563 Ritson Rd S, Oshawa, ON L1H 5K7, Canada
This unassuming locale offers familiar Persian dishes such as shawarma, falafel & kebabs.
I put this review for lunches I had at Cyrus Restaurant between 2012-2015 when I was studying in Oshawa. The best shawerma taste I can say still after 10+ years. Today smell of a quality homemade shawerma and humus reminded me that days. Viva Cyrus, missed that days with my friends and Cyrus. I'd never know there would be somewhere to provide feedbacks like google review
Friendly service and fantastic flavours. So tasty and fresh. Wonderful middle eastern delight in low key location. Staff is super nice and the food is so good. Enjoyed falafel plate and lamb kebab. Garlic sauce is outstanding. Everything was Spiced just right. Delicious.
Outstanding Kabob Experience! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cyrus and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The kabobs were the undeniable highlight. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, each bite was a flavorful journey. Whether it was the juicy chicken, tender lamb, or melt-in-your-mouth beef, every skewer was expertly prepared and bursting with authentic taste. The accompanying sides, fluffy rice, fresh salads, and warm, soft bread, elevated the meal even further. Cyrus truly masters the art of kabob making, blending traditional flavors with top- notch quality. If you’re craving a meal that’s hearty, delicious, and satisfying, this place is a must visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! 5 stars, without a doubt!
Barg Wrap (Steak) Shawarma Plate 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.
I work in Oshawa and order from here on a daily basis. Their food is consistently mouth watering and the quality is unmatched. It’s my favourite food in all of Oshawa and actually within the entire Durham region. I’ve never ordered anything from here and felt disappointed. I’ve alway been so happy with the quality and flavour. Would definitely recommend!! They have a wide selection of options for everyone. Thank you for always satisfying my cravings! Delicious and filling
i’ve been craving Shawarma for a couple days now, but the problem was I didn’t want Lazeez nor did I want Osmows I kind of grown out of those places and I realized that smaller businesses that sell Shawarma personally taste way better to me. I’m glad I came across this restaurant while searching on Uber eats. The basmati rice was very nice and fluffy and the chicken well seasoned portion size is also exactly as illustrated as well! ill be eating from here again!
We needed a tasty takeout food experience off 401 and this place came up. Incredibly good chicken and beef kebabs with rice and salad. Incredibly friendly family team. Fast. Parking out back so we decided to eat our takeout on the patio!
We read the reviews and decided to give it a shot. The lamb was too good; succulent and flavourful. It’s a must try! The chicken kebab was more on the dry side. This place has 3-4 tables for dine in and ample parking in the back. Will definitely visit again to try other dishes. Love to support family-owned local businesses.
The best food in town fresh and delicious great service and good customer service thank you for the yummy food

Cyrus persian restaurant is the best fast food restaurant in oshawa. The food is amazing and delicious. I been there so many times and Im always amazed and happy with their great service and food.
I love persian food but this place made me love it even more! Honestly the best persian restaurant out there, especially with their chicken shwarmas.. out of this world!!
Always serving the most delicious food. Best chicken and beef kebob in town. It s family owned and the owners are really great people. The portions were big as well. My family and i will definitely be returning. Thank you for the great customer service and delicious food!!
The absolute best. Looking for amazing authentic Persian food? Then No kidding this restaurant is 10/10. I highly recommend taking a vist
This is a great place to go to. Had amazing food there. The staff is very welcoming and the food is authentic. Quality is superb and highly recommend all to go check out. Parking: Parking is available behind the restaurant.
Fast, pleasant service, delicious food, very reasonable price!
Amazing people and food.
T food is very good! T price is affordable, t food is always great! Parking: Small parking space, still access! Food : 5/5 |
This hands down is the best sharwama i have ever had. This amazing family run restaurant is a gem. I came here with mom and my wife and we were so impressed with the food and of course an amazing family cooking and working together. I cant say with words how good this restaurant is. You need to come here. I will never have a sharwama from anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and come visit them today. Will always come back. You will too.
