Chef Istanbul est perçu comme une adresse turque authentique au centre-ville avec du pain frais fait maison et des viandes grillées savoureuses, les plats phares comme le kebab et le shawarma étant souvent salués pour leur goût et leur rapport qualité-prix; les sandwichs, notamment au poulet et à l'agneau, sont fréquemment recommandés et la soupe de lentilles et le labneh reçoivent aussi des éloges, tout comme les frites croustillantes et les accompagnements soignés. Le service est généralement chaleureux et rapide, l'atmosphère conviviale et accessible, apprécié par les étudiants et les familles, et la nourriture est décrite comme généreuse avec des portions qui rassasient. De nombreux avis vantent la diversité du menu et la fraîcheur des ingrédients, tandis que certains témoignages signalent des expériences variables selon le jour ou le plat, avec des plats parfois moins réussis ou des portions plus petites pour le prix. Une fermeture temporaire pour un problème électrique est mentionnée, avec l'espoir d'une réouverture prochaine; malgré cela, le lieu est souvent présenté comme une excellente option pour goûter une cuisine turque de qualité à un prix raisonnable et pour son accueil chaleureux.
The location & atmosphere is great, but the taste & service is questionable. First of all, Lahmacun is not crispy, & too thick. This is the usual issue of Turkish restaurants in Montreal. They still couldn't make a crispy thin Lahmacun. It is like a "Kiymali Pide" but tasty. Make it thinner, crispier, it is possible with pizza ovens, you just need to work on it. Secondly döner. Why you keep it calling it Shawarma in a "Cuisine Turque" restaurant. Looks like you had the döner, tantuni (even innovative Tantuni Iskender) in your old menu, but it is no longer existing. Döner assiette (it was promoted as Swarma) was an average swarma as its best, not bad, & soft, but not good looking. Prices are not cheap, & service was slow. Propapably will not come back unless they figure it out crispy Lahmacun & thinly sliced juicy & tender döner. I have visited more than 6 or 7 Turkish restaurants in Montreal, & have to admit most of them are disappointing. Will keep looking though. Guys, do it the original way please!
This is not a turkish restaurant, that's just another random shawarma place & don't even have döner or turkish food. The sandwiches & sauces are very average. Don't understand the obsession of opening arabic restaurant & name it Turkish!!

Near Concordia. wide variety of turkish food made to order. Food was ok, service was good. staff is friendly. place is clean. Feels like a knock off of a famous sandwhich place a few blocks down.
I visited this place for the first time, located in the heart of downtown, had a yogurt tantuni plate & a beef dinner sandwich. I enjoyed both but I prefer the yogurt tantuni. The sandwich lacked flavor but that could just be me. I dipped the sandwich into the yogurt sauce from the other plate lol. I then enjoyed it 😊 The Kunefe with vanilla ice cream was a first for me. It was a pleasant surprise, perfect level of sweetness & becomes rich with the ice cream. It was a perfect meal after a long day at work. I would come back for the yogurt tantuni & kunefe but would also try other items. Round 2: I had the beef plate & it was a real treat. The meat was fantastic, the dipping sauce was amazing, & the bread was fresh out of the oven literally. If you want fresh tasty Turkish kebab, this is the place to go to. I'll try other items soon 😋
You cannot go wrong with the spicy chicken sandwich. The sandwich was delicious, the value was great, the seating is comfortable, & the service was excellent. Definitely my new go to spot for my lunch when I'm on campus. I finished my meal with a hot Turkish tea which was the perfect way to end my lunch experience.

Authentic Turkish food. I've eaten at this place several times, & each time the food was amazing. My favourite is the lamb plate! 👍 However, they recently increased their prices, so I'll reduce my rating by one star. The rent in the area & the cost of food don't justify the price increase. Keep the quality high, but don't play with the prices.
The only reason I went there because of hoping I would eat Turkish Food, but it has nothing to do with Turkish food so I don't want you to be disappointed like me. Food was ok, sandwiches bread was delicious but unfortunately I couldn't find I what I was looking for. Please ask customers if they want yogurt in their sandwich or not!!! Just dont put it....
