Efes Bbq in Tendring

I haven’t enjoyed kebab for many many years, I find most kebab places in the uk to extremely greasy and flavourless. I experienced a high quality kebab place for the first time near London and it was delicious. I would say that this kebab shop is as good or even better than the food I got in London. I would highly recommend. The only place in clacton you’ll get Donna meat that actually has any flavour. And the price is very reasonable. I had it delivered to my house but I feel for the best experience straight of the charcoal grill would be the way to go!

I ordered some chips online and walked to collect them immediately—no more than 3 or 4 minutes. When I arrived and mentioned my order, they quickly handed me a bag, which seemed suspiciously fast. When I opened the bag around the corner, the chips were soggy and stone cold. There’s absolutely no way they could have been freshly cooked and gone cold in the short time it took me to walk there. It was clear they’d given me chips from a previous order that hadn’t been collected instead of making fresh ones. This was especially disappointing as their chips are usually the best in the area, particularly their seasoned chips. I’ve always enjoyed them, but after this experience, I’m not sure I’ll be returning. I suggest others think twice before ordering if they don’t want to risk getting leftovers instead of fresh food!

Lovely food with generous portions also at a great price. It was delivered pretty quick too. Highly recommended if your in the area

we come in and had a few take aways and they have been really nice. it can be slow waiting even if you go in your in a q but for the food its worth it.

Kebabas were juicy and tasty, I loved their yogurt dip quite impressive.

The food arrived very quickly it was piping hot and totally delicious

Ordered two chicken shish all packed separate as I have bowl cancer, potion of Donna meat cooked more, (meat is cheap and was horrible) first lot came with chillie sauce all over it so we couldn’t eat it, and the chips had chillie sauce all over it… so I rung them and explained and he argued with me…. Told him again and he goes come and pick it up… I said I want the chips and Donna meat delivered I’m not coming to pick it up again…. Not having a man shout down the phone at me or argue with me. Daughter liked hers flaffal and rice

Absolutely delicious! Meat was on point, such good value!

We have had a meal delivered this evening. Couldn’t fault it, delivered in 30 minutes food piping hot and tasted wonderful. Would definitely be back.

Honestly the best kebab shop around in Clacton amazing staff they always do my meat well done when i ask for it.. can't fault them.. Lovely people lovely atmosphere honestly if you're gonna get a kebab get it from here its amazing xxxx

I looooove Effes!! Get princess chicken everytime i come to town! Tried some of their beed doner the other day too and it was banging!

Absolutely dreadful and had to wait ages. Never again! The garlic mayonnaise was like water and very spicy. Clueless place.

Rock hard pitta. Chicken so over cooked, it was brittle. Get your act together guys!!

You must be mad with these prices😂

Without doubt the best tasting kebab in Clacton.

I went here as it was highly scored on Trip advisor. I had a chicken shish takeaway. The presentation in the metal tray was really good. The meal was absolutely amazing with plenty of it. I would certainly go back there when I am back in Clacton.

Ordered from here. Had bad guts the next day. Looked up the food hygiene rating. 1 star. Never again. At least it is good for losing weight.

Really tasty food, by far the best Turkish we've had in the UK. The only takeway in Clacton where the quality remains consistent.

The chicken shish was off the charts. The cuss cuss and rice combination was so flavoursome as it had absorbed the flavours of the tikka. The lamb ribs were to die for. Highly recommended. Great staff with good advice.

Has been a while since we have order from here when it first opened it was great but this time not great. rice was bland and undercooked the onion rings looked like they was cooked in old oil. The meat didn't taste great.Hopefully it just just a one off as we have had good food from here before but this time I think maybe the last time I order.

Very good falafel wrap,vegetarian kebab , vine leaves , would recommend and will be back

Great place with the best kebab in the area. You can see that everything is fresh, which is a big plus for me.

The best takeaway in clacton every thing is explained the prices are excellent for the food as its freshly cooked whilst you wait the staff are very friendly there is nothing negative to say about this takeaway

I've been this place 2 days ago its best food I ever had in my life very clean and very friendly staff 10 out of 10 best

Best kebab shop in Clacton on sea I recommend to anyone try kebab in this place

Three hours after ordering on a Saturday evening resulted in no food arriving with extremely pathetic excuses from staff. EFES has lost a good customer, worst ever experince in my 12 years in Clacton.

First time ordering a £45 family meal as we’re new to the area. Food was not great, all meat had a funny taste to it. White rice was hard and unflavoured; we wasnt given cous cous. The fries were either over cooked or had been sitting for a while. The pitabread, salad, and sauces were the best part of the meal. Overall the food had no seasoning and flavour. Ordered through uber eats and it took over an hour to arrive. Portions were also small. Maybe they aren’t used to big orders as I would love to give this place a second chance

Ordered delivery for a treat, special for 2-3, arrived very fast. However, only one lamb chop. Lots of bones with not much meat on them. Rice was fine. Couscous was very nice. Ordered side of flatbread, very good sized portion and delicious. Realistically though it was not worth £45. If I had ordered tandoori mixed grill from an Indian takeaway I could have had 4 portions for that price and there would have been a lot more meat. Don't get me wrong it was quite nice and most of it was tasty and enjoyable. But I don't think I will be buying this dish again.

