A few of us recently visited EFES last weekend as none of us had previously experienced a Turkish restaurant and wanted to try something different. This restaurant has something for everyone, including vegetarian options, which is what some of us had. The food is amazing, freshly cooked and accompanied with great host and atmosphere, really made our night. I would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Fabulous food and great service ! Due to its handy location it's perfect for a pre-theatre bite to eat. Visited with two young children and there was a good selection of children's favourites for them too as they weren't feeling particularly adventurous ! Staff also really lovely with them.

Great food on offer. The mixed mezze platters to start were fantastic, full of flavour and variety. Lamb special wrap for main was excellent. The sauce inside made it! Only let down was the first pint of beer.

Had heard good things about this place and was not let down. The food was fantastic - every one of our party of four enjoyed it. I had the King Prawns to start and they were fantastic and then the Lamb Guvec for main which was just as good. Staff were cheerful and friendly. Will definitely be going back!

The customer service was exceptional. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. They have us complimentary Turkish bread which was delicious and asked how we were and what our plans were for the evening! They came over a few times to check if everything was OK and I noticed they were the same with the other customers in the restaurant and were lovely with the children who were with their parents. The food was lovely and arrived quickly. On the way out the staff shook our hands which I thought was fantastic!!

Food delicious. No complaints about food. Ignored most of the night for bigger tables. Obviously the chance of bigger tips. Still waiting for the bread we ordered and we weren't even asked if we would like deserts. Disappointed as I love the food but won't return

This is the second time I've visited this restaurant and will definitely be going back again!! We ordered from the lunch time special and it was delicious, and being able to have 2 starters meant I could try something different. The meals were beautifully presented and really good size portions. The waitress was very attentive and polite. Love this restaurant

Very good ambiance and decoration. Very friendly staff without being intrusive. Good choice of food which was very tasty and beautifully cooked. I had a glass of the Turkish red wine which was very nice. My friend and I opted for a main and a dessert each but the staff member serving us dropped off a basket of Turkish bread and some dips which were lovely and we couldn't resist eating it all up! We had Turkish coffee which was tasty but had quite a lot of "sludge" half way down the cup and the only other drawback is that, on a cold, wet, miserable night, there was a cold draft blowing on us from somewhere otherwise I would have given this full marks. Definitely planning a return visit!