Never ever gonna try it again! Their food was awful!!!
Since I walked in I knew this place was going to be very nice!!!! Nice food, and service is above and beyond!! Will come back for sure
Excellent food for reasonable prices and friendly staff. Thank you :)
It was great.
This was my first time trying it, and it was great. I highly recommend it!
Was better years ago with the previous owner.
I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The staff did not use gloves, and the overall hygiene was really poor. The place was not clean at all, and even the food was far from delicious. On top of that, the customer service was very rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a good dining experience. Parking: Na
I swear one of the best shawarma places in the Durham region I highly recommend going there
The best service I love your food. I will come again tomorrow.
Amazing place, beautiful tasty food, even better prices
This is our go to when we are craving chicken shawarmas, they are the best hands down! Never disappointed and the staff are always friendly!
Very nice food I highly recommend Cyrus Persian restaurant Food : 5/5
Bought the chicken and barg plate and it was very disappointing. The meat tasted as though it was seasoned with just salt and pepper. Basmati rice had an old and stale scent to it. Won t go back Update: Originally gave their service a 4 but based on the response I got to my review, I take that back. There is absolutely no reason to be so snarky if a customer leaves a review that is not to your liking. If you don t like the reviews, then ignore it. I ve had Persian food before so I know what it s supposed to taste like. And this was definitely not it.
Haven t been in like 10 years because I moved away went today was amazing and exactly like I remembered
Unbelievably awesome shwarma!!! I eat there every week and im never disappointed! Update havent been since new owners and its the same amazing food so happy the kept it the same!
Krystal gave us awesome service and the food is so good! Everyone should come here for blast of flavours. We tried the falafel plate and it was just awesome!!!
Not a real persian restaurant. More like an Indian mans attempt at making Persian food. I had lamb shank with rice and the rice definitely was more like a Biryani style of rice rather than authentic Baghali polo rice.
Best persian food and best people that operate this restaurant. The food was five star and made fast. The owners are lovely and amazing people. Thank you!!

Amazing food and service, everything we had was delicious.
Always fast and delicious, my favourite Persian restaurant and I m from Toronto, I try to get take away every time I m in town.
Great place to eat , food was amazing, service fast and very friendly. Atmosphere was nice clean well kept. Great for a quick bite.
This was my first time and when I went in was happy to find that they are family run and the food was personally cooked by the owners. Everything was delicious and freshly made and Especially the lamb kebab was so tender we will surely be going back for more. Quantity was great too !
I went to Cyrus for the very first time tonight. The service was super friendly and nice to talk to. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and it was huge, the biggest Ive ever had. More importantly, it was delicious. Between the friendly family that owns it, the food quality, and what I paid, this will absolutely be my new go to restaurant for middle eastern food. Soooo good :)
Nice n cozy place for delicious Food. Enjoyed our lunch. Excellent customer service. Plenty of parking at the back. Food : 5/5
A surprise for sure. We stopped at Cyrus Persian Restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious. The falafel was the best I have ever tasted even though I have tried so many places in Toronto. This is a lovely family run place, polite, friendly and the food (all of it) is absolutely amazing. My compliments to the chef!
Great little restaurant! Friendly staff and tasty food! Recommend
Taste is Better than many large scale fancy franchises. Highly recommended 10 stars from me.
HORRIBLE!!! chicken is dry no taste whats so ever. 100% fake reviews on the site dont be fooled.
Amazing food, great people, casual and homey atmosphere. Updated: June 2024 - still awesome Food : 5/5
Update I go regularly for four yrs now. Always great food and people. New to the area lots of Persian food in our previous neighborhood of Thornhill. Drove by this location and finally stopped to pickup. Food was delicious and very friendly service. Can t wait to be able to sit in and eat. Food
No matter how much I say about the loving behavior of this family, I said less. It was very good that they also knew Farsi. We ordered Waziri and Lamb. His chicken was good. The food was delicious and there is room for the kebabs to be bigger. Parking: There are several parking spaces behind the building, so I think you can always find an empty space.
