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.
The soup was perfect during a cold night, along with a delicious kebab sandwich & a cup of tea that hit the spot. Great service & hospitality by Mohammad & Latif.

This is the best Turkish food in Montreal -- hands down! I've eaten here many times, & have come to learn that I can't just buy the kebab; but I have to get the homemade fries & sauce too; & enjoy it with some cold ayran & hot çay --- now that's a whole experience that I wasn't brave enough to have in just one sitting. It's an'eat-in' & a'take-out' kind of meal. May God richly bless the restaurant owner(s), & staff, for always providing quality food & service! 🙏🏼😋🤩😁
Not sure if they are the same owners as antep kebab but it's the same concept. They bake their own bread in house. Their chicken is so tender & juicy. Perfect lunch spot if you're in the city. It can take a little longer than average to get your food but it's so worth it cause they do everything in house.
Good food & affordable prices. It's a self service place with very friendly staff. We (my daughter & I) sat & ate plate of kebabs & falafel. During our meal the chef Offered us Arabic tomato rice complimentary with running tea.

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 😋
We got the kebab & chicken sandwiches, fries & falafel. Of which fries & falafel was good but the sandwiches had no taste at all. Customer service was terrible, the guy at the front was not happy & not helpful at all. The chef however was pleasant. Positive for being open late but food & service was below par.
