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.
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.
Waiting long time to receive the order , many customer but only one lady was serving all & employees in the back just they were watching her with no help. Food is good & still will go there .
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!

Time of waiting is an appetizer of its own.
The restaurant is a decent place with decent people handling decent food in a decent manner accompanied with beautiful smiling faces.
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
This is an awesome Turkish restaurant, in fact it might be the best one adjacent to downtown & I've now tried all of the Turkish restaurants on the lower side of the city. Very flavorful meat. The platter came with both bulgur & rice so it was very filling. A generous serving of salad too. The portion to price ratio here is truly righteous.
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
