Nazar Doner Kebab serves authentic Turkish fare centered on seasoned meats grilled to a tender, savory finish. The menu relies on fresh vegetables and traditional spices to balance the richness of the signature doner and various kebab platters. Each plate arrives in generous portions alongside bowls of creamy yogurt dips and warm, soft bread that complement the charred flavors of the main dishes. The interior maintains a clean, straightforward layout that provides a clear view of the preparation area where ingredients are assembled daily. Patrons choose from a selection of carefully spiced proteins that emphasize the natural juices and textures of high-quality cuts. The establishment relies on straightforward preparation methods to ensure the bold profiles of Turkish home cooking remain the primary focus of every meal served within the space.
Nazar Doner Kebab is frequently praised for its authentic, delicious Turkish cuisine and generous portion sizes, with many patrons highlighting the freshness of the ingredients and the flavorful grilled meats. The restaurant is widely recognized for its clean, welcoming atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff who contribute significantly to a positive dining experience. While the majority of guests consider it a top-tier destination for kebabs and doner, some reviews mention concerns regarding inconsistent service speeds, occasional order accuracy issues, and price points that are perceived as higher compared to similar establishments. Despite these mixed remarks, the establishment is frequently recommended as a family-friendly spot that offers a warm, cultural experience worth visiting.
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.
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!!!
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.
