Little gem on Kits. Love the food! �
This is a donair shop with a location in Kits and one on Davie (they did have another location on West Broadway, but alas, it appears that they will be shutting that one down soon). I had the opportunity to check out their Kits location. In addition to their regular menu, which is small and consists of donair wraps and plates, they do also have specials on wraps that change every day of the week. Since it was Thursday, their Lamb Donair wrap was on special for $6.75 (regular $8.60). I got the latter, as well as a Falafel wrap. While the lamb wrap was very tasty, I found the falafel wrap is just nothing short of spectacular. Everything is made fresh: they slice the meat right off the spits and reheat them on the grill, and they fry the falafel right in front of you. I've had donairs at Donair Dude and Koala Kebabs, and I've got to say, Al Basha has them beat hands down. This is a place that I'd strongly recommend checking out for some very tasty, reasonably prices and somewhat healthier food.
Lamb Donair Wrap ($6.75 on Thursdays, $8.60)
4/5
The wrap contained hummus, tzatziki, hot sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a very generous amount of lamb. The lamb itself was tender and juicy, and very well-seasoned and flavourful with just the right amount of spice. It did have a slightly gamey taste that was not unpleasant, just present so that you know what the meat is. All the vegetables were very fresh and the sauces all blended perfectly to lend great flavour to the wrap.
Falafel Wrap ($7.40, $5.70 on Tuesdays):
5/5
The wrap contained the same ingredients as the lamb wrap, but just with three falafels in place of the meat. I've never had a falafel before, and all I can say is, I seriously need to order them more often. They were just spectacular: crunchy on the outside, soft, tender and juicy on the inside, and incredibly well-seasoned with the perfect amount of spice and heat. Again, all the vegetables were fresh and the sauces were flavourful.
