“ Great service and delicious food. I ordered lamb. The meat was tender and full of flavour. The aroma was not overpowering yet you could smell it from down the street. The restaurant is a fair size which is good for even large groups. I cant wait to come back to this place. ”
“ While staying at a hotel on Denman Street, I was exploring nearby halal options and stumbled upon AlHadbah Donair on Robson. I'm so glad I did! The lamb platter was delicious and incredibly filling. It's a strictly halal restaurant, offering authentic Arabic cuisine. A great find for anyone looking for a genuine halal meal in the area. The flavors were truly authentic, and it was clear they use quality ingredients. I'd definitely recommend it for a tasty and satisfying meal. ”
“ My second time coming by and second time enjoying my food. I had the chicken shawarma last time, but was so good and gone before I remembered to take a photo. This time I ordered the falafel plate and it was delicious! Perhaps the best tasting and freshest falafel I’ve ever had, they were making it as I walked in. The service has always been friendly, they keep the place clean and with and easy flow despite the small space. Both times I’ve been by is on a rainy day, but they have a coveted covered patio area so it’s perfect to eat al fresco outside. It’s becoming one of my favourite spots. ”
“ This local grass roots authentic joint is awesome! Mediterranean food by far is incredibly underrated and absolutely delicious. This is the best Middle Eastern grub joint in downtown! Extremely stoked about how good this place looked from reviews, super cool and did not disappoint. The guy working here was super generous, extremely kind, talented, approachable and very friendly. The falafel is literally to die for, they whip them up and fry em' fresh to order right in front of you. Delicious and gigantic falafel, the perfect balance of not too oily or dry and crispy fresh to order with a killer homemade hummus dressing, topped with kickass hot sauce. Everything has that good old homemade with love, pride and outstanding effort factor. A great experience, would certainly go back and cannot wait to be honest. Support local businesses! ”
“ One of the best shawarma places. They're friendly and yhe food is awesome. Their servings are big too. I'd say it's the closest to maditranian food that I've had around here. The place is a bit small. You're better off taking the food to go or sitting outside. ”
“ Very Juicy Chicken and fresh vegi Wrap ! All Alhadbah crews so nice and highly recommended to add some spicy sauce, if you like. ”
“ Delicious! It is the only place I go downtown for chicken shawarma and falafel. Their chicken shawarma platter is large and very tasty. It's my favourite. They make the best falafel, always fresh. As someone with a severe IgE peanut allergy, I am happy that they do not use peanuts at all - only sesame - the proper way. I am also IgE allergic to pork so appreciate having a Halal option for food nearby. The owners are very nice and their place is also safe for my asthma (never smells like perfumes, sprays or strong chemicals like some restaurants nowadays). It is clean and you can smell the delicious food when you walk in. The food is always fresh. They also have an outdoor patio for people who prefer to eat outside. Highly recommend! ”
“ The Chicken Shawarma plate is outstanding! Must visit in Robson St - Vancouver Downtown. ”
