Fantastically fresh food that's family-friendly…read more Food: Had a couple of dishes to share, starting with the garden salad that was very fresh and cool, perfect for a home summer day yet with a hint of sweetness that made it bright and vibrant. The hummus with mushroom was also very unique, it tasted very earthy and balanced the pita very well, providing some chew and meatiness to the dish. The pide was also very nice and crispy, and you can taste each ingredient separately on the pide yet it all melds together with the fragrant spices combine it all. Service: There was plenty of seating available in the restaurant, and the people were all very friendly. As it was our first time, the server helped provide some recommendations and walked us through some favourites on the menu. Atmosphere: The place was a nice and clean, but nothing spectacular in terms of design. Seats were comfortable enough, although the tables were fairly close together.

There is construction on 400 so it can be tricky to get here. You might have to go one exit passed Steeles and come back but it's worth it. Because of the time I went , there was only on other person in the dining room. You can see back into the kitchen. I like that be because the dining room usually smells pretty good. The server was from Turkey and he had a bit of an accent which made me think the food would be a little more authentic. On the recommendation of the server I got the Cokertme Kebab. It doesn't quite look like it does in the menu picture but it was really good. The beef strips were well seasoned and tender. The yogurt complimented the beef very well and the chips added good texture. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Even amid a busy dinner rush, they were quick to greet us and seat our family without difficulty. That level of hospitality goes a long way, especially when you're traveling with hungry kids! I chose the Mixed Beef and Chicken Doner, and it hit all the right notes. The beef was wonderfully seasoned, with a subtle sear that provided depth to each bite, and the chicken was moist and soft. It was a big, satisfying supper served with fluffy rice, fresh salad, and warm bread that reminded me of meals I had in other countries. My wife and kids ordered the Chicken Adana Kebab, and they were equally impressed. The skewers were grilled to perfection, with just the proper amount of heat, and the serving sizes were large. Our server ensured that the spice level was appropriate for children while maintaining the flavor. We couldn't resist eating the Tres Leches dessert, and it was the ideal way to cap the lunch. It was moist, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet, making it one of the greatest we'd ever eaten, Turkish restaurant or not. Mama Fatma Turkish Cuisine has earned a spot on our go-to list for family dinners thanks to its outstanding service, delectable cuisine, and clean, pleasant ambiance. Highly recommended for those looking for genuine Turkish cuisine with a touch of warm friendliness!

If it's your first time visiting this place or trying Turkish cuisine overall, you can't go wrong…read morewith the Mix Kebab Combo for Two option. It's like a sampler plate that includes a variety of their signature dishes, allowing you to sample a little bit of everything. Personally, I found the portion to be generous enough for 3-4 people, unless you have very good appetites or are prepared to take home leftovers. Their kebabs are bursting with flavor. They grill them with lamb oil or lamb fat to enhance the taste. The beef doner and chicken were tender, juicy, and well-marinated, while the lamb chops were perfectly cooked. The mini pides looked cute. As for drinks, I tried the Doğanay Şalgam. This salty turnip juice has a unique flavor profile; it was quite an interesting experience for me as I had never tried salty juices before. In fact, it's the kind of taste you might find yourself becoming obsessed with. Although the restaurant is located in an ordinary plaza, the interior is spacious and decorated in authentic Turkish style. The staff were friendly and patient, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience. If you are seeking an authentic taste of Turkey I'd recommend this restaurant.

Prices felt fair for the quality, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu. Highly recommend if you're craving real Turkish comfort food!

The plate had a good variety of meats and no BS (unlike some other restaurants that throw fries on the plate and call it 'delicacy'). They also didn't dip everything into lamb oil to "enhance" the flavour - you could actually taste the meat itself. The beef was soft, the chicken was juicy, and the lamb was tender. They also offered free naan and dipping sauce, which was very nice. For dessert, we had baklava, $4 for a small piece, but we had no complaint considering the free appetizer earlier.

We ordered "Mix Appetizers" to share, which was served with freshly baked Turkish bread. Spicy Mash had a bit of a kick, but not too spicy, which we enjoyed. Baba Ganoush, Haydari and Hummus were fresh and tasty. For main, we ordered "Efendi Lamb Chops", "Efendi Meat Shish Kebab", "Beyti Kebab", "Sac Tava" and "Spinach and Cheese Pide". Efendi Lamb Chops And Efendi Meat Shish Kebab were served on a hot sizzling plate which was really fun to watch and they were the most tender, juicy and flavourful ones we have ever had. Pide was fresh and the cheese was very tasty. Beyti Kebab had a bit of a kick to it which we really loved; we also enjoyed the combination of yogurt and Spicy Mash; it was a great combination with the veal wraps. Sac Tava was a great combination of cubed beed, green peppers and spices. We loved every bite of our food. We ended on a sweet note with freshly made "Kunefe" and of course Turkish coffee. Kunefe was very delicious and right amount of sweetness. Turkish coffee was served in beautiful cups and we enjoyed both.

The food is also quite good, from the presentation to the taste. I love the lahmacun, it's thin and chewy and, together with the gyro plate, was perfect for filling us both up. Be careful of the little yellow peppers, though. I took a bite and instantly bought some yogurt to cool the heat. The decor has a vibe is inspired by the streets of London with the photo booth. Worth checking this out if you're in the area and need to grab a bite to eat.

The garlic sauce was not like the ones you are used to from the Middle East, but a different type. The tahini also is not like you would get at a Lebanese restaurant. I think this is Turkish based. However overall you are getting a good deal and tasty food for what you're paying. Are the place is clean, new, nicely decorated and spacious. Workers seem pretty friendly. Credit card is accepted here. It's in a plaza with lots of parking. I recommend this place.

Great place for Turkish food…read more We came here in a weekday morning for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by just how much food was available. We were all provided with complimentary bread and tea, and ordered the mix kebab platter for two, and the authentic Turkish village breakfast platter for two. The meal was phenomenal, and the spread was generous. The breakfast included an assortment of different sides & dips such as, olives, cheese, salads, butter, honey, jams, tahini, etc. we dipped it with the pide, bread, fries, roll borek. It even had a lovely sujuk with eggs. The mix kebab had lamb, chicken, wings, meatballs, doner, with rice, bread and salad. We had to grab some take out boxes at the end, as the meal was wonderfully filling.

This is a meal that I've been thinking about since last night... but not really in an ideal way…read more Yes, it was good, but mainly because of how shockingly expensive it was. I'm conflicted because the food and service were great so I can't be complain about any of that. I came with 2 friends and we wanted a variety so we settled on the mix grill platter. The menu options only offer a 2 and 4 person platter, but our server told us they could make one geared for 3 people so we decided to go with that. It came with a salad and fresh bread to share. The meats were tender and juicy. Everything was really flavourful. I enjoyed the food. The server was also really helpful with answering any questions we had. But the bill came and I was shocked. It came out to $59.99 per person after tax and tip to split the platter 3 ways. Quality was pretty decent but the portioning of it does not justify the price. Next time if I were to return, I'd probably just get my own dish... the platters present that "wow" favour but they're pricey. I get that there's quite a bit of protein but there are other things I'd rather get for that hefty price tag. I don't think it would be fair to leave a lower rating solely due to the value aspect because the food was yummy and all other factors such as environment and service were satisfactory... but for me the value weighs heavy in my priorities and I feel the cost of the platter is too high, as good as it is.
