“Tuba is a wonderful chef whose delicious food brought back warm memories of my trip to Turkey decades ago. Tuba came to our house last year to teach a group of friends and I how to make an array of classic Turkish dishes. It was a fun night with shared stories of food and other adventures. I highly recommend asking her to cater for you, or dive right in and ask her to come and show you how it’s done!“
“I love this restaurant and I feel lucky that it’s in my neighbourhood. The food is sophisticated and pretty and the staff are genuine and kind. When we want to treat ourselves or take out a friend or family member, we know it will always be delicious. A rare find!“
“Always spectacular. I thought I'd reviewed before, but it's worth noting as this has become one of our favourite spots in the city. The owner is an absolute gem of a man, and the price can't be beat! Thank you for feeding our community. ?“
“Consistently excellent food, warm hospitality, and attentive service make Galata Cafe our family's favourite spot. With a welcoming ambiance and top-notch cleanliness, it's a place we always look forward to visiting. Highly recommended!“
“Had the Delicious Doner sandwich. The gentleman who served me was very friendly and made the sandwich to exactly how I liked it. Meat is charred on a hot plate before serving (always a winner for me).Lots of veggies and sauces make it awesome as well.Only thing that would make it better is the sandwich bread is toasted (instead of just heated in the microwave) before serving.Also gave complimentary spring rolls!“
“Pretty decent Pides compared to ones I tried in Toronto. I ordered pear and Gorgonzola. I had my doubts but I was surprised how good it is. Service was nice too.2nd visit didn’t disappoint. Love thanksVegetarian options: Pear ? and Gorgonzola“
“Thank you to all the wonderful staff especially Can for making our evening so delightful. The food was outstanding the service was exceptional and the atmosphere is unmatched. A truly special Turkish experience.Thank you!! Everyone should definitely pop by this spot #adsologist“
“Great atmosphere and exceptional service! We attended a dinner event with a large party and were impressed by the staff's willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate us. The food was truly delicious, and the house-made Ayran drink was particularly outstanding. While I enjoyed several dishes, the iskandar kebab stood out as my favorite. However, the appetizers were only average, and there is room for improvement in that area.“
“Must try Pizza Pide. Extremely delicious.The adds on the side (sauce, fresh parsley, onions and hot pickles) elevate the taste. Huge variety to choose from and some options for vegetarian.Parking: Plenty of parking at Gerard square across the street.“
“We were looking for a breakfast place to pass the time while a family member had a medical procedure, and decided to try something beyond the usual breakfast chains that are all around now. So glad we stumbled on this small cafe, on the lower level of the Atriums.As we’d started our day quite early we were looking for something substantial, and the Turkish breakfast fit the bill. It is meant to serve two, and came with two simits (similar to a bagel), a dish of menemen (scrambled egg in a tomato/pepper/onion sauce, with sausage), and a platter of spreads and toppings. We subbed coffee for the included tea.It was our first time having Turkish breakfast so I don’t have a baseline to compare it to, but we enjoyed it quite a bit. The simits were fresh and the variety of toppings really made this meal.There is limited dine-in space, but most folks were just grabbing coffee and pastry to go, so that wasn’t a problem. I saw a review from a few months ago noting that it was quite dark—perhaps they have improved the lighting since, because it was plenty bright on our visit.We took a few pastries to go for later in the day. The pear and almond tart was a favourite, and the chocolate-walnut cookie was delicious too. The almond croissant was tasty but not the best I’ve had. Do note, if it is a concern for you, that most of the pastries contain nuts, and they are all in a shared bakery case. This was not an issue for our party but someone with a nut allergy might not find much here they could sample.The lunch sandwich menu sounded amazing, and if we’re in the area again we would return midday to try that!“
“Amazing quality food for a great price!Our favorite. Everything is delicious. We normally get the beef Doner wrap and they do it with their fresh in-house bread, and The beef is soo tender and tasty we can’t get enough. The Mediterranean salad is top notch too. We always make a point to visit when we are in the area. The complimentary tea is a Turkish tradition and a chef’s kiss“
“For those who like tasty food, good tea and coffee, as well as a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of Istanbul, this is definitely the right place.The drink menu for the morning and afternoon is very complete, in addition to having many sweet and savory options. Right at the entrance you can drink water that is courtesy of the house, as in all places in CanadaService is direct at the cashier and you take your order to the table yourself. The atmosphere is very pleasant, quiet and welcoming with good service.Unfortunately, they do not have accessibility for people with physical disabilities, such as users of wheelchairs and walkers, and they do not have a menu in Braille.For those with children, unfortunately they do not have high chairs.The cafe is close to the Eglinton metro station, the bus terminal and several shops.Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately, they do not have accessibility for people with physical disabilities, such as users of wheelchairs and walkers, and they do not have a menu in Braille.“
“After seeing from the street that they had ice cream, we stopped in. But it turned out to be way more than a dessert shop. We had unique coffees and other Turkish drinks and confections. Our waitresses, Elif, was friendly and explained different foods to us. The next day our friends that we visited with suggested breakfast at Mado. Elif was there and suggested an amazing breakfast spread which didn’t disappoint. We’ll definitely be back!“
“Food was good and staff was very friendly and helpful. The abaganoush was fantastic! Turkish liqueur not so much unless you like strong licorice flavour. Ali Nazik was great if you enjoy eggplant and yogurt. If you have kids then they do have a hamburger which my son loved and he is usually a picky eater. Live band was late due to weather but the vibe was great when they started. It does get very loud however when they are playing.“
“I had the pleasure of dining at Senso recently and it was an unforgettable experience! The service was impeccable and the food was mouth-wateringly delicious. I'd give this restaurant a five star rating without hesitation. Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable night out!“
“What an amazing surprise. This place has authentic Turkish food, the staff were incredibly kind, and the food was amazing. The menu may be small, but anything you order will be fantastic. Do not overlook this hidden gem if you are looking to have some delicious Kofte Kebab, meats, rice, and breads. Definitely returning for more!“
“Loved the food and friendly staff. One big difference with any other restaurant was the service. They were really fast and from taking order to serving it's not more than 5-10 minutes. All dishes come with lentils soup and also food comes really hot. We always enjoy their Baklava as desert!Dietary restrictions: It is halal“
“Amazing place, beautiful location, absolutely delicious food and drinks, wonderful friendly staff. Never change. Highly recommended for anyone nearby.Kid-friendliness: Kid was friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Everything is wheelchair accessible“
