Efes Restaurant in Newham

Had a great experience, service was outstanding. Food was delicious, Roni the waiter recommending an amazing dish & his service was great 💯

Lovely food, abundant portions and lovely people.

I recently dined at this amazing Turkish restaurant, and from the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, blending traditional decor with a modern touch. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was the exceptional service especially from an employee named Rony. Ronny went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. He was attentive without being intrusive, had great recommendations

Food was lovely. Services was lovely Ronnie was attentive

Amazing food good experience..good service from Rony...

Great portions and lovely food!

Amazing food and service by Rony Also had tea and baklava on the house

Really nice service and food. Ronny and his colleagues made our visits very special.

Qué comida fabulosa tuvimos esta noche en el restaurante Canning Town Effes. Cada sabor de nuestro entrante compartido fue increíble, los panes, los sabores de cada sección y luego nuestra comida principal y la ensalada! Exquisito. Realmente no puedo recomendar este restaurante la comida y el personal lo suficientemente alto, gracias de nuevo por nuestros tés turcos de cortesía ❤️ Muchas gracias a todos, por favor abran en Belfast 😊

Food was absolutely amazing. Couldn’t fault anything from the complimentary dips to the perfect charcoaled lamb. Staff were amazing and just had the most stunning meal

Excellent food, great portion size was so filling and absolutely delicious. Also incredible friendly service with complimentary bread and Turkish tea. Definitely recommend and will come here again

The food is excellent and the service is great. Highly recommend this restaurant

The food here was amazing I had a really great time and will be coming back .

best restaurant for turkish food! best service you can imagine! Rony and Saif have been the best!

Always amazing service, amazing quality of fresh delicious foods always look for Ronni

Great food and great service from our waiter saif and rony

Delicious food. The Aubergine Kebab is particularly noteworthy. We also enjoyed the Lamb shish and patlican esme very much.

I recently had the Adana Kebab, and it was truly delicious. The meal started with a generous portion of salad and bread, and they concluded with a nice cup of tea. While the serving sizes were quite ample for one person, I appreciated the variety and managed to finish most of it. Overall, a satisfying experience!

Amazing place awesome food and amazing staff ! Defo come here . Tony was our waiter and he was the best

Lovely food. Our waiter Rony was great and quick service!

Really good food. Very cozy atmosphere.

We visited for lunch on a Saturday, shortly after it opened at noon, so it was still quiet. As you walk in, there's a display case showcasing prepared foods and uncooked meat skewers - everything looked fresh and ready for the day. Our order included stuffed vine leaves, chicken and lamb shish (served with rice, bread, dips, and a side of salad), and a lamb shish wrap, which came with chips. While the stuffed vine leaves were fairly average and I think the wrap could’ve been softer, the meats were cooked well. The chips deserve a special mention too; they're the classic, old-school kind and really hit the spot.

Really good food. The Adana was 10/10 and the people serving us were really nice!😃

We ate here three times during our ten days in London, that alone says it all. 😃 The food was absolutely delicious every time: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. 👌 The small restaurant is clean and cozy, and you instantly feel at ease. What stood out to us the most was the service! Everyone was incredibly kind, friendly and polite, we felt warmly welcomed and were looked after so well. A true culinary highlight of our trip to London – thank you for that! 🙏

Went there for dinner with a friend today. Food is always good but today tasted extra good!! Even the Turkish tea hit! The staff are all nice, ambience is comfy. Always my go to.

Love the place! Fast authentic food and great atmosphere. Service was great!

Me and my girlfriend have been coming here for a few months and it’s always an amazing experience. Also Rony is a fantastic waiter and the best we could ever ask for! Great food great service and amazing chefs! 100% recommend to anyone.

I love the food. You can actually taste the seasoning in the lamb doner. A great hit for me. A serene environment to relax and enjoy your meal✌🏾

Absolutely love the food and service here! Best Turkish food ever

Gianina welcomed me very friendly and she recommended me a chicken wrap as I was on an go . Best wrap I had so far . You doing your job right , well done Gianina

I was pleasantly surprised today in this very cozy and amazing place with excellent service and professional staff. The food was very tasty, I also ordered an excellent Turkish coffee and a very tasty strawberry cheesecake, it was absolutely delicious, our waiter, Rony he was very attentive and professional. I highly recommend, will definitely visit the place again😊

Food, vibes and armosphere was amazing had a great time with family. Service was great thank you so much to Saif and Ronny for their service.

