| - I haven't been to the East coast, but going into Scotian Style makes me feel like I've been close. They're a humble little kitchen with some eclectic East coast decorations scattered around. I simply had to go whilst in Calgary because a family friend who has spent considerable time living in the East recommended it as the BEST donairs in the city.
We stopped in around 5:30 and although we were able to walk in and order right away, there were deliveries and phone orders ahead of us, so we ended up waiting around 35 minutes until our order was ready. There are only a few guys working in the kitchen so the speed is definitely understandable, but I would phone ahead with your order because, well, why wait!
We got Scotian Style Super donairs, which are made with beef, onions, tomatoes, SUPER good pepperoni, and their delicious donair sauce (of course). In addition to that, we ordered a dozen of their donair egg rolls, which BLEW MY MIND. They fold up a bunch of the beef that they put in their donairs and fry it in egg, then give you the donair sauce to dip it in. Oh my WORD, my arteries were extreeeemely mad at me, but the happiness my taste buds got was absolutely worth it. To wash it all down, we got a few cans of Sussex Ginger Ale, which I had never had before and although they were super good, my Western taste buds actually prefer Canada Dry (yeaaah I know, sue me!). I should also note: I can eat quite a lot and I was JUST unable to finish a large Super donair, with some egg rolls and a bit to drink as well, so trust me, you will most certainly be full off of that amount of food!
I would love to give them 5 stars, but I actually noticed a little bit of a hygiene concern when I was inside waiting. The employees work without gloves, which wouldn't be a big deal but I also didn't see them wash their hands the entire time I was inside. Maybe I missed it but I feel like it should probably be done often enough that I would notice it, for being inside that long, you know? BUT, as this fix is easy enough and I can't say whether or not it was just an off day, Scotian Style will sit pretty at 4 stars! :)
