Had the lamb and the Adana. The lamb was alright, didn't really bring the flavour out enough. The Adana was well seasoned.

I usually don't do reviews but this place deserves it! The atmosphere is so welcoming and cozy, while the food is warm and comforting. The meats aren't dry, the falafel is one of the best I've ever had, and the bread is so soft and delicious. The service is also amazing, they're really kind and charismatic! Especially Latif, you're awesome! This place fed me a lot during my university year! I highly recommend to others!!!

The guy in the white polo was very professional. We’re looking for a halal restaurant. Food was awesome too.

Best Turkish I've ever had! The combo came with some AMAZING sesame bread, can't wait to have it again. The salad was alright but I loved the kebab and the fries were also perfect! The upstairs got a bit smokey but otherwise loved this place!

00000 total 0 rude and disrespectful for human rights law on service animals. The owner answered to my review and obviously it is a very mysoginic aggressive person that 1st does not care about law And that I showed a letter that my dogs are service dogs and that I informed the receptionist that according to thd human rights commission he is committing tge offence 2nd As I use a walker, Not a baby cart (what is that?) I cannot stand which is extremely rude towards me as an officially disabled older person( it seems that mistreating disabled is not rude according to this rude restaurant policy I was asked to pay and leave outside despite that I said I needed to sit as I cannot stand in one place I did not intend to eat but to order and leave as I did before ( I was at that restaurant last year a couple of times and there was no issue) 3rd I felt sick to my stomach when the attendant wanted me to pay but expected me to be degraded by him ( this is absolute degradation) The reply just confirmed everything is wrong with this place and they are extremely inhumane and if they cared about their business they would be nice to the clients. Ps ; there was only one man eating at the restaurant at the time and he did not say anything about being bothered by my dogs. Again, this was disrespectful towards me as a person with disability. I can only say Shame on you as you disrespected me and Canadian law and you further abused me by your reply which will be given to the authorities. I wish that you stop disrespecting the Canadian law and human rights law. Leave me alone and stay away from replying to me and degrading me as I will report you. In Canada we have right to express ourselves freely and we have right to be protected from being abused by mysoginists like you. I will report you to the police if you continue to slander me. I gave to the attendant the document about my service dogs and he refused to accept it. Stop discrimination against persons like me as you are in Canada and Canada is a place with charter of rights and freedoms and Quebec as well. Educate yourselves about the laws . IT IS A LIE THAT MY DOGS WERE JUMPING- THEY WERE ON MY WALKER WHICH is a mobility aid not a baby cart - can you notice a difference ? (I HAVE METAL SCREWS IN MY ANKLES AND AM OFFICIALLY DISABLED) THE OWNER NEEDS TO CHECK HIS MORAL VALUES AS IT SEEMS HIS MORAL COMPAS IS OFF as he was not there and is presenting a distorted view of the event. He seems to ENJOY ATTACKING ridiculing AND DISRESPECTING AN OLDER, DISABLED WOMAN... In my opinion, this is trait of a toxic person. I asked to speak to the owner but the attendant said he is not there so how can the owner reply as he even was not there ? My dog is for my protection and he barked once to warn me of danger! My other dog is the breed that is known not to bark . My dogs are very clean , vaccinated and had their service dog harnesses as per human rights law.

Restaurant response
Madame, we kindly explained you what we will prepare your food and asked if you would mind waiting outside with your two dogs in the walker/baby stroller. However, you insisted on remaining inside with them and dining in the restaurant. We want to be clear that we love animals, but as a restaurant and public space, we must follow hygiene standards and consider the comfort of all our customers. How you can expect to dine inside a restaurant while Bringing two dogs inside—especially while they were jumping and barking as well ? Are you serious ? It shows lack of consideration for other customers , also shows how rude and selfish you are and on top you did not stop but to leave us a review saying we are rude ? Do you even know whats the meaning of being rude ??? You clearly do not know the meaning of being rude otherwise you would have understood that how rude and disrespectful it is to eat inside a restaurant among other customers with 2 jumping and barking dogs .. At the end, all your other reviews are complaining and 1 star so nothing to be surprised .. Again No one disrespected or abused you at all on contrary you are abusing us . The fact you are older woman You were treated very respectfully, and the concern was raised in a very polite and extremely appropriate manner however your should respect your age as well cause self respect starts from ourselves it does not mean you mis use your age to abuse businesses around for no good reasons and expect them to write you back a a good response. If you criticize others for no good reason then please be ready as well for critisim in return . In Canada, the right to freedom of expression applies to everyone. That includes me. I also have the right to respond and defend myself to something which is not fair. You are free to take this matter to any authority police - PM Mark Carney - Ex PM Justin Trudeu -Italian or any other Mafia whoever - please choose whoever you would like to choose.. However, I stand by my actions that inside store you were requested very nicely and politely - making drama out of it , simply does not suit your age. My sincere apologies

Honestly, the quality here surprised me. The meat was seasoned perfectly and those red onions actually tasted fresh. The bread was easily the best part though toasted just right on the outside but still soft enough to soak up all the juices. Definitely has that authentic feel.

bread is nice and fluffy made in-house, the sandwich is okay, their spicy sauce is on the very mild end. Service is good.
