“ It was an amazing dining experience at Efes today. It was my first time visiting the place, and I was impressed with the food and overall service. The menu consists mostly of traditional turkish plates, out of which I would recommend their ribs and lahmacun. Their starters were generous in size, bread was provided twice and the staff was quite attentive to our request. I would say this place is on the moderate-expensive side of the market, but the quality justifies it. The finished plates below are an example of a good food. Recommended ”
“ It's probably the best Turkish place I have been to in London. The ambiance and atmosphere of the place are good, with very good service. The beauty of Turkish places are the million side dishes they bring for free along with the soft and succulent breads. This place surely does not disappoint on that front. Each and every dish we ordered on the menu was fantastic. I think you just can't go wrong with any dish at this place. Recommended dishes: Turkish pizza Lamb beyti Cold mezze platter ”
