About Donair

Donair is a popular dish with origins rooted in Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine, adapted in North America, particularly in Canada. It features seasoned ground beef or lamb shaped into a loaf, roasted on a vertical spit, and thinly sliced. Commonly served in a pita wrap, it’s topped with diced tomatoes, onions, and a creamy, sweet garlic sauce. Variations may include lettuce and other vegetables. While the donair is rich in protein due to the meat, its healthiness can vary. The garlic sauce and pita contribute additional calories, often from sugar and refined carbohydrates. High sodium levels in the meat and toppings may also be a concern for some dietary needs. Including more vegetables or opting to skip heavy sauces can make it a more balanced choice. Enjoyed sparingly, it remains a flavorful treat that reflects its cultural fusion.
