Probably one of the best Turkish Restaurants in town!! I ordered the beef kebab it was top notch. The servers were super friendly, warm and the service was really good. Will come again!!
Despite the immaculate cleanliness and ambiance of the Turkish restaurant, my takeout experience left something to be desired. While the establishment itself was beautifully done, the chicken dish I ordered was disappointingly dry. It's possible that its popularity might have led to it being prepared in advance, resulting in a loss of moisture. Overall, while the restaurant's atmosphere was inviting, the quality of the food fell short of expectations.
After enjoying a spa afternoon with friends, we went next door to this Turkish restaurant. If you order coffee, they serve in a diamond-like decorated cup that you have never seen in Toronto. Just that is an experience worth exploring. Friendly first of all, but even better is the food. We ordered dishes that you can share so we tried different flavours. It tastes delicious and it seemed healthy to me. I would come back. Sharing some pics.
We came here because of the good food reviews. Initially hesitant because of all the water comments, but figured we’d just buy a coke. Super glad we came. Our waiter warmly greeted us and we took our seat. After bringing us our menus we ask for his recommendations. We decided to go with the popular meat platter for two. Bread and dips were brought fast. Which was great. We were starving. My husband asked for a glass of water, which was promptly brought over (see pics). The meat platter was prepared and brought out quickly. So many choices. Lots of different meats to try, all resting on white rice and beautifully seasoned bulgur. We left with desserts, fresh made that day and will be back. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Staff is friendly and very traditional. Meat is good, shish kebab beef is perfect! Meal for 2 won’t hurt your wallet too much and keep you satisfied. You will come again for sure.
Fast service 20-25 minutes pickup, fresh and delicious food 😋 I give it 3.5 stars 🌟 as I do lots of food critics of my food. To get more starts I have higher expectations in everything😅 I really like their platers for 2/4/6 as it has mix of different meat with rich, delicious flavours 😋 priced well than individual plates. Desserts is always a plus when it come to Turkish food. The rating is based on Covid time and hopefully when I go back for a dine in! Will update my reviews may be they earn more stars who knows 😉. I totally recommend to give it a try and send a feedback as well!
I stopped in for some take out. I was pleasantly surprised to see they grilled on real charcoal. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasty. The staff was cool to deal with and had some great suggestions for the turkish pizza to try. The dining room is nice and casual. I will definitely be making this place a regular stop.
We could always smell the delicious aroma's coming from this place whenever we drove by that intersection. We finally decided to try it out. It was a really nice experience. Great tasting food with large serving sizes. Meats are seasoned and cooked very well. Service is friendly and quick. There were 10 of us on our last visit for lunch. We were served promptly and everyone enjoyed and loved their meal.
sooo good
Nice customer service Nice Wrap Food
Really delicious wrap and lamb chops.
Perfection every time
We absolutely loved it!
Best kebab place Ive been to! Just delish!
The servers were very friendly and the food was top notch!
Service is good and the food is very yummy hammy and staff is rarely kind and helpful for kids and also give Lolypop and gummy is halal
Good balanced taste and friendly service
Iskender was bad. Spices used were different than used in the real Turkish döner. Lahmacun was broken into pieces and cold. No lemon, parsley and onions were delivered with lahmacun. I ordered from this restaurant again and this time food was great. I realized that actually the delivery was bad. So, I am changing my review to 5 stars.
Veysel us the best best and very attentive... great food overall....
Great Food
Delicious. 5 Stars!!
cozy place to eat. They give free salad, two different sauces with bread. Food is amazing. We had the platter for two, couldn t finish it even though we were fasting. Highly recommended.
Best Turkish food in GTA .. best service friendly staff , clean , large portions and great price . Highly recommend this restaurant.
Best best best Turkish food. The place needs some improvement in managing the business but their food is amazing. And the pricing is totally justifiable. I hope they dont change anything. Its rare to find a restaurant that checks as many boxes as this one.
I didnt go to this place.
My go to place for turkish food! Seriously never disappointed and their food is delicious. Finally tried two of their desserts yesterday the Kunefe and Sultac which is like a rice pudding. I was in awe of the flavour. As a middle eastern whos tried kunafa at multiple other establishments, this has to be one of the best Ive ever had
The food was ok. The rice was bland. Plain rice rice was substituted for the season rice, without telling us they were out of seasoned rice. Only after we asked did they admit they were out of seasoned rice. We asked for water and were told they dont like to wash glasses, so we can only buy bottled water. This is a dine-in restaurant, so it is poor form to not serve water.
Walked in to delicious smelling food. Was greeted by a kind man. They leave the menus out for you to see. We ordered the Adana kebab and haty kagit kebab. Both very delicious and generous portions.
Best Turkish food !
Sweet spot. The portions are very good, I took a large order for take out and it was a hit a home. Both chicken and beef were very tasty and felt homemade. Solid babaganush, even the pita was great, a bit thinner than what i had tried in other places, very fresh as well.
