Efes Restaurant in Lambeth

Chicken doner was horrible one of the worst I had in 20 years. Portoon is 3/4of what it had to be. Chicken was dry and from pot. One side of pita was over burned felt like carton. Salad was anough only for half of chicken. Half of the slice of tomato and cucumber only for a whole meal. No lemon.

I really rate the kebabs here the salad is fresh and juicy with lemons and chillies. Good quality for what it is thank you- I do recommend

Lamb shish wrap was just so good and tasty, seriously I remember to try, guy who works there is also very friendly. But in the end of the day we are there for food so definitely good food in there.

Lovely friendly staff polite an great food a must try for people

Food is delicious but the man behind counter was swearing after put down customers phone call I think he has anger issue which is a shame food is delicious lamb doner juicy

I have been going to Efes for more than 15 and until tonight I have alsways had a good meal. Tonight we waited more than 15 minutes for our order, which was totally wrong when we got it home. Dont bother going if you are a walk in customer, as they prioritise online collect by Uber etc. I won’t ever be going back

I’ve ordered food I’ve gotten the wrong order each time I can’t travel back as I live too far after a day at work I want to have dinner I want what I ordered I asked for the bread separate and it wasn’t I asked for red cabbage and got given white asked for double cheese In a burger and only got one slice I won’t be using this place ever again and I will tell others to avoid this place Your staff don’t seem to understand simple requests they need to be better trained Things are expensive nowadays and when you pay for something you kinda want what you ordered not what they give you because they don’t understand simple instructions I asked for things and didn’t get it I didn’t ask for white cabbage I asked for red and got white Sorry but I work all day I want to come home with food food I ordered The reason I used to use this place was because it was on the way home from work and the orders before hand was correct the last 3 times I’ve been there wrong once is bad enough and can be forgiven but this was the last time I’m very unhappy with my order and the fact that your staff can’t do as asked

Best food ever 😋 you should come down and try it. Good people, fantastic food.

Good food, prices are a bit high but fair. Good servings and very polite staff. They accept card and cash.

That bald guy and the way he is behaving make that i will not come back anymore,food is amazing.

I visited the restaurant yesterday and had an amazing experience with food and friendly staff. However, today's visit for lunch was a stark contrast. The person behind the counter was extremely rude, using inappropriate language, and displayed a completely unprofessional attitude. It's disheartening to encounter such behavior, and I left without placing an order. This kind of conduct is unacceptable in a restaurant, and I strongly believe individuals with such an approach should not be representing the establishment. I hope the management addresses this issue promptly for the sake of future customers.

Foods been ok in the past but lost my custom with the appalling service now. Tried to order on the phone, got told to wait a moment and then hung up on. Walked down to order instead, 5 guys behind the counter completely ignored my existence and they really weren't that busy. I waited for 10 minutes whilst they dealt with the only customer there. Eventually my patience ran out and I went to KFC instead. Won't be back.

I ate at their restaurant in Whitechapel which was good so I ordered from Uber a delivery from what I thought was the same restaurant but it was actually the Norwood branch. Food was disgusting, badly packaged in cheap paper, cold coke and warm food tight together. Fries and onions so soaked in oil and steam and unsalted absolutely disgusting they went into the bin. Lamb shish was slightly better but overcooked and chewy never again from this restaurant especially never get a delivery, eatin might be different but the quality of their delivery is awful

One of the best Kebab shops around. Always busy. Always good food. Cheers Guys

I've been a customer for over ten years. They've always been patient, polite, and always kind to my family when buying our food. We're a large family with five kids. Our food is always hot and tasty! Would love to see some new additions on the menu! Maybe some sea bass or half grilled chicken!

Πεντανόστιμο !!καλες τιμές καλοί άνθρωποι

Got the lamb doner wrap , it was £7.50 but it was HUGE ( the photo shows only half of the wrap after being cut in half). It was pretty good value for money .

Too much lettuce in the wraps or whatever you order. Not enough meat for the price we pay.

