Reviews of Efes Stepney Green
H. B.
Adana has lots of flavours that come through. I ordered a take away this time. I have in the past sat in the restaurant. Always enjoy complimentary bread and dips, and Turkish tea at the end. Bread is provided in take away, they also gave dessert which is on the house every time you order take away, basic dessert and nothing special. I asked for bulgar instead of rice, which could have been tastier. Customer service is good and interior is beautiful. I especially like the pickled jars near the windows for decoration.
N. A.
2nd Time visit in a week. I love this place , love the food and great hospitality from the staff. Very good quality food and very friendly service. Well done, guys . Highly recommended .

We had just come from Stepney City farm. I saw this restaurant when we came from the station. We entered it was empty and had two on the floor.
The food was ok but what we didnt like that at the end a 10% service charge was added to the bill. If service was worth 10% then i dont mind but this just opens a bigger debate of staff knowing the service charge is on the bill so they dont have to put anything into the service and this was our experience.
Definitely not a restaurant we will easily go back to.
A. A.
This place is an amazing Turkish restaurant and definitely worth the hype it gets. The restaurant was very busy when I went but the staff members still made time for my family and made sure we had a pleasant experience. The food was on the pricier side but I guess you’re paying for higher quality food. The food is tasty and amazing. The chops and wings are juicy. The kebab is so flavourful. They have a huge selection of starters for free before the actual meal. The platter was massive and look amazing. The side portions are decent not too small but not massive. The staff members are lovely and check on you to see if you need anything, they even sang to my mum as it was her birthday.
B. M.
We had lunch here while staying nearby recently.A lovely restaurant with a varied menu of authentic Turkish cuisine.The restaurant is elegant and stylish with great service.We chose vegetarian options which were served with a delicious dressed salad dips and the most wonderful warm bread.We had humous,russian salad and several other dishes.All were excellent and freshly made.Would highly recommend.
D. J.
the restaurant was super busy but the food was good. they had few order mistake but was okay.
the bathroom was quite messy
B. C.
The warm homemade bread as starter, passion fruit mocktail, lamb ribs as my entrees. So good~
L. F.
The food is excellent! Staff are really nice. We were offered complimentary salad and bread while waiting for our food which came without too much of a wait. The complimentary tea and sweet treats at the end of our meal were an unexpected treat and delicious. I will definitely be eating here again.
F. K. I.
Used to be much more reasonably priced. But have recently increased the prices while the quality of food has decreased in this specific location, if you want better quality of food visit the Bricklane Efes one, also keep in mind you'll need cash as most of them don't accept card. Other than that I would say its a nice place overall.
A.
The food was lovely and good size portions. A little more expensive than others but it was a better quality so to be expected. The iskender was delicious and the turkish tea is always a bonus. Better off going here than the chicken shops next door!
D. M.
Called on Thursday for a booking on Friday, short notice but the staff especially shakib gave us 5 star service for my friends birthday. They played a song and bought her a slice of cake. Happy lively place, quality fresh food….. we will be back 4 sure
Daisey 😄

Very expensive for bland food. Not the Turkish food I was expecting. Table service is a nightmare. Took forever for the food to come out and when it did it was cold. A platter does not have enough to feed the advertised amount. One waiter staring constantly at our table.which made it very uncomfortable to eat. Was hoping for better but was unfortunately disappointed .
M. C.
I usually go to the one that is on the corner of Brick lane but we decided to come to this one for a change. In total there were 15 in total and we were seated according to the guidelines, The food itself was above average but nothing to shout about, the service was excellent and attentive. Overall we had a wonderful evening and would visit again.
L. s.
Food took quite a bit of time to come. Excellent customer service, the waiters were really attentive. Gave us free orange rice pudding which was nice. Food was standard
L. B.
The food was lovely but the service charge was too expensive. The sad thing is that they charged for the Turkish tea, this is first time I’ve seen anything like this because in every single other restaurant the Turkish tea is free. I spent £100 on food and they didn’t even offer free tea. They added service charge but when I told them to remove it they did but instead they added a bill for the Turkish tea. I payed £2 per cup. It made me really upset.
