We really enjoyed our visit to EFES. As always we received a warm welcome, without exception the team here are very friendly and attentive. The food was great, and our daughter the Birthday girl received a piece of chocolate cake, accompanied by the whole team singing and clapping to make the occasion extra special. Looking forward to visiting again with our friends in December.

The service was excellent, and the food looked great. But I found the meat very bland and if they didn't have sauces to compliment the meal then it would have very bad and not worth the money at all. Better Turkish food places for fraction the cost.
