Overall, Nazar Doner Kebab is widely praised as a go-to for fresh, flavorful Turkish fare with generous portions and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Reviews highlight the doner and kebabs, especially chicken doner and adana kebab, along with satisfying sides and desserts like kunafa, and many note the meals come with complimentary bread and sauces. Several reviewers credit the new management and their family with upgrades to the menu and the ambiance, while describing the staff as friendly and attentive. Consistency in quality, portion size, and value is a common theme, with many saying the food is worth the price and that leftovers are common after sharing platters. A few mentions point to occasional slower service or higher prices for certain items and to choosing dishes that emphasize fresh, well-seasoned meat. The restaurant is often described as family-friendly and unpretentious, with a warm Turkish vibe and music that enhance the experience. In general the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive and many say they will return.
I recently visited this restaurant & I was truly impressed. For me, the most important thing when dining out is hygiene, & this place was exceptionally clean. The restroom was spotless & well organized, & the restaurant itself - including our table - was very clean & tidy.
I had the mixed döner plate, lentil soup, & finished with fresh künefe & Turkish tea. Everything was incredibly delicious & honestly exceeded my expectations.
The restaurant owner was also very attentive. He came to our table, asked if everything was going well, & we had a short, pleasant conversation. He was very kind & genuinely caring toward his guests.
It was a wonderful experience & I would definitely recommend this place.
My brother gave me a $100 gift card, & my wife & I finally used it all up after our fourth visit in just two weeks. The food is absolutely delicious & the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get.
What stands out the most to me is the clean, fresh ingredients. Everything tastes wholesome & well prepared. It's one of the few places where I genuinely leave feeling better than when I arrived.
We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend.

The food was absolutely delicious & full of authentic flavors. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, & the fresh bread was amazing. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, & great service made the experience even better. I'll definitely come back again! Highly recommended. 😋🔥
With my wife, we found this Turkish restaurant, a true Gem 💎 in Laval. The staff welcomed us & gave us a great service. Even provided my baby daughter with coloring book & pen to draw. They also gave my daughter candy lollipop. since we discovered this place during Mother's day, they were offering all women with a red rose flower which was very beautiful & appreciated. Then, we ordered their mix kebab grill with their chicken pide & it was delicious, from their doner to their Adana kebab it was amazing. Their chicken pide is a MUST, you have to try it! Everything is freshly made & cooked! Great taste, great flavour, great price. Inside it is not fancy but you can feel that this is family owned & it is warm & nice. Overall, I highly recommend this place!!!!
Update 14Fen2025: great place, great food, good service. I still highly recommend!!!
Update 08Jan2026: still great food & quality. I have recently ordered few times in January 2026 through Doordash & the service was excellent. Their Chicken Doner is amazing either in plate with bulgur or in sandwich! I also recommend their Cacik Tzatziki sauce, it pairs very well with their chicken doner. I still highly recommend!!!
I'm updating my review from 3 stars to 5 stars. I've visited the restaurant three times over the past year, & everything has become much better.
----------
My visit to Nazar restaurant left me with mixed feelings. The BBQ items were delicious, perfectly cooked & seasoned to perfection. But the shawarma was from the previous day, lacking the freshness I expected( it was heated from fridge, not fresh from the shawarma machine)
The staff were exceptionally friendly & welcoming, which enhanced the dining experience but unfortunately, they made three mistakes that slightly disrupted our meal.
In terms of pricing, I found it reasonable given the portion sizes & quality of the BBQ dishes.
Overall, Nazar restaurant has its strengths with delicious BBQ options & a warm atmosphere created by the friendly staff. However, improvements are needed in ensuring food freshness & order accuracy. Three stars reflect my mixed experience.
We had lunch here on Saturday December 13th after seing a social media post advertising this place. There were lots of seats, mix of booths & tables - we were served promptly & had no issues with food or service.
Our party of 3 tried the mix meat platter, some type of cheese roll appetizer, one of their spinach/cheese pizzas & a beef doner sandwhich. The meal also came with two types of dips & bread, which were delicious. We could tell everything was fresh & made with care. Portions & pricing are very fair.
My only complaint is that the shaved doner meat (beef) which we chose tasted gamey, it had a strong flavor compared to other gyro style meats I've had elsewhere. This almost tasted like lamb despite being described as beef only. I am not a fan of lamb or any strong gamey flavors so beware if you are getting this. I also noticed the kebabs are a mix of lamb. Might be best to stick with chicken if you do not want to risk it.

This was my first time tasting Turkish cuisine & I was truly impressed by this restaurant! The service was excellent & I love how every dish comes with complimentary entrées - ezme, tzatziki, & fresh bread to dip in! I highly recommend it!
I've tried a lot of restaurants, especially Turkish restaurants Montreal. Nothing comes close to this awesome experience.
Not only is the service so nice & friendly. The chefs are the best never seen chefs, so dedicated & loyal to what they're creating every meal is a masterpiece.
If you'd like to taste real donner, made the real way fresh not frozen you need to come here.
The best Lahmajoun.
I could go on & on except you need to have this awesome experience yourself.
I had a great experience at Nazar Doner Kebab! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt so welcoming, especially with the Turkish music playing in the background, it really added to the vibe.
The staff was super friendly, & I was impressed that the manager personally noticed when we were leaving & made sure to say goodbye. Little touches like that go a long way!
I ordered the Lahmajoon & a doner sandwich. Both were a great size-not too small, not too much. The beef was super fresh, & there was plenty of meat, which made each bite delicious, The sauce was just the right amount, tasty, but didn't sit heavy at all.
Overall, great food, great people, & a great vibe. I'll definitely be coming back!
Keep up the good work!
