How often do you get to dine at a restaurant right next to a gas station?! It's quite bizarre to me but inside the restaurant was quite pretty. Friendly and fast service. Their naan/bread and hummus was the star of the show for me and I'm not even a fan of hummus. They kept giving us refills without having to wave them down. I was almost full by the time the main dish came! What I ordered: - Hors d'oeuvre Plate (Appetizers Mix): 20/10 I would come back just for this alone - Lamb Chops: was a bit pricey for 4 lamb chops but it was tender - Bingol Mix Kebab: massive portions and had a little bit of everything - Turkish Yogurt: took awhile to get used to the taste...would pass on this next time read more

Right beside the esso gas station, this place serves an amazing array of Turkish food! Great place to go for dinner, for birthday celebrations, or even if you need something healthy. Lots of good protein of lamb, chicken and beef, and their cold baklava is to die for! Very nice family friendly restaurant, but be ready to spend a lot of money on the food! read more

It is a strange location ( next to an gas station). However it is a beautiful setting inside for dine in. Good food. Great customer service. For the price food portion size was ok. They don't have tap water. You have to purchase water bottle. read more

Visited last night. I'd been here before and the food was delicious. This time I didn't really get to the food. I'd ordered my selection, and I would have preferred a beer to accompany my meal, but they don't serve beer. OK, fine, I'll simply have water. When the waitress started bringing the included appetizers, she brought a glass, and a plastic bottle of water. "I didn't order that" I said. "You ordered water" she replied. "Yeah, tap water." "We don't serve tap water." I was getting upset. The prices at this restaurant are not cheap (typical meat dish is around $37). And here they are wanting to chisel me for more more money? I considered taking the glass to the washroom and filling it with tap water, but decided against that. I've come to expect water and refills from my wait person. I thought: I'm being ridiculous. I should just enjoy the meal. I started eating the bread and appetizers. But, no, it was really bothering me. I put some money on the table ($10 in change. I didn't have small bills.), got up and told the waitress I was leaving. She asked me to wait while she told her chef about this. He was sitting at a table near the door, doing something with his phone. She explained to him I was leaving. I added that it was because of the water, that it was a "slap in the face"; and walked out the door. He barely looked up from his phone. I'm sorry I left so much. They've lost a customer. I'm never returning there. They didn't even offer glass bottles of water. The plastic is single use, so it fills the landfills. And there are health concerns with microplastics. Insane. When I told my wife about the no tap water thing, she said "I hope you didn't stay!" Which was a relief because I thought maybe I'd overreacted. What do you think? Update: read other one-star reviews, and several other people have been offended by the no tap water policy. Also, poor and rude service. Should also mention that with the restaurant located at a busy intersection, and next to a gas station, with a "patio", the ambiance is pretty awful. read more

Koz Bingol - Appetizers, that I lightly grazed before leaving the restaurant in a huff because they refused to serve me tap water. Read my review. - Turkish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The warmth and politeness of the staff in this Turkish restaurant added a pleasant touch to our dining experience. To start, they served us salad and cucumber yogurt with food plus freshly baked bread. Also, we had the pistachio rolls which are perfect for their creamy Turkish coffee! I recommend getting the Bingol Mix Kebab, you will taste some of their famous meat in this platter! The lamb chops are my personal favourite!

Food: 4/5 Great portions and very well balanced flavors. Love the ezme here, which is a little sweeter than I'm used to but so so refreshing and paired well with everything. The beyti was good but nothing extraordinary and had a smaller portion than the rest of the dishes. If you like a light creamy flavor then the beyti and yogurt kebab might be a good choice for you, but I personally found it nothing special. Personal favorites were by far the Antayka kebab and the Lamb Shish. For the savoury food lovers out there, these are for you! Came with a bit of everything and overall well seasoned and delicious. Dessert: baklava was exactly what you would expect from a Turkish restaurant. Nothing extraordinary but always a great finish to the meal! Cold baklava was my personal favorite. Overall taste was fantastic and mostly great portions for the price (roughly 30$ per dish) Service: 5/5 very fast and friendly service. We were served by multiple people who were all so kind and efficient. It was never hard to ask for something as there were always people running around. Fantastic team! Atmosphere: 3/5 plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Cute spot overall but definitely very warm and humid during the summer. It would've been nice to have better ventilation or AC. read more

