Absolutely fantastic experience at Efes Grill! The portions were incredibly generous, offering great value for money. Every dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. What really stood out was the staff; they were exceptionally helpful and polite, making us feel welcome and attended to throughout our meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. I highly recommend Efes Grill to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. A true gem!

Best Turkish restaurant in Exeter !

Everting was perfect. Food are delicious. Prices are good too. Thank you . ❤️

"I’ve been a customer of this restaurant for years. It’s a wonderful place — the food is delicious, and the staff is absolutely amazing. I’d especially like to mention Baran; he is a truly wonderful person."

Fantastic! One of my favorites. Shawarma can't be beaten, and really big portion sizes and the staff are lovely.

Thx for service. Recommend efes special 2. Nice day

Perfect for you and your family. Best kebab

It’s amazing taste it’s great I came with my family they look after you very well

Best chicken doner kebab I ever tasted I recommend their service thanks

The food is great, I came with my family. Especially my daughter loved it. The food is also excellent, the staff is first class.

Excellent service and great food, highly recommend.

Very good service good quality food and they’re very respectful and welcoming, I definitely recommend a family dine in🤩

Good food, big portions , and good service . Will come back 😳

The food is really amazing and i ordered chicken doner box and it was awesome. Now i ordered lamb doner box through uber again but didnt had any salad. Just disappointing. But food quality is really good and tasty

I have been here for few times all good but this time it’s very bad I got a peace of plastic in the rice and the way management responded is not acceptable really disappointed

Absolutely delicious lunch today, we opted for mixed Shawarma which was served with gorgeous homemade bread, mixed rice, side salad and yoghurt. The service was warm and welcoming, and while it's not the cheapest, it was certainly one of the tastiest. Very good indeed.

If you’re a fan of perfectly grilled kebabs, this place is a must-visit. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of sizzling meat and spices hit me in the best way. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and quick service. I tried the mixed grill platter, which came with a generous portion of lamb shish, chicken shish, adana kebab, and doner, all cooked to perfection. The meats were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The rice was fluffy, and the fresh salad and warm flatbread were the perfect accompaniments. What really stood out was the quality of the ingredients and the balance of spices. You could tell everything was freshly made. Even the garlic sauce and chili sauce were full of flavor and clearly homemade. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes, and I left feeling completely satisfied. I’ll definitely be back, next time I might try the iskender or the lamb ribs.

My wife just got some mixed meat full of fat and grissel had to chuck it away won't be going back £9 for rubbish

Great food great staff very welcoming and lovely I came with my family very comfortable atmosphere and great prices thank you Effes

Unbelievably good food and amazing value - love this place 🙌

Great food, the meat is very well seasoned, fresh vegetables. I highly recommend it

alex is a credit to the team one of the very best makes me feel welcome and always has time for a conversation and goes above and beyond

Ordered a Chicken shish With salad to be separate under extra portion of side salad was charged £28 was the worst meal I’ve I’ve ever received was not fresh had to throw it awayI would avoid this place at all costs Very rude staff

Okay so I went back and um...yeah it probably was a one off thing before because now, I acc have their food to try.

Amazing food and service. Very friendly and the food Is delicious and reasonably priced.

This restaurant has lush pizzas (I think it's called pide on the menu) and the workers are kind and respectful. I would highly recommend you go to this restaurant ☺️ it's just a brilliant experience all together. I rate it 4.5. just amazing. You may wonder why I didn't rate 5. I just don't think this is the most amazing in the world but it is definitely worth going to.

Such a reliable resturant no wonder they’re exeters fav! Food is yummy and flavorful however a bit pricier so be aware of that. Staff are lovely and welcoming would recommend to anyone who wants kebab style food! Lots of option on the menu. mean is halal and vegetables taste fresh!

A perfect dining experience from start to finish! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. This is definitely one of the best restaurants we have ever been to, and we’ll return soon!

Orderd the lamb shawarma wrap,last week and today aswell, both the times i found hair in my food, please make sure guys,your chefs wear a hair net or cap an follow the food safety. Disappointed

The food was excellent that's my second time I come in it was great amount and quality was perfect. Stuff was so friendly and welcoming 🙏 thanks lots

Had a lovely time here got excellent service by all the staff food was perfect and was at a very affordable price.

Great eatery during the day, banging late night spot. Chips are to die for and the shawarma is really on point

This was one of our favourite places to nip out to eat. Located in Exeter City centre on busy Sidwell Street, its a great vibe at night. But recently they have changed chefs, owners, workers or something and the level of service is not the same. It's a shame because their fish from the grill was insanely good and perfectly cooked. These guys are trying but the atmosphere is not the same, the service and care for customers is not like it was. Bring back your other Team please.

Sawarma maker is not a kind person. Although the shop is good.

We are pleasantly surprised by the quality of service. The staff knows their stuff, the first time they tipped with great desire.

I did not enjoy the rice, the salad could use some improvements too. I spent £37 in a meal for 2, I ate just the chicken shawarma, the rice, the salad needs some improvement. The service was good. I will recommend, the food choices are healthy though.