M. M.
I absolutely loved this place. The waiters were really nice and really took care of us through our visit there. As soon as you take a seat, you'll get a free salad to start with, then your order. The prices are Okay, the plate that i ordered in the picture was 12.5 pounds i think, but the food was Great and fulfilling. The music was nice and we were served tea by the end. I loved everything ^-^
C. T.
This place is so nice. The meat is melt in the mouth and has a distinctive taste. The only problem I have is a can of coke is £2.50 that's so expensive. Efes please bring down the prices if your soft drink as that's day light robbery
D. C.
The food was good, the server fast and nice, but it was quite loud due to the music and the other guests. Therefore only 4 out of 5 stars, neverless I can recommend the restaurant and would visit it again.
D. T.
Good Turkish Restaurant. They have branches other areas. Good food and nice decoration. They have nice Turkish tea and starter. Little bit expensive though. Good to have get together with friends for long time with variety of selections
S. M.
The food in this place is really good. I ordered the higher priced platter. Food quality and quantity for excellent for the price paid. The host (older gentleman) is very friendly and welcoming especially towards younger customers.
I have read the negative reviews and I can honestly say I have not experienced any of these. I have been coming here for a few years and I will continue to do so
L. B.
A bit pricey but food taste good.
P. D.
Nice food, good service. Portions very good so make sure your hungry. They don't serve alcohol but the mocktails were very good and you can BYO
H. W.
Amazing guys in there. So friendly, really made my night tonight whilst collecting a take away after a 3.5 hour drive. Thank you dinner and dessert was delicious. X
C. L.
Pretty Average
A very comfortable, beautifully decorated Turkish restaurant in Whitechapel.
We were shown, promptly, to a lovely table.
The staff were pleasant and helpful.
Our meal arrived reasonably quickly. I ordered a lamb beyti, my friend- lamb ribs. Both were delicious. However, the portion size was most disappointing. Very little meat, just a dash of rice & 1 grilled tomato! The shared salad was also miniscule.
Not good value for the cost of the meal......
My advice- don't arrive at Efes
hungry!
N. M.
Nice restaurant and good service. Very friendly staff. However, lamb wasn't really impressive. I had a better Turkish food in other restaurants.
Z.
Food and service was nice, dishes could have been a little cheaper, do not visit if you're on a budget however overall good experience with this place.
M. B.
Wasn't the best experience I have had here... Only gave 3 stars based on previous visits... This time the food was slightly overdone/burnt, there was no mayonnaise... I mean what will I eat my chips with?
Please try harder I love Efes food but this was below their usual high standards.
Y. M.
Worth checking out if you havent been. Seating and atmosphere is great, service is good. Food was average, presentation was nice. If your used to turkish food you wont be overawed
L. (.
This place was amazing staff was absolutely lovely and so friendly. The food was to die for 10/10 .
A. H.
We had the chef special 1 between 2 of us. Food was nice. I'm not the biggest fan of Turkish food because I think its all the same. Salty and bland meat. However, on this ocassion it was good. Would I pay 60 quid for the meal, not sure, could have had a steak dinner for that equivalent.
K. C.
Efes is a very recognised brand in East London, however, I had never been there! Went for a meal with 3 friends and ordered the big platter, I think around £60! More than enough food to go round for 4 big lads. Go easy on bread and salad (complimentary starters) otherwise you'll struggle with the main food :-)
M. S.
Very rude manager food was ok they don’t have any bar tenders even they are not serving any tea even waiter are not friendly
M. A.
came here today and the food was AMAZING. The service was excellent too. the people there are very nice and hospitable. one of the uncles was so lovely to me and my friend and was very hospitable. he made sure to give me an extra basket of bread too. i would reccomend to get the turkish rice pudding at the end- its so delicious.
100% coming back again.
thank you for the amazing food and service!
A. B.
People are lovely there, but don't know why every time their (red rice) test different sometimes really really good and some times doesn't test anything. Other then that all good
c. e.
Best Turkish restaurant in E1 for a quality takeaway. Mixed chicken / lamb doner wrap with chips is always 10/10!
H. C.
Lovely food and staff are friendly and helpful. Clean and I enjoyed the music!
b. m.
very nice place exellent customer service very nice people went for iftar with the family.
