We were staying in Cambridge for a few days and came across Efes, we hadn’t booked but took a chance and they squeezed us in. Fantastic vibrant restaurant with an extensive menu, great ambiance and good food and service. Would go back again.

Fortunate find! I was at a loss as to where and what to eat, when I came across this place. It looked cosy and inviting from the outside (the weather was miserable outside!) Fortunately there was a table available. For starters I chose the Special Mezze. On arrival I was amazed at the size! This could easily feed 2! But it wasn't just quantity, it also had quality. Very good start. For mains I had the Shashlik Kebab and the meat was lovely and tender. I had a carafe of the red house wine, which was perfectly adequate at the price. It's a shame that some of the Turkish wines are not available by the glass. I would have loved to try some. Service was swift and very friendly.

The food was excellent and very fresh, we actually watched it being prepared and cooked.We admired the guy who was in charge of the grill, he was being cooked himself, but he never stopped smiling. The waiters made us feel like a part of the family and their attentiveness had no bounds. Efes is a very busy and popular restaurant so make sure you book well in advance.

Went for dinner here with my daughter. No reservation which was risky on a Friday night but they were able to fit us in after a short wait (we just went to the pub up the street for a drink in the Champion of the Thames - also worth a visit!). Efes seems the kind of independent restaurant that does the important things well: clean and friendly, with a vibrant atmosphere and good food. Tables are close together but in a packed & lively restaurant our conversation still felt private. I felt confident the food would be good for two reasons: the menu was varied without overextending the kitchen with too many options, and the sight of a chef sitting at an open grill. I wasn’t disappointed. I had a liver starter which was both simple and delicious. My daughter very much enjoyed the cheese borek - she was tempted to get it as a main as well! At Turkish restaurants I usually look out for whatever mixed kebab is served with sauce on pieces of pitta. Here it was the yogurtlu (iirc) and it was excellent. Meat was tender, with a dark, tangy sauce, and simple sides of rice and salad. We shared a bottle of Turkish white wine, dry with some stone-fruit flavour, that was a very enjoyable accompaniment to the food. With two courses each and a bottle of wine, our meal came in at about £76 without service which I felt was very good value, and merited a healthy tip. Definitely somewhere I will return to when I’m next in Cambridge.

A Cambridge institute which is always great. The latest time I had an amazing lamb kofte and the manager was so kind as to allow us to get a carafe of a wine they usually sell by the bottle. It gets busy, so always good to book a table by calling. They take card, but good to pay in cash to support a local business.

Excellent, classic Turkish food, friendly people, reasonable prices, good opening hours. Central Cambridge but slightly out of the way so pleasantly busy rather than horribly crowded. Now operating for over 30 years so they must be doing something right!

We had a wonderful experience at this Turkish restaurant – the food was fantastic, especially the savory dishes. We tried their baklava which is disappointing. It was not real Turkish baklava, might be Greek🤪 (just kidding). The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even arranging a table for 8 of us despite us not having a reservation. However, towards the end, we were asked to leave earlier than expected because they said other people were waiting for the table, but we didn’t see anyone waiting outside. Overall, it was a great meal, but the situation at the end was a bit confusing.

Delightful. We visited for a birthday meal; we booked ahead and would recommend booking as it was busy. The service was on point, we were checked upon several times to ensure everything was ok. The food and portions were perfect. The food tasted freshly made and there was plenty of it. The falafel with hummus for the main was so tasty and presented nicely. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough; there is something for everyone.

We went there without reservation but they manage to serve us. We were 8 people we ordered different mains. Overall we satisfied from mains but salads and drink(we had Ayran) could be better. I had liver as a main and I liked it very much. But we are not happy with baklava which I don’t dare to call that thing as a baklava as you can see in the picture there was no pistachios between its layers. After everything we had Turkish coffee it was delicious. While we are having our coffees waitress told us we need to leave because they have people waiting outside but after we left the table no one was waiting outside. Separate points for foods and drinks Liver: 4.5/5.0 Yogurtlu kebab 3.5/5.0 Ayran 2.0/5.0 Baklava 0.0/5.0 Turkish coffee 5.0/5.0

Atmosphere is lively but not too loud and always nice and warm whilst not overwhelming. Always a fun mood.

If you want genuine quality Turkish food in Cambridge then Efes is the place to go. Food, staff and atmosphere is of the highest quality and never fails to disappoint. Go for the set menu and have a taste of everything. As with many small family business,s who are getting strangled by payment card companies charges, they will never complain if you pay in CASH...Still my preferred payment method anyway and long may it last.

Even though we called and stated our number, they received a sullen welcome as if to say where did you come from? Unfortunately, they are rude to local guests and polite to foreigners. The mature gentleman serving was very polite and attentive. We were embarrassed by our guest next to us, so we ate quickly and got up. We came with enthusiasm and left unpleasantly.

