Everything was wonderful. My orders arrived within 10 minutes of placing them. I felt like I was in Türkiye. It's a great place for families & groups, & the food is almost free (don't forget to try the Beyti kebab!).

Everything was honestly amazing! The borek was delicious, the sarma was tasty & the lentil soup was really good too. I also tried the Urfa kebab, perfectly seasoned, a bit spicy but super flavorful. The service was fast & friendly & the food came out quickly.

The only thing I didn't really like was the Ayran, it had too much water & not enough salt, so the taste wasn't quite right for me.
Overall, great Turkish food & a place I'd definitely come back to!

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.

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.

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!
