Avesta offers a warm, cozy Turkish dining experience in downtown Montreal with fresh bread baked on site and a menu full of authentic flavors. The atmosphere is welcoming, and service is attentive and friendly. Dishes arrive in generous portions at good value, with mezze, kebabs, manti and other classics described as flavorful and comforting. The bread and dips are standout, the grilled meats tender, and ingredients feel fresh. Desserts like baklava and kunefe are praised for balance. The spot suits families, friends, and celebrations, and many leave eager to return for the same high quality and warm hospitality.
- the atmosphere, the decorations, the food, & especially the friendly & attentive service from our waiter. We really enjoyed the whole experience & will definitely come back again!
I tried kunafa from avesta, the taste was good, the vermicelli was really crispy, not tooooo sweet but with enough sweetness with the good flavour. But I felt the portion was a little bit smaller than I expected. That's the only thing I felt. Otherwise, it's a really good place with good ambience & good service.

Went with my dad on Monday & we took the Sadj Kavurma (beef) & the Manti. We also took the Lentil soup & it was soooo good. The portions were really big & worth the price. The service was excellent & the ambience was really good.
Would 100% recommend to anyone who likes Turkish food or wants to discover this cuisine.
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.
