This is must try one of my favorite restaurants for Turkish food in Downtown Montreal again! I can't wait to order the chicken plate, manti, & filet mignon because everything was incredible the last time. I'm already recommending this spot to friends for our next outing! Manti was so good 👍
Affordable price for good portions
We ordered 3 mezzes (sarma, muhammara, & börek) & each was just absolutely delicious. Packed with flavour. The staff was so nice & we were able to watch them making the thin lavash bread thar the server us right in the room.
One of the best resturant in downtown. So happy I found it.
Shymaa is so hosting, kind & loving person.
You feel home at this place..
Quality, prices, service are the same since I tried them 3 years ago.
Highly recommended 👌 .
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, & I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
The food was exceptional
The staff were equally impressive
Management deserves special mention.
Thanks for a great experience!
Excellent restaurant ! Les employés sont vraiment très gentils & le service impeccable! La nourriture y est excellente. Je recommande 1000% ! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Le repas était bon dans l'ensemble, mais je trouve que c'est un peu cher pour ce que c'est.
La qualité est là, mais les portions pourraient être un peu plus généreuses pour le prix.
Par contre, le kunafa était vraiment excellent - croustillant, bien sucré, & parfaitement préparé.
Juste pour ça, ça vaut peut-être le détour si vous aimez les desserts orientaux
The absolute #1 Turkish food in Montreal, & their Konafa is #1, fresh, & delicious! They even lowered their prices!! Unheard in Montreal!! Same amount of food! Their service is always with a smile, I return on a regular basis & refer many who are looking for a great restaurant downtown. Enjoy! Great for families, couples & friends.
A Taste of Tradition: Turkish Culinary Gem in the Heart of Downtown Montreal
In the bustling heart of downtown Montreal, there's a Turkish restaurant that has quietly stood the test of time since 2006. Amid the city's fast pace & modern distractions, this spot offers a rare & authentic taste of tradition.
The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sight of a woman at work, expertly rolling out dough by hand-an image straight out of a Turkish kitchen. She's been with the restaurant for decades, & her quiet dedication sets the tone for what's to come: fresh, handmade dishes rooted in time-honored techniques.
The space itself is modest in size but full of soul. Traditional Turkish décor & artwork bring warmth & cultural depth to the interior, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar & transportive. On select evenings, the addition of live music further enhances the experience, blending sound & flavor in the most inviting way.
What truly sets this restaurant apart is the unmistakable sense of care in every dish. Each plate is made to order using top-quality ingredients-no shortcuts, no compromises. The flavors are rich & comforting, evoking memories of meals lovingly prepared by a grandmother's hands.
The standout dish during our visit was the manti, a Turkish classic. These delicate, hand-folded dumplings were absolute perfection-tender, flavorful, & finished with a velvety yogurt & butter sauce. It's the kind of dish that silences a table, if only for a moment of pure appreciation.
We ended our meal with the quintessential pairing of Turkish tea & lokum (Turkish delight), the final sweet note to a deeply satisfying & memorable experience.
This is not just a restaurant-it's a celebration of heritage in the middle of downtown. A true hidden gem for those seeking authenticity, warmth, & a culinary connection to tradition.
