Bienvenue au Saray, Dans l'enceinte chaleureuse de notre restaurant turc, nous vous invitons à un voyage culinaire exquis à travers les saveurs envoûtantes de la Turquie. (Le menu est entièrement halal)
Dans l’ensemble, Saray Restaurant est perçu comme une pépite turque à Montréal, offrant des plats généreux et savoureux, des grillades et mezzés authentiques et une ambiance chaleureuse qui transporte en Turquie; le brunch et le petit-déjeuner turc sont fréquemment salués, tout comme la fraîcheur des ingrédients, les portions généreuses et la présentation soignée. Le cadre est spacieux et propre et le service est généralement chaleureux et attentionné, même s’il arrive que le service soit lent ou l’expérience moins homogène et que la musique soit parfois trop forte; les prix peuvent sembler élevés pour certains, mais la qualité et l’authenticité restent largement appréciées, avec de nombreuses occasions de recommander pour les repas en famille, les anniversaires ou les dîners en amoureux et la nécessité de réserver à l’avance pour profiter au mieux de la carte. Globalement, les critiques mentionnent une expérience riche en saveurs, des plats variés et une atmosphère conviviale qui valent le détour.
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.

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 ❤❤
The highlight of the night, beyond the exceptional food, was the outstanding service we received from three absolute angels: Asal, Kimia, & Samira. From start to finish, they made us feel like royalty. Each of them went above & beyond to ensure we felt welcome & happy.
Asal was an absolute sweetheart. She made perfect recommendations that perfectly matched our tastes. Kimia radiated positivity & charm, always checking in at just the right time to ensure everything was perfect. & Samira ensured that we always had everything we needed. Together, they turned a simple family dinner into a great experience.
As for the food, just wow! Dishes were flavourful, beautifully presented, & cooked to perfection. The bread was hot & fresh, & the kebabs were tender, juicy, & of high quality. Overall, great experience. I recommend Saray.
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 felt like I was in Turkey, even though the food was better quality. There was a beautiful nostalgic feeling, & the brunch was absolutely amazing. We love it so much that we recommend it to so many of our friends & family. In fact, we're going back next week!
Awesome place for family gathering. The food & staff are amazing. Their supreme breakfast is very tasty & delicious with a lot of varieties that are very similar to what I experienced in Türkiye. This restaurant is a must try.