Very welcoming customer service and the chicken shawarma was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant!
Had a wonderful dining experience.The food was delicious, and the owners were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!
Very very good persian food
just grabbed lunch here for first time. They forgot my hot sauce but thats ok, kebab was great! Friendly and awesome food
Best Persian food in Durham, small but cosey and very clean one of my favorite restaurants. Fast friendly service
Incredible homemade Chicken Shwarma plate, falafels. The family who serves this up is so greatful and gracious. This was my first time and I will be back again and again.
Absolutely delicious and exactly what I have come to expect when I come to this restaurant. New owners but the food is just as fantastic as ever!
Omg this is the best shawarma I ve ever had!! It s always the unassuming places that have the best service and food and this is one of them for sure! Definitely recommend it!
Excellent food and service!
Must try. The best shawarma I have ever had. Been going here for years and do not see that changing anytime soon!!!
I love coming here for falafels and shawarmas. The staff is so kind, and the food is delicious and affordable. Vegetarian options: They have falafels and I have had vegan falafel wraps before Parking: There is limited free parking behind the restaurant, although it can be tight and if too many cars try to come in, it can be difficult to leave/park. There is free street parking on the side streets near the restaurant which is where I prefer to park.
Amazing customer service and the food is great !
Best Middle Eastern food in Oshawa. This place is a hidden gem! My Iranian friend got me onto the Iranian food and I m hooked! Great portions , good prices. I ll be a weekly regular!
Delicious food Very nice costomer service I will definitely refer my family and freind Thank you so much Hadia Food : 5/5 |
We arrived on fathers day and the place was closed
Very tasty food, quick friendly service,
One of the best persian restaurant in Ontario
We have talked about checking this place out for a week or so now, they are just down the street from our house, but OMG its the absolutely the most delicious meal I have had in a very long time. Ready quick and the staff is the nicest! We will definitely be returning.
It just wasnt good food but the girl behind the counter was very nice, pretty bland and flavourless
Lovely family, great prices, amazing schwarma!!!
Since discovering this restaurant, I think I come here almost at least once a week The food is amazing and the customer service is THE BEST! You feel like family when you re there. Love you guys
Very healthy food; fresh and tasty Very good price, staff are very friendly Food
Persian food always the best and here chfs job was great Food
Iranian Food . If you want to try meat, rice, bread items in non spicy and tender feeling, you got the right one. They have some parking spots, not too busy, meat and clean.
Food tastes amazing but got disappointed when I saw the quantity compared to the pictures. We got the Cyrus special for $23 but the quantity of food was really low compared to the pictures. Very nice people though and good food. Just thought there would be more food for the next price.
Hands down the best persian food spot in durham region!!
Food was delicious and service was great
Love this place. Sad I didnt discover it sooner. Always a treat coming here. The staff are so nice and very welcoming which makes the experience even better.
Great place with very affordable food...better value then going to mickyD
Had the chicken shawarma wrap fully loaded and it was very good.
Friendly service, they were patient with me as I asked what the different dishes were. Nice family business. I had the chicken shawarma plate, which came with salad. Tasted good and big portion. I also ordered the felafel. Maybe the best felafel Ive had.
Great service from the whole family & amazing food!
What a great little gem of a place on Ritson road south Oshawa. Me and my friend decided to try this place tonight and the food was refreshingly excellent and flavorful. Food was hot, and I really loved the fresh salad dressing I chose. Warm, inviting and friendly. We will definitely be back.
I never recommend this restaurant for any one
Absolutely fantastic! Really nice people, too. The woman who works there as the owner and the main chef has been working at this location for over a decade and now that she owns the place, it is just as good as it has always been! I dont understand the low reviews. I am an Iranian, and I will be the first to suspect r*a*c*i*s*m, as I am sure many Iranians wont like an Afghan family cooking their food as good! But, as an Iranian, I can say that the food was fantastic! The chef is passionate about Iranian food, and the staff are the kindest, warmest people who greeted us on a very cold night in Oshawa. If I did not live in Toronto, I would go there every weekend!
