Is not hard to fall in love with the food here. The portions are generous and the staff is very friendly. It just become my favorite place from my first visit. Now bigger and with a greater variety of drinks too. Also had like to mention the quality of lamb is amazing. And that coming from somebody whom ate no lamb for over 35 years 😬. If you won't like the lamb here when you'll ever like it 😊 Keep it to the same level of service guys

Staff members are very polite and Friendly I like service Mr kirtan gave us he is very polite to us. And my friends enjoyed food a lot rather then me. I personally recommend increase options for vegetarian as well. What I eat that one is good. But they have non vegetarian options a lot and it was best in dunstable. We had fun a lot.

A Delightful Dining Experience at EFES BBQ From the moment we stepped into EFES, we were greeted with warmth and a welcoming ambiance that set the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and elegant, with cozy seating and subtle lighting that made us feel at ease. The food was exceptional, with each dish expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. The King EFES special was a standout, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The ingredients were fresh, and the seasoning was spot on, elevating every bite. Kids enjoyed the food at EFES, and it was really tasty. Service was attentive, adding to the overall great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious and memorable meal.

Very kind staff ! We had a misunderstanding, we ordered some beef and they served us lamb, by mistake! We told them and they replaced the food in 5 minutes! Because of this minor fault, they didn’t charge us for all the drink we had! I was impressed to see this kind gesture!

Loved the food. But there were 10 of us and the bill had 19 meals on it meaning it was £150 more than it should have been. Staff adjusted the bill as soon as we pointed it out. Luckily we'd been warned to check as we weren't the first to have this done.

Not the best Turkish restaurant. My partner and I order the Efes sharing platter for two. For the price of £79, the portion size was very small. A platter with a ridiculous amount of spoons inside and a small bowl of salad. The bulgur was overcooked and the lamb chops were not cooked properly….

Obviously my feelings about the atmosphere are subjective. The service was fine, but and for me it’s a big but, it was outrageously overpriced. Perfectly good food, but I wouldn’t expect to pay more than half the price that you charge. I really hate leaving a bad review and clearly I’m in a minority because astonishingly, the place was packed. I guess people can choose what they want to spend their money on and you must be doing something right so best of luck to you.

Disappointing Experience After a Great First Visit I’ve had an amazing experience at Efes in the past, but unfortunately, this time it was a complete letdown. Our waiter seemed disorganised, inexperienced and inattentive. He got every part of our order wrong, and we had to repeatedly chase him just to place our order. We were left waiting for long periods between each step of our meal. When it was time for the cake, we were faced with further delays. We also had to wait further for utensils- all of which felt like we were an inconvenience rather than valued customers. To top it off, when we asked for the excessive service charge to be removed, the waiter insisted that it was "mandatory law," which was clearly a lie and not worth the poor service. I’m really disappointed with how things turned out this time, and I hope they can make improvements moving.

Went last night.Overall the restaurant was neat and clean but the food was overpriced. They serve Turkish bread which isn't even turkish bread its thin nan slices. We ordered Efes platter which says its enough for 4 people which is not its for 2 people. The portions was so small. Lamb chops are not tender at all its not properly cooked they were raw. Chicken wings were not cooked properly either its literally Red. 🤮🤢 And when we complained to the waiter he walked off Don't even listen at all Not recommended at all.

Here’s the harshest possible review based on your input: “Worst Experience in Dunstable – Absolute Disaster from Start to Finish” If I could give negative stars, I would. This is, hands down, the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I decided to host 25 clients at this place, expecting at least a basic level of professionalism, but what I got was utter embarrassment. Let’s start with the staff—rude, unprofessional, and completely uninterested in providing service. From the moment we walked in, it was clear they had no clue how to handle a group booking. I went to the restaurant 2 hours before with every single order, labeled with names, starters, and mains, to make things easier for them, but they still managed to screw it up. Orders were wrong, delayed, or swimming in oil. The food? A total joke. Plain rice with absolutely no seasoning—I could have cooked better at home in my sleep. One of my clients had to send their meal back because it was literally drenched in oil. She didn’t even want anything else because the place had already ruined her appetite. Lamb and rice? I’ve had more flavor and effort in a microwave meal from the corner shop. When I tried to give constructive feedback, the waiter had the nerve to get upset, as if I wasn’t justified in pointing out their failures. The service charge? An absolute scam. You’d get better service from a vending machine. And let’s talk about the atmosphere—falling apart, dirty, and depressing. This place has no business calling itself a restaurant. I even joked that McDonald’s gives you more value for your money, and honestly, I wasn’t kidding. The food there would have been an upgrade compared to the bland, oily disaster they served here. In short, avoid this place at all costs. It’s not just bad—it’s a complete waste of time, money, and energy. For a group booking, they proved they couldn’t handle even the basics of hospitality. Never again. Final Verdict: If you’re looking to ruin your evening and embarrass yourself in front of guests, this is the place for you. For everyone else, save your money and sanity. Dunstable deserves better than this.