I ordered a falafel wrap from this restaurant. The portion size was very big and the order arrived quickly, those are about the only good things I have to say. The food itself was very mediocre and bland. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about recommending to others or returning in the future.

Please read carefully.....I ordered last night after reading reviews and realising Dem don't deliver... As below the man said the chicken doner DO NOT ORDER it...I ordered the lamb chicken Doner Mix & Lamb and Chicken Shish I enjoyed all of it and would order again but I would AVoid the chicken Doner like the plague it's tasteless with a aftertaste. The Lamb doner was delicious. They also include a lovely lemon slice and big green chillies with the salad which was greatly appreciated. Lovely salad tbh and some nice sauces...also quick delivery. It would be a 5 star if it was not for the chicken doner meat that let it down 🍗 👍 Thanks ✨

Foid is always good, but staff get a bit stressed at times.

Food is always on point. The staff are so polite and friendly.

Was the best food I have had in a long time. Staff are lovely and helpful too.

Excellent. Very simple answer to those using Ubereats and Deliveroo. DON’T !!!

Always a lovely bit of food, freshly cooked and beautiful

Alright hear me now, for this review I decided to stay real local and try a restaurant that I’ve passed many times but never really paid much attention to. Efes Restaurant is a small, cozy establishment most known for its kebabs. I got a small mixed meat and chips. The size was pretty decent, and included a hefty amount of fresh salad. The chips were crispy; fluffy, salted wonderfully, and not at all floppy (which would have been a significant issue when paired with doner meat, especially with all the sauce and salad). The chilli sauce was the right amount of spicy and flavoursome, and the lamb doner was amazing. The long strips of meat were tasty and cooked very well. But though the chips, salad, and doner meat were brilliant, there was one disappointing downside: the chicken doner. If you go here, do yourself a favour and just stick to the lamb. The flavours of the chicken were so lacking as to be almost nonexistent. It was mostly cooked well, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it. Therefore, due to the chicken, I wasn’t able to give the meal the rating it would else wise have been due. 6.7/10 For more reviews check out my insta : sjtalks_

How can say Halal and fully licensed at the same time? A contradiction

Easily the Best kebab iv had in london

Fabulous food Mum and I really enjoyed it We were really struggling with what to eat and then we just thought of this The staff were so friendly and those wings... omg Defo recommend this wonderful place

Great food, great staff. Also good fir dinning.

This can be a good experience. However it depends who is serving and what time of day it is. I get a kebab when i don't have time to cook. so I want it to fill me up like a meal . There are two guys that seem to be in charge and if they are there you will get good service and a good value for money. I f however you have the misfortune to be served by the lower ranks the portions will be skant . This is also the case if you order by phone . You need to be there and watch them put your meal together. Other wise the the vegetable part of your meal will be more like a garnish and not a salad. I phoned through an order today , collected it and took it home . As soon as it was finished I had to cook myself something to eat because I was still hungry . My kebab cost nearly £10

I usually love efes doner kebab, but when i ordered via uber, i spent £50 on food for my family, to receive it cold, there were missing items and when we called up about it, the guy couldn’t seem any less interested about our problem. The chips were refried, more like crisps. and the kebab had no flavour? i’ve never had service from efes as bad as this. it’s like they have no regard for online orders because when i walk in the food is great.

I've been coming to this kebab shop for over 25 years, it is amazing, you won't find a better kebab locally. Anyone that has a bad word to say about it hasn't got a clue. My grandad used to come here all the time and he loved these guys, they treated him like family called him uncle. Thank you so much efes crew!

It’s a good place to get takeout whilst your on your way to work. And they sell amazing food.

Great Donner and very friendly service. Even though it’s just a takeout place, it has a nice feel when you sit in too.

Best grilled wings in the area, you just can't beat the marinade

Good place for kebab in the area.

