Never had turkish food before, it was super tasty & flavourful! everyone at the table ordered something different & all the dishes were great!! will definitely be recommending :) very reasonable prices too, a good range
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!
I love this place! I come here all the time & the food never disappoints. Everything is super tasty & fresh, & the staff is always friendly & welcoming. It's one of those spots where you instantly feel comfortable. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants!
Group started with 3 Mezzes: The Hummus was phenomenal, the Muhammara was really good, & the Börek was great. I had the Menemen for main, it was very tasty.
Service was good as well !
Cute little Turkish restaurant. Cozy vibes, nice service & tasty food. Great for a night out, not too noisy. The knefe is very good. Yakup was so sweet!

Simple, tasty, & small cozy restaurant that serves authentic Turkish dishes. We ordered: beef Gözleme, Sadj Lamb, Avesta salad & the best of the best, Manti. All super fresh & served very quickly. We ended the night with an authentic Turkish tea. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.
Turkish food, several times I went there from the first time i came to Montreal, i ❤️ the bread that they make it there traditional way, Muhammara & borek 😋 & lamb shank 😍, i still love the food but i think before was more tasty. 🍷
The rice was significantly undercooked, to the point where I would rate it a 2 out of 10 in terms of doneness. Additionally, the Inegöl köfte lacked flavor & was not as tasty as I had hoped. Overall, I would give this restaurant 2 out of 5 stars.

Very tasty food & so filling that it may be difficult to eat it all in one sitting, so definitely worthwhile to take the rest to-go & enjoy later. Ask for Turkish coffee, the waitresses were really kind & helpful. Nice baklavas too.
Quality, fresh materials , mezze , soo tasty & delicious, as a tukish food lover, I didn't expect that , Chef great job 👍any time I ll visit montreal as a tourist again ,I will come Avesta . 🙏👏
The meals were pretty good. But the price performance was not good at all. It got pretty expensive. No appetizers came to the table. The some of employees are very kind ( not at all) but since it is defined as a Turkish Restaurant, at least one person should be able to welcome in Turkish. The gozleme were pretty good. so is manti. lahmacun was above average. The shank was very tasty. But there was no salad & appetizer bread on the table. I gave a good score because I'm supporting hard workers effort. But they have many improving part.
