“Cyrus Persian Restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away in a modest house on Ritson Road, with almost no signage to guide you, which makes finding it a bit of a challenge, but totally worth the effort. We recently ordered takeout and tried their Chicken Shawarma Plate, Triple Koobideh Kabob, and Double Chicken Kabobs, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish.

The Koobideh Kabob was absolutely the standout dish, juicy, flavorful, and packed with spices that hit all the right notes. Each bite was tender and lip-smacking, easily the best koobideh we’ve had in a while. My kids couldn’t get enough of the chicken kabobs, which were perfectly cooked, tender, and mild enough for their tastes. My wife really enjoyed the chicken shawarma, flavorful with just the right balance of spices and garlic sauce.

While all the dishes were delicious, the koobideh stole the show for me, it was simply too good and had me wanting more. Considering its quality and the proximity to our home, Cyrus Persian Restaurant has quickly become a favorite for Persian takeout. If you’re willing to hunt down this little spot, you won’t be disappointed.“

“The girl serving food has no standard. I was coming from work, not dressed suit and tie. She served me half the meat which I normally get. Its true some nationalities judge people by their looks and change their standards.“

“I've been coming here for nearly 4 straight years. I'll get OhShawarma! Atleast once a week.

I always order the same thing. Chicken Plate, no potato extra salad. It's always delicious as the first time I tried it.

Easily my favorite Shawarma spot in the Durham Region.“

“Today was our second time trying out this location of Tahini’s, and it was truly amazing. (the first was the day they opened, it was super crowded!).

The food, as always, was exceptional. The service was great, quick and thorough of course. The owner himself came to serve us our order and made sure we were well taken care of, even gave us complimentary appetizers and drinks while we waited for our order, that was so sweet!

We would highly recommend this Tahini’s. It’s definitely our new favourite location. Great job, you guys!“

“I had an exceptional experience at this establishment, thanks to an outstanding employee named Meet. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and made the visit even more enjoyable with a friendly chat. He truly deserves recognition, if not a raise!

Additionally, the food was fresh, served exactly as I requested, and came with all the necessary cutlery, napkins, and even ketchup packets. The service was impressively fast, making the meal even more satisfying.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this place, whether you're dining alone, with friends, or with family.“

“Best salad and schwarma! Delicious! Great service!“

We sometimes dine in with my son
