This restaurant becomes one of favourite Turkish place. The food was awesome, I had Sadj Kavurma, & my friend got Manti. We also both got Turkish tea & they were all delicious!! We also ended our day with Künefe, a dessert with cheese, pistachio & syrup. Everything there was amazing & was freshly made. We also observed how Manti was made by hand! I'd recommend everyone to come try this place out if you would like to try Turkish food. The atmosphere is cozy & friendly, beautiful decorations!
Cuisine turc authentique. Ça m'a rappelé mon voyage en Turquie! Ils vendent aussi vin (cher) & bière . L'éclairage gagnerait à être tamisée afin d'offrir une ambiance chaleureuse & "cosy". Une dame turque fait le pain traditionnel devant la fenêtre en entrant au restaurant!
L'endroit est três beau avec une ambiance calme & cocooning. Le pain est fait sur place en direct. On a pris le humus, le börek & la lahmacun délicieux!
The food was great (authentic Turkish food). The staff very friendly. The service was amazing. The place is located in a central part of Montreal so withing walking distance from metro stations (I walked from Atwater). I would recommend this restaurant & I am looking forward to my next visit.

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.
Walking in the whole restaurant was empty & not reserved, but we were guided to the smallest table where we didn't wanna sit. The food came, & it tasted hideous. We took a few bites & left it. Other than that, the woman making bread in front of us was good!
