Beautiful decor and a quaint respite from the bustle of Yonge street. Fresh, tasty food except for the bread which tasted a bit stale. Attentive service and provided Turkish coffee on the house to try. HUGE menu that felt a bit overwhelming but there's something for everyone. Lots of desserts on display as well. I'll be back ! read more

I do not recommend at all. This place has many inconsistencies. Staff cannot handle large groups, food is below average and served cold and when you raise this they act like it's how it should be. They do not know how to do individual billing but only have one receipts for entire table. Just complete lack of care for their business and overall food quality. I do not recommend! read more

This is a nice cozy Cafe like establishment with meals. We stopped by for Turkish coffee and some sweets. Turkish coffee was delicious. Mixed baklawa and carrots slice baklawa was very delicious as well. Turkish coffee is 6cad+ and baklawas were 9.99+. It is priced mid-range. Staff is kind and professional. It is a clean establishment. It was a pleasant experience. read more

The ice cream man outside selling ice creams gives a WHOLE EXPERIENCE. Fun for kids! The Turkish ice cream is soooo good, it's stringy/stretchy like mochi and melts slower too! Love the original flavour. But if you go into there's other flavours you can sample/order You can even sit inside the restaurant to enjoy your ice cream on a hot day The staff is very nice and friendly Also OMG the Turkish delights are so good! It's a MUST TRY! I always buy some to go. It's priced by weight. Have not tried the savoury food here. read more

I went to Mado with my girlfriends for a weekend brunch, and honestly, it was such a fun experience! If you love authentic Turkish food (or just amazing food in general), you need to check this place out. Their menu has so much to choose from kebabs, fresh salads, mezes, and even their famous Turkish ice cream. Here's what we ordered: Menemen: This is a classic Turkish breakfast dish with eggs, tomatoes, green peppers, and spices, all cooked in olive oil or butter. We added cheese because, why not? It was SO good. Turkish Cilbir Eggs Benedict: Think poached eggs with plain yogurt and spicy butter sauce. Turkish Black Tea & Espresso: The perfect way to end the meal. Everything was so flavorful, and the restaurant itself felt cozy and welcoming The staff were friendly as well. I'm already planning my next visit to try more of their menu! Highly recommend this spot. read more

We went there a few weeks ago for Turkish breakfast. As a Turkish person, I can tell it was horrible. I'd not serve it to my guests at home or wouldn't take any friends there. Luckily I didn't take any foreign friends wondering Turkish breakfast so I saved myself from embarrassment. Horrible service, horrible food (not fresh) and overpriced. Not recommended. read more

We came here on an evening for desserts and were disappointed. I believe the quality and taste of their dessert and their customer service could use a lot of improvements. They have a nice decoration with all the Turkish serving dishes and the staff are friendly, but the desserts we ordered didn't have much of a taste and weren't even fresh. We ordered "Honey Pistachio", "Orange Chocolate Cake" and "San Sebastian Cheesecake" from their cold desserts menu, with Turkish Tea and Latte. When the desserts arrived, we couldn't even cut the "Honey Pistachio" as it was really hard and old. So we asked the staff and they offered to change it. And when the new one arrived, they had warmed it up (although it was a cold dessert) and the honey cream was so soft that had turned into liquid and the whole dessert became smashed. When we requested the bill, they didn't provide us with one and only brought the machine and entered the total bill for us to pay. And when we requested the bill, they said they don't provide paper bills anymore! We were shocked and then they offered to show us the bill on their iPad! It appeared that they charged us extra for changing the dessert, so they removed it and emailed the bill after the payment went through. read more

Very pretty setting and nice atmosphere. The ladies working the counter were nice. I still haven't figured out if the lady offering me help thought I sat down seeking respite from the rain. Anywho. I tried the spinach and cheese pastry that is accompanied by plain greens with oil. I requested sauce. This is the second spinach dish I've had on Toronto where it tastes canned. Gross. I have heard talk of some things not being available. read more

The desserts look great. I tried the milky pudding which was thick and gooey with very little flavor. It was just okay, disappointing, and not good enough to want to get it again. Good service. I'd be curious to try different items. read more