Great place ! Travel around the UK with work and this is up with the best kebabs around !

Best kebab shop in town I recommend to everyone

Food is prepared on the premises and is always fresh and hot when delivered...amazing food, you will not be disappointed.

Sadly tonight’s dinner was late arriving (10 minutes) and everything was cold, chips were overcooked (dark brown). Shame I always order from here & have never before now had any issues 😩

Lovely delicious kebab best in clacton

Lovely food best customer service brilliant foods

Amazing food. Best in the area. Always fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

Best Turkish food about! The meat is so good don’t taste cheap meat like you do at a kebab shop and the flavours you get are just wow! 5*

Great food, beautiful flavours cooked to perfection, would recommend

Took an hour and a half to get to me and my kofte was tasteless. Disgusting.

Absolutely disgusting joke of a place, the food had no taste, the kofte wasn't even cooked, the delivery was due for 18:30 didn't turn up until 19:40, called up and the turk was rude as anything demanding for me to bring it to the shop so I could prove it was tasteless and undercooked I told them I don't drive therefor I can't bring it to the shop and his response was "That is your problem, therefore I can't do anything about it" Absolutely disgusting!!!! Funny how when they first opened it was the nicest place in clacton then they made there money and now it's absolutely c*ap!!! Typical turk

Had a chicken donor and it was banging.

Large order for family birthday meal, around £80, was not up to scratch unfortunately. Not the same standards we are used too from this establishment. Doner didn't taste right, chicken was dry. Should have complained there and then but it's embarrasing when everyone has gathered and the food is sh*t. Dont let this happen again.

Best kebab in clacton. Food is so tasty and amazing.

On holiday at clacton on sea and fancied a kebab EFES BBQ was recommended by the caravan park they were not wrong the service and the food was excellent

The food was delicious and the staff helpful. They have two tables outside to sit and eat.

Best takeaway around, always fresh and tastes amazing. Nice one efes .

We had a takeaway from here. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. This is definitely the best Kebab place in Clacton-on-Sea. To my delight they also do falafel kebabs and wraps & the Turkish delight is out of this world mouthwatering!

1st and last time of using this restaurant. I wouldn't not recommend this place.

We had a great experience to eat , food was delicious with big portion. Lamb and chicken shish just awesome. Definitely will come again.

Best of the best, incredible every time! Always cooked fresh, beautiful food & service!

The food was amazing especially doner. Very friendly staff too. Highly recommended

We were politely greeted upon arrival, shown great customer service throughout and were even given recommendations when we couldn’t decide what to choose from. Overall the business is friendly and wholesome, and the food was amazing! We travelled from Ipswich just to try this, the lamb was fresh, juicy and saucy, the rice was flavoursome and the salad was fresh and vibrant. We will definitely be coming back again 😌

Got food with my brother today it was the best food I've had in Clacton thanks efes

Not your average kebab it’s the best one. lots of flavour and good service 10/10best food in clacton

First time I tried and did not disappoint great staff delicious food can’t wait to try some more of there great food.

Ordered on the app - it said 25 minutes. I ended up getting to location and then waiting a further 20 minutes. Hardly any communication to let me know it was delayed and no sorry for the wait. Last time I order from here sadly.

Just had one of the best meals so far this year. Great food at a great price. Quality is excellent, my wife and I would highly recommend you try. Thank you Efes keep up the good work. See you soon.

100% the best kebab takeaway in Clacton, not just kebabs, lamb chops and a whole lot more..

I have tried different dishes in this restaurant several times and have always experienced friendly service and delicious, fresh, deliciously prepared food. I will definitely go back there.

Doner kebab is very fatty and not very nice

10 out of 10..food was top quality and delivery on time,working away from home and being here 3 weeks so had alot of takeouts,glad i found here,this place is 100% best around.

Really disappointed. Spent £6.50 on a burger, no salad or sauce was provided, the bun was soggy and the burger was dry. Felt like I was eating a microwave Rustlers burger from Tesco. A shame more effort wasn’t put in like some of their other dishes.

Recommended by someone in St Osyth, Our first order last night Arrived bang on time, Polite delivery Man The Food was very very tasty, Everything was absolutely brilliant meat was tender, rice and cous cous same tasty Would highly recommend, Keep up the good work guys

Ordered princess chicken and arrived with no rice or couscous 1 small pot of chilli sauce and 1 garlic mayonnaise between 4 people 1 hour 3/4 to deliver

Please just keep doing what you do. Fresh delicious food. Very good portions very good price. Our go to for a takeaway. Few and far betweem kebab places like this.

Lamb shish ordered with side of couscous and rice included, alongside the most freshest of bread.