Never enough chips. They are very stingy with chips and dips

Well priced and meats cooked over charcoal

Good quality food, reasonable price. Highly recommend their Kofte kebab

Excellent food always amazing kebabs and always great service

Like the surrounding staff friendly

Had the Efes Special. Well cooked, good ingredients and tasty as always.

The best! The staff are lovely and respectful. I like the vegetarian options and the extra sachets of chilli sauce for 30p. The food is the best of its kind in south east London! Best to pre order for collection.

Best meat n’ chips in town. Chicken shish and wings are both very nice, too. Prices are lower in the shop than online (deliveroo, ubereats etc)

Their prices on Deliveroo, uber eats and just eat are literally double most other kebab places. This means on principle I shouldn't order from them as that’s an absolutely ridiculously high price but why? The food is better than other kebab places TBF but I don’t understand why they are charging SO much more, I think thier prices are too high. Maybe they would have mor customers if the lowered thie rprices a bit. Also for some really frustrating reason they have changed thier packaging and don't actually put the kebab together like they used to which i relaly hate! It comes all deconstructed and is worse for it!

Over priced, small chicken plus chips £9 you can get much nicer kebab in local area. Not worth the money.

Decent late night munch for under £10. All the usual suspects and a good chilli sauce

I haven’t been to the restaurant... but I won’t order from anywhere else. Ample portions and delicious flavour.

Kebab meats were well cooked and the chilli sauce was amazing!

Beautiful clean restaraunt with excellent food and friendly staff

They have the best kebabs around, from their kofte to their doner. Their starters are also excellent. I have never had a bad experience here and I’ve been many times

I order tonight a mix shish with chicken and lamb with chips, pita bread, salad and chili sauce , mint sauce The meat was absolutely great, cooked to perfection. Salad was great, chips, basic, nothing special about them, the sauces absolut delicious, homemade. I was very happy with the order,the only downside was the portion of the shish, very very small. I will definitely order again, top quality.

Really love the kebabs here and one of the best In South London. Staff are always friendly and great quality.

Iv always got the runs the staff not always help full.food looks good but the next day or few hours you be on the loo very bad .take care what You eat

Lovely fresh ingredients, cooked well

Best kebab shop in South London. Falafel wraps to die for

Food was overcooked and over priced. Very rude staff. Will not be returning

Kebab is hard and had flies in my lettuce. Very very stingy place even when you don't mind paying for things they still don't want to give you such as sauces and salad. Talk in there language whenever you ask them for something they don't want to do for you, which i think is very rude and then lie that they put in your bag and don't. Talk ENGLISH its unprofessional to talk about your customers in your language. Over priced, you can get much nicer kebab in local area. Not worth the money.

Best kebabs in this part of london

Will not be going back again as the price is high and the food is not all that special. If you want to be ripped off, this is the place for you, You're welcome. :)

Not since it changed hands 3yrs ago

Delicious kebab recommend it the best

Best kebab in south east London the boys really know how to look after their customers

The food was okay for the price. Meat serving was rather huge for me, some may be crazy about that. The staff are not particularly warmer welcoming.

I ate there and ordered online. Good quality food each time.

As far as kebab shops go, this is a good one. Eaten from here at least six times and food is always consistently tasty and we'll cooked.

The food here is always fresh tasty and grilled perfectly. Quite reasonable and staff are always friendly. Definitely one of the best kebab shops in South London

Loved this place! Good authentic food with flavour. Staff fantastic and friendly. A perfect choice late night with friends.

It's the best kebab place and take away in West norwood by far. I always had the chicken diner as I don't like lamb take away kebabs. It's only recently that I found the kebabs don't really taste the same which has sort of put me off slightly. The staff have always come across friendly. Though lately when I've walked in there I've noticed an unbearable sweaty smell, which has totally put me off of ordering food.

I have eaten there a few times, although the last time, about two days ago I got food poisoning. Food poisoning is basically down to poor hygiene and health standards. You can't say it was a one off...I've clearly dodged a few bullets in the past. Never again.

