Extra star for the great service. I would recommend coming on a weekday as the atmosphere is a lot more peaceful versus the bustle of the weekend. We had the chicken kebab and the grain salad with beef. The chicken was large chucks of moist meat with a great assortment of sides to pair it with. I liked the salad as I could taste the pomegranate vinaigrette and the beef was tender. Ended the meal with tiramisu and hot tea. What a wonderful meal! read more

We cane here in a group of 6 people on a Sunday brunch and ordered Traditional Turkish Breakfast. And since it wasn't enough for all of us, ww ordered some side dishes like Menemen, Fried Egg, Simit, Fried Sujuk, and Sujuk & Halloumi Stick. We also ordered Turkish Tea and coffee. The breakfast was tasty and the service was decent, considering how busy the restaurant was. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

I haven't been this excited about a place in a while! I was a little weirded out by the loud music from the outside but the interior of the restaurant was beautiful. Very romantic and inviting. The servers were always going around anticipating what customers needed. The food was delicious and fun. The basque cheesecake was to die for. It was my first time trying actual Turkish delight and I now get why Edward betrayed his siblings. Lol I went here twice in one week, thats how much I loved this place. I cant wait to try more things off the menu. On the Friday that I was there they were supposed to have a band but apparently the band couldnt make it so they had a DJ. A little weird when he started playing "Sexbomb" by Tom Jones. The transition between songs was also pretty bad. But other than that really great restaurant! read more

My family visited Mado at the Yorkdale location on Christmas Day. This place is absolutely 'LIT' (literally) on the outside with all the fairy lights! They have all-day Turkish breakfast, entrees of all sorts, and LOTS of dessert and Turkish treats. They also have an area where you can purchase merchandise! I would recommend: - Appetizer platters to share! - Chocolate Milkshake - Fried Eggs with Sujuk (sausage) - Fettuccine Alfredo Chicken & Mushroom If you're celebrating a birthday, you'll be in for a surprise! Such a great spot for large group gatherings too! read more

The interiors of this restaurant, as others have shared, are dazzling. So spacious and brightly lit, as if you're stepping into a palace or a really nice hotel lobby. The outside is rather plain compared to what you see on the inside, from the bakery that houses numerous items to the ice cream counter next to it. The decor and feel of the place are great. While it was a pleasant atmosphere to eat in, the food and service were just OK - maybe even slightly below expectations based on the interiors alone, and the prices are much higher than the other restaurants around it - seemed more for the novelty of the food than the quality or quantity. The meatballs I ordered were filling, but nothing that made my mouth water or my stomach grumbling for more. The lone server seemed more preoccupied with the guests (friends?) in the far corner of the room than he did with me or other diners, but he was friendly enough. I'm not sure why they don't serve water as soon you sit down - instead, each table has a few sealed water bottles that I wasn't sure was part of the menu because no one explained it. I walked out with an okay experience but probably wouldn't come here again unless it was the only thing in the area. For these prices, you might as well as dine at one of the fancy mall establishments just a couple blocks away. read more

This restaurant was highly recommended and did not disappoint. It wasn't too busy when we went and our server was very attentive. We're not Turkish and she took the time to explain a few of the dishes to us. We ordered Turkish tea, chicken shish kebab, Mado pizza (pictured), ice cream and Turkish delight (not pictured). The food was flavourful and perfectly cooked. The pizza is super cheesy and not too big. We loved the ice cream and it's worth stopping by for that alone. The interior definitely has a Turkish vibe. It's beautiful and well lit. read more

I finally had the opportunity to try Mado. The dishes remind me of Istanbul. The staff are friendly and the design of the restaurant is amazing. The colours of the furniture and tiles really come together. The food has extraordinary taste. Mado has limited vegetarian options but nonetheless still amazing. The Turkish coffee is authentic and the Turkish delights you can not turn down. If you need a new restaurant to dine in, Mado will definitely exceed your expectations. read more

FOOD | I saw this place recommended on TikTok and the ambiance and food looked great so I decided to pay MADO a visit (prior to our current lockdown). They offer their breakfast selections all day, so my friend and I chose to split the Traditional Breakfast platter ($17.99). The platter comes with Turkish tea, which is refillable throughout your dining! The breakfast platter was a yummy blend of Turkish breakfast foods, with a lot of focus on fried and cheesy foods. The roasted green pepper and tomato comes in a dish in the center with a lid, and my friend and I only discovered this wasn't decorative toward the end of our meal For dessert, I got the Classic Kesme Ice Cream ($15.99). This is a really heavy ice cream, as it's made out of goat cheese. The desserts are large and heavy enough to all be shareable, in my opinion! AMBIANCE | MADO has such a nice interior. It is a perfect blend of cafe and restaurant aesthetic, and I think it'd be a great place to host any special events or just any dinners with friends. SERVICE | We had a really nice waitress who checked in with us, despite the restaurant being pretty busy when we were dining in. She was very sweet about the refill requests! VERDICT | I'm not sure why this restaurant doesn't have the most positive reviews on Yelp, as I really enjoyed this restaurant! read more

