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.
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!

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.
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.
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've only tried their doner sandwiches through deliveries, & they're great. The sandwiches are VERY generous, they're absolutely stuffed with tasty meat & your choice of veggies. I've tried the traditional round one, & the wrap, both are very good but I have a preference for their traditional bread they make in house I believe. Try them with garlic & spicy sauce, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes & coban salad. Delicious.
This is hands down the BEST donair in the city: the bread is a specialty baked fresh on the premises, the toppings are typical & tasty... dont miss out! & don't forget to bring your appetite: portions are generous .
Hidden gem, real & tasty turkish food. Sometimes food in Turkey itself may not be as delicious as here. Very generous portions & very very reasonably priced.
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!!!😋😋😋😋
