Best Donairs in Calgary?
As a lot of you know I lived in Edmonton from 2001-2007 and moved here about 6 months ago. Anyways, Edmonton had some amazing places to go for donairs. Just wondering what places you guys/girls go to for donairs here. I am really craving one and will probably go get one tonight based on suggestions from this thread! Thanks in advance.

The Donair Place.
215 SHAWVILLE BLVD SE.
Unbelievable, and I believe it's partially owned by Dany Heatley (or just a good friend) because a few of his jerseys are hanging around the place.

Damascus Donair on Centre St. and between 2nd and 3rd Ave, on the west side of the street.
I also really like A&A Donair...At least that's what I think it's called. Jimmy is the owner, younger guy. That is on 20th Ave and around 12th St N.W on the SW corner.

You're now going to have to buy 7 donairs tonight and tell us the results tomorrow of which one truly is the best. It needs to be done.

Frickin amazing, and open late night I do believe. Be prepared for rotten onion breath for the rest of the day after one of those though.

+1, but if you live in Tuscany this is an unreasonable distance away.

Best Donair I've had, and also the messiest. I need a shower after each donair.

You mention it everytime you get an opportunity... 
I believe you said something about it being about as close to Edmonton as you can get while living in Calgary.

Theres a place called Sarah's Delight on the corner of 12th Ave and 10th Street.
It looks like a dumpy little place, but the donairs are amazing!

Is this the one that looks like a convenience store inside and has the Donair's that are about the size of a Suzuki Swift?
My buddy took me to a place sort of near SAIT that had an A in the name for Donairs, they were insane.

+1. Glad to see that this was the first place on the list!! Quite possibly the best donairs I've had in my life!
