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.
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.
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!

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
Premièrement leurs doner préparer avec leurs pain maison , je n'avais jamais manger un tel doner . Sachant que j'en & manger plus d'une dizaine . Le service & l'ambiance , impeccable , à ne surtout pas rate
Especially the döner is really good, thin cut & tasty. If only there was also lahmacun, after all they have good pizzas but nothing can beat a thin crusty Turkish lahmacun. Waiting for it.
Excellent doner le pain est divin.
La viande la salade tout est bien préparé & harmonieux, plats équilibrés entre les salades les sauces les légumes j'adore tout & j'ai fait plusieurs places en Espagne & celui-ci est parmi les meilleurs.
I had the pleasure of trying the mixed doner & kunafa - both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic & well-balanced. What truly stood out was the warm & friendly customer service; the staff greeted us with genuine smiles & made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

So far, never tried a better place in Montreal, & I tried a LOT as I am a doner fanatic. This is by far the most tasty & generous portion of all the places I tried with great customization to boot. Cannot recommend enough. Too bad it's so far from where I live & food arrives on the cold side, but not restaurant's fault.
Best doner in Montreal by far that I order often, & after my recent experience, it will be the only place I ever order from. Price / quality / taste is unmatched IMHO.
I have visited this place numerous times, & my experiences have consistently been positive! The food is excellent & reasonably priced, making it a great value. We frequently order their doner sandwiches, wraps, & burgers, all of which are served on freshly baked doner bread (you have to wait for a bit as it's fresh). The portion sizes are generous, ensuring a satisfying meal. Additionally, they offer a wide range of other delicious choices, including pizza & chicken wings, providing plenty of options to suit different tastes.

I recently visited Mont ?stanbul Döner & had an amazing experience. The homemade soup was absolutely delicious - rich, flavorful, & made with the perfect balance of ingredients. Each spoonful was comforting, & you could tell it was made with care. For dessert, I had a kunefe, & it was the perfect ending to the meal. If you're a fan of rich, indulgent desserts, this kunefe is a must-try. The service was excellent, & the cozy ambiance made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Un bon kebab avec des produits de bonne qualité. Dommage le pain est un peu fin, mon döner s'est écroulé après quelques crocs...
Je n'ai pas trouvé les frites très bonnes mais c'est selon les goûts. Personnel sympa, rien à redire sur ce point.
