The food is exceptional & the service too. The owner of the store was so kind to me especially as I was a student. I was amazed when I took a bite of the chicken shawarma & it was too good. It's a place I will visit again for the taste & the ambiance. Very cozy & I would recommend everyone to try it.

It was my first time visiting Chef Istanbul. I came here after a friend recommended it. I tried their kebab with fries & had a guava juice, everything was amazing. On top of that, the staff was super nice. I definitely recommend it!

The place looks nice, but honestly the food doesn't really match the name Chef Istanbul, It's not terrible, but if you've ever tried real Turkish food, you can feel the difference right away. The taste & quality could be much better it's missing that authentic Turkish flavor.

L'endroit est agréable, mais honnêtement la nourriture ne correspond pas vraiment au nom, Chef Istanbul, Ce n'est pas mauvais, mais si vous avez déjà goûté à la vraie cuisine turque, vous sentez tout de suite la différence. Le goût & la qualité pourraient être bien meilleurs, il manque la vraie saveur turque authentique.

The place is nice & clean, & the food is good. However, there are other Turkish restaurants in Montréal with stronger & more authentic flavors. Still, it's a decent experience overall

It used to be one of the best places for Turkish food couple of years ago but nowadays it was so disappointed. The food was super cold.

Better than expected. Filled with polite Concordia kids. Chicken schwarma was well seasoned & the bowl option came with tons of fresh veg. Good option for something fresh & quick
