I hosted my friends here for my birthday & we had the best time. The staff were wonderful & made us all feel right at home.
The reservation was easy to make online for a large group.
Our food was amazing. We will definitely be back!
The gözleme were so delicious! The revani & künefe were amazing as well. Special mention to the manager who was incredibly kind & welcoming. We felt really well received

nous avons adoré notre expérience & le service était super! la nourriture était incroyable & vraiment abordable! moi & ma mère sommes végétarienne & nous avons été tres satisfaite par les conseils de la serveuse. nous allons y retourner certain☺?
Je m'attendais à une cuisine meilleure que ça. La soupe aux lentilles, je ne l'ai pas aimée du tout : elle était acide & on aurait dit qu'elle était faite à partir de conserves. J'en ai déjà mangé de bien meilleures dans des restaurants plus simples.
Les apéritifs aussi donnaient l'impression d'être faits à partir de conserves : assez acides & pas très savoureux.
Pour le plat principal, les Manti : la viande était un peu sèche & manquait de saveur. Par contre, le Gozleme était vraiment bonne. Le pain pita qu'ils font sur place, je l'ai trouvé un peu amer.
Bref, ça ne m'a pas vraiment impressionnée. On n'a pas été très satisfaits de la cuisine.
We walked on the street & saw this lady through the window making bread & we decided to go eat there. I have to say best decision ever! The food is crazyyyyyyy goooooood. I really recommend you to try it.
A very nice & cozy restaurant right in downtown Montréal, you can park inside at college LaSalle too, had a wonderful valentines day diner with friends, great food & good wine, a great discovery.

J'aime aller & essayer les restaurants turcs ici. Jusqu'à présent, je suis allée dans plusieurs restaurants & les plats étaient très délicieux, avec des prix raisonnables. Quand on entre à l'intérieur, l'ambiance & l'atmosphère donnent l'impression d'être dans un restaurant en Turquie. Il y a une grande variété de boissons & de plats au menu. Le pain est préparé frais. Je vous recommande absolument d'essayer. C'est un restaurant idéal pour les anniversaires & les rencontres entre amis.
A very nice restaurant with very helpful staff. Yesterday, we were 6 friends & we had a wonderful dinner. It was a bit crowded so that kinda normal if any service is postponed for a few minutes but this is not a problem at all. You can get a Turkish tea & enjoy your time beforehand as well. Thank you!
Delisicous Turkish food, with great service. We did a family style thing for a birthday (9 of us) & had a feast! The food is absolutely delicious, not a single thing was left uneaten. We were all impressed with the bread, which is made fresh on the spot by one of the employees who makes them at the storefront. Can't go wrong with any of the köfte or manti. The pepper spread was also to die for.
Quelle belle découverte !! C'est vraiment un chouette endroit & les plats sont copieux & savoureux ! C'était la première fois que je mangeais des baklavas & mes amis m'ont dit que j'ai commencé avec les meilleurs !
Amazing bread, meat sourced locally, clean environment, affordable prices (on sandwiches from what I ordered), & lovely decor what more could u ask for.
Honestly, this place feels like being back in Turkey. The food tastes so authentic - perfectly seasoned, super fresh, & the grilled meats were so tender. Even the mezze felt homemade.
The service was warm & welcoming, & the vibe is cozy & traditional. Definitely coming back.
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