M. T.
Well presented place with friendly and attentive staff. Food was very tasty, although vegetarian options are very limited. Find it with the what3words address ///fresh.across.major
C. B.
Food was ok here, slightly dear compared to the quality of the food. Felt abit uncomfortable as all eyes were on me, no im not being paranoid or big headed, but staffs need to stop starring while they are standing around.
C. R.
Very good address to try Turkish food. Their meat is so tasty !!! I took Adana lamb and it was just so delicious!
M. P.
We had the sharing platter for 6 & it was very good. The BYOB policy is also good.
S. D.
I tried only wraps, lamb shish, chicken shish, doner in the past few months and they were all very good. Some staff members are very nice and polite.
M. B.
This place was very beautiful, clean and the staff were nice. The food was good and didn't take long to come. Maybe they can expand on their dessert selections otherwise it was great.
M. A. M.
+ Excellent food +excellent service + reasonable priced. Ensure you book or arrive early to avoid a long wait.
I. H.
Bloody amazing customer service and even better food
Omds so cool :)
R. J. A.
Amazing food and great staff.. well worth a visit
N. A.
I went to Efes with family. Efes is one of the local Turkish restaurants in Tower Hamlets. The food is good, the prices are fair and the service is great too. I highly recommend Kunafe for dessert, it’s worth the 10 minute wait.
S. V.
Food top level, place clean, atmosfere good
A. A.
We really enjoy.good food.very beautiful service.
M. K.
Great, friendly waiting staff. Polite and professional. Place looks very clean, food is fresh. Highly recommended!

I have visited yesterday with my son , waiters are really heplful and the food they served was amazing and much much better then Sultan Sofrasi 72 Parnell road which is next to my house. im recommending everyone please have a visit EFES oposite stepney green underground station im 100% sure you will love their food thanks.
R. G.
Been meaning to try this place for a while as I've seen a few posts on social media. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the manager with a really warm welcome. He helped us with the menu. The food was lovely. We had starters and main course and I just wish we had room for dessert but we were too full. I can't find any faults with this place. Food, service and atmosphere were great. It's a little gem and while in there, you feel a million miles away from Hanley. It felt like we were on holiday! Will definitely return and can highly recommend.
M. R. R.
Had Xmas meal with work colleagues. Restaurant is clean. Staff were just ok. It seemed like they were quite forgetful at times . One colleague had a bad experience as the menu was not clear on the dish he chose and when he tried to return it, the staff/manager got slightly rude and started swearing in his native language, which my colleague understood but didn't want to make a big deal about it as we were in uniform. Have to add that the prices are overly expensive. Coke is £2.50, add 9n top of that service charge. Basically, whatever dish you order, add another £6-7 on the total.However, the portion size (at least for what I ordered) was very good. I wouldn't go there again but definitely try it if you have never been there. Food is not that bad. Can't say the same about the service or prices though.
S. C.
Very good food. Authenticity and good manners. The values we appreciate the most. Used to go to the Efes in Commercial road that now has changed ownership. But this one in Mile End is equally good.
Surely worth a visit. They also joined the Food to go app for not wasting food at the end of each day. Also this is an added value to their already high standards.
Recommended!!
F. I.
Brilliant service and high quality food. I've just enjoyed with my family. Staff were really comic especially the waiter (Rustam) and made us laugh☺️. I have never gotten such a great pleasure in my entire life. At the end, they gave us complementary tea and some sweet on the house. I am gonna definitely go again with my colleagues. Cheers guys!👍
S. N. T. A.
Service has declined although good food.
The restaurant was not participating in the government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme and they did not offer a reason why. It was an incredibly hot August evening and they did not provide tap water until we requested it half way through the meal. The 'manager' may have the right intentions but his customer service is poor, the other staff are friendly.
H.
Great authentic Turkish restaurant with great staff and even better food
S. P.
Delicious Turkish food. Well made. Prices on average
S. A. H.
Took a friend to Efes for dinner and over all it was a good experience.
We ordered a soups and lamb Iskender Kebabs which is my favourite Turkish food. We also ordered a lemon drink as due to my surprise they didn’t have mojito on that day. 🥴
After a wait of about 20 mins the food arrived. The coup was nice creamy but I felt it was slightly thicker than normal.