This is just about their ice cream. It's the best if you like creamy rich ice cream. I copied this blog.to on the description of the ice cream. Made with goat milk, as well as two thickeners: mastic gum and salep, a type of flour made from the root of the purple orchid We had the pistachio, plain (which is described above and you can really taste how it is somehow difference from other ice creams but it's subtle and it was my favourite of the 3), and chocolate. I found their menu lacking in detail and I was only enlightened by a friend and this description. Warning the rest of the menu is also lacking in description. It is best to look ahead of time so you know what you're getting The host checked in on us. I usually only see this in high end restaurants. So nice touch And the place was a revolving door with people constantly coming and going. A good sign, it is popular with the locals. I live in Toronto but I am not Turkish! I'm Chinese and we definitely know when it's a good Chinese restaurant there is a lineup. read more

MADO - Yorkdale - Left-right pistachio, plain (my fav), chocolate (very intense) ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came in and Emery (our server) was in the corner busy with his girlfriend feeding her and chatting. The host was nice and sat us to our seats. We had to ask a few times for water while he went back to chatting to his girlfriend in the corner. He was not attentive nor did he say sorry for forgetting our water when asked a couple of times. He just talked to someone else and told them to get our waters without a response. The place is so beautiful, but the food wasn't that great. The pasta was super mushy and is supposed to be a Fettuccini Alfredo but tasted only of pesto and oil (which would have been fine if that's what was ordered). There was no cream at all (as seen in photo). The pizza... Was like those frozen mini pizzas at home . I ordered dessert but was too dissatisfied so I canceled it. I normally don't write bad reviews , but this has not been a good experience. On the other hand if you get anyone else as your server (I looked around at the others) they were very attentive. Even the host would say thank you for coming before leaving. read more

We have tried mado before in Turkey and we love the atmosphere and food presentation! While visiting from ottawa we made sure give mado a visit! Service was more than friendly.. now we ordered the breakfast special for 2. It was quiet simple, and like a homemade cooked meal. We tried ordering other pastries for breakfast but they were out of them. We had the famous simit. It was fresh and good. The decor was very n ie. they had nice feature at the door automated camera with temperature check. Doors at the washroom opened with a wave. These were cool features in Covid times. But food was nothing special! read more

Complete love this place! Absolutely wonderful staff! The gentleman who srrved us was as kind as can be! The place was lively and busy, confirming its popularity. My friend and I ordered the breakfast for 2 and had truly enjoyed it. However, being allergic to peanuts, I did not appreciate that they did mot inquire about allergies, and then placed some peanut butter on the tray. Having no idea it was peanut butter, I put put some one my tongue and immediately had to run to the bathroom to rinse my mouth and take an antihistamine ASAP. This is an aspect I truly wish they improve on! Otherwise this place is wonderful!!!!! 9/10 +1 if they inquire about allergies. Thank goodness I carry an epipen. But for those who do not, please be cautious. Otherwise I totally LOVED THE PLACE!!!! read more

Super cute spot for Turkish brunch! The parking lot is hell, but once you get inside you're greeted by the super nice decor and a very spacious interior. We ordered the Mado Grand Breakfast, which allowed us to sample a number of different dishes as well as cheeses, fruits, and spreads to pair with bread. It also comes with Turkish tea with tea refills. Portions were very filling, we were stuffed by the end of the meal. The food's on the pricier side for brunch, but you're also paying for the nice ambiance. All in all, a great option for a cute brunch date outside of the downtown core! read more

I am so happy Mado chose to open their first North American location in Toronto. This place feels like a small piece of Turkey that was transported to Canada. It is the ultimate Turkish dining experience - from the traditional Turkish breakfast to their bold Turkish coffee, Mado didn't miss anything!!! It is one of the rare occasions when the restaurant has both the ambience AND amazing food. I had their shakshuka which was served with bread pita, their beef wrap, traditional tea, Turkish coffee and baklava. It all tasted exactly like the ones I had in Turkey and so authentic. I loved everything about this place and I will be returning here a lot. Can't wait for their new location in downtown Toronto! read more

Great food and service as we celebrated a birthday over brunch. Lots of variety, timely service and warm fresh food.

