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.
J'ai commande un plat mixte boeuf & poulet. Il y avait une caissiere & une cuisinière, pas de client a 12:45 pm. Donc pas de rush pour preparer la nourriture. Malheureusement le poulet & le boeuf étaient déjà préalablement coupés & mis dans un contenant. On m'a assuré que ca vient d'être coupé & c'est chaud... tout était tiède & malheureusement sans aucun goût...
The new staff at this restaurant have been quite awkward & unprofessional. I've been a regular for the past two years, & the previous staff was always friendly, polite, & provided excellent service. Unfortunately, none of the previous staff is still there, & the new front desk lady was particularly unfriendly & unresponsive. Also the service was not good at all, no plate we received & we got the fork & knife was given us on the napkins. That was even worse, after asking for the pizza box to take out my food. she threw it on the counter. It was a very disappointing experience.
I would never go again.
Their mixed meat sandwich is really good. Bread is light fresh & delicious & meat tastes fresh. A good sandwich at a good price. Very generous portions. I usually take the sandwich to go & warm at my house. An ipa & a good Netflix show goes well with this sandwich a weeknight when too tired to cook.

Service catastrophique, qualité des produits s est beaucoup détérioré , sauce dans aucun goût & viande pas bonne du tout.
Je suis très déçue car c'était un de mes meilleurs sandwichs à Montréal
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.
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
