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.
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.
Impressed with not only the quality & attention to detail when it comes to fresh ingredients, but also the plethora of dishes to choose from makes this spot an ideal place to satisfy everyone's palette …. I mean the owner being present at any establishment only proves one Thing to me . PASSION
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.
Visited Mont Istanbul,
& had a great experience! Our server, Yusra, was incredibly attentive, friendly, & welcoming, serving with a smile.
We tried the doner wrap & kunafa both were exceptionally fresh & satisfying. The flavours were spot on, & the portions were filling.
Loved the experience & will be back soon

Where can I start? I finished work late & decided to grab something to eat before going home. I got there & the service was so amazing. I asked what should I get for my first time there & recommended me the Doner sandwich. The person who served me took the time to answer all my questions & give me recommendations. The food was exceptional, even at midnight it was so fresh & flavourful. I even wanted to go back there the next day after a night out but they were closed at 2am haha! In summary, don't hesitate if you should go eat there, GO FOR IT. I would go back any time. Thank you so much for the food & the nice service

Amazing Turkish food so far in Montreal, so tasty, fresh fluffy bread baked in place, like a homemade food not industrial! Congrats to you & your culinary skills!!!😋😋😋😋
