I go here all the time with my bestie. This is our lunch spot. We love the food. The service is a hit of miss sometimes. The shop is small but cozy especially on thoes cold days. We love getting the koshary, Molokhia and the Hawawshi but try something new on the menu all the time. Really good Egyptian food. read more

Falafel pita. 3/5. It was a bit too "herby" tasting for me but consistency was good. The salad was fresh and Tasty and fries nice and crispy. Overall deal 5/5. Huge portion for $14 combo. I'm looking forward to trying other items including the kosheri! Interestingly they also sell chicken wings. Very good vegetarian options. The small orders menu (eg combos) is not on their website but only in store and on Uber eats. read more

This gem is hidden in the east side! I wish this restaurant was more accessible to central GTA. I would give 5/5 to all the dishes were tried on the menu. This is small mom and pop shop with limited seating, so be prepared to wait if you're going during rush hour. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. I will definitely try again! read more

Huge variety in food. Some additional items are available for catering. We dined in on a cool fall day and it was cozy. We had the hawawshi*, rice-stuffed chicken*, lamb kebab, koshary, shish tawouk, pickled eggplant* and falafel. We also got the hibiscus drink which was strong. (* means my faves) The Egyptian owner also made a homemade pepper sauce which is very hot but very flavorful. The staff was very nice and attentive. Parking available Accepts credit card. It was alll good. Unique flavours. Highly highly reccomended. read more

Aragoz operates as a kitchen and take-out place in Scarborough. There are 2 types of menu offerings: (1) Main menu which is geared mainly towards catering and large orders (you can order online on their website); and (2) Sandwich shop offering Egyptian-style sandwiches and subs (you can order by walking in, or through Uber Eats). They go by the name of "Sandwich Man". We ordered from the main menu on their website, and their ordering platform is very smooth and probably one of the best I've seen (easy to navigate and submit order). There is an online chat feature where you can chat with the chef, and he responds pretty quickly. We asked some questions about some of the menu items, and we got very helpful and informative answers from the kitchen staff / chef in a timely manner. They're also very responsive through the phone, text message, and social media, which makes communication easy (e.g. for arranging pick-up time, customizing certain food items, etc.). The main menu is quite large and extensive - probably the most comprehensive out there in terms of Egyptian food offerings in the GTA. They have all the Egyptian classics ranging from koshary and fattoush, to grilled seafood and Middle Eastern desserts such as knafeh and baklava. Portion sizes are large because they're geared towards catering / party orders. Items that we tried: 1) Grilled Vegetables - Very well done. Loved the charred grill marks on the veggies. Good variety of vegetables too (bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus, eggplant, onion, tomatoes). 2) Koshary - This came in a giant tray of rice (they use sushi rice which is nice and soft), Middle Eastern short vermicelli, chickpeas, lentils, ditalini pasta, and fried crispy onions & shallots (which added a really nice crunch and taste). It came with tomato sauce and vinegar (which we found to be too salty and tasted like pickles). Great dish - loved the mixture and combination of all the rice, pasta, chickpeas, lentils, and crispy onions & shallots. It tasted very wholesome, just like the koshary on the streets of Cairo. 3) Boori (Black Mullet), cooked Singari style - This was quite spicy. Fish size was pretty big. 4) Bolty (Tilapia), cooked Radda (Wheat Bran Charred) style - They stuffed the fish with a garlic & herbs paste, which made it flavourful. The fish had a good amount of meat, but also lots of bones. 5) Grilled Calamari: Sautéed with olives, tomatoes, bell peppers, cilantro, hot chillies (you can ask for it to be made non-spicy, and they'll take out the hot banana peppers), and balsamic splash. This was a great dish. The calamari was nice, tender, and not overly cooked. I liked the veggies included in this dish. The chef is very passionate about his cooking. He was very helpful & friendly when we came in to pick up our order. He explained every dish, what they contained, how they're best served, etc. He was also able to make customizations to some of the items we ordered (e.g. to make them non-spicy, to take the banana peppers / chilies out). Great and friendly customer service overall. One thing to note: For the main menu items, they only deliver if you live close by or place a very large order - otherwise you have to pick up. When picking up, it might be good to bring a cardboard box or large bag to put the food trays / containers in. Some saucy dishes can leak out of their containers, like we experienced. read more

I tried Koshari with rice, lentils, noodles, pasta sauce I tried the homemade ancient grain bread Karkade drink is a homemade hibiscus that regulates your blood pressure Everything tastes amazing! I strongly recommend for all - meat eaters and vegetarians who have difficulty finding tasty nutritious food Give it a try - you wont be disappointed read more

The grilled chicken was good but could use some spicy sauce to pour on it or something. The moussaka had no potato even though it says it has potato. Veggies dishes were good and hummus had a different flavour to it that I'm not sure I like. The kunafa, which I've wanted to try for years now was excellent. My new fav dessert, yum. Added a freebie (fruit) to the order which was lovely of them. Will order again. read more

I ordered a Ramadan family dinner special and ended up with a late, missing dish (the owner offered up bread as a substitute) and tasteless, dry chicken cutlets that were deep fried twice. The only bright spot was the macarona béchamel. Disappointed.;/ read more

Stopped in the plaza for takeout from another restaurant and was intrigued by the sign outside Aragoz. Walked in and met Aragoz's passionate owner who introduced us to his food philosophy: hand-made bread, whole wheat pita, home-made pickles, and the best ingredients. It convinced me to revisit! For vegetarians, Aragoz offers 3 sandwich options: falafel, braised fava beans and battered cauliflower---a solid variety! For meat eaters, there's a wider range, from halal steak to fire cracker calamari. For my first order, I decided on battered cauliflower. Just like the owner said, I could taste the difference in the pita, probably the best I've ever had. Most pita is very dry and brittle, but Aragoz's is moist and chewy, so tasty! The batter on the cauliflower also tasted fresh and the fixings include a rich creamy sauce along with parsley, cucumbers, red onion and tomatoes. On the side are hot pickled peppers, which are juicy---beware taking a bite!---and packs a nice kick. As for value, vegetarian sandwiches are $6 and meat sanwiches are $9. If you want fries, salad and a drink to go with, it's $12 for vegetarian and $14 for meat. Pretty amazing for the quality! If you check on their website, you'll see that Aragoz is actually a catering company and that you can order many more types of dishes as well, which can be ordered in advance, but not as walk in. Overall, I'm excited to have this quality option on the east side. It's a solid place to grab takeout and I'll be sure to try their online menu as well soon. read more

Amazing food and great service! I have been ordering delivery from them for the last couple of months and I always enjoy their delicious food. Can not wait to visit them in the store! Highly recommended read more

Love it, Adam is a very nice bloke as well. Went twice in less than a week. Great food

Hidden Gem Alert!!!! We just order from Aragoz and we where blown away at how good this new return is. The head chief was the former head chef at the Fairmount Royal York. And I can immediately taste the difference of this Egyptian food compared to you run of the mill kebab house. The red lental soup was phenomenal, the lamb shank was roasted to perfection (falls off the bone), the kafta balady was excellent. I also recommend getting the mango juice too. I don't think we'll be hitting ghadir as much not I have this gem so close to me... I was told the sandwiches are excellent too and I plan to try them this week. Thank you, read more

I had to go back to try the catering menu options. I ordered the beef kabob along with the grilled veggie platter. WOWWW! the beef was nice and tender yet super flavorful and the veggies were grilled to perfection. Dare I say, Aragoz made me fall in love with vegetables. I'm so HAPPY and RELIEVED to find a place where they serve delicious flavorful yet they have a lot of healthy options. Thanks Aragoz! read more
