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.
One of the best halal restaurants in Montréal. Quick service, reasonably priced food & delicious meals. If you order the Turkish'burger' it is very tasty both chicken & lamb I believe for 9.99. I went with one of that & also the plate for 15.99 which was also good. Filling food so you won't leave hungry, satisfying experience & quick service. Oh & the seating area is nice too have plenty of space upstairs which is where I sat with 2 other people. Highly recommend if in downtown Montréal
As a vegan, finding flavorful, satisfying options can sometimes be a challenge-but Chef Istanbul absolutely nails it! Their falafel sandwich is hands down the best in Montreal. It's a go-to comfort food that never disappoints. The bread is freshly baked & the best bread I have ever had.
The staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming, always making you feel at home. They're happy to accommodate dietary needs & clearly take pride in what they serve. The atmosphere is relaxed & inviting, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy your meal.
Chef Istanbul is located at downtown Montreal & right next to Concordia University. This place is accessible easily through public transport by metro & bus.
The food here is delicious - they have a good amount of variety in their menu & all the items we tried were well cooked & tasty.
They bake their own bread which is super soft & goes amazing with the lentil soup.
The meat & the kebab were tender.
The staff are friendly & service is quick. Although this place is self service. Seating is plenty.

We got the chicken/beef shawarma plate & the filet mignon sandwich trio. All was fresh & really tasty, although be careful if u don't like dill as they put it as the part of the sauce in the sandwich. But other than that, I believe they have the best fries & dip in Montreal!
The prices are a bit higher than in other similar places in Montreal (40$ for both, excl. tip) but overall it was a very nice place for lunch!!
LOVED the joyous & cozy atmosphere of this place, we went in during a snowstorm while visiting Montreal for the first time & the owner gave us some tea for free (it was freezing outside so this really made our night!). Highly recommended + the food was DELICIOUS!!!
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.
