Marche Istanbul — Attraction in Toronto

Marche Istanbul is great, both in-store and for delivery! Their Turkish foods are good quality, very reasonably priced, and they're friendly and helpful. Great source for feta, olives, canned vine leaves, dried fruits and nuts, lentils, etc Don't pass up the baked goods: pita, baklava, simit (kind of like a giant thin sesame bagel)! Try the Ulker chocolates and biscuits too, and the marmarabirlik olives.

If they're a little far to travel, the on-line delivery is quite reasonable and delivers to a broad area of the GTA, and they've always been reliable and good about handling things out-of-stock, substitutions, etc. Better than the delivery options for some of the major grocery chains, actually. Be aware that there are a few things which aren't listed online and are normally in-store only. For example the house fetas, pita, nuts & dried fruit. But if you ask nicely and know what to ask for, they have been willing to add them onto a delivery...

I come here pretty often. The service is always great! The employees are very kind and quick at the cash register. This place is a tad pricey but the quality of the food is pretty good and it's authentic. They raised their prices up a bit after their expansion and renovation. The store is a lot more functional since then.

It's very clean. There is music playing in the background which adds to the shopping experience. They have little trinkets, traditional coffee makers, tea sets and samovars. They also carry board games like Show Okey.

The baklava is not always fresh but it's very tastey nonetheless! Some of the products aren't always available but there are great substitutes.

Overall, it's an amazing little place to go to get away from the busy Toronto life. They should really think about adding a place with tables to serve some coffee...

These guys will try to take more money from you. I ordered 6 lahmacun packages for hold by phone, when I got there he counted it to himself and told me there is 6 and charged me for 6, but when I got home there was only 5 in the bag. This also happened to my brother too before. Don’t trust them count your items and make sure to total up the cost before going to the register, as the receipt just shows you the final price and doesn’t show any of the individual item you purchased. If there is no price tag ask...