Passed by this place several times so was wondering what kind of place it was. Finally got time to visit with friends, but the experience was so-so. It's a cafe restaurant that serves both bakeries and main dishes. Food was OK. Baklava was yum, crispy on the top and had some sort of paste inside, not a lot of nuts though. My friend had the Cozy Breakfast and she didn't seem to be much impressed. Kunafah looked nice and big portion too. The latte I had was on par. The decor was that mid-century style design, but somehow it felt like this place was not recently opened; the interior design was nice but not well maintained. Lastly, I have to say something about their service. The staff definitely need more training. The young man who hosted us seemed quite confused when we were asking for bill. When a table asked for the bill it meant that they were ready to leave, the young man acknowledged our needs, then turned away and started arranging cups...?? We asked three times and he finally showed up when I told another staff that we'd like to skip out on the bill since we were invisible anyway. A bit of a disappointing dining experience.

I am writing regarding your Dirty Dancing immersive night last night. Myself and friends were so disappointed with what we experienced. Firstly the event started extremely late with staff yelling out orders to put more tables in, to seat the people they had sold tickets too. Such a disorganized mess to start the night. We were seated at a table with other people, which ended up being the best part as we all endured what was to come. It was so packed that every time someone walked by they were bumping all the guests. The food tasted ok but we hardly had any service, not even water, and no dessert was served. Some of us had salad the rest did not. There was a big argument between staff and a performer right behind us where they were yelling about "friends" eating for free. Unbelievable. Then the "show" started. These people didn't even know the words to the songs and were reading off of clipboards. They even said that they "threw this show together in a week" and said that proudly. Not one of them could sing and were all off key. It was a disgrace. We were all totally disgusted by what was happening. People around us were getting up and leaving. The performers only sang for about an hour which was a blessing. And then they were actually asking for tips!!!!! I cannot believe that something like this was sold as a dinner show for over $100 each. Apparently there are a couple more shows coming up which after last night I would say is a complete scam. Such an unprofessional event by all. read more

Very rich Turkish coffee, paired with a delicious pistachio dessert. My friend also ordered an egg breakfast dish, but I forgot the name. It tasted really good as well. The location is great, always has a steady stream of customers. The service is decent. I'm quite interested in coming back next time to try other pistachio desserts. read more

Great experience here! The friendliest service from multiple staff members, and the most delicious breakfast. I had the sales drink to start which is a thick milky walnut drink with cinnamon. For my breakfast, I had the menemen with cheese and it was so good! Had a great flavor and texture and it came with a side of pita like bread. I also got some Turkish delights to go which I can't wait to try! read more

I've passed by this place numerous times after work and wanted to come here in the near future for a lovely meal. On a Saturday afternoon, my boyfriend and I came here to have lunch. I was so excited to finally try its food! We were warmly greeted by a friendly waitress. She brought us water and explained that the menu can be accessed by scanning the QR code. I ordered menemen (Turkish egg scramble) with cheese. He ordered chicken curry with rice. For dessert, we ordered two pieces of pistachio baklava and two scoops of Turkish ice cream (pistachio and milk). Our meal was delicious! I enjoyed the blend of flavours and textures- the soft eggs and eggplants, the gooey cheese, all swimming inside tangy tomato sauce. My boyfriend also enjoyed his meal- he said that the curry was creamy and was full of flavour. The pieces of chicken and mushrooms were cooked just right, they were juicy. We also enjoyed the desserts- the baklava were sweet like maple syrup and each layer with pistachio pieces was joyful to eat. The Turkish ice cream tasted like a very smooth sorbet yet thick like gelato. We had pistachio and milk flavours- they were smooth and tasted like their name. Convenient location, friendly service, delicious food- give it a try! read more

Mado @ Yonge offers a great selection of desserts and snacks alike.

This review is based on a "take out" experience or so to speak. I wanted an ice cream and was asked to wait because the girls at the counter also have to take care of dessert orders from the table. One girl was hearing up a desert in a as pan and also putting ice cream in between a baklava. I was waiting and then another girl didn't check who was next and served someone who came in after me. There was disorganization and confusion- the girls at the counter are overworked and scrambling. Please hire more staff to handle all of the random walk ins that you will get on Yonge street, because you are on Yonge street. The food is only based on one scoop of pistachio ice cream and one baklava- but too me these are standards. both of which I couldn't finish. They were so disappointing. The cone and ice cream tasted old and the baklava was dry... :( I don't know how it can be dry. It is really nice to see all of these Turkish places in the city. I hope to have a better experience next time. read more

Lovely little Turkish nook, we came for their breakfast and we ordered their Cozy breakfast which came with a selection of cheese, dried fruit, veggies, pekmez, a boiled egg and Turkish tea.