Fantastic family-run restaurant with authentic delicious Persian food. The kebab had great flavour and the most-o-khiar (yoghurt) is better than homemade. And perfect saffron rice that would make any Iranian smile. Eat here and you wont regret it!
Great food, great people. The harsh negative reviews you see are purely racism, because the new owners are Afghani. Its the same cook from the last two owners, for 12 years, who bought the restaurant. How can you say the food changed?
Great koobideh Great barg Lots of saffron rice 9/10 will go again Food : 5/5 |
Very good kabab
Went there with family for dinner the food is amazing so is the owner very friendly people , worth going so far I highly recommend this place
Great food and staff! I used to be addicted to their food back when I was attending Durham college, came back to try again and the quality is just as impressive. Highly recommend for all shwarma lovers :)
Quality food & service
My second time here and I tried different plates of food and it was amazing, it really tastes homemade and fresh, the quality of the meat is great.
The food was really good and fresh, the place was nice and clean. The staff very friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you re craving some good Persian food.
WOWWW! Amazing price and actual food ! Good quality meat kebabs if you love beef go for the combo 2. Been eating outside for the past 12 years and have found a place that hits quality and price. Was working nearby for 10 days and I came here 8 days (the other two days they were closed) Must visit if you want home food and healthy food !!! It s family run so you supporting local ! Thanks guys see you again in a month
So delicious. Havent had such delicious wrap in a while. Owners are really nice and very good in hospitality.
Such a shame that the original owners sold the restaurant. The food used to be delicious. Now its bland, meat is so overdone and spice blend is off. My family were customers for over ten years. That ship has sailed unfortunately.
The food here absolutely slaps! I ordered the falafel plate and ohgeez was it yummy, the portions were priddy big yo :D Definitely made a solid choice for the coin i had kickin Vegetarian options: I dont really enjoy eating meat, so i decided to grab some falafel, oouwee what a fab idea it was!
amazing food and services- thank you
We just ate at this place. Tasty food and wonderful staff. Will visit frequently with family.
Meat was not fresh and tasted stale however the chicken was not bad
Amazing service and the food was outstanding!
Try the best food in here
My 1st time ordering take-out here, & they were very nice & the food was the best weve had. Delicious! We will be back.
It was my second visit to Cyrus. The first Chicken Schwarma was delicious. The second visit a few days ago, same order, even better. I understand its under new management. We ate one fresh; scrumptious. Second one the next day heated for a brief time in the oven, just as tasty. We will definitely be back. Parking: Several spots available behind the restaurant.
Love this place! My go to spot for shwarma. The owners are very friendly, food is always fresh, shwarma is never dry! I come here regularly and am happy to give them my business every time!
After very long time I tasted Real persian food very delicious clean great service I loved it I recommend to try the food also you can ask catering best of luck Food
**Parking is in back of the Restaurant** Food 5 Stars Service 5 Stars Highly recommend. Any choice is a great choice. Best in Ontario Parking: Driveway leading to back of restaurant
I ordered from Cyrus earlier tonight. My wife, son and I really enjoyed all of the food. We ordered the Cyrus special, double chicken kabobs and an order of falafel. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing! It was hot and fresh, and the portions were huge. Its a small family run business, and you can honestly taste the love and home cooking in the food. 5/5 across the board. Would highly recommend to anyone craving delicious food, especially if youre craving for something Persian!
Excellent food! We found this place and was the best. Food is super tasty, specially the rice and the falafel. Also, the family is super friendly. 10/10
The best!! Koobideh with rice is always delicious and salad is always fresh
Liked the vibe and the attitude of the servers -affordable -good portions - good vibe with the carpets / I wish they had real plates for inside eatery
Today was our first visit to Cyprus but it surely will not be our last! We were two for lunch and entirely unfamiliar with this type of cuisine. Our server was friendly and happy to recommend the dishes she thought we might enjoy. And she was right! My lunch companion with the larger appetite ordered the combination platter and I ordered the shawarma dinner. We split a baklava for dessert. The food was fresh, flavourful and absolutely delicious. There was more than enough for takeaway leftovers. Dont miss this hidden gem of culinary heaven!
