Mont-Istanbul is widely praised for large, satisfying portions and fresh ingredients that help justify the price, with many noting authentic Turkish flavors in dishes like doner, kebab, and pita sandwiches. The menu often features generous servings, soft bread, and a balance of salads and sauces, while the atmosphere is described as clean, welcoming, and family owned with fast, friendly service. Several reviewers highlight the reliability of the doner sandwiches and other favorites, sometimes along with standout items like soups and kunefe, and many say they would return and recommend it. Occasional drawbacks include a few dishes that did not meet expectations and busy times where service may slow, but overall Mont-Istanbul is regarded as one of the top Turkish options in Montreal with consistent quality and value.
I love this place!! It's so delicious & the amount of food form the price is unbelievable, excellent value. The vibe inside is simple, but I'm not here to admire the interior design. Can come with my family.of four & everyone finds something they like & leaves happy & satisfied with enough left overs for next day. The staff have always been super friendly. Cannot recommend it enough.
The staff was VERY friendly & gave us the extra sauce that we asked for right away & our waitress spoke French, English, & Arabic, which are the three languages my party spoke at different levels of proficiency, so we were all able to communicate easily with her.
The Chicken Doner plate was absolute scrumptious, the bulgur wheat was perfect, & the complimentary tea was some of the tastiest I had ever had.
Je suis malheureusement très déçue par ma commande. La kunafa reçue ne contenait pas de fromage, alors qu'il s'agit d'un ingrédient essentiel & que cela n'était pas mentionné. Je m'attendais à un produit conforme à la description & de meilleure qualité.
J'ai commande un plat mixte boeuf & poulet. Il y avait une caissiere & une cuisinière, pas de client a 12:45 pm. Donc pas de rush pour preparer la nourriture. Malheureusement le poulet & le boeuf étaient déjà préalablement coupés & mis dans un contenant. On m'a assuré que ca vient d'être coupé & c'est chaud... tout était tiède & malheureusement sans aucun goût...
The new staff at this restaurant have been quite awkward & unprofessional. I've been a regular for the past two years, & the previous staff was always friendly, polite, & provided excellent service. Unfortunately, none of the previous staff is still there, & the new front desk lady was particularly unfriendly & unresponsive. Also the service was not good at all, no plate we received & we got the fork & knife was given us on the napkins. That was even worse, after asking for the pizza box to take out my food. she threw it on the counter. It was a very disappointing experience.
I would never go again.
Their mixed meat sandwich is really good. Bread is light fresh & delicious & meat tastes fresh. A good sandwich at a good price. Very generous portions. I usually take the sandwich to go & warm at my house. An ipa & a good Netflix show goes well with this sandwich a weeknight when too tired to cook.
Service catastrophique, qualité des produits s est beaucoup détérioré , sauce dans aucun goût & viande pas bonne du tout.
Je suis très déçue car c'était un de mes meilleurs sandwichs à Montréal
