We made a reservation for a Saturday dinner to enjoy the incredible food and live music and we were not let down! The decoration is very chic and pleasant for the eyes. 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. read more

Came here due to friend's recommendation. Very nice place with upscale ambience. 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! read more

A solid spot for Turkish food. I discovered them through a delivery app and they do have promos at times. In have tried their kebab offerings for now all solid though the meat portion is less than other spots. They do give ample sides though and their bulgur is quite good. I will try the pide next and update. The dips are good as well. read more

The Turkish focused menu offers an array of dips. We started with the fatteh ($10), one that I've never had before. The pressed yogurt reminds me of a thinner labneh. Covered with oil, which the menu describes as infused with garlic and shallots, it tasted liked nothing except for the roasted cashews on top. The dip really needs more spices or seasonings to add interest. Luckily, the starter arrives with complimentary feta, butter, and hummus. Ultimately, with some feta on the fatteh it helps augment the flavours with a bit of saltiness. Maybe Sibel just likes to shy away from salt, as their hummus was also served neutral so tastes like nothing more than blended chickpeas with a bit of oil. Even the Turkish babaganoush ($9) was also relatively tasteless. There wasn't the expected smokiness from using grilled eggplant any any onion, garlic, or parsley was muted. If anything, the sweet and tangy pomegranate glaze stood out the most. The best thing about the dips is having the pita. Freshly prepared in a wood burning oven, it was sizzling hot and delicious. Sprinkled with an everything bagel seasoning, it thankfully adds a bit of zest to the plain dips. Sibel's fried kubbeh ($14) was surprisingly fluffy in the centre, the mixture of beef, bulgur, onion, walnuts, and spices crumble onto the plate upon breaking through the crispy coating. Dipped with pistachio it's beautiful to behold and tasty, just a rather small portion (two per order) for the price. The mixed kebab platter ($38) is a great way to try several proteins: Despite the lamb chop being cut thinly and being overdone, it was still tender and well seasoned. In comparison, the cubes of filet were done a perfect medium rare but wasn't as flavourful. While not necessarily bad, I'd recommend you having these first, so it doesn't seem as plain. The full adana kebab was juicy and mixed with enough spices so it's flavour without being overwhelming. Lastly, the chicken wings were done well, cooked through without becoming dry and having a nice char on the skin. Overall, for incorporating so many different types of proteins with bones and different cooking times, the platter came together well. Made to feed a sumo wrestler, it'd be a lot of food for one, so is ideal for sharing. Aside from all the proteins, there's also a bed of deliciously saucy bulgur, fluffy white rice, bread, shredded cabbage, onions, spicy grilled peppers, and half a tomato. It's not a lot of vegetables, so if you want something to balance out the proteins, pair this with a salad. On another visit, I stuck with just the adana kebab ($34) and it was equally juicy. It's just surprising that by itself you don't get much more of the kebab despite the main being almost equally priced to the mixed kebab platter. In my books, the mixed platter is a much better deal. At least that had more sides than the shrimp kebab ($35). It was almost comical how noticeably smaller it was than the other two mains, served with only bulgur and a roasted tomato. You'll only want to order this if you're in the mood for a very light meal. At least the shrimp were sizable and cooked well. Their pide are a great option for any pizza lovers. A thinnish chewy toasted bread forms the base and the chicken fillet pide ($24) was filled with a healthy portion of mozzarella and chicken. It was enjoyable, but a little plain since there were scant amounts of other ingredients listed on the menu (mushrooms, olives, and tomato). I would have liked more of the vegetables to balance out the dish. read more

We went here to celebrate an anniversary dinner, table of 10 adults. The restaurant has a great upscale feel and the decor matches the style, luxurious atmosphere. We arrived about 10 minutes for our reservation on a very very cold January night however they were running behind and couldn't seat our full table so decided to seat 1/2 of the table, then the restaurant were given makeshift seating on a tiny table while we waited more than 20 mins after our reservation time for a full table to be available, that aside. Every dish served was delicious, the fire tower had a satisfying variety and was flavourful along with the numerous appetizers, mixed kebab platter and whole sea-bream fish. The cocktails were okay but the dessert was addictive - kunafe with marash ice cream read more

An interesting experience for dinner last night. The food started off very strong with a selection of Turkish dips; Mutabal, Fateh, Beet Hummus and Baba Ganoush, all with fabulous fresh bread. This was devoured by the whole table. The mains were a bit more hit and miss with the grilled shrimp being a bit rubbery and served with a very odd honey sauce. The mixed grill and the lamb chops were a bigger success being a very large portion with mounds of accompanying bulgur and ride Baklava for dessert was also quite nice. Service was good and attentive but we were served by every waiter in the restaurant making it hard to know who was our main server. Ambiance was very upscale with lots of well dressed parties and the occasional blast of loud music from a playlist for birthday parties read more

We visited Sibel with friends on March 15 2025 for dinner and wine. We liked it so much. Great food, excellent service, clean place, nice ambiance. They have live music but only played for birthday announcements. They accommodated our birthday celebration with free dessert! read more

A group of us had a great dinner at Sibel during the holidays. The well-appointed restaurant has an energetic vibe, with everyone from couples to families to large groups enjoying excellent Turkish Fare. We opted for the fire tower for 65 to get to sample many of the delish dishes. It was an ample amount of food, including apps. Thanks to the staff for taking care good care of us on such a busy night. I look forward to returning! read more
