Great place for Turkish food…read more We came here in a weekday morning for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by just how much food was available. We were all provided with complimentary bread and tea, and ordered the mix kebab platter for two, and the authentic Turkish village breakfast platter for two. The meal was phenomenal, and the spread was generous. The breakfast included an assortment of different sides & dips such as, olives, cheese, salads, butter, honey, jams, tahini, etc. we dipped it with the pide, bread, fries, roll borek. It even had a lovely sujuk with eggs. The mix kebab had lamb, chicken, wings, meatballs, doner, with rice, bread and salad. We had to grab some take out boxes at the end, as the meal was wonderfully filling.

This is a meal that I've been thinking about since last night... but not really in an ideal way…read more Yes, it was good, but mainly because of how shockingly expensive it was. I'm conflicted because the food and service were great so I can't be complain about any of that. I came with 2 friends and we wanted a variety so we settled on the mix grill platter. The menu options only offer a 2 and 4 person platter, but our server told us they could make one geared for 3 people so we decided to go with that. It came with a salad and fresh bread to share. The meats were tender and juicy. Everything was really flavourful. I enjoyed the food. The server was also really helpful with answering any questions we had. But the bill came and I was shocked. It came out to $59.99 per person after tax and tip to split the platter 3 ways. Quality was pretty decent but the portioning of it does not justify the price. Next time if I were to return, I'd probably just get my own dish... the platters present that "wow" favour but they're pricey. I get that there's quite a bit of protein but there are other things I'd rather get for that hefty price tag. I don't think it would be fair to leave a lower rating solely due to the value aspect because the food was yummy and all other factors such as environment and service were satisfactory... but for me the value weighs heavy in my priorities and I feel the cost of the platter is too high, as good as it is.

Stopped by Bereket Kebab House for Father's Day. The interior is really cozy and spacious. I really…read morelove the design of the place. It makes it very welcoming to both couples and big parties alike. The service was decent. Although we lost our server for awhile, she was usually around. Thank you to Buket for her diligent work. For the food, we had the Bereket Special Mix for 4 - and no, it's not for four people. More like 4-6 people for sure as I split this with a 5 person family. It had everything: beef gyro, chicken skewers, lamb skewers, lamb chops, veggie Urfa Kebab, Adana Kebab, Chicken Adana Kebab, bulgur, rice, onion rings, beef samosa, veggie spring rolls, and slice Lahmacun (found all these on their website) and yeah its worth it! Generous portions and even had enough to take home for another round. Overall - a great visit for an important family day! Would recommend to stop by and try!

Can't believe this place is tucked away by Morningside and Kingston. Not only is the interior…read morebright and inviting, the food is so, so flavourful. Not just the way the food is spiced but that charcoal taste comes through as well. You'd think maybe something like the service would be comprised but no, they're on point as well. We were served by Buket who made sure we were all good and was so pleasant. No doubt coming back after a gym session

The staff are very friendly and helpful and the restaurant was packed with customers enjoying their food and drinks. They have a full bar offering great options for cocktails, liquor, wine and beer. We tried two of their specials: Sultans Special and Hazelnut White; both tasted great. Every table is offered complimentary freshly baked pit with cold appetizers (hummus, butter and feta cheese). We also ordered Mix Cold Mezze Plate (Beet Mutabbal, Turkish Baba Ganoush, Fatteh). The appetizers wefresh and delicious. For main, we ordered "Fillet Carnival Kebab" and "Saffron Shrimp Kebab". Both veal and chi ken fillets were perfectly marinated and charcoal grilled. The saffron had added a great taste to the grilled shrimp, too. If you're visiting over the weekend, I'd recommend making reservations in advance to guarantee your table.

Came here due to friend's recommendation. Very nice place with upscale ambience…read more Ordered VIP for 2 (great for meat lover!) There are lamb, beef, chicken, wings, some sort of beef 'pastry' (forgot the name). The best is the lamb, least is beef (nth special, I guess). All is tender, but some are juicier than others (NOT dry, but better if it's juicier). The mashed eggplant that comes with it is great to pair with any of the meat. Ordered sutlac for dessert (light and not too sweet). Highly recommended!

