Turkish Restaurants near Thornhill, ON

“The place was packed, but they tried very efficiently to accommodate. Staff very welcoming, smiling and try to help/please the customer. In particular we were impressed by the service and politeness shown by our Two servers, Hebun & Mete. Of course, one can not taste everything. We ordered a Platter that had combination of Meats, Vegetables, Grain Rice and Bread. Very tasty, enjoyed. They can make the Entrance more Clean and improve the Waiting Area.“

“Absolutely loved this place. Food and service was top notch. Fresh bread, variety of meats and everything tasted amazing. I usually don’t enjoy lamb in Canada, and this is the first time I loved it. Take a look at the photos and videos, I don’t need to say no more.

Kid-friendliness: They provided high chair ☺️“

I would definitely come again for their wraps!“

“Great place for family friendly dining and great food I recommend 100%“

“We haven't tasted such delicious raw meatballs in a long time. We had an excellent time with our group of friends at Mahmood Çiğ köfte. Mr. Mahmood is very polite and kind. We also thank you for the free tea service. We will come again as soon as possible. I recommend it to everyone.“

“Just amazing! 2 weeks in a row I’ve had the chicken doner wrap. It is BIG! So juice and tasty with all the chicken and I’m not one for salad but it tastes so fresh. My new weekly take out for sure. This is a little gem of a place.“

“The place is nice, a decent amount of seating available (booths). Staff was really nice and they confirmed all food allergens for us for when we asked.

The food was really good and they offer free tea at the end of the meal!

Highly recommend.“

“Legit Turkish food. Very friendly and attentive staff. Quiet enough to enjoy cross-table conversation without yelling.“

“Huge meal! Love it! Near perfection. I ordered the spicy adana kebab, and I love every single thing about it. The bread has a great texture, and taste. The kebab is delicious, but could use a little bit more seasoning in my opinion. The tomato rice is delicious. Food is overall 9.5/10.“

“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.“

“8.7/10

This unassuming hole-in-the-wall spot in Greektown delivers on offering a delicious meal, despite its shortcomings due to its ambience.

Food: Ocak basi special. The chicken skewer was immensely juicy and tender, perfectly cooked and flavourful! The adana kebab was well-seasoned but a little salty. Would have preferred more rice as a side.

Service: The waitress who served us was very welcoming and attentive. The food came out hot and in a timely manner, too.

Atmosphere: Could have better ventilation. A few of us were sweating as we were seated close to the cooking station.“

“the food was amazing the service was so fast and the server gave us salad with such a good sauce ? and the food came like 5-6 min later. anyways recommend for families because it’s spacious and the quantity give is huge. we all have leftovers !!“

“I was in the area, driving around super hungry, approaching closing hour for many places and I really didn't want A&W/McD/Popeyes etc. Saw the word Shawarma looked open and yay pulled in here...but they were at end of the day and nothing on the spit. What's a girl who knows virtually nothing about Turkish food options, and without reading glasses to see the menu well, to do? The nice people made me something and off I went with my little hot package, still not quite totally knowing what I had in store. So....yum hello a fluffy and crispy baked flatbread with edges folded over, nicely spiced beef, some cheese...ahah! I just gobbled it down. And now I know what Pide is! And even better have another good place to go when around Downsview.“

“The food is very good, the salad they give as a starter is delicious, the iskender is something phenomenal, the atmosphere is very good, the family atmosphere, the music, the decoration,
Just one observation: they must include the iskender in their delivery menu, they do not have them in the food apps

Parking: It has enough space“

“Best shawarmas and plates! They offer so many toppings that other places charge for. Everything is fresh and delicious.“

“I’m Lebanese so can vouch that this is amazing middle eastern delights“

“Excellent food and selection. I recommend the Lengmen noodles“

“I love this place very friendly environment and all I can say the waitress and waiters are awesome I love all of them and the beat thing here is the food Ooooo my god I wish I could eat all food I order but it's too much and prices are very affordable .
I love listening to to Turkish music a lot
Thanks to Dennis for the service
And the last thing I need to say is that they communicate and treat the customers like a friend“

“Attended this place as a part of wedding party. Great stuff, excellent kitchen, food was outstanding, they have simple bar. Coffee barista knows what he is doing. And their baklava, looks like made in house, is very good, makes you wanto to go back“

“I am Korean Canadian with a pretty normal palate for food. I have become a regular here for the breads and pastry. In particular I love their personal sized pizzas and a tubular pastry that has feta and spinach Burek I think, I forget the name but absolutely the most crispy flaky and delicious breakfast I can have. Seems (pronounce Shems) is the gentlman usually behind the counter who is just the kindest man. They also have raw honey which my kids loved and I just tried the cherry drink. Good stuff especially for my gout. I am a customer for life~“

“The best place for Bahamian food in Canada!!“

“Very nice store with a variety of items and good prices. This has turned to one of my main stores for grocery shopping. Love the “lahmacu” and “simit” pack. They have good olives, cheese and lots of snack options for kids. People who work there are always very welcoming and polite. I’m glad I have this Turkish store, close to my place ?
Will keep shopping there. ?“

“The main reason that I’m writing this review is because of the amazing service I got tonight from Arlene.
Istanbul Cafe has been a go-to spot of mine for years. It’s good to say that as time goes by the service gets better. Tonight we were served by an incredibly nice lady named Arlene. She was very polite and considerate. Even though it was quite late she still welcomed us with care and left a very good impression.“

“Great service! Nice owner. Amazing shawarma!!“

“Highly recommended! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The appetizer we had, a bread dish, was served fresh and steaming, and the dip had great flavor. The main course, a mixed meat platter, was luxurious. As a nice touch, we were given complimentary tea after the meal. The staff were friendly, smiling, and made the experience even more pleasant.“

“I've been hearing about this chicken shawarma pizza for years, and one day, I decided to try it. I called ahead of time before picking it up to save time. When I opened the box, the aroma was unlike anything I had experienced before. This is a must try!“

“The best of the best, attention from Diez, food with great flavor and if the seasoning is not so good, the attention of the managers makes you forget that but highly recommended for those of us who like shawarma. Continue like this, we have always gone with pleasure to enjoy those dishes that they offer there.“

“Mr. Zagros Shawarma is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, delicious shawarma. The meat is tender and flavorful, the pita fresh, and the sauces are the perfect complement. Quick service, friendly staff, and great value make this spot a standout. Every bite transports you straight to the heart of Middle Eastern cuisine. Don't miss out!“

“Love this location at Cityview Clean place , delicious food Very friendly staff My favourite place to dine in & take out“

“Clean atmosphere, top notch quality of food! I ordered their beef wrap & beef sandwich which was served with superb delicious free sides & the chef Ramjan put a lot of beef slices which made the food more mouthwatering. It was my first time there but surely going back again!“

“Schnitzel is amazing“

“I am from Ottawa. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibe. I’ recommend to people who loves 90’s music. Great service.“
