Lovely food and service!!! Will definitely come back again!!!!

THE BEST TURKISH RESTAURANT & BAR IN LONDON. GR8 FRESHLY PREPARED FOODS, VARIED DRINKS, FANTASTIC MUSIC (U CAN JOIN IN) WITH KOOL EVEN GEN ZEE VIBE. TURKISH LIVE BAND & TRADITIONAL LIVE BELLY DANCERS!!!!!! BEEN BACK THRICE IN ONE MONTH💯💙 5 STAR RATED!!!!!!

Excellent food and value for money. We came back for a second time! Would highly recommend

Really really disappointed. I’ve had much better take away kebabs for less than half the price. Service was good but atmosphere was dull. So many other better options.

It was very nice lunch meal . The staff was very friendly. Come back again for sure

Portion ver small for the price you pay, 10 % service charge was added automatically

If you are looking for both peace and taste in London, I definitely recommend it. Live music is indescribable, everything is very enjoyable, thank you for everything.

This is the only authentic Turkish Cypriot kebab restaurant in the UK. Top marks must eat lamb doner.

A very warm and peaceful environment, especially Mr. Ergin and the kindness, friendliness and sincerity of the employees are worth everything. We, as a family, really enjoy the taste of your food and the live music performance. Thank goodness you exist.

If you want to feel at home even abroad, this is the best choice. It's been 2 years since I returned to my country, but when I thought about London, this place came to mind and I thought I'd leave a comment.

Truly the best time, thank you Erkut!

Lovely local place and friendly service!

Great Food, nice Prices n very nice n Friendly Staff. -Thank you

One of the best turkish restaurants in London….

Excellent service, great environment, and top-quality food — nothing can go wrong when you feel at home, even while abroad.

Fantastic service! Ertan was very helpful and friendly!!

amazing food, great service from ertan

Very pleasant atmosphere and food was great

I will come again. Foods, drinks, songs were so good. Thanks for hospitality and kindness.

Service and food are great. Waiter Erkut, thank you very much for your attention.

Amazing food & staff, can't wait to come back

Our food came very quickly, the staff was very friendly, thank you for everything

We had such a good experience here. The food was delicious and plentiful. The owner and staff were very nice and accommodating. It was a very fun and relaxed place to have a birthday dinner as a family.

One of the best Turkish oriental restaurants I have eaten in so far. It's on the main street and is noisy when there's a lot going on. A little old, but still comfortable.

Amazing service and great atmosphere!

Efes is one of the best, value-for-money, restaurants in the west end of London. The atmosphere and ambience is just brilliant. The food is of the highest quality, beautifully served by friendly and attentive waiters and waitresses. When the downstairs level is full and the live music is rocking and the belly dancer strutting her stuff, the party-like atmosphere is lively and vibrant. Not to be missed, Efes on Maple Street is one of London’s hidden gems and well worth a visit.

Very good food, the music and entertainment were great, thank you for everything.

An absolutely fabulous, fun-filled evening. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great music.

Had a best time, definitely recommend. Amazing staff and food :)

Very good restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and very friendly and helpful service. The food was tasty and afterwards there was a Turkish concert in the basement. An experience in itself 😉

Such an amazing, fun place. The staff is always so kind and friendly.

Service and food quality was outstanding. We love being there thanks for everything. I came back after a long time but this time with my 8-month-old son. They welcomed us very nicely as if we were at home. Thank you very much for everything.

Fav place in London. I’m serious.

Excellent vibes, lovely atmosphere, good food!

Mr. Erkut took very good care of us! An excellent restaurant

Mr Erkut was very helpful and the food was amazing!

Great evening with tasty food and fun atmosphere with music in the basement room, staff is super friendly and welcoming for a party of people, karaoke and dancing, perfect for fun dinner parties

I felt like I was at home in London. Thank you to Kazım Bey for his mastery and Ergin Bey for his professional approach and sincerity. The rice pudding that came after the meal was also wonderful.

Many thanks to Mr. Ergin, who made us feel like we were at home in London, for his sincerity, delicious food and conversation.

Those who know us know that when kebab is mentioned in London, Kazım Usta's Ephesus comes to mind. We would like to thank Kazım Baba and Ergin Bey for their sincerity. Homemade rice pudding on top of the wonderful kebab made us very happy. Efes Restaurant is the place for those who want to feel at home in London.

