This is truly the best Turkish restaurant in all of Toronto. I don’t know why it’s not hyped up. We’ve been to all of the popular Turkish restaurants that are on social media and this one beats all of them. The food is fresh, delicious, flavourful. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced. The restaurant has beautiful decor and ambience. The service was friendly and fast. I would absolutely recommend here. We got Adana, beef stew, cag kebab and ali nazik and all were delicious!! I recommend all of these

Came in super hungry just for the cağ kebab, but ended up trying practically the whole menu. Every single dish was so delicious! Excellent food and amazing service. Special thanks to Tugce for taking such great care of us. 10/10

We recently visited Destan Restaurant. The place is beautifully decorated and really reminded me of restaurants in Turkey — a very warm and pleasant atmosphere. The service was excellent. I especially appreciate the girl who served us; she was very polite, friendly, and attentive. We ordered a Turkish pizza called pide, but the first one arrived a bit burnt. We asked if it could be replaced, and they kindly made a new one for us at no extra charge. And we were offered a free tea an pakhlava-THANK YOU !!! The second Pide was much better, and we really appreciated how professionally they handled it. Overall, the food was good. I would definitely recommend trying this place.

The restaurant is located in a plaza with convenient parking. Great dining atmosphere and spacious seats with privacy. The server kindly gave recommendations which turned out wonderful. She also served us free tea and generously offered refill. She had adequate amount of check-ins so was able to notice our needs timely without disrupting our conversations. The food was wonderful we got the lamb skewer and chicken platter and it came in a huge portion. Dessert was very delicious too. Would recommend.

A smashing choice for anyone seeking authentic and hearty Turkish flavors. The food is consistently good enough to warrant a second visit, though some of the desserts can be a bit hit-or-miss. Cag Kebab features tender, beautifully seasoned lamb sliced thin and served directly on the skewers. It’s accompanied by fluffy rice, a fresh Çoban-style salad, and soft bread, making for a proper, filling meal. Authentic Mezes showcases a brilliant start to the meal. The Acili Ezme (the spicy, finely minced tomato mix) packs a lovely punch, while the Haydari (creamy herb-infused yogurt) is wonderfully smooth. The meze topped with pomegranate seeds adds a delightful sweetness that balances the savoury notes. While the main courses are excellent, it is worth noting that the Kunefe can be inconsistent. On my first visit, it was perfect, but on the second, it was sadly not up to the same high standard. The interior of the restaurant is quite charming and unique. The rustic brick walls are accented by lovely mosaic lamps and distinctive circular window murals. These "windows" provide a bit of a global feel, with views of London's Big Ben and the Hong Kong skyline even.
