Le repas était bon dans l'ensemble, mais je trouve que c'est un peu cher pour ce que c'est.
La qualité est là, mais les portions pourraient être un peu plus généreuses pour le prix.
Par contre, le kunafa était vraiment excellent - croustillant, bien sucré, & parfaitement préparé.
Juste pour ça, ça vaut peut-être le détour si vous aimez les desserts orientauxView more

What's
A Taste of Tradition: Turkish Culinary Gem in the Heart of Downtown Montreal
In the bustling heart of downtown Montreal, there's a Turkish restaurant that has quietly stood the test of time since 2006. Amid the city's fast pace & modern distractions, this spot offers a rare & authentic taste of tradition.
The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sight of a woman at work, expertly rolling out dough by hand-an image straight out of a Turkish kitchen. She's been with the restaurant for decades, & her quiet dedication sets the tone for what's to come: fresh, handmade dishes rooted in time-honored techniques.
The space itself is modest in size but full of soul. Traditional Turkish décor & artwork bring warmth & cultural depth to the interior, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar & transportive. On select evenings, the addition of live music further enhances the experience, blending sound & flavor in the most inviting way.
What truly sets this restaurant apart is the unmistakable sense of care in every dish. Each plate is made to order using top-quality ingredients-no shortcuts, no compromises. The flavors are rich & comforting, evoking memories of meals lovingly prepared by a grandmother's hands.
The standout dish during our visit was the manti, a Turkish classic. These delicate, hand-folded dumplings were absolute perfection-tender, flavorful, & finished with a velvety yogurt & butter sauce. It's the kind of dish that silences a table, if only for a moment of pure appreciation.
We ended our meal with the quintessential pairing of Turkish tea & lokum (Turkish delight), the final sweet note to a deeply satisfying & memorable experience.
This is not just a restaurant-it's a celebration of heritage in the middle of downtown. A true hidden gem for those seeking authenticity, warmth, & a culinary connection to tradition.View more
