A Wonderful Surprise at A Tavola in Whitby!…read more I hadn't been back to A Tavola in almost 10 years--ever since becoming vegan--because I assumed there wouldn't be much on the menu for me. Last night, my friends and I decided to go anyway, knowing the quality was always great... and I'm so glad we did! To my surprise and delight, Chef Vito let us know that all of their pastas are vegan and he could easily modify the sauces to suit my diet. The food was absolutely delicious--it tasted just like the meals I had in Italy. The quality, attention to detail, and service were even better than I remembered. I started with the fennel and orange salad, followed by a beautifully adapted pasta dish, and every bite was perfection. We left so happy that we chose to support a locally owned restaurant instead of a corporate chain. It's such a joy to celebrate the small businesses in our community that truly care about their craft. We'll definitely be back!

My first point of contact was Lisa, who was an absolute professional from start to finish. Everything on my wish list became reality with Lisa's help. We were able to have the marriage ceremony, Cocktail Reception and Dinner in the same room which was very important to us to avoid travel in the event of bad winter weather. The room was beautifully arranged and the fireplace was a welcomed addition with the -12° temps outside. Our guests can't say enough nice things about the entire experience. The food was beyond expectations, beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The dessert options were works of art, I wish I had thought to take pictures! Our sincere compliments to the Chef of course. The entire staff at Harpo's worked together so beautifully to make this evening a dream come true for us. Harpo's incredible service and their patience maneuvering through a fun loving crowd, all the while, taking care of another wedding in an adjoining room is noteworthy! The evening was made even more special when we welcomed a few guests from the other wedding after they complimented us for knowing how to party. It was such a wonderful experience for ourselves, our family and our friends. Thank you to everyone at Harpo's and we'll see you for future birthdays and anniversaries. All the very best to the Harpo's staff!

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 lunch size is the same I think as the dinner size. The lemon potatoes could have used a little more lemon but overall were great.

Quaint family-own Greek restaurant with authentic Greek decor. Very lively with a festive vibe…read more Service is slow but the servers are friendly and busy. The food is good and portions are big. Chicken souvlaki tender and potatoes are lemony. Calamari fresh and crispy. We tried the Ktipiti (whipped feta with hot pepper) dip and it was tasty, just a tad salty. Overall a good experience and you do feel like being in Greece.

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!

The Whitby location is much larger than the Ajax restaurant and has plenty of seating. The food is exactly the same and believe me consistency is key! We opted for one of our all-time favourites, the chicken breast salad but this time, I wanted to try the wrap as well. We were also generously given a hearty bowl of chicken barley soup which was soooo good (and much appreciated given the day was dark and drizzly). Maimana's dishes are next level. Clean, healthy eating and always delicious.

Picked up a shish kebab (ground meat) and tandoori chicken wrap to go from them yesterday for $25…read more They throw in a hot sauce and another cream sauce and oh my goodness,,, these are among the best wraps I've ever had.. That hot sauce is so good I found myself slathering it on each bite.. the other sauce too.. the meat and veggies in the wrap work so well together too.. Chicken was good and the ground meat was good so I can't really say which is better.. ideally I'd just get both.. Easy place to recommend , especially in Whitby lol.. Can't wait to go back and try their dinner plates..

I had a colleague pick up lunch from here and it was really good, so I had to go check it out…read moremyself! Walking it, it's nothing too different from a typical shawarma shop - except maybe it's one of the cleaner ones I've been to. They do have quite a few options on the menu: bowls, platters, wraps, etc. AND CALORIES! (which I always appreciate). I ordered a small chicken wrap, with the old school toppings, and spicy! For about $9, it was a good size. The taste: very decent! And very generous with the meat and toppings... so I am not sure if the posted calorie is actually true... but oh well. My only issue. It's wrapped like a cannoli - open at both ends. Could I please ask that you tuck in one end so it's a little bit easier to eat? It's definitely one of the "harder-to-eat" shawarmas I've had. It's not easy opening up in the pandemic, so I really hope they stick it out - would be nice to have a new spot for lunch as we go back to the office.

A lot of traffic including walk ins, food deliveries and online for pick up. I love their falafel. Their fattoush salad by the way does not have the fried pita chips.
