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!
Insanely good food, generous quantities, nice staff & clean restaurant. Avoid going during rush hours on weekend if you mind kids noises. But overall, highly recommended. Best turkish food in the city.
J'ai commandé 3 trios sandwichs & une assiette, & l'expérience a été très décevante.
Le riz & les frites étaient excessivement gras, les sandwichs sans aucun goût & le shawarma beaucoup trop sèche 🤮.
J'avais littéralement le goût de vomir après avoir mangé.
La qualité n'était vraiment pas au rendez-vous.
Ce n'est pas la première fois, mais certainement la dernière.
Je ne recommande absolument pas & je ne renouvellerai pas l'expérience.
One the best restaurant in town. Food is always super fresh & extremely delicious & tasty. The spices are on point. I almost tried all their menu, both at the restaurant & by ordering, & nothing has disappointed me - maybe except the Russian salad mayonnaise that I find too greasy... I highly recommend!

I had a great dining experience at Istanbul Gunes Kebab tonight. The quality of the food was excellent, & the portions were generous. The staff were very friendly & welcoming, which made the evening even more enjoyable.
We were celebrating a friend's birthday, & the restaurant added a special touch by bringing out our cake with'Happy Birthday' music. It was a lovely surprise & made the moment more memorable.
I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food & warm service. I'll definitely come back!
Excellente expérience au restaurant Gunes kebab ! Le service est rapide & chaleureux, la nourriture est savoureuse & de grande qualité. Une mention spéciale à notre serveur Ghiles, qui a été tout simplement exceptionnel : professionnel, attentionné & très efficace. Son service à la clientèle est irréprochable. Je recommande vivement cet endroit !
A hidden gem!
The food is so so tasty! Service was really good despite having trainees!
I really recommend the Pidé & the mixed kebab plate! Delicious! The portions are really generous as well.
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.
La nourriture était délicieuse. Nous avions eu le sandwich doner boeuf & un doner mix, qui vient avec une salade. Le pain est croustillant, fait au four. À recommander. Les serveurs sont accueillants. J'ai remarqué qu'il faut aviser le serveur quand on est prêt pour commander. Mis-à-jour: Nous sommes retournés en famille. Tout était splendide. La salade, les frites, les plats à partager, le lahmacun... tout était délicieux. Toute une expérience.

Portions généreuses, service efficace & tout est absolument délicieux. Je recommande l'assiette kebab mixte qui vous donne l'occasion de goûter à toutes leurs grillades.
Food is awesome, definitely recommend . However, service was not very fast & they served us water which was not cooled. It was 40 degrees outside so I would expect cold water on that day. Still worth going for the amazing food though, 10/10.
Istanbul Gunes Kebap in Montreal is a hidden gem for Turkish cuisine lovers. The authenticity of their dishes is unmatched, offering a delightful journey through the rich flavors of Turkey. The kebabs are succulent & perfectly seasoned, while the mezes are fresh & vibrant. The ambiance is cozy & inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining & special occasions. The staff is friendly & attentive, ensuring an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend the Adana Kebab & the Baklava for dessert. Truly a taste of Turkey in the heart of Montreal!
