A gateway to Turkish & Kurdish cuisine in downtown Montreal. The menu offers a variety of delicious mezzes, kebabs, wrap sandwiches & other dishes. Also, the decoration in the restaurant is beautiful & welcoming.View more

The food was okay. The chicken/beef kebab, eskender, muhammara, all tasted pretty bland. The only main dish I liked was the manti. For dessert, the knefeh was good & we enjoyed the Turkish tea.View more

Food was good but not enough meat on their main courses. You only get one kafta kebab when your order a plate. Also turkish food usually comes with Bulgar wheat not rice with chick peas. Overall very good but at this price point you need to give clients for meat. Thank you!View more

If you're looking for an authentic turkish experience, Avesta is the best in Montreal. They even started live music on certain days & they're adding vegetarian menu options. The owner & staff are so kind & welcoming! We ordered Saj Kavurma & Adana kebab as well as gozleme ... 5 stars for sure!View more

This Turkish restaurant exceeded my expectations! The service was impeccable, the atmosphere authentically decorated, & the food, especially the Tavuk Kebab, Iskender, & Sarma appetizer, was simply delicious. Highly recommended for a delightful culinary experience!View more

We got the Tavuk kebab with the rice & beyti kebab. The beyti kebab was very good. A solid 4.5/5. The tavuk kebab were decent too, but could have been better, 3.5/5. The thing that let us down was the service & the ambiance. Needs massive improvement on the front. The kunafa at the end was a 3/5 too. Not too bad not too good. One more thing that needs to be added is potatoes (fries) to the menu.View more

Très bel endroit, chaleureux, superbes nappes, objets décoratifs rappelant la Turquie. Service courtois. Mezzes: très bonnes feuilles de vignes avec yogourt savoureux, humus ok, mouhamara ordinaire. Kebab-viandes bien marinés, gouteux & pain délicieux toutefois, accompagnements (salade de chou rouge au persil, riz & légumes) fades & sans aucun arôme, décevant pour ce type de cuisine si parfumée habituellement. Le pire étant le riz vraiment raté. Lahmacun ok sans plus, encore ici, manque de goût. Un endroit tout de même unique à Montreal qui gagnerait à s'élever mais qui vaut le détour pour son caractère unique. Une dame façonne des mantis (pâtes farcies) à la main à l'avant du restaurant. On reviendra pour les sandwichs qui semblent très populaires.View more
