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.“

“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.“

“Had falafel for the first time at this place and they blew me away. It was freshly made infront of me and absolutely delicious. Also had chicken shawarma salad which was very good as well. Great place if you want fresh good quality food.

“Great taste of Middle East , authentic and fresh.“

“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.“

“Good spot for lunch, online ordering is fast and ready when we arrive. Consider giving an option for online ordering to put dining in so we don't have to waste the take away bag that the food is packaged in. Would be nice if extra veggies didn't cost 99cents“

“The best in oshawa my family love it“

“tejbir is a great staff; very friendly.“

“Recommended for delicious Shawarma...🥳“

“Best shawarma in town. Friendly staff. Neat and clean place amazing customers service. Highly recommend“

“I placed a take out order and was told the all the sauce was in the bag and when I got back to work they weren’t 😓. A little disappointing. The staff were really kind and over all the food is really good… It’s just a little too pricey for the portion sizes you get in my opinion. The salad was soooo small.“

“Gave this place a try & every drive here has been worth it. They’re generous with the portions, quality is good & the taste is great. I always come for the chicken shawarma, I’d like to try something different but I’m afraid I’ll be addicted to this place even more lmao. Love this place & its customer service.“

“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.“