It was an amazing experience, few points i should highlight: 1) better to have reservation in advance, unfortunately they won't accept reservation for two people but to prevent waiting in queue for more than two people do the reservation. 2) The food's portions are huge and one food is suitable for two people already read more

Good ambiance. Nice decor with some little details on their stone oven and flooring. Food is actually delicious , even for someone who tried Turkish food for the first time. Servers were very friendly and know their menu well. My taste bud like the food. The food portion may look light, but don't be fooled by the picture. I left with full stomach and satisfaction. We actually ordered chicken Shish and grilled meatball. But missed the photo for grilled meatball. In sum, both dishes are good. They are both full of flavour but still makes your refreshing after eating. Appetizers are also a must try. Overall, I recommand the restaurant. read more

Koz Bingol - Turkish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food quality and service is very good, BUT the owner is not shearing the Tips with employees, We as a family used to go at least once a week for dinner also I work with a company of 175 employees very close to this restaurant that most of them they enjoyed the food at Koz Bingol and they used to go to dine in or take out also take their family for dinner regularly, but as soon as they fund out their tips are not going to employees they stooped going there or stooped tipping, To me it's not fair to employee and it's cheating the customer as their price is high enough for owner to make good profit, "PLEASE DON'T TIP NEXT TIME YOU GO THERE" read more

I thought the food was excellent, and the portions were large. The service was very good, the only problem I had was even with reservations, I was told when I came in that I was only allowed to stay for one hour. I didn't think that was proper. The food is excellent read more

We went there for the first time, the space was so tight, the waiter got our order late. I ordered coke for myself and water for my husband, they didn't bring us the beverage. Food was good quality. They didn't take the plates till we wanted the bill. In the bill, they calculated the beverage!!! I mentioned we didn't have them already so they had to change the bill without saying sorry I didn't give them tip. And I don't think I will go there again. It was expensive for that service. read more

Koz Bingol - Lamb shish with Bulgur pilaf - Turkish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The food is not bad, but the service is simply terrible. We went with friends for lunch and decided to start with tea and dessert, which wasn't cheap by the way. We were denied because according to restaurant rules, you can't order dessert unless you have ordered the main course first. Really? New restaurant rules in Toronto. After ordering the main course, the waiter became rude. It's amazing how this business hasn't closed yet. I do not advise anyone to come to this restaurant and I will not return myself. The restaurant was opened in Canada, the service was brought from Turkey. read more

We decided to introduce our kids visiting from the states for Turkish food. We sat down outside patio, and made our orders. My daughter asked for tap water. The waiter told us that their policy was to only sell bottles water. My son-in-law asked if he cold grab his water bottle from the car and use that at the table. The waiter said that was fine. My daughter asked for cups and he brought them. My daughter than took the glasses, went to their bathroom and filled the glasses. The waiter came over and told us off. He was surly, telling us it was corporate policy and we could leave. He started lying to us saying the water in the bathroom was undrinkable. My wife responded by asking him if they cook with that water. I smiled at hm and said, come on, this is Toronto and all tap water is drinkable. Basically he suggested we leave and he won't charge us for the food already delivered to our table. He was obviously upset that my daughter outsmarted him. It was his tone that he used with us. The way he talked down to my daughter that made it easy to leave. As it turned he was the manager. It's too bad. He lost us as customers and we will repeat this story, probably for years. It's too bad my wife and I used to go there a lot. read more

I can't say much about the service situation as others have commented, but the food itself seemed pretty decent. The doner was flavorful enough to enjoy without any sauce, and the side salad tasted pretty fresh. The pita/naan did have specks of charcoal (?), but it's hard to find a place that doesn't have them. read more

My family comes once or twice a week here. We are addicted. And have our friends coming regularly too. Yogurt and kebab dishes are fabulous. Mountain salad is amazing. So many unique combinations of flavours. When I was on Keto I also liked their Donner salad. And the Mountain Salad is just so wow... pomegranate, crushed walnuts, diced tomato and diced cucumber- splendid. Appetizers are great -- many meals come with yogurt, bread, spicy tomato, salad plates. The value is amazing. Ambience is amazing. Solid wood tables from Turkey. First glass of Turkish tea complimentary. Love this place. Seating is often very fast even when busy. They do their best. It's always bustling lately. read more

