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.
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
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

We had an amazing experience at Mont Istanbul! We asked for the Iskender kebab, which wasn't on the menu yet, & the chef kindly prepared it for us, it was one of the best I've ever had. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. Can't wait to see this dish added to the menu. Highly recommended!
Excellent établissement de restauration rapide, avec une petite terrasse ombragée pour apprécier la douceur de l'été. La nourriture est très bonne, je recommande le sandwich au poulet dont le pain est vraiment délicieux. L'accueil a été vraiment agréable grâce à Sarah & Jamila. Bref je recommande.

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 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!
Definitely the best döner kebab in Montreal!! The meat was perfectly cooked & seasoned, & the homemade bread made it as authentic as possible, just like in Turkiye. I took the meat döner sandwich which was very filling , I definitely recommend it! The staff was friendly & attentive, & they made sure that I had everything I needed. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a delicious & authentic döner kebab. It is definitely the best I've ever had in Montreal! Must go!
Sur tout les restos turques que nous avons fait,c'était le meilleur.La viande goûte incroyablement bon,les serveuses sont gentilles & le repas était super bon.Je recommande à 100%.
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
