Bottonline- If you want a slice of Turkish cafe in North York, this is it. Cafe Luka transports you straight to Istanbul, offering an authentic Turkish cafe experience right in town. The ambiance is charming, reminiscent of traditional cafes with warm, inviting decor that feels like a cozy nook in Istanbul itself. The breakfast here is a highlight—delicious, satisfying, and at a price point that makes it accessible. The menu is affordably priced across the board, so you can enjoy a quality meal without breaking the bank. Service could be a touch faster, but the friendly staff and relaxing vibe more than make up for it. Overall, Cafe Luka is a gem for anyone craving a taste of Turkey and a cozy atmosphere. I’d happily visit again.

Food: The menu offers an authentic taste of Turkish cuisine along with a few classic lunch options. My friend and I tried the Turkish coffee, Menemen, and a delightful pudding for dessert. Each dish was flavorful, and the presentation had a charming touch that made the experience even better. Service: The staff was warm and professional, going out of their way to ensure we felt welcome. Though there was a slight language barrier, they communicated effectively, and our food arrived promptly. Their dedication to hospitality really stood out. Ambiance: This place feels like a genuine gathering spot for the Turkish community, with a unique vibe that’s hard to describe but instantly inviting. Groups of friends were chatting, playing games, and enjoying each other's company. There’s plenty of seating with surprisingly comfortable chairs, and the background TV adds to the relaxed, homey atmosphere. It feels like a slice of Turkey right in the heart of the city! Accessibility: While the entrance could be a bit tricky to navigate, the interior is on one level, with spacious tables that provide ample room for everyone to get comfortable. This spot is a hidden gem for anyone looking to experience authentic Turkish flavors in a friendly, relaxed setting. Whether you're here for a cozy lunch or simply to soak up the atmosphere, it’s definitely worth a visit!

I recently visited Cafe Luka, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. I ordered a dish that was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with authentic flavors. Each bite was a journey to Turkey, with perfectly seasoned ingredients and a wonderful blend of spices. After the main course, I indulged in a cup of Turkish tea and baklava, and it was truly beyond the blue - unforgettable. The tea was rich and fragrant, while the baklava was the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, with layers that melted in my mouth. The warm, welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant, paired with such delightful flavors, made for an amazing culinary experience. If you’re looking for a place to savor the true taste of Turkey, Cafe Luka - is a must-visit!

I was on a business trip to Toronto. I happened to stumble across it on a walk to my hotel. The Turkish is some of the best I have ever had. Very rich in flavor yet smooth. A very lively atmosphere with people playing dominos and cards every. The lady her servered me was very kind and helpful with my experience. I recommend this place to anyone who like a relaxing place to drink and socialize.
