Review Summary

Overall, reviews of Istanbul Gunes Kebab describe a standout Turkish restaurant in Montreal with generous portions, well-seasoned meats, and dishes that are often delicious and flavorful whether dining in or taking out. The service is frequently praised as fast and attentive, with welcoming staff and a warm, cozy atmosphere, sometimes including celebratory touches like cake for birthdays. The bread and other in-house preparations are commonly highlighted, along with a variety of dishes such as pide, kebab plates, lentil soup, and salads. Some comments note occasional inconsistency, busy weekends with noise, and the occasional greasy or heavy dish, as well as a few less favorable service experiences. Nevertheless, Istanbul Gunes Kebab is regarded as one of the best Turkish places in Montreal, a reliable option for families, groups or date nights, and a hidden gem many reviewers say they would return to.

We recently visited this newly opened Turkish restaurant & had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious & very high quality. We ordered the mixed kebab, & the meat was very tender & flavorful. The chicken was perfectly cooked as well.
After our meal, we had baklava & Turkish tea, which were both amazing & the perfect way to finish the meal.
We will definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to everyone!

Recommended by a friend who lives within walking distance we tried this spot a Friday night. I have eaten in other Turkish restaurants in Montreal & had a certain expectation which I had to alter as soon as I entered the restaurant. The room is large with high ceilings & well laid out although tables are a tad too close to each other for my taste. The place was busy & we were seated near the kitchen area since it was busy. Within minutes though I was surprised as our waitress asked if we wanted to move to a nicer table.. I read some reviews about the wait staff..& all I can say is they are adorable polite, smiling (hard to do if you in a busy restaurant setting), We were served by 4 different persons & all were helpful & attentive considering the amount of customers. For the food I was impressed they bake their own bread in an open oven, We had a variety of dishes including a cheese pide, some chicken sandwiches which arrived well done as requested, lentil soup, salads, hummus & feta cigars. Two of us who ordered the sandwiches were surprised by the weight of each sandwich & how tasty they were. Both of us continued eating despite the fact we were full midway through. Teh Fries which I had not ordered are spectacular ( i like salt). Our pide guest also ate through it all & despite complaining about the size managed to eat all of it along with some cigars & a rice pudding that looked like it could feed 3 persons. Our soup guru was also impressed with the taste of the soup. One of group is a little skeptical about foreign food in general..but he actually was the first to say he wanted to go back. The service is perfect for this type of restaurant, its humming & busy so do not expect someone to dote on you, there are no busboys roles so relax & have a pleasant tea. We did sit around a while not knowing we had to go to the cash register for our bill..but no biggie & again I have rarely been in restaurants where everyone was so nice, smiling & helpful.

We recently dined at the restaurant for the second time & tried a variety of dishes. We ordered the chicken with legume, shish tabuk plate with fries instead of bulgur, lamb cutlets, & cheese rolls. The chicken with legume was very tender, though it could have used more seasoning-perhaps a bit more salt & pepper. The shish tabuk was juicy & flavorful. Initially, the fries were forgotten, but the staff promptly brought them to us after we mentioned it. My son particularly enjoyed the lamb cutlets, finding them delicious. The cheese rolls were light & tasty, & we loved the dipping sauce that came with them. However, the salad that accompanied our plates could have been fresher. Overall, it was a good dining experience, though we felt the prices were a bit high. By the way the bread tastes extremely good 👍🏻.

I enjoyed our dinner here when were visiting Montreal, it's a traditional Turkish cuisine, my favorite was the chicken & Lamb Tikka...the rest was average but I would go again if I was in Montreal..

This is a really special place for turkish food, kebab as well as halal food! The food is not too spicy or salty, very nice taste; good for everyone with different diet! I highly recommend to order coutlet d'agneau( lab meat cut); these are the best food , the meat is fresh & delicious. My second choice is luhmacun( like a thin bread pizza with meat & vegetable on top) ; it is very delicious! I also tried chicken kebab & it was good. Tradition tea was also very good! I also ordered kunafa, but was not good at all. Main food was so good! Highly recommended. Bread is fresh; cooked in the store. Awesome experience except dessert
