Maison Istanbul Longueuil is described as a popular, family friendly Turkish style restaurant in Longueuil with flavorful, generously portioned dishes and solid value for money. The menu features kebabs, grills, and pide with meat that is often praised as fresh and tender, and while many notes celebrate authentic Turkish flavors, some reviewers feel the seasoning leans toward Middle Eastern profiles. Service is repeatedly described as warm, attentive and efficient, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere and good experiences for both adults and children, though a few visits mention longer waits, busier rooms and occasional noise or slower front desk seating. The dining area is generally clean and comfortable with a calm or convivial vibe, and the tea and desserts like baklava get praise. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a reliable choice for a satisfying meal with good portions and friendly staff, with some occasional inconsistencies in portion size and pacing across visits.
Date of Visit: Sunday, December 7, 2025
Time of Visit: 11:30 AM (Restaurant Empty)
⭐ Ambiance & Seating (3/5)
We arrived right at opening on a cold Sunday morning. While the restaurant was empty, we were initially seated at a side table near the window. Given the winter temperatures, the chill became noticeable within five minutes. We requested to move & were promptly relocated to the warmer center of the dining room.
Suggestion: Since cold temperatures near the windows have been noted by other diners, it might be more efficient for staff to automatically seat early customers in the center of the restaurant during the winter months.
A notable issue was the noise level once the second table arrived (seated approximately two meters away). Their conversation was extremely loud, making it difficult for us to hear each other & enjoy our meal.
🍽? Food & Flavor Profile
1) Pide with meat & egg - $11.99 before tax - Unexpectedly really tasty eventhough I'm used to Pide with cheese. Every pide I have ever had, both inside & outside of Istanbul/Turkiye, included cheese. Despite this omission, the flavor was way better than anticipated.
2) Kebab Filet Mignon 2 sticks - $27.99 before tax - The meat was tender, but the marinade was heavily spiced, particularly with cumin. This strong spice profile, which wafted noticeably when the server approached, extended to the accompanying fries
🤔 Authenticity & Overall Impression
A note on Authenticity: I must respectfully disagree with other reviews that label this as'authentic Turkish' cuisine.
• The flavor profile, especially the heavy spice use in the kebab, leans very strongly towards a Middle Eastern style rather than the typical, more subtle seasoning found in classic Turkish cooking.
• My Turkish husband agrees that while the food is good, it is not authentically Turkish. We both felt that if the restaurant were named something other than a Turkish descriptor, it would be a more accurate representation of the food served.
• For Context: I did confirm with the waitress that the chef is Turkish.
✅ Service & Logistics
Service was prompt & attentive, which is understandable as we were the only customers. Our server was efficient, juggling our needs while preparing the restaurant for the day. Payment is handled at the cashier station near the entrance.
Overall Rating:
Good food, but the strong Middle Eastern flavor profile & the initial seating/noise issues prevent a perfect score. If you are seeking genuine Turkish flavors, you may be disappointed; if you enjoy Middle Eastern-style kebabs, you will likely be satisfied.
Une expérience exceptionnelle ! Merci beaucoup pour le délicieux repas & le service impeccable. J'ai vraiment apprécié ma visite chez vous. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de succès & je reviendrai certainement bientôt 🌟🍽?

Restaurant TURC, tout était délicieux, de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert.
Nourriture très fraiche, charmante serveuse, polie, toujours très souriante (qui vit dans le Vieux Longueuil, je ne sais pas son prénom mais elle m'a dit qu'elle était Algérienne). C'était notre première fois & c'est certain que nous y reviendrons.
Bonne nourriture, nous avons adoré la pizza turque.
Par contre, beaucoup d'attente à l'accueil avant que quelqu'un nous attribue une table.
Très bon service par notre serveuse lors de la commande mais beaucoup trop d'achalandage pour 2 serveuses qui gèrent la salle à manger & les commandes pour emporter ce qui fait en sorte de diminuer la satisfaction du service.
J'ai organisé une petite cérémonie au restaurant Istanbul, & tout était parfait du début à la fin ! 🌟
L'équipe a été formidable, très accueillante & attentionnée. Le service était excellent, la cuisine délicieuse & l'ambiance vraiment chaleureuse.
Je garde un très beau souvenir de cette soirée & je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui veulent passer un moment agréable & bien organisé.
Un grand merci à toute l'équipe ! 🙏💐
La nourriture est bonne, en particulier les grillades que j'apprécie beaucoup. L'endroit est propre, ce qui est très agréable. On y mange vraiment bien, je le recommande.
Excellent restaurant ! Accueil chaleureux, service rapide & plats savoureux. Le goût des kebabs est authentique comme à Istanbul. Je recommande vivement Maison Kabeb Istanbul, une superbe expérience !
Je viens de passer se soir l'ambiance parfaite

Merci « Maison Istanbul »& « Mehdi »
After watching Ksi??ulo on a Saturday, I had to have a kebab. Didn't want to go into the city for that. Went here & got the chicken sandwich kebab. It made me so happy.
