Chef Istanbul is a popular, budget-friendly spot for authentic Turkish food where generous portions, flavorful kebabs, and house baked bread stand out, along with a wide range of items that please students and families alike. The service is generally friendly and quick, with many guests praising attentive staff and a casual welcoming atmosphere, and occasional extras such as complimentary bread or tea, while some visits note busy times and a few dishes that miss the mark. The menu's halal options and fresh ingredients receive frequent praise, and while most reviews are glowing, there are occasional criticisms about pace, pricing, or a temporary closure due to an electrical problem.
there's a 10 minute wait for the food, but it's so worth it for the fresh baked bread. their spicy chicken shawarma is something serious & I like that they put in mint (& I think yogurt?) it's excellent
The same type of sandwich as Antep offer but with lower quality! Just the bread is fresh but the quality of the meat is not good! The lamb kebab sandwich has a very bad smell!
One of the top Doner places I've tried so far. Freshly baked bread, crunchy veggies, perfecly-spiced meat topped with an exceptional sauce. Only problem is to choose, which sandwiches will you order today. & super-ftiendly staff is a cherry on top!
I visited this place for the first time, located in the heart of downtown, had a yogurt tantuni plate & a beef dinner sandwich. I enjoyed both but I prefer the yogurt tantuni. The sandwich lacked flavor but that could just be me. I dipped the sandwich into the yogurt sauce from the other plate lol. I then enjoyed it 😊 The Kunefe with vanilla ice cream was a first for me. It was a pleasant surprise, perfect level of sweetness & becomes rich with the ice cream. It was a perfect meal after a long day at work. I would come back for the yogurt tantuni & kunefe but would also try other items. Round 2: I had the beef plate & it was a real treat. The meat was fantastic, the dipping sauce was amazing, & the bread was fresh out of the oven literally. If you want fresh tasty Turkish kebab, this is the place to go to. I'll try other items soon 😋

One of the best halal restaurants in Montreal! Tastey, fresh, reasonable price & the best thing is their portion. I ordered for one & it was more than enough for both me & my daughter.
Pleasantly surprised, if you have throat or jaw issues these sandwiches are great. Easy bite & chew, nicely seasoned & they give you hot peppers on the side to dose your desired heat. Lots of fresh herbs & not greasy Very friendly service & very clean. edit: their lentil soup has saved my life when I was feeling lousy so many times since this spring I love this place

My go to place to eat in between class to get a healthy option that feels like a home cooked meal. The food is freshly cooked & delicious. The hospitality that I experienced was warm from the owner to the employees.
If you're looking for clean, delicious & nutritious food for a reasonable price, this is absolutely the place for you. Bread is baked fresh for every order, the meats are cooked fresh & do not forget to grab a cup of delicious tea before heading out. This place is a gem.