We’re local veggies and we always get the falafel wrap and chips to take away. IMO this is among the best falafel in London - so delicious: crispy on the outside and soft / fluffy in the middle. Plus the salad is lovely and fresh which makes it crunchy and light. One order is normally enough to share between two as well so it’s amazing value to boot!

Lovely doner meat and chips so tasty

What a lovely dinner we had!!!!!! I was so happy to finally find out that i have an amazing local

We love Efes, it's our local kebab shop and have been going there once a month or so for years. They're completely reliable, never got an order wrong. Friendly staff, reasonable price. The food is consistently good, recommend the chicken shish wrap or falafel wrap.

I'm a vegetarian and their salad, falafel and humous is the best around

Lovely staff and well cooked chips which is all you need at the end of a night out.

Best kebab in the area! Most recommend!

Another visit, definitely back again :-)

Good kebabs but they don't let you just sit down and eat there without paying extra to sit down (?!) even though they always have loads of empty tables.

Nunca he tenido una mala comida - carne perfectamente cocinado, encantadora durante todo ensaladas frescas, buena comida. El equipo de trabajo aquí son encantadores.

Good food & prices, quick & friendly service.

Great service good food haven't eaten in yet but will do soon

Nice food. Nice inside but very cold to eat in.

A few weeks ago a bro took me go this kebab shop. Medium priced place but I think the mixed grill we had was better than anywhere I've ever been, and believe me I've been to a lot of Turkish places. Presentation was amazing too. The complimentary salad was perfectly dressed. Etc. Nice chips. And it was £18.95. 7 out of 5 stars The shop has a lovely simple decor. I love the painting of the sheikh at the entrance to a mosque with all these tortoises around him. Whats it all about?!

Absolute rubbish I don’t know how they have got 4+ stars The most basic kebab house every. Cheapest possible meat. Complete rubbish Chicken that taste like caulk Lamb that taste like water Rank

Had a family meal. 6 of us and everything was fantastic

We didn't get to eat here because unfortunately they sell alcohol. I wish they didn't as it is supposedly a muslim, halal restaurant and seeing all the wine bottles made us feel uncomfortable. Hope the restaurant takes this on board. The decor looked nice.

Best Kebab in the Norwood Dulwich area. Resident here for 9 years has only improved.

Chiken doner and lamb ribs are really great

Not proper restaurant not tasty food

Fantastic kebab, the meal deal for 2 is great value. Cash only though is my only negative

Liked the food...the portioning was great. The only reason I am not giving it a 5 is because, It can get busy at different slots and can get confusing for the customers + they don’t accept cards!!!!

Tuve mi primer kebab en Londres en 1975 en un puesto en la esquina de Gloucester Rd y Cromwell. Fue el cielo. Desde entonces, mi y Donna se han distanciado. Me entretuve un rato con Shish y Kofta, pero ellos también se volvieron mundanos. La última vez que estuve en Effes eran las 3 de la mañana por una botella de vino tinto. El kebab era solo para mantenerlo legal. Esta noche paré y compré un Doner & Kofta y tuve un trío en el 468. ¡Había olvidado que un kebab podía probar tan bien! Hermosos sabores de cordero cubiertos con un toque de hierbas. El personal está un poco restringido. Quién no lo estaría después de que los pubs se hayan cerrado en 'Lower Norwood', como solía llamarse. Sonríen con sus ojos y vierten amor en esas cajas de poliestireno.

Good service and really good food and good prices

Lovely place. Great food, reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Never disappointed. Good price & fantastic service. I would highly recommend the Grilled Chicken burger, it's better quality than Nando's chicken! Has a seating area at the rear of the shop giving a sense of privacy from take away customers for if you want to eat in. Delivery also available via Deliveroo

Good quality tasty kebabs at a reasonable price. The staff are friendly and service is generally relatively quick

Me encanta el Kebabs efes, normalmente nos pide el mezclado selección como podemos disfrutar de la variedad de carnes y tiene las patatas fritas o arroz. El servicio podría venir con una sonrisa