So.. found this place on Tuesday as its around the corner from my workplace. And i have been there 5x since ! And its Thursday evening! Thats right, tuesday for lunch (had the lamb and rice) Wed For lunch (had the steak wrap) then went back on the way home and got the falafal wrap and dinner for my wife, and went back today for lunch, had the beef wrap, and just went back to get dinner take out a falafal wrap for my wife and a beef and lamb dinner - food is amazing, and i am a foodie, im downtown, in the west end for work and all over, so my tastebuds have been all over. This place is a must try, family owned, the meat quality is amazing, friendly, clean, and the food is amazing. I dont write many reviews, but felt like i needed to share my experience, they will be seeing alot of me !
This is probably the best Persian food in the Durham. Their combination platter is pretty good for 2 people. Sultani scale was through the roof so dont miss that. Service was great as well.
Great koobideh and chicken shawarma wrap in Oshawa. Good portions, good quality.
We loved our server. She was very friendly, hardworking and quick. Best falafel that I ve tasted so far. Lamb chops were delicious. Koobideh was perfect and the rice, oh so delicious. It s a small and Athentic restaurant so best to make a reservation in advance. Vegetarian options: Falafel, rice
I love the food
The best kebab, very tasty and fresh the best kabab I
This is not a huge fancy restaurant but its food is definitely very good. Succulent. I had been visiting here for last ten years. Ownership changed but quality remains same..chicken beef or lamb its really good and price is reasonable. Will visit again
Absolutely cozy little den with excellent staff, was greeted almost immediately and felt welcomed. Amazing selection regarding the menu and honestly super fair prices. Going to recommend this place to numerous people! Thank you for the amazing food!
This place is one of the best places to order kabab - the service is great and the food is delicious- you must try the Koobideh Kabab and the Vaziri !!! A must try if you are in the area!
This place is a hidden gem. I had the Falafel for an Appetizer (9/10) and the Shawarma Platter for Dinner (10/10). The New Owners are Persian. Feels like home food. Thank you for the nice Customer Service!
Ordered the chicken shawarma plate, got the worse stomach ache after. Had a feeling the chicken is off while I was eating. Server came to ask how the food was, told her that the chicken seemed off, like it has been sitting for a while. Her response was that you should ve come earlier , meaning what I was served was bad chicken? Used to go here before when Cyrus owned it, new owner tanked the quality. Never again.
Delicious food. Right portion. Good price and service. Parking: Customer parking at the back. Food : 5/5 |
Great tasting shawarma salad! Very fresh ingredients and homemade sauces
I ve only dined there twice and can t wait to eat there again. Crystal was super friendly, as well as the family staff! I love the cleanliness of the dining area.
Such a great shawarma I have ever tasted. Shawarma wrap was good in taste. I wish you to visit there and taste the shawarma wrap, believe me you are going to blow your mind
Its great food and fresh always, when you re in the city stop by this place so worth it and customer service is so good Food
Best wraps I ve had
Had their kabab wrap today. Super amazing and full of flavour, very clean place, super friendly owners . Krystal is amazing to talk to and ensures everyone leaves with a great experience. Highly recommended and will be back to eat for sure. Oshawa- this should be on your go-to list, Show your love to this restaurant.
This is our second time at Cyrus, the food is delicious, the service is great, will definitely visit again.
We came from Montreal and the food was delicious, very friendly staff, I would highly recommend eating here!!! Great experience!!!
After trying Cyrus Restaurant for the first time, I have only positives to share. From the patient and experienced service, to the quality, taste, volume and freshness of the food, Catering with Cyrus Restaurant was outstanding. Definitely will return in the future. Highly recommend!
Good food, great service !
