Many appreciate the generous portions, reasonable prices, and the option to enjoy a variety of dishes from wraps to plates. Late hours and easy parking are appreciated by those stopping by after work. Occasional critiques mention slower service during peak times when staff are stretched and a few menu items not meeting every expectation, but the overall sentiment is that Mont Istanbul delivers high quality Turkish food and a warm, dependable experience worth returning for.View restaurant profile
