Chef Istanbul, one of the go to places if you're a student here at Concordia University. Great Service, amazing food. I recommend the lamb sandwich. Shout out Jordano Preteroti.

You can tell a lot about a place by how it treats its bread. Here, it’s made in-house, soft, fresh, and clearly not an afterthought. You want to keep tearing into it, especially with the lentil soup, which is simple, warming, and done right. The spicy shawarma sandwich is solid and satisfying, with just the right amount of heat and no gimmicks. Nothing tastes pre-made or rushed. It feels like a kitchen that actually cooks its food instead of assembling it. They offered us a delicious tea, which we loved. And being right next to Concordia University, they offer students 25% off—a genuine way of giving back to the community that supported them. No theatrics. Just good food, made properly, by people who care.

I ordered the mixed BBQ platter with beef and chicken kebabs, which came with bread and a selection of salads. Normally, I worry that kebabs like these can turn out dry, but both the beef and chicken were juicy and well-cooked. The beef was tender and not chewy, which was a plus. That said, while the meal was decent, I felt it could have used a bit more seasoning, the flavors were solid but lacked that extra punch to make it truly memorable. Overall, it’s a good meal, but not necessarily a must-try when there are many other places offering similar cuisine. Service was quick and place is decently clean.

They served me a free traditional lentil soup after my hard working day for completely free without even asking them. The man at the cashier is very kind, one time it was almost going to close and one of their cooks gave me his own dinner kebab because he couldn’t cook anymore. This is really an amazing place to eat in the meat is delicious 10/10

By far the best Turkish food in Montreal, their variety of meats and their exceptional labneh is exquisite. Quality is always top tier and their service is excellent. Highly recommend!

Really the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in Montreal. Great service and very affordable, the labneh and the chicken are the stars of the sandwich. truly recommend this spot if your looking for a great sandwich and crispy fries.

The place looks nice, but honestly the food doesn’t really match the name Chef Istanbul, It’s not terrible, but if you’ve ever tried real Turkish food, you can feel the difference right away. The taste and quality could be much better it’s missing that authentic Turkish flavor.

I got lamb sandwich and I didn't like the taste. It smelled aubergine like I got the aubergine sandwich.
