The reviews paint Gunaydin as a lively, welcoming hub of authentic Turkish flavors where breakfast and brunch are standout experiences, with fresh breads, mezes, ayran, jams, and a range of grilled meats that are described as tender, juicy, and well seasoned. Diners repeatedly praise generous portions, flavorful kebabs, Adana, kofta, and pide, and a warm, friendly staff with a comforting atmosphere, sometimes enhanced by Turkish music and elegant decor. The service is highlighted as attentive and the atmosphere makes guests feel at home. Many mention the Ramadan menu and breakfast as highlights, and the presentation and overall authenticity are commonly praised, with some calling it the best Turkish restaurant in Montreal and Canada by certain reviewers. A few notes of caveat include that prices can be high for the portions, there can be lines during peak hours, and some mornings or brunch options feel pricey or vary in traditional feel; reservations are advisable to avoid waits. Overall Gunaydin is presented as a top Turkish dining destination with consistent quality, strong hospitality, and a memorable ambiance.
The service is excellent, the food is delicious, I ordered mixed grills, it was excellent, & I ordered a lamb & chicken tagine, it was delicious, but the portion size is small for the price.
Absolutely Delightful! This was our first visit to Günaydin. I had seen a reel on my Facebook feed about their traditional Turkish breakfast. On this occasion however we were there for dinner, we were a group of four. We were not disappointed! We were warmly welcomed. Looked forward to our meal. A nice selections of entrées: we had the ezme, the haydari & sarma. All accompanied with fresh warm bread! Our mains consisted of Adana kebab, kofta kebab & chicken brochette. Portions are generous! The food was fresh & delicious. & to round it all out, kunefe accompanied with tea for dessert. All in all a sumptuous feast! we had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners/manager Very cordial! . We look forward to returning, the next time for their breakfast
Thankful we reserved a table because it was packed full. Once we got seated, we were shown what was popular & we took the shared mixed meat plate that came with two dipping sauces & bread along with a Turkish tajine & a beyti kebab. It was tasty but at the same time average. It had nothing special & we thought the spices that should have been present was very mild. Their main dishes were the most enjoyable. What was disappointing was the baklava & the kunefe. The service was fine & have to chase them a bit to get something.
Overall, it's enjoyable but average.

Hands down . The BEST Turkish restaurant in Montreal . I went to Turkey a few times in this one is Very authentic . The meat was fresh , exactly similar to Damas restaurant . It was tender & just savory. I HIGHLY recommend you to take the special grill for 2 or for 4 . Portion was very generous & pricing is very reasonable. Just wow ! & very very clean place, service is excellent .

The best Turkish food in Montreal. I was visiting from Toronto with friend. Searched this restaurant without any recommendation but it turn out to be the best place. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The owner himself is a very friendly person. 5*****
We live nearby but today first time to try it! Such a pleasant surprise! Beyond the delicious dishes the manager & the waitress are very cheerful! We will come back!
Overall experience was welcoming & the restaurant is beautiful. The food was decent but could use some work.
The adana kebab was very good but the chicken skewer isn't that great to be honest. It was chewy & was full of fat. Maybe use chicken breasts next time for your skewers. We also found the rice to be tasteless & the salad had a strong parsley taste to it. A bit is ok but too much is too much.
The desserts tasted good & fresh.
The one thing that shocked us was the pricing. 24.99 for a chicken skewer plate is pretty high. Most items are pretty expensive to be honest. We paid 250$ for 5 people & we were trying to not spend too much. 3.99 for a homemade ayran is very expensive. We can get a bottle of ayran for less at many places.