Best Turkish breakfast in Exeter! Everything was delicious and so much variety. The staff were friendly and lovely environment. Defo recommended. I will be back!

Food here is brilliant, especially the soup and bread which you get with a beautiful salad.

Use to be great, But gone downhill massively. Food had no flavour and was far too dry.

Feels like being back in turkey, relaxed atmosphere and the food is so fresh

We went in for a quick snack. Had the meze - tasty, varied, really nicely done. It made us want to eat more so we ordered the daily special which was braised chicken with peppers. It was amazing. Regular grill is always good, but the special very special - tender, moist, so full of flavour. One of the best in Exeter!

Really good service and amazing food thank you so much.

Quality meal, very tasty, friendly staff.

nice place with nice food it deserves to be visited 👍

Best service I’ve ever had from the waiter to the cook, Will like to point out that Roddy gives out exceptional customer service and looked after me my whole time in the restaurant

Second time eating in. Adana Kebab and rice pudding is absolutely wonderful!

Excellent food fantastic staff amazing service and atmosphere, very friendly and polite staff, always come here when we are i Exeter

This is our favourite place to eat in Exeter - food is amazing and fresh, and so reasonably priced. Always a lovely warm welcome from the staff. An absolute gem of a place

the waitress are very kind, especially Guney and Burak. food are delicious. ty for the delicious turkish cuisine in exeter

most succulent lamb shish ive ever had worth a try. service from burak was fantastic

Amazing food and friendly staff every time we visit. The best restaurant in exeter.

One of the best restaurants in Phuket Good service , lovely food ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic, tasty food, and great, friendly service.Would definitely be coming again! Only criticism is the state of the toilet.

The food took nearly 2hrs to get hear my salad consisted of mainly onions, the kofta tasted weird like it was on the turn before being cooked, my chicken shish consisted of about 4 small pieces of chicken.

So a mushroom burger is a beef burger with mushroom. Vegetarian seemed to be an alien concept when asked the staff assured us it was a 'mushroom burger.' Owner offered to give us extra chips instead of our 7 pound purchase. Weird. Frankly an annoying end to a wonderful evening.

Awful food! The kebab meat was overcooked, they serve garlic mayonnaise, why (??), it should be a type of yogurt, the salad was mainly ice burg lettuce and the rice had sweetcorn in (WTF). There are far, far better Middle Eastern kebab places and restaurants around. The service was okay, the man in charge knew what he was doing, though a younger guy was clueless! The place seems to have individuals from the local community working there, this meant a lot of people going in and out of the kitchen, the hygiene is certainly questionable, my partner saw one of the kitchen staff use the toilet with his apron on!! Never going again!

Ordered Mixed Kofte Saturday evening & although the food tasted really good it left me with a severe case of gastroenteritis. A bit TMI but have been dealing with awful diarrhoea & cramping abdominal pain the following day.. I can’t recommend this place because of that. Perhaps the food wasn’t cooked throughly, not sure.

Gone down hill recently, used to be amazing..

The once great efes grill has become what most people in the uk associate with crappy donar kebab. What was once the pinnacle of the uk kebab scene has become an utter disgrace! Poor portions compared to a year ago, the meat is kept in a bain Marie, and my kebab yesterday came with only lettuce and sauces leaving a soggy experience. It make me sad to have to write this review because this was a top kebab house which has dramatically let itself go. Don't bother and go to mega kebab they will load you up with a decent salad and freshly shaved meat.

Amazing Service from a waiter I had by the name of Yasin. He was extremely kind and charismatic. I recommend him to anyone eating in here. Amazing service and extremely surprising from the young lad.

Kebab houses are widely seen as low grade food for drunk people. This is often the case but when you find an authentic one often the food can be good. I have visited many over the years and Efes Grill is outstanding! All the food was beautifully cooked and presented. The lamb was tender and delicious. This is now my favourite Kebab house in Britain

Very disappointed me and my partner got a chicken wrap, from this restaurant yesterday. We both were a bit unimpressed with the taste and never have had problems before. We carried on eating it as didn’t want to waste and when we got to the bottom the chicken was chewy and cold to our disbelief we unwrapped it and saw raw chicken. I have now been sent home from work the following day and have been sick twice with a fever.

Excellent place for food and great service at good prices

Delicious high quality food and friendly service. Portions are not huge.

Nice food but a but arrived a bit cold, probably they need improving their packaging

Excellent food Excellent service Clean restaurant Best Turkish restaurant in Exeter . Highly recommended

Authentic food. Friendly staff.

Been here a few times now when in town on business. Always dinned in. Enjoyed it this time too but noticed the portions not as big this time. Still filling so don't worry. Bread is amazing as is the fresh salad. Always seems busy and that says a lot!

Excellent restaurant with the best lamb chops in exeter and the best salads and pancakes. I come here almost every week. Good price, good service, must try.

