" The service was quite slow, but worth the wait for the delicious food! I ordered their mixed grill, and it was one of the best plates I've had. The meat was tender and juicy, paired perfectly with their fresh baked flatbreads. I suggest going when you aren't in a rush to enjoy everything! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I've been to many Turkish restaurants, Chef Istanbul has a special place in my heart. The doner was superb and gave off a delicious aroma upon serving. The staff's kindness made the experience even sweeter. I cannot stress how much you need to try their desserts, especially the baklava! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in downtown Montreal, Chef Istanbul is a must-visit! Their lentil soup is among the best I've had, and they provide it with a generous side of freshly baked bread. The service was friendly, and they even treated us to complimentary Turkish tea at the end of our meal. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Chef Istanbul and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Turkish dishes! The bread was fresh and soft, and the lamb kebab was perfectly seasoned. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Chef Istanbul based on recommendations, but I left feeling let down. The flavors were mild and unremarkable. The lentil soup, although decent in texture, lacked the depth I was anticipating. The service was average, and I felt that the dishes weren't well-represented in terms of Turkish authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a less than desirable experience at Chef Istanbul. The food simply didn’t meet my expectations; the falafel was overcooked and dry. Service was friendly, but it couldn’t make up for the food that fell short. I doubt I will return unless I hear improvements are made. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the meal, I felt that the prices were slightly high for what you get. The atmosphere was nice, providing a good dining experience, but the food itself, though good, didn't feel justifiable for the cost. Perhaps trying smaller dishes could be a better option in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
