I recently had the pleasure of dining at Avesta, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely fantastic, with rich flavors and authentic Turkish dishes that left me wanting more. The live performances added so much energy and charm to the evening, perfectly complementing the vibrant atmosphere. On top of that, the service was amazing—attentive, friendly, and ensured everything was perfect. Avesta is a must-visit for anyone looking for incredible food and a memorable dining experience!

Walking in the whole restaurant was empty and not reserved, but we were guided to the smallest table where we didn't wanna sit. The food came, and it tasted hideous. We took a few bites and left it. Other than that, the woman making bread in front of us was good!

Simple, tasty, and small cozy restaurant that serves authentic Turkish dishes. We ordered: beef Gözleme, Sadj Lamb, Avesta salad and the best of the best, Manti. All super fresh and served very quickly. We ended the night with an authentic Turkish tea. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

This is one of my favourite Turkish restaurants! The food is always delicious and the service is excellent. Çok sevdim 😍

September 17, 2024

Never coming again! First of all the staff are beyond unprofessional, we walked in the waiters didn’t take our orders or approach us, one was just chilling at the cash and the other was sitting and eating at the table, secondly as we proceeded to order the girl was not very familiar with the menu when we asked her, and we ended up getting lahm macoun with yogurt and cheese burek, and ended it up with baclava and tea. As someone from Turkey, the food is very lacking, and seemed cold and not freshly prepared, the flavor was not there too, we didn’t enjoy them at all, tasted like it was prepared a week ago then microwaved before serving. The baclava was the worst I ever had in my whole life, soggy AF, very watery which is exactly the opposite of how turkish baclava should be, was soaking in sugar syrup and tasted nothing like real baclava, just tasted like dough soaked in water and sugar. ‼️Another really unpleasant thing we witnessed is how the staff was eating everything of the food they served us which further turned us of ❌❌ Not to mention paying over 50$ for literally 2 pieces of pastries and 4 tiny pieces of baclava which is extremely overpriced especially that the quality and flavor wasn’t there Do better Avesta 👎👎👎

Food was good but not enough meat on their main courses. You only get one kafta kebab when your order a plate. Also turkish food usually comes with Bulgar wheat not rice with chick peas. Overall very good but at this price point you need to give clients for meat. Thank you!

I Uber ordered. The food was way below expectations. All the reviews were raving about the Manti. It was really a very boring dish, just yogurt and dumplings. Nothing worth $28! I would not pay $10 for it. The rest of the food was also very average and overpriced for the value. Would not recommend.

Great place for those looking for grilled meat and chicken. I went there with family, everyone loved the food because it was well prepared and delicious. (kofte.. chicken skewer.. filet mignon) The waitress (Khadija) was very smiling and She helped us choose good dishes and offered us free tea. The place is well maintained and organized. We highly recommend to those who wish to eat Turkish cuisine

If you re familiar with Turkish cuisine and have a strong craving for it, it s best to avoid this place because they serve a modified version of Turkish food. I ordered an iskender which is my favorite and I barely recognized the dish when it was served. The meat was thick and firm, there s salad next to it which has no business being there, no grilled tomato and chili, and no trace of butter. Dare I say that it s the worst iskender I had so far. It s much more disappointing because the waiter told us that their chef is Turkish. Aside from that, this place is quite overpriced and you re definitely not getting your money s worth. Great location, ambiance, and okay servers but the food missed the mark big time. Take some time to see the reviews from Turkish people who have been here.

First visit. I am completely won over. I ate the Mati, a type of traditional beef ravioli with yogurt sauce. Bread made to order and Turkish tea. I add this address to my loop. Thank you Khadija 11/10 for the impeccable and friendly service.

September 23, 2024

I am disappointed with my experience The food wasnt really good The grilled food had no taste Plus the price was very expensive. Especially for the portions were very very small There was only bourgoul and salad and only a few pieces of meat For 4 people we pay $170 And honestly we only ate the side dishes Very little meat So to advise against There are many other better Turkish restaurants

September 23, 2024

VERY BAD MANTI!! NOT WORTH IT AT ALL!! Order 2 portions of this hoping they were good. Unfortunately you will be paying 60$ for flavourless chewing gum. No meat filling, just yogurt and oil.

