With Turkey being one of my most favourite countries (having visited more than 5 times) it is no surprise that I love the cuisine. Having heard many good reviews about Maison Istanbul, I was excited to make the long trip from the South Shore to the restaurant. The exterior and interior are both very simple and look like a typical 'fast-food' joint with some parking out front. Inside there is plenty of seating and is relatively clean. There are a lot of options to choose from, from sandwiches and pizzas to meat plates and pide (Turkish pizza bread). We were starving so ordered a Donner Meat Plate and a Mixed Kabab Plate. The portions were very large and both of us were unable to finish! The donner meat was very moist and delicious, served the authentic way with bulgur rice, Turkish bread, salad and fries. I asked for some of their homemade sauce that they serve with the Adana Kabab (I think) which they happily provided a good warmed portion of - it went really well with the meats as I find gyro/donner a bit on the dry side. My husband loved the mixed kabab plate which was full of flavour. I found the plates a bit on the pricier side as everything was quite basic and you would expect to pay that much at a slightly more fancier restaurant. However, I would definitely return if in the area as the food was very tasty and authentic.

Iskender kebab
Harry K.

Came here upon a recommendation of a Turkish friend and only to try the Iskender kebab. This was something I'd never had before so wanted to find out what the whole fuss was about. I'm guessing it's a very popular kebab with Turkish people. The rest on their menu is all too familiar for me. Hence my little trip all the way there was justified lol. The place itself is an OK place, casual, laid back and full of Turkish vibe. Big screen TV playing on moderate volume, you can hear all kinds of Turkish music. Not a bad place for a casual lunch or dinner in general. My Iskender kebab gets a 4 star. I wasn't wowed and wasn't disappointed either. My friend warned me saying what you get here in terms of taste vs the one offered in Turkey, specifically in the city of Bursa.... big difference. Ah well, I'm not travelling to Turkey for that so going to settle with this. Overall, I was satisfied with my dish, basically it's a mix of two kinds of meat, lamb and beef gyro style laid on top of bed of what looked like Afghan bread, cut into bite sizes topped with tasty tomato sauce. I think this is the only kebab you eat with plain yogurt and again I have to check online to see if this is the authentic way of doing it. Portion was good but $16 plus tax and tip which comes to $21 and change with no drink, I found it to be just a little overpriced. I'm guessing because it contains lamb meat. It loses one star though for missing paper towel dispenser in the washroom, salt, pepper and napkins not found on every table and also staff not attentive. I wasn't even asked if I wanted to drink something nor offered a standard glass of water. Overall, I'd stop by here again if in the hood to try other food. Where I come from, they're all too similar to me but sure theirs has a different twist. Recommend? Yes. Worth the discovery.

Iskender Kebab

Excellent Turkish place, the real deal, the food is just like in Turkey. I have already been here twice and will come back again to try the rest of their menu. I have had so far the Iskender Kebab and the shish taouk kebab, very good. I have tried as well the lentil soup, yummy just like grandma's do it in Turkey. And their Kunefe was awesome, which is a dessert made with cheese pastry soaked in sweet, sugar-based syrup. The service is very good as well, they are very kind. The place itself is not great looking, not super charming but you still feel the warmth from Turkey. If you are around the neighborhood it is worth trying their food. By the way, their mixed platters are looking amazing, so I'm definitely going for that next time. They also mentioned me that soon they will open a new place that will look way better, so looking forward to that.

Incredible food with amazing service. Would highly recommend this place. I've been to many Turkish restaurants and this by far is my favorite. Try it for yourself and you won't be disappointed.

Chicken

Delicious authentic Turkish cuisine. The meat are cooked to perfection! The rice tastes phenomenal with the platter of beef, chicken and lamb. The price is very reasonable! Must try if you are in the area.

My friends and I bought a groupon for an art night/tapas at this restaurant. We were looking…read moreforward to trying this place out. The decor of the restaurant was stunning! The art work on the walls, the intricate chairs and laterns, beautiful carpets were very impressive. The art part of the evening was amazing! We were four girls and we all loved the teacher, we had a blast. The food part of the evening was a huge disappointment. When I made the reservation I was told we would have a choice of tapas, there was no choice. The waitress did not even bother to explain what it was we were eating when she brought the food to the table. The first tapas came in a small serving dish and tasted like frozen spinach, mixed with oil and what I could only assume was little bits of ground beef. No salt or seasoning what so ever, and it had one tortilla chip in it. The chip was the best part. The second tapas was a mixture of grated carrot, mixed with lots of oil and a lot of prunes! I had about 8 prunes in my dish. There was some chicken as well, but again, no seasoning. At the start of the evening we thought we might stay longer, order more food perhaps...we quickly changed our minds on that. Also the waitress seemed like she wanted us to leave so she could close up. All in all, we had fun, but the food left much to be desired. Far too pretentious for the price.

Terrible experience. Never going back. They completely ruined an event which I attended by playing…read moreloud and weird music and not attending to guest`s needs. We were approximately 8 people and everyone swore to complain and to write a review. First it took them about 20 minutes to bring us drinks we ordered. Then we had to ask them twice for ice because all drinks were warm. 10 minutes later they finally found the ice. Appetizer was not cooked properly; I will leave it at that. Main meal was just ok. Medium rare stake turned out well done. Sauce with the stake was good, but rest was so-so. Wine menu is practically non-existent. In the middle of our dinner staff interrupted our event by bringing left-over sweets from the buffet they had in another part of restaurant and lightning candles for my friend`s anniversary. Honorable intent of course, but two problems with that. We were in the middle of our main meal, so everyone was shocked at how poor their timing was. And of course second is the fact that it was composed of left overs and was far from being presentable. Temperature in the room was too hot for most people, all women complained. Lightning was way too bright. Staff kept mixing orders all the time and forgetting simple requests. The only positive I can think of is decor; they have done a good job with making it look nice and unique. In the end we all left extremely frustrated to say the least. I hope this helps anyone thinking of organizing an event at this place or even a romantic date.
