The donairs at this place are really generous. They’ve got tons of ingredients that make them super flavorful, and they’re very flexible as far as allowing you to mix and match different meats or vegetarian items. I had a combination of chicken and lamb, and it was spiced up just perfectly. Super hot, nicely pressed to get a little bit of a crust on the outside of the wrapper. This is definitely my go-to donair place in the neighborhood.
Chef Ron is a most unusual restaurant. At first it seems it is going to be Middle Eastern, with lots of kebabs and such. But there are also hamburgers, hot dogs, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, pastas, Greek, Chinese, and even tempura! Oh, and American breakfast. So I guess the theme is “There is no theme”.
We started with the hummus appetizer. It was served with tortilla chips, so I guess that’s a Mexican element, too. It was quite good.
I had the Loghmeh, a minced spice lamb dish, cooked on skewers. It was a very generous serving, and was delicious.
My companion had the shrimp tempura, which was also very good. It was served with nicely crisped shoestring french fries.
The house white wine is a delicious Pinot Grigio.
Service was friendly and efficient.
Al-Hadbah offers excellent Middle Eastern food in a counter service establishment with some patio seating on Robson Street.
I had the Falafel Plate, which included four pieces of falafel, taboule, pickles, hummus, tahini sauce, harissa sauce, and pita bread. I loved that the falafel was made to order! The hummus and taboule were also very good. Service was friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.