Scammers!! We ordered 2 wrap, it came out awfully bad and the worst part is they charged more than what was written on the menu and on their signs! I advise to stay away from there, try the one opposite to this one. Jokers.

Unfortunately food was awful and doesn’t worth the price. Also they charged more than what it was on the sign.

Fantastic, flavour full food. Big portions bit pricey. Restaurant when full is not a pleasant experience it's too small for its popularity 🙃 04/042025 - Had lunch at Efes today. I was the sole customer at the time. Served customary salad and bread with two lots of Dips.. Couldn't eat everything but all well cooked and tasty. Given a takeaway container and bag to take leftovers home... Prices extortionate in my opinion. Plus l didn't notice service charge of £3.62 added. I would have had it removed ...... how hard is it to serve one customer? Can of coke £3.50! Flipping liberty!

We went there on mother's day, I arrived expecting to wait some time and was seated within minutes, the waiter Saif was very attentive, didn't have to wait to long to get his attention. The food came swiftly and tasted good. Will definitely return with my family again

Very tasty food and wonderful service. Lovely atmosphere. Very good service from Ronny.

Amazing food! We had the mixed Kebab along with the Adana Kebab and the Lentil soup. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and light music. Rony was very helpful and welcoming.

Last night, I ordered 2 lahmacun and baklava from Uber Eats. Their lahmacun was really tasteless, I was very upset. Unfortunately, the baklava was not delicious either.

Best Turkish food. Would definitely come again. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great service special mention to Ronny, and Saif 😄😄😄😄😄😄

Fresh and tasty food always, i’ll be back eating here again ) thanks to waiters Geanina for the nice service 👌🏻🙏🏻

Efes Restaurant in Canning Town offers a traditional Turkish dining experience with authentic flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. Established in 1974, it’s known for quality and consistency. The menu includes popular dishes like kebabs (lamb doner, chicken shish), meze platters (hummus, tabbouleh), and specialty items like Iskender kebab and yogurt chicken shish. Generous portions and authentic taste are a highlight. The friendly staff and clean environment contribute to a positive dining experience, though reviews are mixed. While many praise the food’s quality, some mention high prices and occasional quality concerns. Efes provides a great Turkish dining experience, but reviews vary, so it’s best to visit and judge for yourself.

It was the best experience I have ever had in my life, I ate a very nice kebab. I recommend it to all my friends. I insist you try it. Thank you.

We’ve been here a few times, and the lovely lady who serves us always remembers us, making us feel so welcome. The service is excellent, and the complimentary tea is a thoughtful touch. The food is flavourful and authentically Turkish—especially the grilled meats and baklava. Highly recommended!

Amazing food & customer service!

This is my third time I coming this shop. Food was always best and the waiter was very friendly and gave me a heartwarming welcome to the shop. I will definitely come back again.

the food was so good and the service was outstanding as well. I will be come back soon

It was an amazing dining experience at Efes today. It was my first time visiting the place, and I was impressed with the food and overall service. The menu consists mostly of traditional turkish plates, out of which I would recommend their ribs and lahmacun. Their starters were generous in size, bread was provided twice and the staff was quite attentive to our request. I would say this place is on the moderate-expensive side of the market, but the quality justifies it. The finished plates below are an example of a good food. Recommended 🙂

Lovely restaurant, tucked away in E16. The food was nice and reasonably priced. Great service and delicious food.

The food is very tasty and the staff is very kind and funny🥰, i’ve been there with my friends and we felt so welcomed❤️ I recommend this restaurant to everyone that likes turkish cuisine and wants to spend quality time with friends or family 🥰🤗 Rony and Sibel are very friendly, they’re the best✨🥰

Rony and Sibel are very nice and friendly person

Rony and Sibel, were very professional. They looked after us ery well. Food very nice. Very pleased with everything. I will recomend to my friends.

Great time, impeccable service (shout-out to Sibel), amazing food!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Efes Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delightful—each dish was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. It’s clear that a lot of care and attention goes into crafting their menu, and everything we tried was just delicious. A special shout-out to Sibel, who took care of us throughout the meal. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, always checking on us with a genuine smile. Her attentiveness made us feel so comfortable and valued as guests. It’s rare to come across such a thoughtful and personable server, and Sibel definitely made our visit memorable. Overall, I couldn’t have been more pleased with our time at Efes. Wonderful food, impeccable service, and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great food, very tasty and portions are very big.

Very Friendly and good service by the waiter Geanina .