The Iskender Kebab was good, the taste of the meat was great, the size of the meat slice was thicker than what you get in Turkey which is good.
But we felt that there was slightly too much oil used. Perhaps more butter would have been better. The taste with butter is just awesome like it’s served in many places in istanbul.
Overall it was a good experience but I think the price was slightly on the higher end. Will recommend for sure!!
S.
• Bit overpriced for what you get.
• Staff act like they're super busy when there's not that many customers.
• Foods nice though.
• Rice isn't the best but the meat/chicken is nice.
• Worth a try, but wouldn't go again.
B.
Great food, pleasant staff, reasonably priced - changed to unlicenced premises sometime during the pandemic but you can bring your own for £2.50 per head corkage - like this place a lot
A. C.
The food was good. However the waiter had a rude tone in his voice when we pointed out that he should not charge us 10 % for service without asking us first.
Their menu states service charge was only for groups of 6 and above. Also, he refused to provide us tea, after asking the manager this was corrected.
A sweet and sour experience.
I. D.
The food is good, but the service is poor!
I asked my meat to be well done and it was served not well done.
The Turkish waitress wasn't happy when I requested her to exchange the Fanta for orange juice. When my desert Baklava was served from the same waitress, she pushed my plate with the sweet desert Baklava, which I caught thanks to my quick reaction. And I was surprised with the remark of the waitress who told me to be careful - instead to say that she is sorry...
V. B.
The chicken kebab amazing but portion are so small for price you pay ,plus the customers service is not good! But food amazing!
I. S.
I loved the food here! The atmosphere is great and the staff is lovely!
B.
It was delicious, thank you turkish abi
D. N.
Food is ok. The adana kabah has to be soft and juicy. I found it to be hard and dry. The waiters forgot to bring an item. Other that it was ok
R. G.
Was ok. Not the best experience. Staff were not really friendly or smiley. Food was ok not as good as the Efes in Whitechapel which I frequent often. I ordered lamb ribs, there was hardly any meat on them. Music was also too loud.
R. K.
Had some equality time and a nice meal with my wife in this cosy restaurant. The food was deliciously prepared by the chef and served by very smart front end staff Shokhib. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
D. S.
Excellent meal & reasonably priced.
Z. B.
Amazing quality of food, the meat was so fresh and tasty! We had a pide bread for starter, literally right out the oven it was delicious. The meat for mains were tender, cooked to perfection, and their chilly sauce was home made and great - wasn't shy on the chilly! Top it up with a tea and dessert. 100% recommended.
t. g.
Pleasant enough meal with fast service
J. H.
Part of a small, successful chain, this spotlessly clean corner restaurant is always busy., and with good reason. The high quality fresh ingredients are cooked to order to make many varied traditional Turkish and Mediterranean standard dishes, Not ambitious haute cuisine, just good, decent well cooked food. Alcohol not served but you can bring your own (corkage £1 per person). Great service and very reasonable prices. Recommended.
J. H.
Went to this restaurant in Mile end road, with my nephew for his birthday. Greeted very warmly, lovely staff, lovely food. Will most definitely go again. X
G. S.
Another great meal from efes, even better because they automatically apply a 15% discount on your order, plus I was able to call the shop to request something on my order, which was no problem for them,.
Only problem was the deliveroo driver couldn't find my flat. Not Efes fault.
K.
Lovely food which you can see being cooked. Prices are very reasonable. You can book tables for large groups to ensure a table but you don't have to. Portion sizes quite large. Only grumble is that last time I went it took a long time to get service at our table and it wasn't even busy!
A. H.
I used to visit Efes a lot previously but recently the quality has dropped slightly and also the portions are quite small now. The chicken is very dry and the meat doesn't have much flavour, especially the ribs. But i love their chocolate baklava and would defo recommend people to try it for dessert.
D. S.
Great chicken shish with rice. The food came quickly and the service was great. The rice was fresh and delicious with a basic, but fresh, salad. The server even picked up on our conversation about how hungry we were and ensured there was extra warm bread on the table while we were ordering our mains.
