Reviews for Istanbul Kebab and Donair in Edmonton, AB
Good food, friendly staff
Staff friendly, service on time and quick. Their pida was one of the best pidas I've had in Edmonton, absolutely delicious.... Their kebabs tasted great as well, however they were very thin. Compared to other kebab places Their portions are smaller forthe same price. But I would still come back again, especially for their pidas! Read more
My group and I loved the food here. The food came hot, was plated well and tasted authentic! Only points of improvement I would... provide are that the rice could be spiced more and the service be improved. Our server was very pleasant but only came to giveus and service food. We couldn?t get a hold of her to order food or pay for food. Read more
The chicken had a nice charcoal bbq taste to it, which was quite nice. The platter overall was very good and definitely had the... Turkish taste. Would definitely come here again to try their knafeh! Read more
First time trying this spot out and it was fantastic! We had the spinach and feta pide, mixed kebab platter, and the lamb chop... platter. Everything was flavorful and fresh! The garlic sauce is amazing too and pairs so well with the meat. Definitelyrecommend! Read more
One of the few Turkish restaurants in Edmonton. Quite nice in terms of the restaurant layout. I like the seats and decor as a... Turk myself; all great Turkish style. I would honestly say a solid 3.5 stars for this place. I had their Adana Kebab, which isone of my favourite Turkish dishes. The portion of the plate is large, or at least it seems so because there?s a huge abundanceof rice. The hummus and garlic sauce are very tasty and have a perfect, smooth consistency. The salad is dry though. It has nodressing or anything. I?m used to eating kebab dishes with charcoal grilled tomatoes and peppers as well, which I?ve had fromother kebab restaurants in the city. That wasn?t on this plate. While the rice wasn?t all that tasty, my main issue was with thekebab itself. I?m not sure if it was how it was cooked or prepared but the meat was very chewy, almost like elastic. In otherkebab places, I could simply sink the side of my fork in and it would split without any effort. I actually had to use a knife tocut this into smaller pieces and the consistency was very chewy, unlike any kebab I?ve ever had. The service was alright, but itwasn?t anything special or worth noting. Compared to ?Best Kebab?, a very popular Turkish kebab restaurant close to this one,has fantastic service that hasn?t been matched at another yet, in my opinion. The kebab there is much more tastier with a fullerplate and better presentation. I originally came for a chicken donair plate, but they didn?t have it, which was a bitdisappointing. Read more
An original taste same as in Turkey, I tried the Adana kebab as it is my favourite one and I have to confess that it was... amazing same as I tried before in Adana few years ago during my visits to Turkey, the taste and Deco remind me my unforgettableseveral trips To Turkey. We ordered a takeout at the beginning but the decoration and atmosphere attracted us and decided tostay. What surprised me more is the bread which is baked in their huge Stone oven (old style, see pictures below) I am fan ofeverything baked on stone oven and I guess this restaurant will attract people by the taste of oven. Prices are fair andreasonable, The stuff is kind and portions are big, I couldn?t finish my kebab with the exceptional tasty fries offered withinthe combo. We were more lucky at the end by getting a wonderful Turkish tea served in an authentic Turkish tea cups in a lovelysilver tray with a traditional dessert ( I forgot to ask where can we buy this tray & cups in Canada????). There is no doubtthat this place will be my favourite restaurant every time I visit Edmonton ???? Read more
