Efes wine & tapas bar in Chiltern

Great food, fantastic service all polished off with a few cocktails what more do you want! Handled a big group like ours perfectly!

Wow! What a place this is! Efes Tapas Bar is a must-visit for anyone craving amazing cocktails and incredible food. The tapas menu is packed with flavorful dishes like grilled chorizo, crispy patatas bravas, and perfectly grilled prawns. The cocktails are expertly crafted, offering a perfect pairing with the food. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Whether you’re there for a casual night out or a special occasion, Efes offers an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Great service, great food every time I’ve visited. Definitely recommend

We went efes last night and everything was lovely! Thank you to the team!

Been to this restaurant so many times, recommend it to everyone when asking for a good restaurant, staff go above and beyond and the food is incredible! Can’t recommend enough

There is always a best but in this region there are some of the best

We visited Efes last night and all I can say is WOW the service and manners of all staff were impeccable and the food was unreal! It’s so hard to try and find a nice restaurant that has both of these but with Efes you will not be disappointed! There is a wide variety of meat, fish, vegetarian & gluten free options available so they generally cater for everyone! The atmosphere as well was so lovely, would be a great spot for a Friday or Saturday night for drinks as well, will definitely be going back on a weekend for sure! If you are looking for a new spot to eat then Efes is your place! Thank you for a great night filled with amazing food!

I can’t recommend Efes enough, the food and the service is unmatched. They have a stunning outdoor seating area and a stylish inside area for when it’s colder, the staff are so lovely and welcoming which just tops off the whole experience.

Everything was perfect I recommend it to everyone

Efes? More like Effin Fantastic!!! We celebrated a birthday here recently and have never felt so welcome in a restaurant. The service team are so helpful especially when trying to decide which one of the fabulous cocktails you want, and the food was out of this world!! If you’re thinking of going, do it 😊

I visited efes with one of my best friends last week the customer service that I got there was very fabulous and the food was really tasty and at reasonable prices. The atmosphere was very pleasant and amazing.

Food was amazing, service was great! Thank you effes!

The food is AMAZING!! The staff are so friendly and helpful. We drove over an hour to have lunch here!

Really can’t fault Efes Tapas Bar. Such great food and great atmosphere!

Incredible service ALWAYS! Food is 10/10 & staff are super friendly. One of my favourite restaurants!!

Very bad service,irresponsible staff.who don't know what they are there for.

Food was overpriced, never go again. Toilet was dirty as well. Staff just looking your face, no any smile, and no any warm welcoming.

Efes Tapas Bar in Chalfont is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, Arif and his team make you feel welcome with their professionalism and warm hospitality. The service is top-notch, attentive without being intrusive. Now, let's talk about the food—absolutely divine! Every dish is packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Whether you're a fan of traditional Turkish flavors or just love great tapas, you won’t be disappointed. The variety ensures there’s something for everyone, and each bite is a delight. And of course, the cocktails—let’s just say they did the job! Well-balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the amazing food. Efes Tapas Bar is a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether it’s a casual night out or a special occasion, Arif and his team will make sure you leave happy and satisfied. Highly recommended!

Food was overpriced and not that good. I would not go there again. We ordered an efes mezze, lamb skewer (on stick only for £12!!!), falafel with hummus and fried squid. The bill came to £70! We didn’t have alcohol just two ginger ales and one tonic water and tap water. Halloumi was plastic-like and not heated through. The falafel were overcooked and falling apart. The chicken spring rolls in the mezze had sausage meat in them, was tasteless. Olives and borek samosas and sucuk were tasty. Overall didn’t enjoy it and felt ripped off.

Great day/evening at this lovely restaurant. The host was amazing. Vert attentive.

Had a large family lunch here yesterday and had a great experience. The restaurant is warm and welcoming, as is the service. The food was delicious, especially the grilled meat skewers.

We were away for the weekend and wanted to go somewhere nice for lunch, wanted something a bit different. We came across Efes on Google and saw it had good reviews. What a great find. The best tapas we have ever had. All the food was delicious and plenty of it. The service was excellent, the wine was great and the food exceptional. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. Was also nice that we were the only ones in the restaurant for most of out lunch. We will be back.

We had a mid-week dinner and was very impressed to see how busy it was. The food was fabulous and the service very attentive.

Bit of an odd place, strange mix of Spanish and Turkish 'tapas'. Service started off well, but deteriorated when people were sitting by the bar and nobody was checking tables. Food was average, don't bother with the mixed starters. Also, when there are more than 4 it is difficult to share dishes. A bit expensive for what it was. A bit difficult to sit because where we were there were sofas, not chairs.

Food and drinks were unreal! Service was very good and the staff were amazingly friendly. Would definitely recommend Efes bar to anyone who wants to go have great food😍✌🏽 10/10

Took my partner here for some food after hearing good reviews was not let down as the food was lovely the staff were helpful and the atmosphere was good the owner even took the time to have a chat to us which made us feel more welcome would defo recommend

Food and drinks were fantastic! Service was great and the staff were soo friendly. Would definitely recommend Efes bar to anyone.

