Günaydin is praised for authentic Turkish flavors, generous portions, and warm, attentive service, with many reviewers calling the breakfast and brunch experiences outstanding and transporting diners to Turkey; the decor and ambiance are repeatedly highlighted as elegant and inviting, though crowds can make service lively and some guests feel prices are a bit high for certain offerings; overall, the restaurant is described as a top choice with consistent quality, memorable kebabs and pide, and a welcoming atmosphere that invites repeat visits.
Gunaydin was a phenomenal experience. I am an avid fan of Turkish cuisine & try new restaurants in this category often, but Gunaydin shone above the majority that I have tried in Canada between Montreal & the GTA in Ontario. First of all, the space is large & comfortable. It is nicely decorated but not overdone. I really like that they have a sink outside of the toilets so you can wash your hands without waiting for someone to finish in the washroom, which happens frustratingly often at restaurants. The restaurant is kept very clean.
As for the food, the menu is large & boasts a number of uncommon selections such as the Turkish mezzes. Their larger platters are served on some beautiful dinnerware, but we were only three so we did not order that although I saw it on another table. The presentation of our dishes were still fantastic, you can tell they pay attention to that here. The quality matched the looks-fantastic meats, tasty bulgur- everything was a hit, including the delectably cheesy Sujuk Pide.
Service from the ladies that served us was fine. The man with the AP that took our payment was very friendly, however. He might have been the owner. I highly recommend this restaurant as someone who is very familiar with Turkish food.
Amazing turkish restaurant! The service is very friendly, food is delicious, & the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Would definitely come back again!
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.
