    Fast and efficient take out service, tasty and juicy kebabs especially the chicken kebab,salad is…read morealso fresh. The staff are nice and kind enough to explain the dishes on the menu.

    Decided to try this place out for a weeknight dinner as we were in the neighbourhood. We called in…read moreour order and were told it would be ready in 25-30 min. When we arrived, the smallish restaurant was packed with diners (only about 7-8 table in all) and there was a line up of people who were waiting for their takeout orders. We ended up getting our order 55 minutes after, not 30 minutes as we were told on the phone, so minus 1 star. Since it was our first time trying the restaurant, I ordered more food than we needed for our dinner to share with my in-laws who live nearby; family combo 2 and lamb neck dish. Little did I know that both orders would come with humongous portion of rice, which took us forever to finish. The family combo came with 2 juicy strips of well-seasoned koobideh, 1 skewer of breast and 1 skewer of dark meat joojeh kabob, 4 char-grilled tomatoes and good amount of grilled chilies (not spicy). The lamb neck dish included 3, fall-off-the-bone tender lamb pieces that were impossibly delicious. We opted for the rice with fava beans for this dish and it was super flavourful with addition of dill and other herbs. The overall first experience here was good and I hope to try out more of their offerings soon.

    Food is amazing, but service is non existent…read more Food 5/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance 4/5 Came with a reso for five adults and got seated promptly. The restaurant got busier throughout the night. The restaurant has a beautiful interior and high ceilings. Service here is little to none. Which is unfortunate since their food is so good. After taking our orders we were never checked on. Asked 2 different servers for extra serveware and never got it. Had to ask more than once to get water. Overall the service is BAD. What saves this place is definitely their food, as it's very delicious. Definitely start with their variety of dips for sharing. Here's what we got: Mix Appetizers 5/5 - Came with hummus, baba ganoush, spicy mashed and haydari. All delicious and served with fresh bread. Mixed Pide 5/5 - This was also great for sharing and tasting the variety of pide options. Came with cheese, minced meat, and sausage. Mix Kebab for 2 5/5 - This was more than enough to share with the five of us, as portions are large, especially when you are ordering other sides. A variety of meats including lamb, chicken, beef served with rice and salad. The meal ends with complimentary tea. Overall, delicious spot with great food but just lacks any type of service. So good that I'd still come back for their food.

    First visit to Efendi after driving by this restaurant so many times. I shared the beef doner and…read morethe mixed pide with a friend, and we left feeling stuffed and still had leftovers to pack. The restaurant's modern decor makes it feel elevated, but it's not stuffy or posh inside at all. I've never had Turkish food before, so I can't comment on the authenticity or taste, but I really enjoyed our meal! The pide was like a naan, and it tasted so good with that generous cheese topping and the complimentary yoghurt-based dip. The beef doner was also tasty, and I was not expecting that gigantic pile of meat! Stuffing that beef between the flatbread with some of that yogurt dip, add some pickled red onions, cucumber, & tomato = perfection. Looking forward to my next visit!
