King of Donair, founded by restaurateur Peter Gamoulakos in the early 1970s, introduced the iconic donair to Halifax, Nova Scotia, by blending the flavors of his Greek homeland with a unique twist. Originally starting with a gyro, Peter transformed the traditional recipe by substituting lamb with spiced ground beef and tzatziki with a sweet sauce, creating the now-famous donair meat and sauce.
Since its inception in 1973 on Quinpool Road, King of Donair has been a beloved destination for over 40 years, attracting students, residents, and visitors alike to savor the original and authentic taste of the iconic donair. As the first donair shop in all of Canada, King of Donair continues to serve up the traditional flavors and spices that have made it a Halifax landmark.
