here's the run-down - Atmosphere, Service, & Food
Atmosphere: Antep Kabab - for all of Montreal's diverse culinary fabric - is one of the few Turkish restaurants found in down-town. The fact that it's owner operated, gives it its unique feel - what the feel is, however is yet to be clearly determined. It's small, but cozy, quite but bustling, uniquely Turkish but feel like any number of places around the Concordia Campus. Best is to pop in for take out.
Service: The lady behind the counter - always on her laptop pc - has a jovial smile, but can be stern if the mood doesn't strike her. The owner, a short, burly man is the head cook (also makes the bread / pitas) speaks english with difficulty and although always happy to take customer's orders - can often been seen barking remarks / order as the 2 other employes on the counter lady. Cute family-ish dynamic - but sometimes gives patrons an awkward feeling.
Food: The food however, is something else! The fact that everything is made fresh, makes Antep's menu a treasured prize for the hungry student, traveller, err... everybody. Prices have been on the rise (damn you inflation!) and Antep's sandwiches (kabab, shish taouk (chicken portions), kebab, and filet mignon) have gone up in price to $6 each. Two of them should do the trick when you're hungry. Everything is cooked on a charcoal grill & as an added bonus you can find many exotic soft drinks and juices at Antep (those from the Mediterranean part of Europe and the Middle East will recognize many of them). Take note, only cash is accepted.