I have heard so many good memories about the restaurant and no wonder it still attracts a crowd. The freshly assembled skewers and large pieces of meat!! The shashlik kebab is tender and beautifully grilled. As mom always says, good ingredients only need a dash of salt (and maybe pepper). I’d love to try all the cuts :3 The fried liver is fantastic. Meaty, tender, and flavorful, and not greasy at all. Portion is decent for a liver dish. I will come back for it. The rice is nicely salted. I also appreciate the shredded salad. Simple and refreshing. The service is friendly and very helpful. And the decoration really reminds me of my stay in Efes many years ago (and the table cloth looks very similar to the rug I bought :)

I ordered a takeaway from Efes as I fancied some marinated lamb cutlets which comes with turkish rice and salad. They did not offer delivery so I collected from the restaurant. On arriving home I opened the container box, the 4 lamb cutlets were awfully small, they had not been marinated. No flavour at all. I had to rub some seasoning salt to add flavour. Costing between £10-20 I expected much more, marinated delicious cutlets, full of flavor. Very disappointing. I have eaten at Efes restaurant before but sadly the takeaway option did not live up to expectation.

After many months of eating chicken nuggets, sausages and fish fingers on repeat, it was so nice to go somewhere with an awesome selection of meaaaaat! There are veggie options here having said that, but being a Turkish restaurant its probably about 60% meat. We went here for a stag dinner and was the first time I've been, though others in our group had been before. The restaurant is small but cozy with good seating and an open grill where everything is cooked. Its always nice to see how your food being cooked rather than in an invisible kitchen, and smells great. For a starter we all shared a meze platter, which was a whole load of turkish nibbles, all really tasty. I opted for the mixed kebab on others recommendation. Platter of different meats, rice, side of raw shredded veggies, and some sauces. Took me a while to finish, very good portions but not gigantic. By the time we were done with that I was too full for desert, which is rare for me. Went with normal coffee after but Turkish is in offer as well. Price wise its very reasonable for centre of Cambridge. They also do some very good value set menus for £22ish, so for around £20-25 per head in central Cambridge...that's rare now days, even rare for food that's actually good!

I've honestly never met such disrespectful staff before. So unwelcoming, rude. The design of the restaurant is awful. Its so cramped, and you are squished between a deli of raw meats, watching the meat be cooked and a bar. We asked for the meals to be packed and they added completely different meals together in the same packet, rendering it unappetising and inedible. Terrible customer service. I wouldnt go back here even if my life depended on it. Avoid at all costs! Wouldnt wish this experince on my worst enemy. The manager is particularly rude, unaccomodating and very stingy

We had to make some short notice changes to our booking but the staff were very accommodating. We ordered a variety of starters and mains and a bottle of the house wine. The food was great, brought out in a timely manner, we didn't have to wait for long. I personally liked the stuffed vine leaves and the antep kebab. My group liked the falafel, spinach tarator, carrot tarator, chicken efes, yoghurtlu kebab, chicken, seafood and mixed kebabs. We also ordered the baklava and ice cream for dessert and also some apple tea and turkish coffee which we loved. Staff checked in on us frequently to make sure we were okay, and the atmosphere was lovely. Spoke to the chef at the end and he even posed for a picture! 😄 Had a lovely time here and would definitely come again in the future. 👍

We went to this restaurant on Sunday 14 April. We took a chance going in, as we have always walked past and seen this restaurant always busy. The kindly gentleman greeted us on entry and we felt like we received a very warm welcome from him and the other staff. We were shown to a lovely little table and the man came to help us with our order. My wife has a gluten, dairy and egg free diet and this was not an issue at all. The kind man advised us on the foods to order and we felt comfortable. It is a relaxed environment. The staff just remember your order and show care to everyone in the same way. You can see the food being cooked right near to you and the decor is very ambient, traditional and cosy. We really enjoyed our meals as the food is all cooked to order and very fresh. We had some lovely Turkish tea to finish. We could see why this restaurant is always busy. We felt that we received excellent service. We would definitely return and recommend to others.

The food was relatively good, but the customer service was appalling. We had not been there for more than 5 minutes before the waiter came to take our order. I replied that I was still deciding on what to eat because there were so many options. He shouted at me and said "after all this time, are you still thinking about what to eat?" He then left. The restaurant was not full. I went there after a long day at work. I don't appreciate being told off and shouted at. It was uncalled for.

Went over there from google research and love for Turkish cousin. When we walked in we could smell damp which was in time covered by cooked food. Tiny place which gives family business feeling which is very lovely. We were welcomed straight away and given the choice of a table. Ordered one bottle of Turkish wine which hit our spots, very mild and not dry. We had meze starters which were very good but not enough bread and some of the meze were bland- lacking flavors. Main course arrived with cold rice and sauce which is a huge minus but meat was proper temperature, cooked perfectly, nice and tender. Whole dish lacked spices, flavor, I found it pretty bland from Turkish flavors. There were 3 men on the floor serving to customers and the bar- when they got busy, they were struggling with paying enough attention. We asked for a bill and once delivered, we had to put the hand up to get attention to pay. Another spot- Turkish tea made from electric kettle and tea bag dipped in and out ( for another customer).

I have been at this place many times over the years. Three things have been constant. First, the food is of very good quality, with savours complementing each other nicely. Second, the quantity of food is on the generous side. Third, the staff is very welcoming, generous and kind. They often give us something we did not order, whether it's tea, a plate of hummus or some desserts. This is an assuming place from the outside, but really welcoming and heart-warming once you get in. I really recommend to give it a go. Thank you Carlos bbq for a wonderful experience.