The atmosphere is pretty ok, the place looks good and its in a very convenient location so cant complain about that. The service was good, considering it was late so they were most likely tired but it was quite nice and okay. Smiley, Joyful, good vibes all around. Now for the food though...Let me tell you this is not what I was expecting. The meat was dry and the Bulgur was honestly really bad. There was way too much Yougourt in the Manti and the meat dumpling was just such an odd food.

Keep up the good quality and service

July 23, 2024

After two years, I came back to this Turkish restaurant. We ordered Iskender kebab, a meze platter, and garlic yogurt. First of all, they brought something else instead of garlic yogurt. Secondly, the quality of Iskender kebab has significantly decreased, and anyone making Iskender kebab at home for the first time would surely make it tastier than this. It really can t be called authentic Turkish anymore. The food was truly tasteless.

I went to this restaurant today to introduce Turkish pancakes to my cousin and her family. The pancakes were good, the konafe too. But we didnt like the service. The smile was absent from the waitress throughout the meal. Its like shes forced to be there. It really didnt deserve a tip and I regret leaving one. On the other hand, the woman who prepared the pancakes was smiling. She is the one who deserved the tip (for her work and for her smile

If youre looking for an authentic turkish experience, Avesta is the best in Montreal. They even started live music on certain days and theyre adding vegetarian menu options.

First time in this restaurant that we noticed last weekend by pure chance. In the window, we saw a lady who was preparing pita or other type of bread and thats what piqued our curiosity. Brief ; we entered it. The atmosphere is peaceful and warm. Cleanliness, nothing to complain about, Pleasant service with a smile, But what about the dishes we ordered.....It was a real delight full of flavors that awakens your taste buds and takes you to another authentic culture. Honestly, I would have had another second time of each dish and especially their dessert. In my opinion, the AVESTA deserves to be Known......it is worth the detour and to enter. Congratulations to the staff and its chef because we will come back to enjoy more of your excellent dishes. Vegetarian options: Some dishes are on the menu. Kid-friendliness: High chair for children.

They have delicious Turkish food in downtown. Specially their Lambs. Only negative impression is that sometimes their Revani is 3-4 days old and dry. I would recommend not to sell it when it is old.

First time and it was wonderful. I had the spinach and feta grilled sandwich made in front of establishment with salad. Portions were huge and brought half of meal home. The Turkish tea provided for free was delicious. Loved the whole experience and employees are lovely. Noted that other clients were also asking for take out containers since portions are substantial. Cant wait to return. Thank you,

Very nice place, warm, superb tablecloths, decorative objects reminiscent of Turkey. Courteous service. Mezzes: very good vine leaves with tasty yogurt, humus ok, ordinary mouhamara. Well marinated meat kebab, tasty and delicious bread, however, accompaniments (red cabbage salad with parsley, rice and vegetables) bland and without any aroma, disappointing for this type of cuisine which is usually so fragrant. The worst being the really bad rice. Lahmacun ok nothing more, again here, lack of taste. A place that is still unique in Montreal and would benefit from growing but which is worth the detour for its unique character. A lady makes mantis (stuffed pasta) by hand at the front of the restaurant. We will come back for the sandwiches which seem very popular.

We got the Tavuk kebab with the rice and beyti kebab. The beyti kebab was very good. A solid 4.5/5. The tavuk kebab were decent too, but could have been better, 3.5/5. The thing that let us down was the service and the ambiance. Needs massive improvement on the front. The kunafa at the end was a 3/5 too. Not too bad not too good. One more thing that needs to be added is potatoes (fries) to the menu.

The food was very poor, inauthentic, and completely overpriced. The service was inexperienced and unfriendly. Not worth your Buck, I feel that owner should take these bad reviews as lessons and to improve & if they remain stubbornly close minded well, collectively we ll make sure these kind of restaurants remain out of reach. Food is poor quality the bread is not even fresh & cold, the kafta poor quality even Amir or basha is beter quality. and the vybe ? well we were almost the only costumers Volume speaks for itself.

Not very good service. Say you have beef and lamb skewers and serve you ground meat. Make us seem like people who dont understand anything just to avoid saying that they dont have skewers and charge you $29 for a dish with nothing.... frankly disappointed. The manager was still understanding but the serious one got angry as if he had been insulted.... in short, an amateur restaurant and not a professional one.