The Efe's beer is worth a try, a nice honey-based beer which my friends spoke highly of.
Be sure to try the Pides as well.
The only disappointed was in their flexibility. I had wanted to have some doner lamb meat added to my chicken shish order, at whatever additional cost that would entail, and was told that I would need to order doner separately and as a take-out. This just seemed strange to me and an awfully expensive way of going about adding a little extra meat. It was also surprising that they could not just charge it as a mixed kebab or something similar. These expressions of inflexibility which can make someones meal that extra bit special always disappoint me but overall it was a great meal.
J. S.
We had so wonderful dinner... finally something tasty and healthy. You can see how they prepare food... everything is fresh, good quality and clean. Me and my sister felt like a home, thank you so much.
Best wishes from me and Sabina.
C.
The best restaurant near this neighbourhood. Friendly people, welcoming attitude, atmostphere and no need to say about food quality, which is superb. The salad and pickles are always yummy!! The kitchen is open so you can see how they prepare and cook. Obviously, there is right reason why this place is always busy.
k. M.
Great food they have stopped doing alcoholic drinks but you can take your own in moderation but no big deal.
s. f.
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVELY EXPERIENCE IN THIS RESTAURANT, THE LAMB DONOR IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL, I AM ALWAYS OFFERED A DRINK FREE OF CHARGE WHILE WAITING FOR MY FOOD, THE STAFF ARE ALL WARM AND WELCOMING, AND THE PRICE IS REASONABLE AS WELL, I LOVE THE PLACE.
林.
Delicious restaurant in London.Big wrap with lamb and chips,so yummy.
E. G.
The food is delicious and healthy. Also, customer service are amazing
S. A.
Ive eaten at efes a few times. Sometimes by myself, with friends and family. The space can be a little tight if you are coming with prams or large families. Be sure to reserve on the phone if you have a large group. Can be pricy but for this area. Food is decent and the staff are friendly. I have had a few staff who weren't but overall good
i. s.
Please do the same lahmacun that you had two years ago. Don’t buy it from outside. I give three stars just for the kind staff not for the food. For me food deserves only one star!
A. M.
I liked the food, the chicken donner was very nice and I will definitely get it in the future, not so much the lamb donner and the salad was half onions with a little bit of cabbage and a couple of slices of cucumber and a little bit of tomatoes and some lettuce. The bread was really nice and I liked the yogurt dipping , the chilli was too hot for my taste but my husband enjoyed it. The music it's way too loud, like clubbing loud, we had to shout even we were sitting 10 cm apart.
The staff was friendly, the food was good we were a little bit put off by the loud music but we'll return in the future.
T. G.
Consistently excellent. We often get a takeaway from the Canning Town branch, which is good, but having a sit-down meal here take it to a different level.
I can particularly recommend the Adana kebabs and the lamb ribs. We will most certainly be going back.
J. G.
Ok but could be better!
This restaurant could be so much better, I feel because of its popularity the standards have suffered somewhat.
I would usually go for the mixed grill to share with friends but feel it’s overloaded with wings/ribs and less shish.
Food quality is ok but definitely better available and staff/service is often quite slow.
Ok but by no means great.
O. P.
Efes is an incredible place. I don't really know where to start with this review. Firstly the staff truly are what make the experience here. Secondly the food is always perfect. Mr Efes was in on my last visit and what a vibe he has created. Actually tried some Turkish wine on my last visit too and that is certainly worth a try. 5 stars is really an understatement.
A. A.
Halal Turkish restaurant. 3.5 stars out of 5.
Slightly better than average.
Pros
All meat were nice and soft
Salad nicely presented
Friendly and welcoming staff
Nice ambience
Chilli sauce really nice
Cons
Chicken doner extremely salty
Strawberry mojito too sweet full of syrup
Forgot our lamachun
Compulsory service charge
S.
Really tasty and flavoursome food and decent prices. The Mixed Grill was delicious
A.
We had a really nice dinner. Food was very tasty. I saw some negative ratings because of the service ... the service is direct but that wouldn’t bother me. All in all great, will return soon.