I was very unhappy because I made a reservation in advance and we stood for 20 minutes waiting because it turns out they couldn't find my name and barely found my phone number. and what made me angry and I was very surprised after we ate and sat drinking tea with sweets, we were asked to vacate the table and gave us 5 minutes, I've been living in Canada for 12 years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I'm very disappointed. Çok mutsuzdum çünkü önceden rezervasyon yaptırmıştım ve 20 dakika bekledik çünkü meğerse adımı bulamamışlar, telefon numaramı da zar zor bulmuşlar. ve beni sinirlendiren ve tatlılarla birlikte yemek yiyip oturup çay içtikten sonra çok şaşırdığım şey, masayı boşaltmamız istendi ve bize 5 dakika süre verildi, 12 yıldır Kanada'da yaşıyorum ve bu ilk kez oluyor. bana oldu. Çok hayal kırıklığına uğradım. read more

One great thing about Canada... you drive down the road and you're in Turkey! Even though I had a language barrier... the servers went above and beyond. Food was great! read more

Food was not very tasty and quite overpriced, service was horrible, ambience was terrible with lots of screaming children, the staff was rude. The restaurant wasn't very clean either, from our table to the dishes and utensils. Plenty of reasons to stay away from this place. read more

I liked this place, we used to come here with my family whenever have been in Toronto, but last Wednesday when we went, the women waitress were not so friendly, looked at us like we came to eat for free. no one great us, even I said hello myself. the food we ordered was so fresh. the meat was smelling bad , my husband got sick after eating. the time we got to hotel stated vomit. very disappointed. the place was very crowded. very disappointed. they should train their employees to be more welcoming. and they should pay attention to the quality of their food. the service need to be improved. read more

I ordered a sampler pide. I was never a fan of pide since my past experience is just average. But their pide really amazes me. The sampler has three distinct sections of topping: cheese, ground meat and diced steak with veggies. The cheese topping has a mild milky taste and is neither gooey or tough. The ground meat and steaks both have great savoury taste. The bread has just the right amount of gluten that avoids being too chewy or too fluffy. read more

Went there with my wife and cousin. Service is really bad. They were very busy and there does not seem to be a process of creating a waitlist for customers who come in. Once we got a table and we ordered our food they did not bring us our ordered appetiser. My wife's main dish came fairly quickly which we believe was for another table. My cousin got his enteee 20 minutes later and mine came another 10 minutes after that. Waiter never came by asking how anything was or if we needed anything else. Then we must have waited at least another half hour after we finished eating to get the waiters attention to get our bill. Also, the owner was yelling and arguing with employees which was not very professional . The food was fine but won't go back read more

Horrible racist service from the waiters here. Poor discriminating services on the whole. Good appetizers. Over-rated food and noisy dusty environment. Next to a busy intersection and just side by side to the gas station . Will never recommend this restaurant to anyone else read more

If I could give this less than one star I would! Went there yesterday for lunch-I figured I'd try something a bit different. menu looked ok-they had two different meats rotating on skewers-one appeared to be Gyro-which they call Donner-the other resembeled chicken. I asked the wairess if in fact it was chicken (just making sure) SHE DIDN 'T KNOW!! she said she had to check-she asked two other waiters then went on to serve another customer without getting back to me-just left me hanging-I called over a waiter who was passing I asked the same question-SAME ANSWER -he said-I don't know and walked away--I got my coat and left--you should train your staff a bit better-waste of my time-went to SABABBA down the road and had a great lunch and did a bit of shopping-there won't bew a next time at Koz Bingol for me !!!! read more

Visited this restaurant several weeks ago. While we were puzzled by the fact that they seem to be the only restaurant in this city that doesn't serve tap water, only bottled water, the food and presentation were good as was the decor of the restaurant. I have been trying to make a reservation for several days. The website says "contact us" and gives a phone number and email address. The phone is not picked up, there is no voice mail capability, and finally one is disconnected. I wrote an email which was not answered. I tried to call again this morning and there was the same endless ringing with no response on their end. I don't know how they can maintain their business with such poor customer care. read more

if you are not a fan of terrible rude, dismissive service you better stay away... the female waitress is only nice to turkish customers... never expected to be paying money so I could get humiliated and ignored as a customer. honestly if you have an issue with Canadians and non-Turkish cultures why are you here.. more importantly why is this resturant hiring people like this and subjecting their customers to such a terrible experience read more