The food was delicious! Kebabs and falafel were excellent! And the salad was crispy fresh!
Delicious lamb and rice really enjoyed it. Vegetarian options: Delicious fresh vegetables and salad, crispy lettuce, delicious tomatoes. Falafel. Parking: Good parking Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and welcoming
Best Chicken Shawarma Dinner Ive ever had!
We have been going to Cyrus because the owner were amazing and the food was unique and fresh. Unfortunately, when we went last week I was surprised to see new owners. When coming in I saw butter chicken on the windows which made me sceptical Because I know Cyrus is Persian and that is not Persian at all! Anyways food was okay. BUT I miss the old owners and half of the reason going there was because of them, Cyrus reminded me of my dad and it was always a pleasure to talk to the whole family of him. Unfortunately another amazing restaurant that has new owners and it s not the same.
My favorite shawarma in the entire GTA. I dont have a middle Eastern palate, and I find this place tastes real nice.
Was passing by and stopped to grab shawarma for lunch. Meat was juicy but overall shawarma felt pretty plain taste
Great food.
I love going here and getting the Shawarma s. They re absolutely delicious. The spicy is actually spicy. Everything is tasty. I love it!
The worst food I ever had. Its called Persian cousin but it has nothing to do with delicious Persian foods. We ordered Kabab which was something like a piece of leather with A LOT of spices. food dones not even deserve one star. Dont waste you time and money on this restaurant.
Awesome place. The chicken shawarma wrap is unmatched.
great authentic food. Always fresh and has the same great taste everytime i go there. Owners are nice people and take care of their customers
The shawarma was fantastic and the staff were very friendly.
Amazing food! Amazing service! I highly recommend trying it!
Not a good experience for my wifes Uber eats pick up.
This restaurant is the absolute best. Best breakfast. Best lunch. Best dinner. Best waitstaff. And the best food in general! Like I said. The best! Highly recommended.
Excellent food! Moms taste
Fast service, cozy and welcoming environment, easy to order from the posted menu, steady customer traffic, love the attention to detail with the Persian rug as a bench cover. Food was well presented and juicy kudos to the owner!
They the best chicken shawarma wraps in oshawa
the food quality was decent with this price and the amount of food. Fresh salad. it was really cheap for that much food. the only issue is it was not really persian style. There were some spices in the meat and processing food in different ways. that looked like more foods near afghanestan or pakistan.
To start the food is really good, but they get a low rating from me due to their portion sizes. A small marginal difference is fine, however for $15 I got about half the amount that Ive gotten get from competitive shawarma places. Value wise they arent a great one at all! I wouldnt be going back for a second attempt.
This place have amazing falafel and hummus along with delicious mast-o-Khair.
Super nice people and one of the few places where you still feel you get bang for your buck. The shawarma and meat platters are excellent and this has become my go to spot for middle eastern. Keep it up, and dont forget to have a pineapple barbican stocked for me!
Turn around and look across the street. See the Pizza? Go there instead. FOOD EXPIRED-We literally had to spit it out. Hopefully its not like this everyday but really rolling the dice here ppl, we wont be back. Food
One of the best koobideh.. awesome family platter
The food is really bad and the portions are small and they wanted to charge us for extra sumac . Lol .
I have been eating Cyrus for last 7 years , i have tried to keep support this business as i knew the previous owner , this lunch , i got two wraps , one with no tomato . I can say the food quality is declining and the owner needs to address these issues . Its been declining over last year and half . But i felt the need to post this so he understands. -I don t feel the need for an Arabic restaurant to sell fried chicken or butter chicken. Looks mickey mouse and lowers the freshness for other products -the bread ordering needs to be done precisely, the bread is not fresh , keeps breaking , the toppings don t look like they are made every morning . -The ambience is the store is not good anymore , weed growing in the patio , lights for the interior restaurant not turned on and store looks messy behind the POS. -and the chicken is greasy and its drips out of the shawarma , it was never like this before . Nothing personal , i am a restaurant owner myself and would definitely give it a try again for the last time . But id like the owner to know where he is going wrong .