Greate food and staff.
They have the best turkish food in gta. Best part is that they give u enough quantity unlike other restaurants where u barely get full.
Rude employees
I like black tea and great service I strongly recommend with good price I love Turkish restaurant
Need to add another washroom. Also washroom wasnt that clean.
Amazing food, great portions, and fast service. This place is really a hidden gem for foodies. I wish there was an option for 10 stars.
The platters are very good to order. I felt that its generally best to order and eat in instead of delivery. The food is fresh and I have never been disappointed.
We ordered Lahmacun, we paid 45 dollars for two, they only put two slices of tomato on it, DISGRACE..
Loved the food, the vibes , the experience!
Good food and great service
Great food

Amazing food and superb service
Food
Smelly meat over priced rude staff and line cooks. Pls do not go there even mc donalds will be better trust me
Portions are much bigger than back in turkey and much more delicious. But I cannot say anything positive about desserts. I recommend not to get any desserts after your meal.
Good food, friendly staffs
It was bassin
Best Turkish food I ever tried, the portions are big. The best plate to order is Adana Kebab that if going alone. Theres an option of ordering +2 mix plate. (Menu is from previous months)
Really nice place with delicious Turkish food. It made me remind my holiday in Istanbul.
My experience was great , The workers Abdullah and Yousuff were so friendly and polite and the foods were so delicious! Thanks again
Very delicious charcoal grilled meat, juicy and tender and exquisite cuisine. Service was excellent and on point. I recommend.

Really tasty chicken salad. Found my kebab taste back from the UK.
It was a perfect experience in here!
The best Turkish food hands down! Don t bother going anywhere else.
Amazing food as always!
We came for dinner with my wife for the first time. We ordered Beyti kebab and beef sish kebab, both were really good. Normally, I dont like or eat spicy food. We ordered spicy paste as an appetizer, but it tasted very good. A complete Turkish Cuisine, thank you to the master who prepared it
Very good
Delicious food .Thank you.
Had the pide, it was good.
I ordered Iskandarani plate and it was very tasty.
Great food, great quantity and quality I rate it 5/5.
It was excellent! We felt the smell even while we were parking the car!
The service is not good, even our simple requests were not fulfilled, the food is very expensive and does not deserve the price.
It doesnt even deserve one star, its the worst place Ive ever seen in my life, I would never recommend it Change your name, Istanbul is not a restaurant worthy of its name, do not go if your money is valuable
Best Turkish food ever
Delicious food, highly recommended!!
I love the place and the people are so friendly
It was delicious, very good experience, the service was excellent they suggest a very complete meal for two. I would come back for sure
We LOVE this place!!!!!
Always the Best and most delicious foods and friendly service, this place is my reason to go Toronto area

Great service and food!
Food is soo good. People working there are friendly & smiling always Food
Best Turkish food ever. Food tastes amazing. Service is awesome. Great place!
Everything is so good in this restaurant. I am Persian but I prefer going to Turkish restaurant to have lamb kebab as they serve good meat. Their deserts are delicious. I recommend to try it at least once in your life.
Excelent service! Food is so delicious !
We got the mix platter for 2 very big portion! I think it is even enough for 3-4 people. The meats are well seasoned and juicy. Thumps up
Best food ever in Toronto
Great restaurant
Top 3 turkish restaurants in the city. I love coming here with my family, it reminds us of our trip to turkey.
Interesting location, however the place was filled with flies and ice is not available during summer
very bad place and dirty indifferent rude person never come .!!!
This place doesnt even deserve a star. I ordered a pide and basically it was plain ground beef with no seasoning. It was the worst pide Ive eaten in my life. They didnt even bother serving a side dish that normally comes with a pide. The waitress also took the wrong order and started arguing with me in front of my guest when I politely told her that thats not what I ordered. I will not be returning to this place.
The food is amazing and very clean place Parking: Free parking Food : 5/5 |
Loved the food! Definitely coming back. Best turkish in north York!
Great food.
Always nice service and good food love it .
They always send incomplete and wrong orders.
The service was awful and the cups and plates were dirty. I ordered eskander Kabab and wasn t fresh and the quality was weak. I don t recommend this restaurant.
Freshly made, got a half chicken and half cheese pide , it was crunchy and oozy lacked some salt and spice but hit my cheese cravings. Also got the adnana kebab with bulgur well spiced meat and bulgur. Would come back for that and its very nice that we get complimentary fresh salad, yogurt mint and spicy pepper sauce.
Awesome
Very good
Amazing food, quality and great service. This place is a family favorite
Our family has been coming here from 2017 and the food is consistently delicious.
