Antep Kabab

Downtown Shaughnessy Village

(243)

Turkish Middle Eastern Sandwiches Salads Kebab

Review Summary

Reviews describe Antep Kabab as a standout in downtown Montreal, with fresh, authentic kebab sandwiches and bread baked on site, featuring well seasoned meat grilled to tender, smoky flavors. The chicken sandwich is frequently praised as a top choice and many consider it the best in town, while the filet mignon sandwich is noted for flavor but can be hard to chew and portions are sometimes felt to be small for the price. Value and pricing are mixed, with some diners calling it fairly priced and filling while others note price increases and reduced portions, and cash payments are mentioned by some reviewers. Service and atmosphere are described as casual and friendly, though busy times can bring longer waits and a bustling, crowded feel. Many regulars travel to Montreal specifically for these kebabs or order takeout, highlighting consistent quality, homemade bread, and the overall appeal of the place despite the simple decor.View restaurant profile