Very nice service, excelent food

Feels like home. So lovely staff with very warm and kind heart. Friday and Saturday have live music with fantastic musicians. Strongly recommended.

Great atmosphere, music and fun! A must!

I m living London 33 years .this restaurant for grill meat kebabs ..I m very happy tonight thanks somuch all wonderful staff 😘

Great experience! Highly recommend!

Lovely staff, amazing service and lovely food! Chef Sinan is the best.

The waiter Anik was very attentive, friendly and efficient.

Staff, food and service all deserve a 5 star. Top quality restaurant with live Turkish Music on Fridays and Saturdays in the heart of the city. Belly dancing is a bonus. Mixed Grill and Rice Pudding (Sütlaç )is my favourite.

Great food, great environment. Thank you to the Efes Team and Erkut Abi.

Great atmosphere, live music, lots of birthdays and a lovely fruit platter to finish.

Fantastic service by a friendly waiter called Ertan. Well worth a visit.

We had the best time! Food was delicious and Ertan took great care of us. Highly recommend as the portions are big!

Beautiful place, recommend everyone to come here and try the meze it was perfectly made

Great Turkish food. Highly recommended

Great experience here at Efes, Ozy was a great host

Had my wedding reception in the Great Titchfield Street location on 27/12/1988 and visited again in Maple Street on 25/03/25, 36 years later. Location has changed, but the quality of the food is still just as good. First class and authentic. Prices reasonable and service very good. Will go again soon.

Felt quite intimidated by the Turkish staff there, the food is below average and the service pretentious and uncomfortable.

Love this gaff!! You'll love it as well. Home cooked food, just like Mumma never used to make 🥰

What a wonderful surprise when we stumbled to Efes restaurant. The food was excellent, and the young lady who served us was exceptional. I'm sorry we forgot your name. Thank you for the fruit platter. We loved it so much that before we left, we made a reservation for the following night.

What a great place to come for dinner with friends. An eclectic mix of diners in the restaurant, lots of people coming and going. Good vibes multiplied with good food equals a great night. Very attentive service. This restaurant has been here for a long time for good reason. If you're in the area and you are looking for a traditional Turkish restaurant experience from an independent restaurant, this is the place to go!

Great restaurant, very authentic, very friendly welcome and delicious food THANKS

Super cozy atmosphere, we were very well attended by the waiter Erkut and ate very tasty meals. I 100% recommend this restaurant to friends! I will definitely come back again ☺️

Cozy atmosphere, good music, excellent service by the waiter Erkut and amazing food!

We came on the recommendation of a friend and it was the best choice we made. We had an excellent experience. Wonderful atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff, they recommended excellent dishes. I highly recommend it.

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, one of the favourite place

Food was really good and service as well

Efe's hosted me and some colleagues for dinner last night and we had fantastic service and food. They were very friendly and accommodating, they were attentive and even let us sit in the downstairs area on our own which was perfect for privacy. The food selection was great, as were the sharing platters, and they even brought out some complimentary fruit platters at the end, which was a really nice suprise. We left feeling very full and happy. Many thanks to your team on Wednesday 5th March.

So amazing! Great place true authentic feels They didn’t know it was my birthday and when they found out they surprised me with singing happy birthday! It felt genuine and an experience I won’t forget! The food was amazing 🤩

Beautiful authentic family owned Turkish restaurant. We ordered a hot and cold meze every single item was flavorsome, the calamari was fresh and tender, the sujuk was juicy and the baba ganoush had the right about of garlic. I ordered Ali Nazik perfect amount of food, the meat was well seasoned, had the right amount of spice, cheesy goodness wrapped in bread and the yogurt dressing was to die for. Definitely would return

Absolutely delicious and the staff are wonderful 👏🏾

Excellent quality of food, wonderful, helpful and professional service, we couldn't be more pleased with our experience! Will definitely be visiting again soon, thank you!

Absolutely amazing food andamazing hospitality. My favourite Turkish restaurant in London.

Very well served 100% food quality. 👌👍🏿

Excellent food and service! Ertan and the female waitress particularly. Recommend the salmon and the hummus! Nice cocktails. Good knowledge of Ingredients for intolerances.