Very solid Turkish cafe with amazing desserts and the nicest team. Highly recommend trying a sampling of the baklava (~$24/kg) and a slice of the chocolate mousse cake.

We visited Mado after a birthday dinner downtown and picked up a few things to go. Started eating the Turkish Delight and broke my tooth on a pebble. As pictured below, this was a pretty good sized piece of rock that unfortunately escaped their quality control. The worst part is that when I brought this to their attention, they did nothing, and after an email to the head office they wrote back in a very dismissive tone, insinuating that I was probably making it up. I have included their response below. For a new business in the city this is not too smart, as they care very little about their customers. BEWARE!! Hello, First of all, we are sorry to hear about your broken tooth. It must be very unfortunate to experience this. Every day, we sell tens of kilograms of lokum and have never had any complaints in any of our stores. We take great care of sourcing from verified vendors and producers that comply with all food safety standards. In this case, we are unable to ascertain that the cause of the accident is indeed the lokum you purchased at our store, especially given that you reported it almost two weeks after it happened. Nevertheless, we'd be happy to provide you with a one-time 20% discount next time you visit our store for anything you purchase up to $100. Unfortunately, we cannot do more to assist you in this case. Sincerely, MADO Office WHAT A JOKE! read more

We enjoyed a piece of wet chocolate cake with pistachios. They seem like not use to people ordering dessert directly from the counter. But we prefer to look at them as I'm not familiar with most of their dessert, and the things inside the counter display are what draw us in.

I went to the Don Mills location. The burger went as advertised and not really good for $26. The service was horrible. They staff packed my takeout meal and left it on the counter without letting me know it was ready. Even thou I was sitting in front of the service counter waiting. A simple, 'your order is ready' would have been good. A weird experience really. Also, it was really hard to order. read more

This chain location is a nice addition to the neighborhood. They have good baked goods. The main menu items are just okay and on the pricier side. The second floor service is much slower than the first floor. It's worth waiting for a table on the first level. However, the upper floor is a nice environment to hang out for long periods if you're in a big group and not in a rush. read more

Food and service were awesome. I have been Madi in Turkey. Taste and quality are same as Turkey' Mado.

If I could zero stars, I would. My husband and I went into Mado after seeing a hockey game this weekend. It was 10:30 and they closed at 11. We stood by the sign that said "please wait to be seated". The place was empty except for one family (which wound up being family of the owners). Workers saw us standing there and didn't come over to us. We waited close to 10 minutes and then asked the girl behind the counter if we could order ice cream. She said the seating is closed (we were wondering why all of the workers that saw us standing there didn't say this to us.) With a bit of an attitude, she took our order for take out and the ice cream wasn't good. I would not recommend this place. read more

Went there for breakfast and opted for their mado grand breakfast, which had a little bit of everything. Excellent taste, fresh ingredients and very good service as well.

I was in Toronto last weekend and my hotel was right in the heart of downtown Toronto. I stumbled upon Mado. It's an authentic Turkish ice cream, cafe & bakery. My daughter and I were looking to get ice cream and I recalled seeing them from earlier in the day during my tour around the city. We decided to give them a try. Although they have a bakery, the ice cream was did it for us. Their ice cream is sweet, light and light in flavor. They have a variety of flavors to choose from. You honestly can't go wrong with any of them. They allow you to taste test any flavor prior to purchasing. We loved this cute, vibrant shop so much that we returned just about every night that we stayed in Toronto. The staff there is friendly, patient and efficient. If you inquire about their pastries , they'll let you try them as well. If you're ever in downtown Toronto along Yonge St., I highly recommend stopping by and giving them a try. I also admired their beautiful tea/coffee sets that were on display. Also follow them on Instagram: @madoyonge read more