The location is a bit strange and little bit to find that is tucked away in a small little plaza in the busy street of Dufferin to get into the parking lot. The decor and interiors design is beautiful and well done! The restaurant wasn't too busy on a weekday night with tables still available. After looking at the menu the prices were pretty expensive, the tradition breakfast was already $26.99, Iskander Beef was $29.99, and Chicken Cajun was $27.99. With the dishes it was over $100 already and everything tasted okay. Definitely not an every day restaurant that is affordable for everyone. read more

We came here to eat but apparently they were full (the restaurant had plenty of empty seats. Service was also rude. Anyways we got some sweets since they looked amazing. I really recommend the pomegranate flavor since it was the right amount of tart in a sweet. We are going to try to come back before we leave Toronto. Edit: came here on a Sunday noon and got seated. Waiters are very nice and attentive. I recommend people to come here if they're in the area. read more

So so tasty! We got the MADO Grand breakfast, which was made up of a selection of sweet and savory dishes on a large tasting-platter-sort-of-deal as well as a few side plates. Our server was lovely and explained all of the dishes to us as this was our first Time here. They serve breakfast all day, which is lovely, and it was mentioned to us that we absolutely have to have reservations on the weekend as it's so busy. Highly recommended! Mado grand breakfast- $25/person: Minimum two-person to order, price is per person. Feta cheese, aged fresh kashar cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, 2 slices of su borek, comb honey - butter, tahini - molasses, fruit jam, goat milk jam, green and black olives, adjika sauce, tomato, cucumber, rocket leaves or lettuce, season fruits, dried apricot and walnuts, 1 breadbasket per person. For every 2 portions: - Two over-easy eggs with Turkish sausage or menemen. - 1 grilled Turkish sausage and cheese shish- 1 slice of su borek. *Unlimited tea during your breakfast. read more

Excellent food and excellent service! The chicken shish kabob and Iskender kabob were delicious!

I was excited to try out this Turkish restaurant in the area as my friend recommended it. The interior decor is nice and looks very fancy. The food was alright, the drinks and ice cream are great though. Just like other reviewers here, I ran into the same problem, the service was not that great. The waitress was not attentive at all and it took many attempts to get their attention when we needed something. I found the service rather rude and not professional, not sure if I want to go back here again! And be sure to make a reservation before showing up! read more

I went to this restaurant for the second time after a while and it is going to be my last. The service and the food weren't the same as my first visit. Big disappointments. The price is ridiculously expensive, the portions are too small, the wait time to be served and receive food is too long. For the same cost you can get delicious steak, desert and nice drink else where. On the bright side there are many other good restaurants from around the globe in GTA to enjoy their delicious dishes with reasonable prices and drop this kind of ridiculous restaurants from the bucket list. BTW I tried to contact their head office, it turn out to be worse than the restaurant. read more

We went here with my mother. Unfortunately, we couldn't sit there because the employees said there was no room. But there was room. We will never go to such a rude establishment again. My mother was already sitting at the table, but they made us stand up. I say it again, it's a very rude attitude. My mother is 73 years old. It's a shame. I told everyone I know not to go there. read more

Breakfast was fantastic!! Service and staff were great too!!! I will recommend checking it out!!

Came here today for my friend's big birthday. My friend picked the place as she has never tried Turkish food. It was us three girls. My one friend suggested we get this grand breakfast. It looked like a huge portion in the picture of the menu. We ordered a jug of lemonade that came with some snack cakes. The jug of lemonade came but we didn't get any glasses. They also forgot our snack cakes until we asked. Our food came and I thought it was a portion for one person. Asked the server and they confirmed it was for two people. As seen in photos, there's a few pieces of fruit, some cheese, some jams, a simple salad. What wasn't pictured was two pieces of bread and a skewer with some cheese and a plate of fries, and scrambled eggs. All the ingredients were fairly inexpensive items so to charge $50 dollars is ridiculous. I could've gotten a steak and eggs elsewhere. I'm not someone to complain but I felt like we were being ripped off big time. I requested to speak to a manager but spoke to a girl who said she couldn't do anything. We pointed out the picture in the menu and said what we got was nothing close to the picture. She advised us that was a ten person portion. A restaurant who would wanted return customers would be offered us something or taken something off our bill. I used to work in the industry too. Anyways, this is the first and last time I will ever go to this place. If you don't mind spending an arm and a leg on some cheese, jams and fruits, otherwise avoid the place at all costs. Take your money elsewhere. I'm still hungry from the small portioned expensive breakfast. Customer service lacking and overly priced breakfast. Also forgot to mention we did mention to our server it was our friend's bday which they did nothing. We ordered her a cake and brought our own candle and lit it. read more

I was there with two other people for a family celebration. We ordered multiple dishes for a late lunch and I was excited to eat some Turkish food. It was a great disappointment-we waited forever for the food and then 10 more minutes for the cutlery. The food tasted reheated and bland. We thought maybe this place is a dessert place but it also missed the mark-kinaffa was mostly noodles and hardly any cheese But the restaurant itself looks very nice very modern and clean so I am giving two stars read more

Ordered latte, cappuccino for drinks. We also ordered acma bread. All items were really good.