Feel Very disrespected and disappointed . The staff took orders and after 45 min he came back and asked us again what was our order. He even don’t know what was we ordered and he we asked he said to us they are preparing and after 45 min he came again asked for our order. They even don’t apologise and we cancelled our order and moved Wout from there

Worst service ,I never face this type of worst service in anywhere, we spend 45 minutes for the order.

A delightful atmosphere, with authentic turkish food , tasty, fresh, and amazing flavours breaking in your mouth with each bite. My favorite place to dine.

The best fish chips ever you can find 🍟🍕🍟🍕💐🥯🥯🍔🍔🍔❤️❤️

Travelling. Found this on Google. Can confirm its halal. Not far from city centre. Good was absolutely beautiful the chicken and lamb swarma is 100% meat and you can tell the quality. Recommend going here. Great decor and service

Had lunch today along with my husband, poor service,never check back if the food was alright, we ordered the mix grill and lamb shawarma, the rice was not fresh on both the dishes, lamb kofte was a bit off, and never got our chips. Complete disappointment

My favourite food in Exeter! Lovely place and amazing service to dine-in, but their takeaway menu makes me come back every week. Highly recommend!

Food was so good, and chefs gave some free meat for our dog. Thanks for their kindness..

It's my favourite place to eat for authentic Turkish food in Exeter. Portions are very generous, and everything is cooked fresh to order. Kebabs are excellent here.

Great people and delicious food

I've never enjoyed couscous- until tonight. Delicious, and the smells of grilled meat and veg were a big part of the experience. The beer tasted a little of honey, which was pleasant and the coffee was also a new experience. The atmosphere was a little rowdy or otherwise generally louder but positive.

Shawarma has been severely burnt every time, the cooks do not seem to care about the food that they put out. Wait time is ridiculous, no organisation. Felt my custom came at an inconvenience. Ate here a couple of times, the only reason I gave two star is because the waiting staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall I would not recommend and will not continue to spend money there.

Absolutely the best Turkish food in this part of Devon, it immediately reminds me of the flavors of Istanbul, I recommend it to everyone👌💥

I came inside the restaurant wasn’t greeted I took a seat my self after waiting 20 minutes I asked the chef if he could give me the menu because waiter was busy on the till and didn’t acknowledge me waiting for his service bought mix grill was one of the tinniest portion I had in uk also you don’t get a restaurant vibe feel like a takeaway it said on the menu 2 ribs I got one other one was less then half I was still starving so I had to get chicken doner wrap which also was disappointing in taste and quantity n quality not recommended if your hungry 😋

Had a great experience, food was great, people and atmosphere was great.

Gave me chicken with my food, after not ordering it. Had to spit it out as haven’t eaten chicken in years. Disgusting.

Good food. Good staff Good venue

Good food and excellent service. They need to improve the toilet facilities though. Not been good for some time.

The atmosphere and the service was great and is always a brilliant start but…Well I had the kofte which I had to return as it was kind of dry and crispy. The one I got back was better but similar. I didn't’ finish it all as it was just weird. If it had been in my cafe I would have been mortified. The salad, rice, onion salad, bulga wheat and sauces were lovely. And effes beer is of course a winner.

Another totally excellent dinner at Efes Grill! The standard Lamb Shish generously comes with rice, bulgar wheat, a little onion salad, big side salad (loads of vinegar dressing), soft fresh sesame bread, chilli dip and yogurt dip. The meat is tender, no gristle or fat, cooked to a smoky perfection and a little pink in the middle. All for £14.95 - bargain! Super team, from the waiting staff to the chefs and kitchen crew - friendly and positive vibes. A lovely atmosphere as always, a real mix of ages, ethnicities and types of groups - families, couples, students and friends, plus the occasional sad old git - me this time - making up a nice evening crowd.

Nice food just service a bit slow but souce and food is really good

Since change of ownership the standards have significantly dropped, waiting ages for food and poor customer service, over charged last we went in there.

The best kebab in town and it's not even close.

8 of us went to this restaurant. 7 of my friends they order 7 Mix grill , I brought a sandwich from outside because i have dietary requirements. But they didn’t let me eat with my friends because they don’t allow food from outside so i had to eat my food in car. Very disappointing.

Several misunderstandings resulted in being given the wrong order. Tried to explain to manager and offered a simple solution (put the meat and salad in a pitta bread) but he became argumentative so I just left. Will process refund via credit card company.

Brilliant meal, we had a sharing platter and every element of the dish was delicious. Will definitely be back, and highly recommend.

Appalling service. I ordered a meal , then waited a 30minutes. They served 4 people before me ( they came in after me ) they said my order was taking longer to cook - it was only 2 starters and. Salad. I was very disappointed with this and left the restaurant- will not be returning

Having lived in Turkey for a couple of years, I didn't have high expectations when I walked into this place by chance. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The food here is absolutely amazing. We ordered a big mix to share and a couple of mezes, and every single dish was superb. The flavors were authentic and brought back wonderful memories of my time in Turkey. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. If you're looking for delicious Turkish food in Exeter, I totally recommend this place. It’s a hidden gem that deserves all five stars!
