The best Turkish restaurant in Saint-Laurent with a great decor & an amazing staff ❤?❤? We made reservations & came during the Ramadan time in the evening & it was wonderful to see the restaurant fill up & everyone started getting served at sun down 😇😇 From the servers to the maître d' everyone was super welcoming, professional, & went out of the way to answer any questions about the food & how it will be served 🙏🙏 Since it was the Ramadan menu we started with dates & salad & mini cucumbers & then moved onto lentil soup with Turkish bread followed by cigar rolls 😇😇 Each bite was beyond delicious & we looked forward to the main meal during which we had the Adana Kebab as well as Brochette de Poulet & wow ❤?❤? Our full compliments to the chef who made such delicacies with so much attention & care 🙏🙏 Finally we ended with Turkish tea & dessert (Baklava) & loved it so much that we got a box of exquisite Turkish baklava to go 😇😇 Cannot recommend this 11/10 Turkish restaurant to anyone in Saint-Laurent & beyond who wants to try exquisite delicious food with the best attentive staff who are always on their feet giving the best customer service ❤?❤?
If you've never been to Turkey but dream of experiencing its authentic flavors & atmosphere, this restaurant is absolutely the place to go. I've tried many Turkish restaurants, & Günaydin is truly the one that stands out. The food is delicious, the vibes are fantastic, & the staff is incredibly kind & attentive.
I recently invited my colleagues for an Iftar there, & everyone loved the experience. They even mentioned they would definitely come back. Thank you to the whole team for your dedication & hospitality.
We loved our experience as a family of 5 - wonderfully authentic, warm & friendly service & atmosphere. Delicious kebabs, tajine & pide & generous portions. Turkish coffee absolutely delicious!
Wow! I had never had Turkish food before but I like to try new things & this place blew my mind with how good everything was. The service was amazing. I will be going back.
I've visited several Turkish restaurants outside of Turkey, & this is by far the most authentic. The food, the people-everything feels genuine. Just try it & be amazed.
Superbe ambiance première fois qu'on y allait pour la saint valentin . & jamais essayer la nourriture turkish s'était très bon. Even a live band . 💕💕💕💕
A wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic Turkish flavors, & beautifully presented. The service was warm & attentive, & the atmosphere made us feel truly welcome. Gunaydin is a place I would gladly return to & recommend without hesitation.

Gunaydin Restaurant in Montreal offers a very enjoyable dining experience with authentic Turkish flavors & generous portions. The meats are well seasoned & cooked nicely, especially the kebabs, which are flavorful & satisfying. Service is friendly & welcoming, & the atmosphere feels warm & traditional. While there's still a bit of room for improvement in consistency during busy hours, the overall quality, taste, & value make this place worth visiting. A solid choice for anyone craving good Turkish cuisine in the city.
My wife & I came here for a romantic dinner & had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is fantastic-beautiful decor, great music, & a really warm ambience that sets the perfect mood.
The food was absolutely delicious. We started with aubergine meze & complementary fresh homemade bread Tzatziki & Tomato Ezme, which was a very nice touch. For our mains, we ordered the Adana Kebab & the Mixed Pide-both were cooked perfectly & full of flavor.
A huge highlight for me was the ice-cold Ayran drink; it was incredibly refreshing. We finished the evening perfectly with some Turkish tea & Kunefe.
We enjoyed it so much that we are already planning to come back, but next time we'll bring the kids to try the breakfast!
It might be busy on Friday & Saturday night so it's better to call 🤙 & reserve a spot to avoid waiting or not being able to visit the place.
