FOOD: 5/5Delicious and tasty food that's priced at a reasonable level. The menu offers a plethora of choices in terms of lamb, chicken, and beef. You can't go wrong with any of them.SERVICE: 3/5While the server was very nice and courteous, the service on the patio was virtually non-existent. I was expecting the server to come by 5 min after I had started eating to ask if everything was ok. A server is supposed to check up on every customer 3-5 min after serving the food to make sure that a customer is satisfied with everything or requires anything. This never happened and it was disappointing.Bottom line: The food was amazing but the service was sub-par. I would expect the staff to be more attentive to people dining out on the patio.

Great food and very satisfied with the portion and service! Since it's a halal restaurant I didn't choose vegetarian option and ordered a meatball wrap (pictured). I believe the meat is lamb. Portioning was decent and the meat was seasoned beautifully. My friend ordered a chicken plate and it was pretty big, considering the price we didn't expect to get a quite a nice portion of meat.

Had lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. Reminded me of food ive had in Istanbul and Ankara..the beef doner was probably the best but everything was pretty amazing and the price for the 2 person and 4 person combo was very reasonable.We even ordered extra to take home for later :) also service was Good. We will be back for sure !

Very flavourful food! We had the assorted dips platter and mixed donor wrap. Everything tasted amazing, and we want to come back to try other delicacies on the menu!

Got served up possibly the best Turkish food. Ive had many Turkish meals from restaurants in the GTA and in Turkey, and this really one up’s all of them in terms of flavour.Really nice place to dine in. Located on an amazing and lively neighbourhood.The server was amazing and very kind.I recommend it for all!9.5/10 (docked points for dirty cup and not having certain menu items.)

Really great experience with middle eastern cuisine. Service was good although there were heavy rush.I really loved the food. Their kebabs are cooked to perfection. I would Love to visit again.

The kebab is the best I’ve had in Canada, We ordered the 2 meters long shish kebab, but it wasn’t really 2 meters (meat does shrink once it’s on the grill but not that much) and the skewer it was on was very thick so there wasn’t much meat.Although it was very delicious, it wasn’t filling at all and not a good value, I would recommend just getting the individual plates instead.Service was good, everything else was mediocre

I have not had much Turkish food but if this restaurant is anything to go by, I’ve been missing out on some amazing cuisine! Went in for a late dinner and the place was busy but the staff still gave us personal attention and made us feel very welcome. All the kabobs were grilled over a traditional charcoal grill - and I even watched cook it from fresh meat right there! The portions are very generous and the free tea at the end makes the meal complete! I look forward to coming back again soon.

I highly recommend this place. The place's ambience, service, food, and food value are all excellent!Our group of 2 people ordered 2 dishes for what we thought was food serving size good for 2 individuals. It was a welcome surprise that they were actually very generous with their portions. We did not end up finishing the meal and had lots of food to take away. The 2 dishes of Saç Sautéed Vegetables ($13.99) and Mixed Döner ($16.99) would have even been enough for 3 people.I would also highly rate the dish Saç Sautéed Vegetables which I greatly enjoyed. The Mixed Döner was also equally good, which was what I was already expecting. It has a good mix of everything to sample: Chicken, Beef, Rice, and Salad.The place was busy during the Saturday night we ate here. There were lots of diners present. Our server was also very nice everytime she attended to us.The only negative thing I can comment on is that we always had to wait long to call anyone's attention. We had to wait a while to motion and have someone look our way when we were ready to order and when we were ready to pay the bill.

Relatively new restaurant that opened in late 2021, authentic and welcoming atmosphere! The best Turkish food I have had in Canada, so far. Would love to visit again once the pandemic resurrections are lifted and dine-in is allowed!
