I had an incredible experience at Tony's famous Donair in Halifax. Their simple donair is hands down the best I've ever had. The combination of onions, sauce, perfectly seasoned meat, and fresh tomatoes made it truly amazing. If you're in Halifax and craving a delicious donair, Tony's is a must-visit!
Had to pay a visit to see what the fuss was about and take try a Halifax staple. When we showed up we were the only ones there but that quickly changed in a few minutes when 10 more people showed up it seems this place is popular as I noticed people taking pics as they drove by or posing in front of the place for a pic. Food wise I ordered the large do air which is basically the same pita they normally use with more meat. Wasn’t sure about the Donair sauce because I heard it was sweet but it ended up being perfect. The restaurant itself is pretty simple and the guys working there are not the chatty outgoing type which is fine. Enjoyed it enough that I went back the next day.
The one, The only, The original Donair Dominator!
To say it was yummy is an understatement! We were lucky to arrive a grab a parking spot just alongside the shop. We also were able to grab a seat at the window and enjoy the beautiful area across from the commons.
Thank you Tony's! You are legendary!
I regularly order pizza for a group of staff. I changed it up last time as I heard the last few times that I ordered for them that the pizza didn't taste good.
This is the exact question I got from one of them, "Where did you order the pizza from? We looked on the box and it didn't say. It was so good!!". I was more than happy to hear that, and will make sure to use Tony's from now on. I think they will be using Tony's for their ordering too!
One of the BEST donairs I've ever had. Staff was great and friendly and the food was excellent. If you want a real Halifax donair, you have to go to Tony's.
This place has never disappointed, my forever go to will be the donair plate and make sure to ask for spicy 🌶️ fries. Thanks crew you always hit the spot
Exactly what you need in a good donair: an abundance of well seasoned meat, a good donair sauce, large portions at a good enough price, and its open until 3AM. I think I went three times in three days (oops…)
They do NOT skimp on the donair meat here, and although it is a sticky, sloppy mess by the end of it, it is exactly what you need at 1-2 in the morning after a night out. Plus, the meat is WELL SEASONED. The spicy (seasoned, I mean. Not heat wise) beef is so good with the sweet donair sauce, and the tomatoes and onions make the perfect combo.
If you have never tried donair before, this is the place to try it, and if you LIKE donair, this is the place to get it.
Tony's was my introduction to the world of Halifax donairs. And I like it a lot. The pita sandwich is full of tasty meat and a sweet sauce. I'd definitely come back here.
Fantastic Donairs and Pizza!! We stopped in to see what all the hype was about while visiting Halifax and both the Pizza and Donairs were fantastic!
Small place inside but we enjoyed the time. It was our first donair. We enjoyed them. I would have liked it a little warmer but the flavour was good. I found them a bit sticky so a wet wipe would have been a nice addition. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. I will definitely will go back next time here
The donair was pretty good but I’ve had better. Good value, they don’t skimp on the meat. Service was ok.
This was our first trip to Halifax and we couldn't come all this way without trying a famous donair! Tony's was very good with efficient service and a variety of options to choose from. There is not a lot of seating but most diners are in and out pretty quickly so it shouldn't be too long a wait for a table, in our case we visited at a quieter time in the day so were able to grab a table without a problem.
The donairs were good, perhaps not to our liking compared to the similar items we have at home but it was certainly the authentic Halifax experience. Would recommend as an item to tick off the Halifax foodie list!
I went here a while ago. The staff must've overlooked my order, but when they remembered about it they upsized my Donair. I wasn't bothered, but it was a very nice gesture. The staff were friendly and courteous.
The Donair itself was delicious. I'm really not a fan of Halifax donairs. I find they are often so poorly made and only rely on the sweet sauce for flavour. This wasn't the case for Tony's. The sweet sauce was delicious, and the Donair had so much flavour to it. This would be the only place I'd recommend going for a tasty Halifax Donair.
The shop is a bit small, and can feel crowded when busy. But sometimes that's the charm of a place like this. The restrooms were clean, the venue was well kept and tidy. On my first visit they didn't have napkins available, on my second visit they had them out. Perfect!
Great food, staff and location. Just make sure to ask for a napkin if you can't see them.
I had middle eastern doner back in Ontario and was curious to try donair here in Halifax. The donair sauce is too sweet for my liking but I can see it may satisfy the local palette. Overall the meat was juicy and tender I can't complain :)
I ordered the donair pizza, regular donair and cheese bites
Not just Halifamous…world famous donairs.
And they got swag!!
This place is legit the best donair place ever in Canada..Had the famous donair in medium and it had the right amount of meat & sauce. I was on the fence about donair but this place has own me over.
I had my Favorite places to get a doniar in NS, well I found the new favorite place. Toss up between number 1. Shawarma is the best I've had on the east coast.
Good Crew, good energy and funtastic atmosphere.
Thanks for the feed. When I'm back in town, I'll be stopping in.