R. A.
Great food and wonderful service. BYOB too
M. B.
My name is Simona
I have tried many turkish restaurants and i can say that this is the best turkish restaurant .I can give 5 🌟. Rate is 10 of 10. I ordered Salmon ,Calamari and Prawns.All the food fresh and warm so tasty delicious x
a. k.
I'm regular at that place (mile end), foods very nice, restaurant is clean and a friendly environment... I have noticed few time some staff come out to smoke and then they go in and start the work without washing hands. Price is bit expensive compare to the size of the portion. Last time we had a party there of 16 people, no doubt we enjoyed it...
K. A.
Loves the staff and the Turkish food. Everything was great!
W. S. O.
Nice food and great atmosphere. Had a great time with friends.
A. A.
Thank you for the food you gave us so we could break our fast while we were waiting for our orders. You guys are really kind! May Allah bless you all
H. M.
Homemade lemonade was nice. Good standard Turkish kebabs. Good decor and staff were friendly. We were a large group and they asked how well done we wanted our kebabs.
T. C.
As always, Efes serve good, fresh food and stay a reliable place for a satisfying take away. If you go there to pick up your food, the guys serving are friendly and welcoming and if you eat there, the same
Been ordering from or visiting there for a while now
T. C.
Great service, the best grilled meat I've tasted and a very good price for what you get. I accidentally left my water bottle here and one of the staff members tried to keep it for me, but due to time I couldn't retrieve it before they threw it out - greatly appreciated nonetheless!
S. R.
I live just around the corner from here. I come here often and I must say that this place is fantastic. The food is quality; the service is always good; and it's always consistent. I would recommend this to large groups or even just a lovely table for one.
G. G.
Just got back from this place. Felt I needed to leave a review after a disappointing dinner. Ordered a cold meze and mixed shish. Cold meze did not come with bread so we asked for it and they give us one plate of bread that will need to enough for the meze platter.
The mixed sheesh was disappointing, flavor was lackluster. Did not taste very good and portions were tiny. We regretted going there, we normally drive to Hala in N4 1LG, portions are very generous and tastes very good. Hala has Turkish customers and authentic food. Efes caters for majority non-Turkish people selling rubbish food.
A. T.
Best restaurant in the neighbourhood. Quick and friendly service. Delicious complementary salad and bread as soon as we hit the table. and everything we ordered tasted great! Highly recommend the Saksuka and the Garlic Sausage Pide
G. W.
Great authentic Turkish food from lovely people. The owner jahit was very accommodating to our special requests. Th am you very much x
J. C.
Efes is a really nice and affordable Turkish restaurant in East London. We had a post wedding lunch at Efes and the food and atmosphere was great. Importantly for us, the staff were more than happy to accommodate our extra requirements.
A. A.
Best Turkish food in the area. Can't go wrong.
I. U.
A very nice Turkish restaurant, lentil soup is delicious. It is super busy always... no wonder as the food is amazing
O. A.
It was very good restaurant and delicious food such as Grill and I most like the mix grill kebab.
G. B.
authentic Turkish cuisine! Nice place to have dinner!
F. A.
Amazing food. Perfect setting. The best Turkish I have had in London. The extremely attentive staff especially the owner Mr Naveed.
Would definitely be going again.
a. m.
Such an amazing restaurant. Lovely food and atmosphere. I dont know what other people are talking about but the service is promt and friendly. The waiters/waitresses are really kind and attentive, they really take care of you and make sure youre well looked after. Food was brilliant. Will definetly be back!
M. E.
Turkish family visiting on a quite weekday.
1. Tap water took 10mins to arrive as the three waiters were busy talking, how long does it take to turn on a tap?
2. Food was ok, Pide hardly had meat in it, compared to the Efes we normally go to in commercial road.
3. Had the cheek to charge service charge, why so in an area like Stepney? We didn't pay it.
4. Tea was bitter.
The only positive we found was the tall Eastern European waitress who was amazing, if the whole restaurant was run by more of her, it would be a great place.
Message to the Efes group owners, when you expand, try and maintain the quality of food and staff.
M. A.
Very good food. Service is great, staff strive to make sure the customer is happy!
V. D.
Great, authentic Turkish food. Great value for money, too. Free bread, dips and salad while you wait for your order to be prepared.