Amazing foood a must visit place
100% halal. Very juicy kabob. Loved my meal
The greenery was dirty, the ground was constantly on my teeth, it was not pleasant
Great food! Will come back again :)
Very nice food and good service
The best Turkish place , the best food ever so far .
One of the best turkish restaurants in Canada. PLATTERS for 4 or 6 or 10 people are amazing for events, parties or if your going out with a large group I love eating there . Food is so fresh 10/10
Mashallah what an amazing restaurant!!! Their food was truly the best !!! Keep up the hard work !
Always good
One of Best Turkish Restaurants in Toronto.I love their lahmacun turkish pizza.very tasty and good quality.their sweet die for it.I couldn t get enough I order extra for home.Thank you guys for good food and best service.see you soon.
I would dine here a lot more frequently but I don t out of principle. Not offering tap water is absolutely silly both from cost perspective but also sustainability reasons. Great food but this type of business practice is rare for a good reason in the city. Edit: Gave it another shot and bringing this down to a 1 star. Asking for a medium rare steak and getting the attached pic instead is well leave it to you to judge. Prices have gone up again and portion sizes reduced.
Great mixed wraps. Be brave, Load em up, you wont be disappointed.
Nice places , you need try everything, and after you know how this taste
When somebody asks a glass of water please don t even try to sell a bottle water. The server was trying to give me a bottle water even tho I repeated myself twice to have a glass of water. She kept insisting that they don t have either a tap water or glasses. How can it be possible?
It s a hole in a wall but it has great service and great menu selection at affordable price. They have this Arabic tea that will change your life. I has meat eater for two when I went there and it has everything.
Amazing on every level!
Food
It s too expensive
Twice I came and just got wraps to go, but both times the ingredients, the meats, the flavor is so good. Great portion size. Hope to come and spend some time with some more people and explore the menu.
The food and atmosphere was really good . The food was fresh . The portions was really good . The salad was really good too . The flavour of the food was really good .
Everything was plentiful and tasty. The only unfortunate thing was that the air conditioner was down, that s not the fault of the restaurant. We will go there again in a heartbeat. Selma and Bill.
I never feel guilty when I come here!
I tried the shish wrap. Great portion size for the wrap but their was so much sauce put in the wrap that it over powered the taste of meat. Usually restaurants do that because their food is bad, but these guys dont even need any sauce, so no idea why they over do it. The meat is great. Next time i would ask the guys to not put any sauce in the wrap. I had it dripping all over the place only by the force of the bite onto the wrap.
Pretty friendly people with tasty food
Very delicious food! I think its the best Turkish restaurant in Toronto. Food
I ordered the beef shish kebab, it was served with bread and salad. Everything tasted fresh, the beef was juicy. And rice goes perfectly with the beef. At first i was hesitant because i thought i was a little pricey, but it was worth it. The staffs are also nice. The place was also clean and well maintained
Food is great! Will definitely come back!
Nasty, couldnt even finish my meal. Ran for the door.
Delicious Turkish specialties. The beef and lamb are quite tender. The shawarma is also delicious
Best Istanbul is the best! Pide are great and so are the mix platters for a bigger gathering, taste never disappoints! Although they can improve their seating arrangements a bit, but everything else is worth the long drive!
Good food and priced very well.
Tasty meat dishes. Portion sizes are generous.
Nice guys
There wraps are one of the best I have ever had, and the serving is well worth the price. Staff are amazing and very friendly. They truly make you feel welcome. I now go once a week.
Shame on us, we trusted and ordered via Uber, you filled the wrap with all the garbage meat you could find. shame on you
Worst experience past two orders, one they got it wrong even thought I repeated and explained what I wanted. Latest I asked for one of the pizzas I was very familiar with and had bought many many times before but did not taste or looked the same and I could barely eat it I think it was my last time at this place. Waste of money.
We went with my friends. The service is very poor. There is zero interest and no smiling face. It is one of the last restaurants you can go to when it comes to Turkish food. It will not be among our choices in the future.
There was too much food for what I didnt ask for. And great price
First time and it was amazing ! For sure I ll come back
Kunafa could have used more cheese and could be less sweet.Uber driver didnt ring my door bell even after I had clearly stated in the Uber delivery instructions.
Got food poisoning from the iskender. BEWARE.
Excellent all around! First visit and wont be the last! The beef donair plate with the garlic sauce was delicious. Service was top notch!
Nice Turkish restaurant where you can find authentic Turkish food. Its generally not very crowded and the staff are friendly.
First time went to Best Istanbul Restaurant, the Manu option was excellent. I ordered beef shawarma wraps to go it was delicious and juicy. Mehmet took the order he was kind and looks clean great job Mehmet!!
One of the biggest portions I got for 12.99, great flavor and quick service
The best beef shawarma in Toronto
While the restaurant may not boast a sophisticated atmosphere, if you re here for the food, you re in for a delightful experience. The culinary offerings are sure to impress and satisfy your taste buds.
