The food here is very good. They make their bread on site & aren't shy about giving you a lot of chicken. The sandwich had a hint of mint, some Cukes & lots of meat. Very fresh & very tasty & affordable!!! I will return for sure

I don't have enough good stuff to say about this place! I wanted to end my Canada winter vacation on a high note & passed by here a few times. I finally decided to give this place a try. I've never had Turkish food before. This is my first experience & it makes me want to travel to Istanbul to relive the flavors I've just experienced. (Got a flight back to L.A at 12pm) I've ordered the filet mignon plate & then ordered tea & the kunafa after seeing a table next to us with it. More than the food, the service here was very inviting, nice, & very friendly. I absolutely love the food! The flavor! Just outstanding! On our way back to our hotel, the cashier directed me to the nearby market so I can get the wonderful tea myself. My only disappointment is that they're not open early enough for us to get a bit before the flight. The food & tea here helped put a little extra pep in my step & have me so excited about Montréal again, but sad to go back home tomorrow. If you've read up this far, please give this place a try.

Very nice place with kind staff. The food is super delicious & tasteful. They bake their own bread, & I would suggest ask for extras! We ordered tea as well after the kebabs & it completed our meal. Highly recommended & would go back here again!
