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 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!“

“Friendly hosts, great croissants and the best lokum (Turkish delight) I've found in Toronto“

“It was my first time trying Doner and let me tell you, it was so good. The beef doner was extremely thinly sliced and had a really delicious nice char to the beef pieces. It came with rice and pickled vegetables as well as salad. Honestly my partner and I shared this plate and it was more than enough food. The fact that it came with all these side plates really made the portions filling.

It's pretty good value for the amount of food you are getting and the doner was cooked very well. It's a great spot in the Danforth area!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been meaning to try this place for a while. I’m a vegetarian, and can’t say no to an affordable falafel wrap. I have seen Arabesque Cafe all over social media, and it didn’t disappoint. The owner stayed open longer for us to pick up our called in order. The order came out as 12 dollars for two falafel wraps, and he threw in baklava. This place is a hidden gem, and deserves everyone’s $$.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at the restaurant shirin kebab house . The food was delicious and very filling. The sides served with the shawarma were really good and added to the overall taste. The service was excellent, with the staff being polite and attentive. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would definitely recommend it to others!“

“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!“
