Looking for a cute, classy Turkish restaurant in the heart of Virginia Highlands. This is your…read morespot! I went for happy hour which I highly recommend. It's from 3-6pm Monday through Thursday (I believe). They have $6-8 cocktails and a variety of food in the $5-10 range. The food was all fantastic, as was our waiter. He constantly checked on us, kept the complimentary bread supplied, and gave great recs for both food and cocktails. I love a waiter who explains the menu so you know what you're getting into beforehand. As we were leaving, it was torrentially down-pouring and the host was so kind to let me borrow his umbrella to get to my car. It's rare to find this level of hospitality these days and it made my already great experience here even better.

Not bad but in a city with as much great Middle Eastern food as Atlanta, it only makes sense to…read morereach beyond Truva. Spots I would rather recommend for a nice night out are Delbar, Rumi's, and Yalda. My friends and I tried the Muhammara Dip, the Feta Cheese Rolls (reminiscent of spanakopita but no spinach and in roll form), the Truva Dumplings, and the Iskender Kebab. The Iskender Kebab and the Muhammara were the best of the bunch, but overall I think I was expecting more punch from the spices and greater nuance in the flavors of each dish. The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.

The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection, juicy and also not over cooked. We tried their falafel's, they were freshly made and so yummy that my son ate three (he normally doesn't like falafels). The customer service was great and the restaurant was very clean. Our new favorite place when in the area. The whole experience fantastic. Highly recommend

They recently remodeled and it has a modern but traditional Mediterranean vibe to it that's very homey. The chicken Philly pita sandwich is like a wrap filled with what heaven must taste like. Highly recommend it Everything is made from scratch but they also are fast enough to make it a very convenient work lunch break option. I can't sing praises enough about this place.

When my husband and I went, Taz was available to offer suggestions and answer questions. And you can see the passion he has for sharing his love of food. We were one of three tables who had never been and we were each greeted like new friends. I highly suggest going on the weekend to get the butter chicken on special. My husband loved his lamb kebabs and although he has never liked Hummus before, he nearly licked the plate. Our server Jason was prompt and kind and we are surely going to return. Oh and we noticed that the two folks on what looked like a first date were still there after we left and went grocery shopping! I have the feeling they will both be back too.

It's always lovely to see the brains and beauty behind this place when she comes out, but honestly, without her, the food would not be as amazing as it is, freshly made to order, perfectly!

Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in warm, fresh tortillas. No dryness, no shortcuts, just clean flavor that lets the grill speak for itself. You can tell the chicken wasn't rushed or drowned in sauce to hide mistakes. Now let's talk about the Adana mix grill. This is the kind of plate that makes the table go silent for a minute. Everything was cooked with intention. Smoky, tender, well-spiced meats that tasted like they came straight off an open flame, not a reheated pan. Portions were generous without being sloppy, and every bite held its own. The service was warm, attentive, and unpretentious. Staff actually checked in without hovering, knew the menu, and made solid recommendations. That alone puts Adana ahead of a lot of places. The ambiance ties it all together. Cozy but upscale, relaxed without feeling casual. Great lighting, clean space, and a vibe that works whether you're on a date, with family, or just treating yourself to a good meal. Adana isn't trying to be trendy. It's just focused on doing good food, good service, and good atmosphere consistently. And honestly, that's rare these days. Definitely a repeat visit.

The service is incredible, and the setting is so calm and welcoming, it's the perfect place to enjoy a meal. The food itself is mind-blowing. How does a place manage to taste better than everything around it while still being healthier? I genuinely don't know! The only thing that contains seed oils are the fries, which are fried in vegetable oil but honestly, fries have to be fried, and it's not bad at all. I also want to give a big thank you to the staff, especially Leah, who took my order. She answered all my questions with a smile and made me feel so welcomed. This place is a solid 11/10 in every way. Highly recommend! I posted a review on Google but had to try yelp too, this place is phenomenal.

The ambiance was mostly people waiting for their food, so it is not really a spot where you dine in and chat with people. Definitely more of a grab and go spot. I think the service was fine. I got the Chicken Shawarma Pita with Fries on the side. I thought that the chicken shawarma was both dry and juicy at the same time. I think it could have been marinated better. I liked the pickles inside the pita, but they were a bit too strong so it kind of overpowered the chicken shawarma. Moreover, I wish there was more sauce inside of the wrap. The fries were just alright. Overall, I am not sure that I would come back here again. But I think it is a solid spot if you want a quick fix for Mediterranean food.

If you love authentic Mediterranean and Turkish flavors made with the freshest ingredients -- this one's a must-try. We kicked things off with handcrafted cocktails -- The Martini? Officially on my "every single visit" list. The Smoky Nights - a nice amalgamation of Mezcal and Black Label The Old Efendi Fashioned was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Cold Mezze Board was a stunning collection of flavors -- every bite delivered. The spicy ezme easily stole the show for me. Sigara Börek came out hot and crisp -- the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for. For entrées, the Chicken Shish and Atlantic Salmon were cooked to perfection -- well-seasoned, juicy, and served with delicious accompaniments that tied everything together. Dessert was a sweet surprise -- The Kazandibi (homemade milk custard) was melt-in-your-mouth good without being overly sweet. And the Künefe? Perfectly portioned and every bit as indulgent as you'd hope. A refreshed vibe, authentic flavors, and 20 years of getting it right -- Efendi Mediterranean is ready for its next chapter.

The meat is seasoned beautifully and juicy -- one of the best kebab plates I've had in the area. The hummus starter is creamy, smooth, and flavorful -- perfect with warm pita. It's simple, fresh, and a great way to start the meal before diving into the heavier dishes. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes it great for everything from a casual lunch to a fun dinner night out. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!
