The reason why I'm giving this establishment a three star review is due its lack of accessibility, however the food was great! I had the Beef Sharwarma Sandwich. Was served hot & it tasted very fresh!

The restaurant is located in a new building but there is no door opener, so if you are in a wheelchair or other use any other mobility device & do not have a lot of strength, you will need someone to be with you to open the door for you. A customer living with a disability mostly like can't come into the restaurant by themselves. There are many possible solutions such as installing a door bell or a ring camera that would allow customers with disabilities access to the restaurant that respect their independence & autonomy. Please do better & try to make your establishment more accessible for as many people as possible.

Unforgettable Turkish Dining Experience 🇹🇷✨

I can't say enough good things about this place! 🤩 I wanted to end my winter vacation in Canada on a high note, & after passing by a few times, I finally decided to give it a try. Let me tell you-I'm so glad I did!

🔥 A First-Time Turkish Food Experience to Remember 🔥
I had never tried Turkish food before, & this was my first experience. But after tasting these incredible flavors, I now want to book a trip to Istanbul just to relive this meal again! (Though first, I have a flight back to L.A. at 12 PM 🛫).

🥩 What I Ordered:
• Filet Mignon Plate - Cooked to perfection, so tender & flavorful!
• Turkish Tea ☕? - Smooth, aromatic, & deeply comforting.
• Kunafa 🧀🍯 - I saw it on a nearby table & couldn't resist. It was crispy, cheesy, & soaked in syrupy goodness!

💫 Beyond the Food - Exceptional Hospitality 💫
What truly made this visit special was the warm & inviting service. The staff here are incredibly kind, welcoming, & friendly-the kind of hospitality that makes you feel at home.

Even after our meal, the cashier went out of their way to recommend a nearby market so I could buy some of that amazing Turkish tea to take home with me. That level of thoughtfulness goes a long way!

🥲 Only One Regret…
The only thing that made me sad? They don't open early enough for me to grab one last meal before my flight! I wish I had more time to enjoy another plate before heading back home.

💯 Final Thoughts:
This meal reignited my love for Montréal, & while I'm excited to go back to L.A., I'm already missing this place! If you've read this far-do yourself a favor & try this spot! You won't regret it! 😍🔥

Chef Istanbul serves authentic Turkish food in downtown Montreal. Their freshly baked bread & juicy grilled meats, like the flavorful Adana kebab, are even better than what experienced in Turkey & Germany! The lentil soup is a comforting classic, & everything is served fresh & fast. With friendly service, delicious menus, & large portions at reasonable prices, it's the perfect go-to for a casual yet satisfying meals.
