The food is consistently good and delicious, however their online ordering system is the absolute worst. This is the fourth time where my I have placed my order for pickup, I arrive at the scheduled time and the counter staff are perplexed and unaware of my order has been placed and accepted ( with both app and text confirmations). I have heard from the staff on each occasion is that it has something to do with the broken but quasi-functioning tablet. For my sake and on behalf of others, I will gladly purchase a replacement device so this issue is resolved once and for all.

The freshly baked pita that comes with most dishes is some of the best we've had in the Durham region.

Just a heads-up--they don't provide complimentary water, so either bring your own bottle or be prepared to purchase it.

I wish I had a photo of our spread as they were so nicely prepared. The staff were very kind and made some recommendations from the menu and I browsed the nicely laid out store with shelves full of exotic ingredients I vowed to return to try. The sandwiches were tasty; all toppings were freshly prepared and the variety of traditional Lebanese ingredients and sauces in the two vegetarian sandwiches were so perfect together. We especially loved the fried cauliflower, eggplant and arugula combination in the Veg Cut. Beirut Garden was also scrumptious with mouthwatering halloumi with mint chutney on a soft Schiachiatta bread. The smoked salmon was also prepared on the same bread, as their bagel delivery hadn't arrived yet but this was also very good with lots of capers and red onions. The cold cut platter was well put together and the clients loved the beetroot hummus as well. I can't wait to return to try their hot food take out and all the amazing coffees I saw!

Very lovely staff. Took my little one for a workshop, and while that was going on, I ordered lunch. Chicken shawarma was delicious, though a tad salty for my preference, flavour was undeniably delicious. The chicken portion was huge. My husband ate a late breakfast and wasn't too hungry, so he only got a falafel order. It was super crispy and nice, mild flavour. Many other falafel I've tried had an overwhelming spice that made it too strong for my preference, but this was delicious. There were some other workshop participants' parents that were mildly irritating, even to me, as a fellow peer (parent of child in the workshop), but the staff powered through and served them with courtesy and professionalism. The workshop was gingerbread cookie decorating and was a fun experience, however the children were getting a bit bored while the dough was chilling for 10 minutes. It included a kids meal of a main, fries, and drink. My little one got the chicken nuggets, she loved it and ate every piece. The only thing that is slightly inconvenient is after browsing the food section, you need to go back to the front to pay at the cashier, and then return to the food station to tell them the order. Not sure if they can try a different method, but aside from that, excellent people, and excellent food!

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.

So we tried it - between three adults and a kid, we ordered the chicken shawarma, a kabob meal, and a veggie with white beans meal, plus stuffed vine leaves as an appetizer. The fruit punch was very sweet, we added water to it. The apricot paste we had as fruit roll up, not too sweet, tasty so we bought two. All tasted good, we even seemed to have a visit from an auditor or health inspector.