Such a great happy hour! A modern looking Middle Eastern restaurant with plenty of seating inside…read moreand some patio seating out front. I ordered a Lemon & Lavender Spritz to start which was super refreshing. We ended up getting a bottle of white wine to share that was also quite good . For food, we shared their Olives & Pickles, Muhammara dip with pita, Warm Halloumi, Crispy Mushrooms, and Lamb Kebab. I loved everything we got. It was all so good, especially the Muhammara. It was creamy and tasted so good. Our server was great too and attentive to our needs. We really enjoyed dining here and definitely hope to come back!

Brunch here was great - a good selection of dishes in a bright airy space with an open kitchen…read more Really loved the vibe here and service was friendly! The brunch dishes were good, especially the dips and the pistachio labneh. Had a weird hiccup at the end with the dessert - it tasted so bad, as if the pastry / mascarpone had been left out and the dish was moldy / expired. We all gagged and they offered to refund half of it at first. We were quite surprised but they eventually refunded the whole thing. Bit of a shame as the dessert looked great but we probably got a bad batch.

Hot tip: we had a lot of leftover meat, so we shoved it in a croissant and added a bit of garlic sauce and it was incredible!

I was fortunate enough to stop in and try their mixed grill, feta cheese pide, lava cake, knaffeh, kefta and chicken kabob platter all of which I highly recommend. Their bread for appetizers was fluffy and rich. Their baklava w/ ice cream was the best we've ever had. The knaffeh had the perfect amount of sweetness and was matched with their traditional Turkish tea. Their service was great. The gentlemen matched our interests with the menu and often checked in to make sure we were ok without being over bearing. The food was absolutely delicious and we were very happy we stopped in. The atmosphere was quiet as we noticed some people sit in but their takeout services are in high demand. Great location, fantastic food, truly a new hidden gem at just 8 mins from Rainbow bridge . The Mississauga location has been raved about for so long. I still have to visit but I am glad they are promoting together online and on IG which is how I found this one so close to home! Thank you!

The decor was very…read morestriking even at first glance, and everything felt authentic - right down to the plates and cutlery. I quite enjoyed the homey, unostentatious vibe here, and combined with comfortable and spacious seating made for a pleasant dining experience. We ordered one of their pides as well as - of course, given their namesake - kebabs. Both were flavourful and delicious although we didn't find the food to be particularly unique. However, the service was wonderful, warm and friendly - the staff checked up on us several times and no one rushed us. Overall, would definitely recommend if you're in the area! Even if the outside seems unassuming, this local spot is a truly beautiful place that's worth a look.

Amazing find a little out of the way but we will definitely be back…read more We were tempted to get the meal for two, but decided to pick some specific dishes which caught our eye instead. We picked out the beet dip appetizer, pomegranate salad, lamb stew and the doniar pide. Everything was absolutely delicious and I really liked all the different flavors and textures. I would order everything again, but there are so many other options on the menu to try!! Lovely service and attentive staff. The decor is predominantly black and gold, which is done is a classy way. Will be back!

This place opened almost a year ago and as a first timer here it was an enjoyable experience…read more Sigara Boregi/Spring Roll Karisik Pide Adana Kebab Beyti Prior to our orders we were welcomed with in-house fresh bread with sampler dips. The pancar ezme is my fave - roasted beetroot cream with herbs and olive oil. The spring roll is so crispy, cheesy but light. For our mains, the mixed pide is packed with different flavours and is perfect for sharing. Adana Kebab and Beyti stands out for me. The adana has a slightly smoky, mild spice on it and very juicy (its so, so good! ), while the Beyti was served on bed of yogurt and tomato sauce was so flavourful. You can tell all the ingredients of the food are so fresh. The friendly service from the staff makes it more welcoming for us. Zilan was very attentive and Manolya was very nice giving details of our orders. Beautiful designed interior, nice plates and lovely cutleries stood out that adds positivity to our overall experience. Friday and saturday nights is their live music nights have to come back and see that one! Situated in Dufferin and Finch area its just right beside Mandarin Restaurant.
