  A trip to Halifax is never complete without a visit to the world famous King of Donair!
  Be prepared to get messy but also totally satisfied with this royal treat .
  Many a famous celebrity have stopped by for a regal treat by the friendly staff that is ready to treat you like a king or queen .
  Until we meet again your majesty!

  This was my first time having an 'authentic' Halifax Donair. What makes it different from a Shawarma wrap (middle eastern, garlic & hummusy) or Gyro (Greek, with tzatziki) ? The sauce. It's got a sweet liquidy sauce (tastes like condensed milk) all throughout the dark thick slices of salty Donair meat with just some tomatoes & onions.
  
  Overall, super messy eat..leaving you with sticky fingers but satisfying any savoury fast-food cravings you might have!

  So the donair was definitely unique to Halifax, and apparently London, Ontario... And Anthony Bourdain came here... But overall I would say it was satisfyingly meaty, over the top filling (especially the supreme donair) and would be amazing drunk/hangover food.
  
  For about $12, the supreme donair is massive. Eating it out of the foil will leave meat spilling out everywhere (not that that's a bad thing) and will leave you more than satisfied.
  
  To describe the donair, it's sort of like a gyro except inside the pita is the meat, tomatoes, and onions, with a sweet garlic sauce
  
  However, if I compare this donair to others, I would say the sauce was on the thin & sweet side. Would have preferred a more garlicky, less-sweet, thicker sauce so as you eat the donair, the sauce doesn't spill everywhere.
  
  Lastly, some more onions and tomatoes would have been good. Even some lettuce and/or some sort of pickled veggies. Probably not traditional, but would have added a hint of crunch or acidity to it.
  
  Overall, it was okay, but probably won't be back.

  Visited Halifax in June, spent a little under a week in the city, in that time I purchased a donair from King Of Donair probably 3 or 4 times.
  Big portion, great sauce, significantly better Donair than we have here in the prairies.