tasty food very friendly people and fresh food with many choices. Parking: there is enough parking spaces for try the size of the restaurant Recommended dishes Falafel, Shawarma Plate, Lamb Kabab, Beef Kabab, Wrap, Double Chicken Kabab, Barg & Lamb Kabab Parking space
Ordered the family meal with chicken and koobideh kabab, rice, vegetable salad and cucumber dressing. Delicious home-cooked meal goodness! Happy surprise for me was the pita bread soaked in the kabab drippings The following day I regrilled the now very tasty pita bread! The chef assembled my takeout meal in a box to efficiently carry everything to the car! It was almost closing time but several more customers followed me.Thank you Cyrus!
Good food and nice place.
Quality of food is not comparable to 2 years ago, not good at all! BTW it is not Persian resturant any more! Just name of foods are Persian! Food
Best food in town!! Great prices and great service
Large portions and great food
Amazing food and service! The best in Durham in my opinion. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and very clean. I will definitely be back and recommend to anyone!
This place is absolutely delicious. I just moved to Oshawa so I was looking for a new persian place to come to & I brought my mom here so we could enjoy some Persian food, and my mom really enjoyed it as well. You can tell the owners actually care about the quality of the food. 10/10 will return
My favorite place to eat in the whole city, the food is amazing and the management/staff is so welcoming. Can t wait to come by again!
So delicious food with a great reception one of best shawarma restaurants in Toronto
They provide Great food consistently for several years
Amazing food! am normally a Jamaican restaurant supporter. But am not sorry I tried this spot
Cyrus greeted my son and I with a friendly smile and conversation. The food was amazing and fairly priced. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
Very good food
Good food &Great service
I think this is the best shawarma Ive ever had
I go to school near Cyrus and it s my favourite lunch spot super fast and friendly service. I ve never had a bad meal there. The staff are amazing always super nice. The food is amazing the portion sizes are great and you really get a bang for your buck. I definitely recommend going here if you wanna try something new and are looking for a new regular spot. Great people, great food, great prices
Our favorite persian place for foods.
This is a small Mom and Pop restaurant. The service is very good and the staff is very friendly. They are willing to explain what you are ordering and help you with your order if you have certain dietary needs or preferences. The food is very fresh and very tasty. In an old school part of Oshawa you feel as if you are walking into their home. Highly recommend
Okay
Absolutely phenomenal!! Food is always hot, fresh, and so tasty ! Amazing owner :) great prices my boyfriend and I love the chicken shawarma wrap! I have lost count how many times I have had it and it is just as delicious every single time we get them! 10/10 highly recommend!
They should really change the name of the restaurant. The food quality went down by a lot! I ordered shawarma plate and was very disappointed with the meat portion. Before they used to provide generous amount of the meat portion and generous with their special hot sauce too. Now it seems more like a cheap food that you buy with more money. Not going back to this new Cyrus restaurant anymore. Really disappointed...
Best shawarma wrap I around. I could eat here every day! Parking: Use the parking lot across the street if the back lot is full.
Excellent food
Excellent service, excellent food! I have ordered food for a very large group. Cyrus handled everything perfectly. Plus, foods were very well prepared, fresh vegies, and delicious.
We gave a big order for an event. They did an excellent job. Although their breads were not very fresh, they toasted them nicely and delivered them on time profesionally.
Its Not really persian. Koobideh, Barg and rice, all were relatively more Afghani than persian. The people making food were Indian, not sure if they are the owners. They could make it a better Afghani and name it as such instead. I might go there in future but not in the ame of persian food
Great lunch spot
Do you need a shawarma fix that will also solve your other life problems? Do you want a plate of kebabs to cure you Seasonal Affective Disorder? Have you ever tried to drown your blues with scoops and scoops of garlic sauce or hummus? This is the place where all of the above can be accomplished and more! A true under the radar gem in Durham Yalla Habibi to Cyrus
