Very modern and bright with great service. Some unique fusion options but did a bowl with lamb and beef. The meat I found was a bit tough probably was on the spit too long. Great options to build your own bowl and good value for the money. I fine some other places serve too much food so the portion was good for me. Also the application of sauces was perfect - because I find other places put way too much sauce in their meals. So many local options but willing to try this place again.

We ordered a legendary shawarma bowl and a Garlic Potato Poutine. They change all the words from protein to bro-tein and poutine to boutine as part of the marketing.

Portion size I was full and even had leftovers for the following day. I'd definitely come back to try some other options

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.

The setup is very similar to Subway where you go up to counter to order, pick your toppings, then you can sit down or take it to go. The food quality is excellent! Not a big menu, but still very good offering beef or chicken in either dish or sandwich format. They also have a number of appetizers and sides to choose from. In the end we tried both the Chicken Shawarma plate and the Beef Shawarma sandwich (or wrap). The beef sandwich was my favourite, added onions, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, Tahini sauce and hot sauce, spectacular! Order it in a combo and you get regular fries and a drink. The chicken dish also came with Basmati rice, roasted potatoes (awesome), salad, hummus and pita bread. Garlic sauce and hot sauce on the chicken, again very good. Tried both the Falafel and Samosa appetizers. They were both very good, but I found them both a bit dry because the don't offer proper dips for them, like a mango chutney or something. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be going back!

Chicken and Gyro on rotisseries rotate away cooking and are served up with a variety of fresh toppings and variations on filling including Falafal.

I'm a regular at the Ajax location, I literally go at least once a week, sometimes up to 3 times!…read moreThis location I am completely not a fan of. Its insane how bad this location is. They don't have dressings for the salads here, only tzaziki which would have been fine except he also put hot sauce all over it. Who wants hot sauce on their lettuce?? I asked him for a little bit of hot sauce on the chicken and he literally put a tiny dot and looked up at me, and when I said "okay a little more" he covered the plate with it, including all over my salad. He was very rude. Even the chicken is better at the other location. Here it was all in big chunks and had a lot of gooey fatty pieces. The potatoes look like they've been sitting there all morning because he had 2 containers full of them. Ajax keeps less of them out at a time so they're always making fresh ones. I'd never come back here. Seriously try the Ajax location, its amazing! Plus all the people working there are so friendly compared to this rude guy here.
