generous amount of meat, which is well seasoned and juicy. The sauces are well done and complement the fries well. The seasoning on the fries is the most unique thing I've ever had. I don't know how to describe it, you need to try it yourself! Apart from that, the staff as prompt and courteous, and the restaurant itself is very pleasing to the eye and comfortable to eat in.

    Going there from long time, but now service has deteriorated. They even forgot to put meat in the Kabab Salad box. Also, with the original kabab no sauce was provided, until we requested for. But 4 stars only for the juicy meat they have. As, food wise it’s a good place to visit

    Tastes great...not your traditional shawarma. Serving sizes are decent so great value for money....and it is certified Zabiha halal. A must try if you are in the area!

    Let me start with some positive thoughts. I found the service here to be very good and the toppings on my veggie burger delicious. Sadly, these positives were undermined by a very poor veggie patty that ruined my burger. While I ordered a veggie meal, I got the sense that their meat plates are tasty based on the reaction of other customers. So if you like meat this restaurant seems like a good choice for a meal. However, if you are looking for vegetarian food, you may want to skip this eatery.

    Great place to grab some good food. The food is fresh and the sandwiches are perfect. Not too greasy or saucy. The root beer was great and folks are friendly. Place is cozy. If you're with friends, best to head there a little late in the evening. Since Uncle Tetsu is right next door, your sweet tooth won't be disappointed either!

    Overall great - quality of meat was top notch, a little heavy on the purple lettuce/cabbage but otherwise great. Packaging was well presented.

    Generous portion and fresh ingredients. It was a bit dry for me as I personally would prefer more dressing. Overall, I would still recommend this place if you are interested to try some German donor kebab.

    It just was not good! I got their Doner Chips & Cheese + Jalapenos and I could not finish the meal despite my hunger. The chips were under-cooked, the doner very dry and the cheese just worse than kraft cheese!! Like it was just so bad overall. The staff were nice though and we had a good chat about what to order, but damnnn was the food terrible!

    First of all, this is not the first time that I have eaten here, but this time I’m disappointed. The store was hot, and we had no choice but to pick beef or chicken; it was only mixed Doner, and the drinks were at room temperature, no cold drinks, and didn’t even offer cups with ice.

    It's nice and has an interesting taste if you want something light, but it's not filling as there are only a few fries and no rice. My husband had the cheese & fries doner kebab box and it didn't come with any sauces. My recommendation to the owner would be to give a more generous amount of fries.

    Ordered a mixed wrap and it was amazing. The food here is soooo good. Definitely adding as a favourite.

    I was excited to try this place, but was quite dissapointed. I tried the chicken doner box & cheese and the original German doner sandwich. It was way too greasy!! I'm not sure if all doner kabobs are like this. I definitely prefer shawarma over this as it's no where near as greasy. Other than that, the packaging was excellent and the sauces were good too.

    The place looks super clean and cozy, I loved the black ambience and the lighting. We ordered around 10 sandwiches and all of them were delicious. Definitely we're visiting them again.

    I recently had dining at German Doner Kebab, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience! The star of the show for me was their beef donor kebab, which left me craving for more. The perfectly seasoned and succulent beef, combined with the fresh veggies and flavorful sauces, created a harmonious explosion of taste in every bite. The attention to detail in crafting this kebab was evident, making it a standout choice for any kebab enthusiast. The staff were friendly. If you're in the mood for a delectable kebab experience, I highly recommend giving German Doner Kebab a try. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu.

    Got the shredded chicken with fries. Chicken portion is smaller than it looks on the menu screen. Comes with three sauces.

    The place is nice the portion was big just we went there 3 times and all the meals with beef had so bad smell.the chicken was really good

    Delicious doner sandwich, the original diner Kebab is my favorite! Friendly employees, clean restaurant. Their prices were significantly increased recently which is understandable due to the high inflation rate. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Hamza M. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing!! The Original German donor kebab is sooooo goood. And the prices aren't that bad considering how big the sandwich is! The packaging is amazing and the sandwich is stuffed with meat. Sometimes the meat can be dry but the sauces they provide with it are amazing. Just ask to make yours spicy and u will love it..

    The best halal Germani doner kebab in Ottawa. Really delicious and the size is perfect. Very nice staff and friendly, the restaurant is very clean and organized. Fast service.

  • 3/5 Jas Y. 10 months ago on Google
    Only got to try the poutine this time around, it was a good value! I liked that the gravy and cheese lasted to the very last bite! However the gravy and cheese were mainly concentrated on one half of the box and could have been spread out more evenly. The fries could also have been fresher and gravy while good could have had deeper flavours. I would come back since it was a good value and does fulfill the poutine cravings!

  • 5/5 Hunter L. 1 year ago on Google
    My cousin and his roommate invited me here, they ordered the popular doner sandwich. Very tasty, the sauce is great. I like the portion size and the restaurant is clean. The bathrooms are very well maintained. Yusef the Cook was very nice and displayed positive energy with a warm smile! The staff is accommodating. Would recommend and come again.

  • 5/5 Nipun H. 1 year ago on Google
    These food were the bomb 🔥 The original doner sandwich was big & had a lot of meat in it, the box was smaller but had great taste with cheese & jalapeños. Overall I'd say this will hit the spot if you have the munchies 🥴

    Went with my brother this morning, food was amazing. Staff was very friendly. Young lady in the front was very helpful and the guy in the kitchen was very quick with the food. We loved it. The environment was very clean, the music choice was perfect. Loved the experience, very similar to the kebab in Berlin. Will now be my go to place whenever I’m in town :)
