Turkish Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“This food tasted off the charts!! Some even better than in Turkey (hard to believe, but true) and most of their ingredients imported from Turkey, including the mint garnish. Amazing, friendly service!! Highly recommend this restaurant! We looking forward to returning with friends and family! 😋🥂💖🍻“

“I wanted to make my friends at school taste Turkish doner and I found this shop by chance. We ate doner together and it was really delicious. The owner was very friendly and hospitable. We will definitely come back again. I definitely recommend this place“

“Nice place and service. Stumbled upon it coz another one was closed. No regrets. My friend's first time trying Turkish food. There was a big birthday party happening and they kindly shared some cake with us also. All food and desserts are home-made. Highly recommend.“

“Friendly greeting at door coupled with good customer service at table.“

“We’ve ordered from Shawarma Istanbul twice in the last week. Both times the mixed shawarma has been delicious. Delivery has been quick and it is amazing value for money. Two thumbs up.“

“Authentic and incredibly delicious Turkish cuisine — the meal includes appetizers (delicious spreads with homemade bread) and tea at the end (perfect digestive). The skewers were the most delicious I've had in Toronto, and the Alinazik was also mouthwatering (a combination of lamb and baba ghanoush). The service was beyond friendly, and there are nice sitting spaces outside, great on a summer evening! I definitely recommend this place, and I will be back again.“

“We dined here on the weekend and it was amazing. The food and service was spot on. When asked what brought me in, I explained it was the smell every time I drove by. If you’re in the area and smell the Kebab House give it a try!“

“We stopped for a tea, coffee and afternoon dessert. We enjoyed an affogato, Turkish tea, a latte, baklava and a slice of tresleches cake. All were excellently prepared and service was fantastic. The space will well decorated and inviting.

Vegetarian options: Many dishes were vegetarian and they offered many non dairy milks for drinks.“

“One of the rare Turkish diners for golzleme. That's part of Turkish village breakfast menu but these guys have it and make it right. The rest of breakfast is complete, breads fresh, and a good spread. I go there all the time.“

“Arabesque is something special—a rare and welcoming heartbeat in a city that’s lost much of its spirit. The falafel is hands down the best in town, and the price makes it almost feel like a secret. The limited hours only underline the care and quality that go into every dish. When it’s open, you’re lucky to be there.“

“The food was great and authentic. It was different from what I'd tried before. Also, the cook was really nice. I ordered Baghali polo with Lamb Shank and my gf ordered Fesenjoon and Saffron Rice. It was definitely so filling and had lots of flavor. I was surprised to finish my plate lol...it was a lot of food and even gave us extra food in the end for free. very generous“

“Not only super friendly staff but great food and atmosphere as well! Our visit to this restaurant was not planned at all so it was all a big and pleasant surprise!!! The welcome was very warm and familial for real, not fake like most places in Toronto these days, the food was very tasty and well presented! I’m glad we still have places like this in the city!! Thank you everyone at Flame Food+Design! You are doing a great job there!!!“

“The menu is diverse, featuring perfectly seasoned döner, delicious pide, and mouthwatering desserts like baklava. The food is always fresh, portions are generous, and the flavors are authentic. The cozy atmosphere, paired with friendly and attentive service, makes it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Highly recommended!“

“For the last decade this has been my favourite brunch place… never fails to deliver the same delicious food hip atmosphere and excellent service.“

“Excellent host. Authentic Anatolian food. Meet Turks.“

“Had such an amazing experience today. Food and coffees amazing. But the standout performance was to the staff, in particular the two Irish girls Kate and Sinead, they were amazing so friendly, attentive and really gave the cafe an authentic Irish vibe. Highlight of my trip! Would recommend to all! 💘“

“If you're looking for quality and quantity when it comes to Chaplee kebab then you must visit this outlet. They serve authentic Pakistani style chaplee kebab in huge portions. The lady at the reception is so friendly and her suggestions won't disappoint you. However their biryani is as great as an authentic Karachi biryani, but okay. Portion size for most of their dishes is great. Pricing is a bit on the higher side. Ambience is family friendly.“

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

“We recently hosted a post wedding brunch for a number of out of towners, and we were in a bit of a last minute pinch to find a venue that would accommodate a group of 18 outdoors at one long table, and with a reservation that was not time limited. Sana came to the rescue, and provided the space, excellent attentive service, and even better TurcoPersian apps to start off our brunch.Truly, all the food was excellent, and we were able to send off our newlyweds in style from this lovely eatery. And the food got the seal of approval from the many Persian guests we were hosting! So do consider this restaurant for group parties, in addition to small table dining. Personally, I look forward to returning and trying the extensive Middle Eastern menu soon! Thank you Sana and team!“
