Just discovered a hidden Turkish treasure near Yorkdale – Meat Point! Authentic, colorful, and delicious, this spot is loved by locals, so timing is key: we arrived at 5:30 PM and had space, but by 6:30 PM it was completely full.
Why I loved it:
• Pita Bread – bigger than your face! Freshly baked, soft, and perfect for dipping into different sauces.
• BBQ Mixed Meat in Copper Pot – a generous mix of lamb, beef, and chicken served over rice. (Personally, I skipped the lamb, but the rest were amazing!)
• Chicken Doner Platter – grilled chicken served on a wooden board with veggies, pita, and rice.
• Iron Plate Beef – tender beef served over a yogurt-based sauce, rich and creamy without being sour.
• Meatpoint Salad – fresh, healthy, and tangy with lettuce, beets, tomatoes, and more.
• Pide (Turkish “pizza”) – the cheese pide is outstanding: soft bread packed with melted cheese. The meat-topped pide is okay, but still tasty.
• Baklava – classic Turkish dessert, slightly sweet, perfectly paired with a cup of Turkish tea to balance flavors.
The staff are warm and friendly – we even ended up chatting with a Turkish lady and teaching her some Chinese! Overall, the experience felt like a mini trip to Turkey 🇹🇷 in the heart of Toronto.