I have waited 1hour and 50 minutes for one meal that still is waiting to be delivered.. i rang the restaurant to see where there food is as they told me it would be delivered in 60 minutes when I placed the order. When I rang up too ask is the food being delivered they told me it normally takes 90 minutes after being rude to me on the phone they have NO customer service

Had a kebab from here tonight for the first time I have to say it has to be the best kebab I have had in years

Best Turkish period! I travelled whole of Cyprus looking for food like efes or better and nothing came near.. If u want to treat yourself money well spent here.. Always recommend.. The only way this place would be better if there was a free drink included when you buy mixed platters.. Going again tonight 👍👍keep up the good work

Real food, I have been waited for so long for this real food . Every bite I have eaten it’s so much flavour. It’s feels taste of turkey without travelling to turkey. Worth it to visit your place Ayden & the team . Definitely visit you again.

I gave a low rating on atmosphere as I found this place to be unsuitably small for dining. The fact that the delivery driver was coming in and out constantly didnt help with the heat. I also gave the service a low rating due to the fact there was no real designated waiter to serve our table. We were served by two men, one from the front desk and another who came out from the kitchen. They were friendly and accommodating though. It is situated in a rather built up urban area so I struggled to find somewhere to park. Ended up parking a few streets away. The extra charge for dining in is not worth it, better to order a takeout as the food was fresh, and delicious!

The best and cleanest place you are looking for 👌 go and enjoy it without thinking of another place 🤎 we liked it very much, the food is amazing.. the staff are very good and friendly, Aydın chef, you are something else😎 you gave us a nice day, thank you ❤❤ those who come to you will never regret it, I'm glad to have you EFES BBQ 👏👏👏👏

I have nothing but praise for EFES BBQ! We had such a lovely dining experience, our meals were delicious, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Special thanks to Aydin for the great service and for making our evening special! I would highly recommend!

Always great food and friendly staff never have we had a bad meal

I recommend! Soooo delicious food. Looks and taste very good.

Great food, friendly staff. Had a lovely grilled lamb as always. Would definitely recommend.

Had a really good meal with really good service staff friendly. Eating in area needs to be bigger.

This has to be my favourite restaurant in Clacton-on-Sea, the food staff and atmosphere are fantastic try it once and you will be back time and time again. I'm lucky as I only live 2 minutes wall from Efes but delivery is still quick all around clacton.

Ordered a mixed meat kebab with spicy sauce. Delivery early which was great. The mixed meat kebab consisted of 2 small pieces of what tasted like chicken. No other meat at all The rest was made up with salad and mayonnaise - was so disappointed. Chips were tasty.

WOW!!!! So tonight we ordered the Efes special for £40 oh my days it was outstanding!!!! Have never experienced flavours like this other than on holiday. Excellent service great value and way too much food for a couple. Thank you so much and will definitely see you again soon

Absolutely lovely, tasty food 😋

Our no-brainer new favourite! Terrific food, friendly staff and great service, even though they were clearly rushed of their feet. Recommended highly.

Wow. What an amazing meal. The food is absolutely fantastic. Large portions of food and very good quality - salad was fresh and crispy, and the meat was so tender, plentiful and cooked to perfection. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and efficient - nothing was too much trouble. Very reasonably priced. There is a really nice atmosphere. Thank you

literally keep it as is with the Crunchy cheesy wrap, it's the best thing I've EVER had, it is takeaway as it's finest. Clacton has never been so blessed with a takeaway, if this place is EVER to disappear it is at fault of Clactonite's not knowing what is truly good. It is genuinely so good it shouldn't exist here.

Could not love this restaurant more! The best tiger prawns, seabass and complimentary bread and dips to start. Thank you so much to Jemma and Freddie for making us feel so welcome. Your friendliness and amazing service is unparalleled. We look forward to visiting you again VERY soon 🥰

Words simply cannot express how professionally talented EFE's truly are. EVERYTHING is so fresh and extremely tasty! We have ordered before, and we will certainly order again. As a former sous chef and connoisseur of food, I recommend this place to absolutely everyone. Please give it a try!

We have had efes many times and will continue to return, the food is always top quality and extremely tasty. We’ve found that it’s best to collect as the food is always piping hot and fresh.

Food was exceptional chicken and lamb cooked to perfection.The rice and salad totally fresh delivered on time 2nd week running on takeaway simply amazing you must try this takeaway FANTASTIC!

Wow just wow! Best lamb shish I've ever had. Sat down and ate outside. Definitely would recommend. 5 star all the way.

This restaurant was the best in the area, sadly to say it’s now going downhill. Every time I order food, the portions get smaller and smaller. The kebabs use to come with grilled veg on top, but sadly they’ve disappeared.

Efes all branch is very quality and popular They busy always Best food service in essex

My boyfriend and I had food from here this evening. Wow it was delicious. We’ve had a kebab from clacton in the past and it was poor. No decent salad, just the cheap cucumber, tomato, iceberg lettuce and white onion. It was awful and we binned most of it. The food we had tonight was delicious and we were very impressed. It’s definitely our regular now. The meat was delicious and cooked perfectly. It came with Turkish bread, rice and a pot of salad. My boyfriend got chips with his. If you like good quality food, this is the place for you.