Amazing food, ambience and service. The staff were exceptional, specially Eran. Will definitely come again and recommend to friends. Efe’s thanks for an amazing evening.

We went for dinner with friends. Food was very delicious, customers service was excellent. Very friendly staff, nice restaurant.

Lovely service very traditional restaurant our waiter was so happy and the food was perfect with succulent chicken and tasty vegetables would come back here for the service and decor alone

If you're a fan of Turkish cuisine, Efes Restaurant is a must-visit! The food is absolutely exceptional, bursting with flavor and authenticity. From the tender kebabs to the rich, savory mezes, each dish is made with care and high-quality ingredients. The hummus and babaganoush are perfect starters, and the lamb dishes are perfectly cooked, with just the right balance of spices. The service is equally impressive. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always ready to offer recommendations. They go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome and have everything you need to enjoy your meal. Whether you’re new to Turkish food or a longtime fan, Efes offers an experience that’s hard to beat. Highly recommend for anyone looking to savor delicious, authentic Turkish dishes in a warm and inviting atmosphere!

Brilliant place. Great food & live music. Really nice Valentines night. Erkut was amazing!

I really enjoyed it here, the ambience and the staff were really welcoming! Definitely recommend!

Great service and lovely food, well worth a trip

Delicious food, such a great atmosphere and very attentive and friendly staff

Excellent tasty food ,the owner has been serving fantastic mediteranian food since 1970,Definatley worth a visit.

Will be back in the summer. Best affordable Turkish food in London. Cold draft from the door, people wearing coats at their table

Me and my friends came here for a meal and the service was great. The chefs and all the staff were friendly and we had a really good time - would definitely recommend. We even got a complimentary dessert AND fruit! We will definitely come back again!

It's the best. Be sure to visit on a Friday or Saturday night

I came here by chance and had a really fun time! Looking at the first floor, I thought it was a home-style house with a comfortable atmosphere, but there was a basement, hahaha. It was a whole new world. Go down to the basement. A new world unfolds!

I am a traveler from Korea. You're having the best experience at the best bar. There are many noisy pubs nearby, but if you want to enjoy romance and memories as a traveler, definitely come here.

A great place to feel authentic London You can also eat cup ramen. A must-visit place if you travel to London

The live cafe was a pleasant experience. Immerse yourself in Turkish music

The best Turkish restaurant I have had the pleasure of visiting outside of Türkiye. Excellent!!!! 10/10 in attention, atmosphere and food! There is nothing better than enjoying good and authentic food! Congratulations! I will return every time I return to London! Super recommended!!!

Staff very attentive. Food was delicious

Really good all round experience - I can understand why this place has been around so long but I doubt I can add much to the existing reviews. Old fashioned atmosphere, friendly staff. Portions are generous and the food very tasty. We shared a couple of meze, had a good main course and a drink each. Came to £79 including service, which seemed fair enough.

First time having Turkish but had an unbelievable experience. Our server Erin was nothing but the best and yeah the food was good. Everything is seasoned perfectly and spice level is accommodating for the whole family. Highly recommend 10/10 experience

Excellent birthday service, had the best dinner. Recommend to anyone who plans on booking bigger events!

Very cosy good food nice atmosphere

overpriced, children's portions, 2000s customer service, no hello, no goodbye, no thank you 🥱👀

Exceptional service and value. Brilliant night 👍

This authentic Turkish restaurant is part of the famous Efes chain. Efes restaurants are mainly in East London, but some may remember Efes II in Grt Portland St, this is the same owner Kazim. Very popular with London Black Taxi drivers, who always know where to get a good food & a kebab. Takeaway available, but be prepared to wait a bit for quality food. Efes is Good for solo diners, couples and large groups. I recommend you make a reservation, so not to be disappointed. Vegetarian, Fish, Halal available as well as special dietary requests. The owner insists on the very best quality meats, you won't be disappointed! Efes Restaurant is a 5 minute walk from Warren Street or Goodge St tube stations, less than 10 minutes from Tottenham Court Road. A good choice of traditional English pubs nearby, I recommend The King & Queen or Lore of the Land. Special dietary requirements catered for please ask. Enjoy your experience. We booked 12 friends for a late Xmas lunch & staid for dancing & drinks until late.

We traveled from Spain, great atmosphere, very good food and excellent treatment. Highly recommended.
