Barg Wrap (Steak) Shawarma Plate…read more We stopped in today and ordered take out for lunch, after a friend had recommended this place to us. We spoke with the hostess and she was an absolute sweetheart. We did not know they have been around since 2008! However, there is new ownership this last year. I must say there's a reason people are recommending the food. There is free parking in behind the restaurant. The interior is cozy and has tables for dining in. We opted for a wrap and a plate; splitting both. The plate was loaded with rice, garlic sauce, hummus and lots of chicken shawarma. Topped with another sauce, this was the perfect combo. The meat was juicy and flavorful. There were multiple dressings to choose from for the salad. The Barg wrap was a steak wrap and my hubby commented on how tender the meat was. The wrap was an ok size and was a nice mix of veggies. All in all we had a solid experience and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Oh dear. I'm afraid something has fallen off the rails at Cyrus. We haven't been here for a while…read moresince we're not in Oshawa often but it was my husband's birthday and he wanted chicken shawarma. I never order the shawarma but he swears it's the best he's ever had. I opted for their barg because it's always been fantastic. Not so much this time. The meat was so over-cooked that it was actually difficult or eat. The salad and rice were great but the meat was like boot leather. Apparently the shawarma tasted as good as it always has however, my when husband dug deep into the rice and put a big fork full into his mouth, he chomped down on a rather large piece of crumpled up aluminum foil. For the life of us, we can figure out where it came from since the food was in styrofoam containers and the only other thing we were given were plastic utensils and napkins. Although my husband thoroughly enjoyed his shawarma (sans foil), I was rather disappointed with my dish. I guess if there's a next time, I'll go for the shawarma too.

I got the Mixed Meat platter and it kept surprising me with hidden layers of meat and a wonderful sauce and sauted veggies underneath. The rice is tasty and cooked properly. GF got the Falafel Plate and really liked it but did mention that the hummus could have used more garlic. It seems that they were using Parsley in most things and not Cilantro, which we personally appreciated. Will be back.

We tried the falafel, chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, hummus, babagnoush, tabbouleh, fattoush and pickled things. It was SO GOOD. Authentic full flavours - Spiced to perfection.

We will absolutely go back and recommend to anyone looking for good middle eastern food in the area.

Chicken shwarma plate and falafel plate were very flavourful and generous (enough for lunch the next day). Falafel sandwich was huge too but my son somehow managed to devour the whole thing. Owners were lovely and we were offered stuffed grape leaves and beef to try while waiting (those were delish too). We'll definitely be back. Location is especially convenient in the summer as it's right on the way to the parks and baseball fields along lakefront promenade.

On this occasion, we got the gyro sandwich and the beef shawarma sandwich. Decent amount of gyro but definitely looks commercially made and reheated. Flavor is good. Toppings were fresh and sauces/hummus were tasty. Beef shawarma was a bit on the dry side but stil decently good flavor. The shawarma are okay sized, not super filled but decently filled. I do feel like it would take 1.5 sandwiches to satisfy me for lunch. Price: Pretty cheap if you buy 2 or 3 so bring someone to share with you!

Ok this is a serious and objective review. I ordered the chicken wrap and five piece falafel…read moreThe wrap is a Lebanese Saj type flat bread, and the chicken is very moist and packed with flavour. Toppings were fresh and balanced. The whole thing has an authentic flavour that reminds me of early 90's middle eastern restaurants. I would give it a solid 4 out of 5. A 5 is not possible. There is no perfect wrap. This one is exceptional. The falafel was equally wonderful. Made with chick peas and not fava. Simply seasoned and fried to absolute perfection. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The tahini dipping sauce is complex with hints of mint (never had that in a tahini ever) very very nice. And asked for a garlic dipping sauce which was pretty standard but very nice. 4.5 out of 5 Overall this is a hidden gem in the world of Osmow's and Shawarma on every corner, this spot is a hit. Tucked back on Mountain across from Food Basics.

This is a bit of an odd place. It's located at what appears to be the back of a building. Although…read morethere are signs on the sides of the tiny building and on the door, it could easily be mistaken for the service entrance to one of the other two businesses occupying the building. Despite my reservations, I entered and walked into a tiny space that actually had seating for 6-8 diners. The really odd thing about this place, it has no windows! There was a very young fellow taking orders at the cash and two adults who I'm going to assume were his parents. I was the only guest at the time and I was looking over their menu on the wall above the counter, deciding what to order. None of them offered any suggestions and actually didn't say anything unless I asked a question, you know, like "What do you recommend?" Silence. No points for customer service. Noticing the two vertical rotisseries, I ordered the dinner plate to go, which included a choice of beef or chicken shawarma, rice, potatoes, and salad. I chose the large size for 11.99. The medium was 9.99. No price shown for small. It ended up being a lot of food crammed into a styrofoam box. And then he asked me if it was "for here or to go?" It was already in a takeout box! I had no desire to sit and eat in this tiny little closet. Anyway, there really was a lot of food stuffed into the box. The salad was delicious. I'm not sure what all the components were but it tasted really good. The fries had gotten a bit soggy but they were still okay. The rice was tasty and plentiful. I had gotten a combination of beef and chicken shawarma and both tasted good but the serving was a bit small compared to all the sides, making it not so great value for the price. But it did taste good. If the atmosphere and customer service were more inviting, I would probably go back but there are too many other places to consider.

This place is small and not the most visually appealing, but the food is pretty good! There are a…read morefew seats, but most people coming in here do take out. It's not exactly the type of place you'd take someone for a date, though. I ordered the Crown Combo for $9.99 + tax. I inhaled the shawarma (well-seasoned meat!), and couldn't stop eating the garlic fries despite them being a little on the soggy side. I'd come back. :)

11am weekday ordered $70 of stuff 3 entrees and some other stuff…read more Beef Shawarma I'd say is best among the shawarma's and other stuff. They made big mistake with my order but they were great at owning up to it and showed exemplary service in doing so. They got the grape vine wraps which goes great with fries. I will go back just for this. Keep in mind shawarma on weekdays may not be freshly grilled but kept in containers they scoop out of, or regrilled. But the beef shawarma good either way. Sauces for sharwarma in addition to regular sauces they have there is also a yogurt like sauce addition that give great taste. But all the side toppings does lean toward the saltier side. I'd recommend asking to replace all with rice. Lettuce on weekday seems a bit old, brown and yellow spots... try to go on weekends Eggplant dip bought separately tasted sadly underwelming but might be a thing for some people. I had much tastier eggplant dips especially the canned ones. Theirs seems home made. Their food is decent 3/5 and service 4/5. You will feel people working there cares, unlike Made in Mexico on main st new location in my recent trip. For competing sharwarma there is always Sharwarma Land on Yonge st to try around ten min drive south. The lack of fresh veggies and meat on weekdays sadly lowers rating.