Went here with my family for my birthday recently but I go with my friends every once in a while as well. The food is so good and the service is great as well. Whenever I go we order a mezzes combo to share before the main meal and we all always enjoy it. Tried the kunefe for dessert as well for the first time and it was so delicious! It goes really well with the Turkish tea they serve. It can be a bit expensive, but I definitely recommend this place!

Definitely a hole in the wall thats more than worth your time. The decor was unique and there were little pieces to look at if you take the time to notice. Prices were reasonable; youll spend $20-25 for a main, but the dishes are so full that its really all you need. The presentation of each dish was well designed and the food was well seasoned and authentic. A great place to come with friends and chat while trying something new. We didnt feel rushed at all to hangout after we finished our plates. The only downside is the service is very hands off. Be prepared to advocate for yourself if you need something. Vegetarian options: They had many vegetarian options! You just have to read the descriptions to determine which you can eat. Menu is in French and English.

Very disappointed with the quality of the meat it is rotten the color of the meat is black Very disappointed, too expensive for what it is, its good nothing more The service is lousy, no one welcomes you and they talk to you badly. The chairs are not comfortable and the kitchen is really dirty and not hygienic. Its a restaurant in the city center with very high prices. Well, the minimum is to have new and clean furniture... I dont recommend it and never

I absolutely love Avesta s homey atmosphere. It somehow takes me to Turkey :) Their food is always fresh and super delicious. Lots of variety too. Their hummus mezze, bourek, lentil soup, etc or the gozleme, manti and other dishes are really good! I strongly recommend Avesta

The meals were pretty good. But the price performance was not good at all. It got pretty expensive. No appetizers came to the table. The some of employees are very kind ( not at all) but since it is defined as a Turkish Restaurant, at least one person should be able to welcome in Turkish. The gozleme were pretty good. so is manti. lahmacun was above average. The shank was very tasty. But there was no salad and appetizer bread on the table. I gave a good score because Im supporting hard workers effort. But they have many improving part.

I love Turkish cuisine. However, The food served here wasnt really authentic

December 23, 2023

Restaurant well located, regarding the quality of the cuisine it is worth no more than 1 star bland food knowing Turkish cuisine it is shameful to serve dishes like this (no seasonings, salads served without sauce) despite the order of 3 different dishes the 3 were bland without taste. Avoid if you want to eat real Turkish cuisine. Last point paying more than 100 dollars for that is theft no plates finished

Not a real turkish food i dident like the food dont go there

December 23, 2023

If I could give zero stars, I definitely would. As a Turk, I was ashamed of the service they provided and the food they offered. The food was not tasty at all, especially the künefe was terrible. Except for the foreign girl there, everyone looked unhappy towards all customers. I warn you, this is definitely not Turkish hospitality. I advise you not to go to this restaurant.

This restaurant checks all the boxes. With beautiful decor, excellent service and delicious food, it is a must try in downtown Montreal. As you walk into this charming spot, the warm atmosphere surrounds you. With a large selection of mezzes and amazing traditional meals, you won t be disappointed by the quality, presentation and taste of the food. Make sure to look at the back page for images of the popular dishes! Our waitress was really helpful with all our questions, and was so friendly. Will definitely be coming back to try more things. Vegetarian options: Although it is quite a meat heavy cuisine, there are still vegetarian and vegan options. The combo of mezzes is a good option, as well as the gozlemes or the vegetarian sandwich!

I ve been coming here since I was a student at Concordia about 10 years ago. I love coming here since the food is so homey and full of flavour. I always order the manti and the funefe dessert. This time we also got some mezzes that consisted of dolma, borek and muhamara. They were good but not the best I ve had. They just had a customer for life. I would keep coming back for more.

Came here in 2018 and in 2023 and its the same amazing quality. Highly recommend their fresh Manti it was full of flavor and a great portion. The ambiance and vibe is very nice for a dinner. Their Sarma and Koz Patlican is very delicious as apps and their Lahmacun also tastes amazing. Lots of flavors and options in their menu for a good price. I also recommend their Kunefe as well it is the best dessert! Overall its a great play to eat for a date, with friends, and with family with lots of options and flavor. Vegetarian options: I liked that their Sarma has a vegetarian option

Very good food Trukish food, nice enough decore. Middle of the road restaurant. We tried several items and all were excellent. The highligh is certainly the trukish calzone style cheese or spinach, fresh on a hot iron dome, right at the front of the place. Service is friendly, but could be a bit more on point. Overall a great experience.