Absolutely gutted, came here 2 years ago and it was great, Well fast forward to Today it was absolutely rubbish, service was dire quality of food was even worse but the portion sizes was Embarrassing for the money paid, Ordered the large ADANA kebab and it was so small god knows what the medium whould of been, no side salad no veg, no cracked wheat, a small slither of bread size of a finger the rice was straight out of a uncle Ben's pack and you could count the chips on one hand. The service was dire and whenever we called the waiter it would turn into a argument for some simple service or to correct the order. I would be embarrassed to run a place like this or recommend it to anyone. Obviously a scam as no business person would hold their head up high and be proud of this place. Better places to go nearby with better value and service as well, Do not book this place unless you want a rubbish dining experience. Anyone with any real dining knowledge should avoid this place and if the owner is worth their salt should reply to this post explaining what's gone wrong.

So where do we start? The restaurant itself is nice inside however, can be a trap. Now it says is Turkish right??? But run by Indian nationals... Prices ....well very very high , a mixed kebab with rice ( instead of the fries I ordered) is 39 pounds ! yes , you heard me ! Then the waiters forgets about you and goes to their favourite clients and when you try to ask them something , they will tell you off. The waiters , again mixing orders or bringing someone else to take your order cause....they cannot remember what you ordered! The total bill for two people , higher than London , very close to Florida US! Also do not forget the service charge of 15 pounds! When challenged, the waiter looked at us and said " well that's mandatory and you have to pay!" Definitely a trap , do not recommend!

It was poor service in general. Food was not testy. There were many workers walking around the restaurant but no one cared about the guests. I ordered King Efes Special for 4 and I was hopping that what can go wrong with it, but the meat was full with fat and the portion was enough for 2, not 4 people. The drink were always delivered late and not accurate. The atmosphere was not friendly and welcoming. I don’t see myself ever going back there again.

Here’s a more concise and elegant version: This used to be my favorite Turkish restaurant, but my recent visit was disappointing. Portion sizes have shrunk, quality has dropped, and to top it off, a £25 service charge was added without prior notice. They falsely claimed it was mandatory by law, which it isn’t, leaving a bad impression. Paying over £185 for three people felt unjustified for a meal that no longer lived up to its reputation.

My sole reasoning for giving them a 3* is the price, sharing platter for the starters (MEZZE) & sharing platter for 4-6 people (MAINS). Effes BBQ 3 years ago was the best Turkish restaurant in my humble opinion. When you got a sharing platter starters it would be sharing! It was full of delicious starters. Now I would say they just dotted with a large spoon cold / hot starters on a large plate & labelled it, “sharing”. For the price, sorry not worth it at all. They never did this a few years ago. A few years ago sharing would mean SHARING. As prices go up, from time to time, that is understandable. But paying for dotted starters is not something that’s acceptable. Now mains! For the price again, not worth it at all. The quality of the food amazing, I can never dispute that, but the quantity for what you’re paying no yes! I recently went to another restaurant out of Luton/ Dunstable & the price difference for the amount of food for X amount of people definitely made me think something isn’t right. The maths is not mathing. 🙄 Turkish tea is 10/1000000 cannot complain, always full of flavour & tastes sooo amazing. The waiters / staff are always so welcoming & kind & so good, but what lets Effes down is the portion size & the price that goes with it. Our bill was a hefty one, but next time I think instead of sharing platters it would be better to get individual meals instead. I would still recommend this dining place, I cannot fault them in quality!

We’ve eaten here a few times over the past few months. It’s always been disorganised, but the food has made up for it. Last night - Saturday- was disastrous. There appeared to be only two members of staff working in the restaurant, which was virtually full. We (a family of four) sat down to eat at 5.45pm. Even checking in was a struggle. The desk wasn’t manned, staff literally running from bar to restaurant. Another couple also waiting to be seated said ‘this doesn’t bode well’. We managed to order reasonably quickly. There were several large tables and (apparently) two functions. The starters of two garlic breads came fairly promptly, but were soggy and undercooked. Our mains were sat at the restaurant pass for some time, under heat lamps. My fish and chips was cold and the chips inedible. My son’s sausages were also cold and his chips inedible. There was no check back by staff - they simply didn’t have time - so we left most of our food. It’s such a shame that Oakman haven’t staffed the Woburn properly. It’s a great venue in a great village, but it will be a long time before we go again. Ironically they emailed a survey request to my husband this morning ‘tell us about your visit!’ From past experience, this is futile.
