Mont-Istanbul receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its doner sandwiches, with meat that is well seasoned, thinly sliced, and generously portioned; many say the bread is fresh and the fillings are plentiful, making the meals very filling and good value. The menu is appreciated for variety, including bulgur, soups, salads, kunefe, and iskender kebab, and flavors are described as authentic and consistently tasty. The staff and owners are repeatedly praised for friendliness, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere, with a family run feel noted by many. A few reviews mention downsides such as chicken tasting old, rice seeming stale, and occasional long waits when busy, but the overall experience is described as excellent and Mont-Istanbul is cited as among the best doner places in town. It is described as clean and spacious, with generous portions, a suitable setting for family or friends, and a top choice for Turkish food in Montreal.
Très belle découverte près de chez moi ! J'ai pris un pita au poulet style Istanbul & c'était vraiment excellent. Le poulet était bien assaisonné, tendre & plein de saveur, avec des légumes frais & un pain moelleux. Tout était bien équilibré & préparé avec soin. Service rapide & ambiance simple mais agréable. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !
Great find near my place! I had a chicken pita Istanbul-style & it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was well-seasoned, tender, & flavorful, with fresh veggies & soft, tasty bread. Everything was well balanced & made with care. Fast service & a nice, simple atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back!
Something in the mixed doner chicken sandwich keeps me going back. The bread made fresh is light, fluffy almost an after thought. It's very satisfying. A hearty, hits the spot sandwich.
One of the best Turkish restaurants in Montreal, honestly. The food is very delicious, & the flavors are authentic, truly reflecting real Turkish cuisine. The place is clean & well-organized, & you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. The service is respectful & fast, & it's definitely a place worth visiting again. I highly recommend it
Amazing doner sandwiches. Meat js well done & seasoned. Sandwiches are heavy & they are generous with their toppings. Very filling. We came from Toronto & found it accidentally. We will return here again!

Food is fantastic very tasty very clean & the price very very reasonable what you pay you getting a lot. & the people works there the owner to everyone they are very nice
This place was on my list of places to try & I was excited for it! I just need to mention the soup, the side salad & the bulgur were very tasty, too bad the rest of it was a massive disappointment tho. The chicken tasted old (it was past, not fresh) so chewy you could chew for days! … Even the white rice was stale; it tasted like it was left on the counter for 3 days. How do you mess RICE up so bad? Never again.
My partner & I come pick up a döner sandwich at least once a week! Simply THE BEST in the neighborhood. None of the big chains compare to the taste of Mont Istanbul
The service is always very quick & their staff is so friendly & smiling all the time! Highly recommend. 10/10
The food was perfectly portioned & filling for one person. The restaurant itself is spacious & very clean, making it a comfortable place to visit with friends or family. We also had no trouble finding parking, which was a big plus. What I especially appreciate is that the restaurant stays open until 11 PM, ideal for anyone coming from work & wanting to enjoy a relaxed get-together.
