The donair is the quintessential street food of Halifax that's basically a reinvented Greek gyro. In this messy, sweet, and savory meal, spiced mushrooms substitute for the usual meat and a cool, creamy cashew sauce stands in for yogurt sauce. It all gets wrapped up in a soft pita with plenty of greens, tomatoes, and tangy red onions. Be sure to serve it in foil — it can get pretty messy!
