The food was honestly some of the best Arabic food I've had. The service top notch. The Saj is cooked daily, & served warm. There's multiple dishes to try & keeps you wanting coming for more.
I have been to this Turkish restaurant multiple times, & it never disappoints🤞🧿! The food is always delicious, & the ambiance is cozy & inviting - one of the best Turkish food in the city of Montreal.
But what made this visit especially memorable was our waitress - Rita - she was fantastic! She jokingly warned me about the size of my dish, saying she believed in me to finish it but I guess she had her doubts that I could finish it. Well, challenge accepted, & mission accomplished! 😄 Not only did she commend my'achievement', but she also treated us to a complimentary dessert, which was such a kind gesture. It's rare to have service that adds such a personal touch to the experience, & her playful energy made the evening even more enjoyable for me & my friends. Big thanks to her for making the night special! Highly recommend this spot for great food & top-notch service!
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 !
This was the best beyti kebab I've had in Montreal!
I just wanted to thank you for your amazing service, delicious food, & everything else. I'll definitely come back again!
My sister & I were visiting the city, for the Kurdish festival. We walked by this place, & she had mentioned it's Kurdish, as it was apparent based on the bread making setup, in the front.
Our server was inviting, friendly, & addressed all our questions & concerns. Anyway, I ordered an all meat platter, & she got the sushi cif kofte, & soup. She enjoyed her meals, as I did mine.
