Went for a friend’s birthday. Chill, street-food-style spot with a few tables — more of a casual eatery than a full-on restaurant, although they offer course meal options.
The Tameya (falafel) was crispy and flavourful. The Beef Hawawshi was juicy, though the bread was a bit too soft and soggy for me. The tahini and sauces were excellent.
Simple menu, fair prices, and friendly service overall — though for a birthday table, you’d expect a bit more attention.
As a meat lover, I wish there were more options, but overall, a solid choice for casual Middle Eastern food.

Such a wonderful, homey experience. The koshari plate and saffron lemon iced tea were amazing. The Canadiana knafe was okay, I think the classic knafe would have been better. But overall, would love to return!

Best meal I’ve had in a while. The food was extremely flavourful and the owner of the restaurant was extremely lovely. His love and joy for food was evident and I really appreciated that he explained every dish so I could assess which ones I wanted to try! We got the ful sharing plate, the classic koshari plate, and both ice teas (both were superb). Everything was 5/5 and we will def be back!

First time trying Papyrus. The service was great and the food was delicious. We had BIG EYE and over ordered but it was all worth it. There were 3 of us for dinner. We ordered a Sharing Meal for 2, plus a Mixed Hawawshi Plate, 3 desserts and 2 drinks. We ended up having to take some of the food home as there was no way we could finish everything. Our favourite items were: the Dokka, Hummus, Cucumber Pickles & Bissara, the Koshari, the Tameya, and the Bassbousa. Can’t wait to go back again.

As someone that loves Mediterranean food of all kinds but having never tried Egyptian food specifically, Papyrus was a great experience. We had the Tameya plate and Beef Hawawshi sandwich and both were delicious with all sorts of wonderful spices. The Bird Nest kunafe was also light and flavourful. Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans.
The food here is phenomenal, as an Egyptian I can say that the flavours and recipes are on point.
My only issue was that the portions are not Egyptian, which was a bit of a letdown. The service on Friday night was also slow, only one person working.

We had an amazing dinner at this Egyptian restaurant! From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, everything was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors. The staff was incredible—attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was great, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

Papyrus is small, welcoming, clean, and nicely decorated. The service was excellent, and the food delicious and reasonably priced. Would definitely go back, and recommend to friends looking for something different.
Best Egyptian food in town!!