I recommend the Iskender, a Lamb Doner on a bed of diced bread, topped with yoghurt and Anatolian sauce.

My favorite Turkish restaurant ever! Is always our place for family celebrations. The food is amazingly delicious, fresh and tasty... and the service is always 5 stars. Highly recommended!
N. R.
Ordered via a site that has reduced price so you collect late and they randomly choose your food
It was meat kofta and potatoes with salad and bread
Not bad for £3!
It was fresh and filling
Would I go again or.order
Yes
S. D.
We had takeaway mixed grill from menu which was overcooked and burnt adana kebab.
s. c.
The best Turkish restaurant I've been to outside of Turkey, everything tasted proper
M. F.
Food tasted nice, a bit too salty though! Also they charge you for service charge and don't inform you of this! So we realised after we had paid, it's not acceptable to charge people for something that they don't need to pay and can choose not to pay! Therefore, will not be going there again.
M. S.
great taste and food as usual like all efes ... well cooked lamb chops, wings and kabab. There Service was good .
m. y.
Not great vegetarian options on the menu but cooked something special when we asked. Very nice and good service

I used to love this place, I visited the site in Commercial road and I've been really disappointed.
Menu cart was different from the other Efes
Food wasn't great as usual
Customer service was rude and they looked quite annoyed that they needed to work.
I don't will come back there for sure and I'm not suggesting to anyone.
For this quality I could go to any Turkish restaurant in the street because the quality awill be the same
W. F. A.
Excellent food. Only fault is the portion which was slightly on the small side for me. That said service is brilliant and the ambience is sound
A. S.
Loved it. The food, tasted abit gamey but still very good range of different cuts and ways of preparation
L. T.
Firm favourite, always consistent and good, the Stepney green branch has a pretty good wait staff especially the blonde girl, I turned up with about 15 people in tow without a reservation, (post capoeira event) she managed to seat us all and manage separate billing as well as being an attentive host, I'd give them 5 stars just for her skills as serving staff but the food is also very good, I would recommend.
B. D.
All over great, staff friendly and attentive, regards portions they are exactly how should be as no one can eat all,fresh fish and meat, will be back!!
M. C.
Great find while out walking one evening. Does takeaway and dine in options. We had their special in the restaurant. Really good Turkish food. Would strongly recommend and will be back again.
T. A.
Food was great !!
B. J.
Best restaurant in the neighborhood. The lamb is perfectly grilled every time. Surprised to see the negative reviews here, I eat here all the time and always have excellent service!
O. T.
Food and seating are great, my only problem is how big the portions are. There is no way I could have finished my plate and in the end I just felt bad for wasting food.
O. H.
Excellent food qaulity n quantity and brilluant service. Very clean n right place for family dinners n get together. Keep it up. Must visit
M. S.
I went with a group and we all were spoilt for choice and staff were helpful and I haven't stopped mentioning it to friends I'd love to visit again the only trouble I feel you'd need friends with you but even on your own you'd be spoilt for choice
E. F.
Our local go to. Reasonably priced and always fresh. Service can be hit and miss but we takeaway so it hasn’t bothered us too much.
T. A.
Food was good and waiting times were decent. Not too long. Also reservation was made prior to visit and staff were kind enough to allow us to change seating area.
A. J.
Food is always great, however when you order take away sauces seems to me spoiled. But if you work nearby, you can call them and preorder smth for collection.
K. E.
Amazing Restaurant with amazing staffs and fantastic food. Very good quality for the money! Ethan and his service team were very fantastic. A must recommend for everyone.
m. a.
food was ok now the issues had to ask for salad and sauces, the old man waiter refused to give a tea he said they are closed while customers were inside then to surprise the table in front gets a tea then the waitress brang us 2 teas when I asked again , 2nd issue there was a charge of £2.80 I questioned it to the old man waiter who goes oh this is our tips people give I replied I give you tips if I want to it clearly says on the menu service charge for 6 people and over not for two of us and we was charged for tea
A. I.

Was in a hurry, so only time for a meze. Whilst the place was clean and efficient, the meze consisted of variations on salad and nothing else, unlike any meze I have ever had. I came out feeling like a rabbit!
