I've been to Saray Restaurant twice now… once for dinner & once for brunch… & both times felt like stepping into a slower, more intentional way of eating.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is very calm… soft Turkish music playing in the background, a spacious room, & these beautiful, intricate details everywhere. Even the plateware & tea sets caught my attention. I'm not even kidding… it made me want to buy all my homeware in Turkey.
It also feels like a close-knit place. The employees move like a family… comfortable, warm, & genuinely welcoming.
Both times I went with my friend Farzy, who invited me to help her film some content. I'm a hand model & a huge foodie, so we always end up mixing a little work & a lot of eating.
The first time, we ordered the Sultan dinner to share… & it's a full table experience. Adana, chicken wings, beef cubes, chicken skewers… served with rice, bulgur, golden potatoes, salad, & their house sauce.
The potato wedges were perfectly cooked & seasoned… crispy on the outside, soft inside. The side salads were fresh & flavorful, which balanced everything really well. & honestly… I couldn't even pick a favorite meat. I loved them all.
It's the kind of meal where you slowly realize you're full… & yet you're still reaching for another bite because it's just that good 😭 I might have had to unbutton my pants at the table… don't judge.
What stood out to me most though was the feeling of the evening. Turkish tea on the table, warm food, & no pressure to rush. Tina, our waitress, was so kind & attentive… it made everything feel easy & taken care of.
We ended with homemade künefe… warm, sweet, slightly indulgent, & the perfect way to close the night.
The second time we went back for brunch… & that's when I really started noticing the intention behind everything.
We had the Turkish breakfast, which comes as a full spread meant to share. Eggs, cheeses, sausages, breads, spreads… but what made it special were the small details.
The olives are imported from Turkey, & they even grill the green ones… which I didn't expect but loved so much I finished them all & didn't leave any for Farzy… oops 😅 . The butter is made fresh, the bread is baked fresh, & the jams are homemade… we had two & both were so good. The fresh squeezed orange juice was also a highlight because who doesn't love fresh juice.
Even the honey is locally sourced from Quebec… they drive hours to pick it up.
You can really taste the care in everything. Nothing feels rushed or generic… it feels thoughtful.
If I had to describe Saray, I'd say it's not trying to be trendy… it's rooted in culture, in food, & in slowing down.
It honestly made me even more excited to visit Turkey one day… but for now, this felt like a really comforting introduction.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves high-quality Turkish food & excellent service. I will definitely be coming back!'
As a chef, I enjoyed every single item at this restaurant today, & the quality of the food was excellent. If a Turkish song had been played, it would have definitely enhanced the experience.👌👌👌👌
As a Turk, I can say the taste is truly authentic - not like many other Turkish restaurants. I'm so glad we have you here in Montreal. My Canadian friends were amazed by the food & the service. The staff is incredibly warm & friendly.

First time here & we had a good dining experience.
We did not make a reservation & decided to walk in, at noon on Sunday. The tables were about 90% full & we were lucky, we got assigned to a table in less than 10 minutes.
The restaurant is huge, clean & bright. Two groups of people were celebrating their birthdays while we were there. We spent around 1.5 hours there, including waiting time for the food to arrive.
We ordered'SULTAN designed for 2', though it could be a big set for just two of us. The food was fantastic & I would say I like the good size. The bread that came with the set was very delicious. Meat was cooked very well, tasted very juicy. Enjoyed the huge portion of salad. The golden house potatoes were great too. Everything in the set blended well & I would say, this set was a good option for us.
At the end of our meal, we ordered a dessert'kunefe'. Our first time trying out this & to our surprise, it tasted wonderful. At first, we thought it would be too sweet to our liking, but it wasn't. This dessert definitely made our meal more complete.
For drinks, we went for Turkish tea & coffee. The tea especially, it came with free refill & by having it together with our meal, that was very soothing, & made the whole meal not too heavy for us.
This restaurant has a very good ambience & is beautifully set up. The staff are extremely friendly. Definitely a great place to enjoy a meal / have a gathering / celebrate an event.
One small thing to comment, it would be better if a specific waiter / waitress could be assigned to take care of a specific zone. There were quite a few times during our visit where we needed some assistances, we needed to wait for the staff to come to us. This isn't a big concern, but could be something that makes the whole dining experience even better.
I love this restaurant. It is my favorite turkish restaurant. The food is succulent. The service is great. The quality is top notch. Please don't change.
We had a great first visit to this Turkish restaurant. Although all tables were reserved, the staff kindly found us a spot. They were very attentive, especially when I mentioned my food allergies, everything was handled with care.
The food was fresh, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. Highly recommend it. Just make sure to book in advance!

Been at this restaurant 3x for dinner with family & friends & for breakfast. My friends loved it so much that they returned to celebrate their anniversary with their family. Seriously, I am not bullshitting or exaggerating when I tell you this place is over 5 stars. The food & service is TOP notch. NEVER NEVER A DISAPPOINTMENT EVERYTIME MY FAMILY & I GO. WORTH EVERY PENNY!! Will be going back again & again. Best Turkish restaurant in the east end. AFIYET OLSUN ❤❤
Great place to have a variety of Turkish style plates in a very nice & large setting. The waitresses are very nice & would check up on us every 15 min or so. Pricing is a bit on the high end but there is an abundance of selections to find something that suits every family. Recommended

I had one of the best brunch experiences in Montreal! This place is amazing, & the service was excellent, nothing to complain about. This Turkish restaurant is truly a gem in Montreal!
This is a beautiful dining spot well kept & clean ! They speak English as well & are very welcoming ! The fooooddd was bomb the Turkish breakfast was actually delicious not bland at all had so much flavours it was incredible definitely need to go back
Best Turkish spot in the city ! SERVICE, FOOD, DECOR, everything is TOP, kinda like a full package resto. What I like about it is that you'll find everything in your platter: rice, potatoes & a salad. Unlike other restaurants nowadays where you get only one of those & every other thing is an extra. They also offer tea at the end of your meal :) Keep it up guys !!

I had an amazing dining experience at Saray Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors & generous portions. The kebabs were perfectly grilled, the mezzes were fresh & flavorful, & the baklava was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The service was top-notch-friendly, attentive, & welcoming. The ambiance was warm & inviting, making it a great spot for
both casual meals & special occasions. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for authentic Turkish cuisine. I'll definitely be coming back!
I've been to Saray 3x now & I can confirm it deserves all the hype ! The food is amazing & the staff is very friendly too. Easily became one of my top Turkish spots in Montreal ! I don't have many pics because every time the food comes I devour it so quick. I also recommend their brunch!! 😋😋
