This place genuinely made me happy. The Turkish food was so good, it really felt like eating a homemade meal. The owner was incredibly kind & welcoming, & that made the experience feel even more special. I left full, happy, & already wanting to come back.

Went to get a chicken shawarma sandwich. Food came out super earlier than two other guests that had been there before me. Walked 2mins to my home, took a bite off the sandwich & it was cold & smelled like it had been out for a while. I called the restaurant to complain & the staff that answered the call's excuse was that the salads are made cold so thats the reason why the sandwich was cold. I am a chef for 10years & I've lived in Turkey well enough to know Turkish meal. & you don't need to be a scientist to know what a stale old sandwich would taste like. Stop taking customer's money & patronage for granted & do bette

Such a hidden gem! I was chaperoning a group of 11 16-17yr swimmers in town & need to find a place with generous portion, with food that can satisfy everyone's taste buds. Chef Istanbul hits all the check boxes. Their food is fresh & delicious/yummy. The freshly baked Turkish bread & garlic are also hugely loved by the group. Highly recommend!

Visited Chef Istanbul in Montreal & tried their kebab plate with one beef kebab & one lamb kebab. Both were flavorful, well-cooked, & generously portioned. The highlight for me was the selection of sauces-they complemented the meat perfectly & added a lot of depth to the meal. A solid 9/10 overall.
The restaurant serves halal food, which is a big plus, & the ambiance was warm & inviting, making for a pleasant dining experience. Friendly service & a comfortable atmosphere make this a spot I'd happily return to. Highly recommended for anyone craving quality Turkish cuisine in Montreal.

Amaaaaaazing food, wow. Hands down some of the best middle eastern food I've had. The bread was also super fresh, made in-house, & could be eaten on its own. The owners also came over with Turkish tea afterwards! Got the family platter which is great for 4-5 people & a solid price.
