Across reviews, Alaturca delivers generous portions, tasty Turkish dishes, and attentive, friendly service at reasonable prices, with many praising kebabs, shawarma, and the fresh bread, a clean, cozy ambiance, and staff that feel welcoming; overall the experience is described as excellent and reliable, making it a top Turkish option in Montreal despite a few comments about occasional crowding or grease.
Disclaimer: This is a very honest review. I know running a restaurant is hard, so I'm saying this with respect.
I ordered a mixed doner plate & a lentil soup on UberEats. First thing, the packaging was bad; the salad juice spilled everywhere in the bag. Also, the salad itself was mostly onions, & the rest tasted unfresh & very bland, the veggies were all soggy. The lentil soup was honestly SO awful. It had zero lentil flavor , it tasted like turmeric water. I make lentil soup regularly, so I know what it's supposed to taste like. I added a lot of salt & black pepper to it & it was still not edible.
The doner meat & chicken were sitting on extremely oily bulgur with no flavor. Everything tasted like old frying oil. The meat & chicken didn't look fresh either. I was really hungry & genuinely looking forward to a healthy meal, but all I could taste was grease.
I hate being that person & leaving a negative review, but this was EXTREMELY disappointing. I ended up throwing everything away, which I hate doing. The only edible thing was the bread. It will be my lesson to cook at home.

Je suis allé dans ce nouveau restaurant turc pour la première fois, & tout était vraiment parfait ! J'ai goûté la soupe, les boulettes de viande crue (çi?köfte) & le döner d'agneau sur salade - tout était frais, savoureux & préparé avec soin.
Le restaurant est impeccablement propre, y compris les toilettes. La cuisine est partiellement ouverte, ce qui permet de voir à quel point les cuisiniers & le personnel travaillent dans l'hygiène & avec professionnalisme.
Le personnel est souriant, chaleureux & très professionnel. Le propriétaire est également très attentionné & accueillant.
J'ai passé un excellent moment, je reviendrai sans hésiter & je le recommande vivement ! Ils méritent vraiment tous les compliments pour cette qualité & ce dévouement 👏👏👏

This evening we went to this little hidden resto called Alaturca, i have to admit that I was so surprised with quality of the ingredients & the final result.
The service was perfect, the waitress was very attentive on our happiness.
The place was so clean & smells good.
I can't stop to say that I was very impressed.
I have to come back for the baklava because you had not, but to try more dishes. Soup was awesome, the salad was so soft & the vinegar so light, everything so fresh!!!
Thanks a lot for that.
Je suis allée souper avec ma tante pour découvrir ce restaurant ! Belle surprise, la nourriture est excellente, les portions généreuses en plus d'un excellent service. Je le recommande sans hésiter !

My family & I went here for Mother's Day & we were not disappointed. The food is unbelievable it is as fresh as it gets & u can taste the quality. The meats were juicy & very tasty the soup was a must have & the bread they use is just as good as it can get. The service we had from MYA & TINA was one of the best service we ever had they were smiling & so generous with us in everything we needed or asked for. We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant & I recommend it to everyone
While visiting Montreal, we just stop by without any expectations. I have seen many restaurants tagged as Turkish restaurants with average food but we have really liked everything we ate here. I have seen some comments about the behavior which I will totally disagree with. We tried Lentil soup, Kunefe, lahmajun & cheese pide & all is unexpectedly good. I really wanted to try kebabs but we were full. Next time perhaps... Place was nice & clean.
