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.

Bonne expérience. Le gérant est très accueillant & très gentil. La nourriture est bonne. Moi qui suis très sensible aux épices, sauces,… je n'ai pas eu mal du tout. C'était bon, le pain fait sur place aussi.
Maintenant, un manque de déco, un peu d'hygiène & de rangement, mais ça reste correct pour un fast food. Bon, j'avais oublié de prendre une photo des plats, mais ils ont été finis 🤭🤭