I’ve come here as a local multiple times with family, friends and on a date and the food and atmosphere are always superb. I came with friends for a leaving do and we ordered so many dishes which managed to come out all together and tasted incredible. I’m a vegetarian and there were sooo many options for me as the menu is big but my friends loved the kebabs. My sisters and I have said for years that Efes does the best cocktails we’ve had in and around London. The manager & waiters are super friendly and make every customer feel like a special guest. Would definitely recommend.

Sorry guys, used to be good. Waited an hour for any food to arrive, was very substandard , frozen chips , pate?🤔 nibbles came out with main course (nibbles are named for a reason to nibble while you wait for food) which given the time …. Put drinks n our bill that we didn’t have , poor service poor food!

The most incredible experience and something for everyone. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to hold our engagement party, we had 60 guests on Sunday 1st September. Arif, the owner did everything possible to make it the most special day. The staff were incredible, very attentive, always on the move asking people if they wanted more drinks. Nothing was to much and we felt so at ease. People are still messaging me saying how good the food was and can’t wait to go back for a date night. They will tailor every aspect of your special events and make sure your day is one to remember and everybody leaves happy. An amazing place and we’re so happy we chose Efes for our party, thank you Arif and team.

I came to this bar with my friends last Tuesday, we had our mini girls party there and the best cocktails we ever tasted in our lives!! I tried the grilled salmon which was super delicious, the sauce is unbelievable and the atmosphere there is so young and welcoming, not forgetting to mention the super friendly and attentive staff 😅

At little chalfont: Good service but flies everywhere (blue bottles). Trendy place and surprisingly quite full for Wednesday evening. Pricey for small portions, eg Mediterranean salad in a small bowl full of red onions and a tomato for £9. We ordered Grilled seabass and it was fried with fried baby potatoes. Service charge 12.5%

My first visit to this establishment was very impressed with every aspect and I couldn't believe how busy it was on a Thursday night. The food selection was broad from tapas bits and bobs to burgers. Staff were very attentive.

The meat sharing platter for 2 was lovely but would feed 3 hungry people, then you add your veg dishes which again were lovely but by the time you are half way through you're full, especially after the lovely starters, cheesy mushrooms were great but approx. 8 on a plate for 1 person. Would recommend but ask about the portion sizes before you order if you don't want to waste food. Would be great if you could have a half meat half fish sharing platter "surf and turf style", must admit, we didn't ask if it was possible. Overall, very nice.

Very nice food service was excellent and the waiters were very helpful and and attentive food was delicious the restaurant was clean

we went here with two of my best mates and had an amazing time. the food was delicious (highly recommend the pork belly, mac n cheese croquettes and prawn tempura), it all looked and tasted fresh and handmade! the food paired perfectly with their cocktails, especially the grey goose. the cozy atmosphere and friendly top notch service made it a fantastic evening. highly recommend!!!

We eat out very often at many different restaurants and decided a Tapas was a good idea so having googled Tapas close to home Google came up with Efes Wine and Tapas Bar in Little Chalfont on a Sunday evening. We ordered a nice bottle of white wine, then some Halloumi and the Tapas special. We had just started to eat when the waiter asked if the food was ok, I hadn’t yet had time to try it so I just gave him an affirmative nod. We both agreed that the Halloumi was just warm and too rubbery to enjoy, The Chorizo was rough cut in pieces 3/4” thick, the King Prawns were overcooked and the Mushrooms Al Ajilo had barely any flavour of garlic. Altogether a very disappointing meal, we conveyed this to the waiter who arranged a 20% discount for which I thank him and we left. I would not recommend the food we had as in my opinion it was perhaps not freshly cooked and not of good quality.

Amazing place for a baby shower!! The way the manager set out the chairs and tables and took control of the decoration for us was spot on especially where we had a-lot going on was a stress relief for sure. Got brilliant feedback from family and friends about the venue with the decor and food. Food was unspeakably beautiful. We got the cold and hot tapas with cheeses boards. Staff was there to assist as of when which was another stress off mine and my partner’s mind’s and more so there was enough parking which was nice. Really recommend…

Went on a Monday night and still had great atmosphere. Service was exceptional - will definitely be back!

Another great visit to Efe's. As always the food, service and ambience were excellent. Francesco and the team are always so attentive and helpful and the food is delicious. Also a belated big thank you for the superb birthday lunch for my wife and fifteen family members a few weeks ago. Everyone, of all ages 12 ~ 75, thoroughly enjoyed it and it all went like clockwork. Many thanks to everyone at Efe's and see you again soon .

Good friendly tapas bar, just had drinks. Best bar in Little Chalfont

Really lovely leisurely lunch. Very kind and friendly staff who served us. Chilled atmosphere. Mix between Greek and Spanish. Loved the prawns and sangria. Felt like we were on holiday. Beautiful decor.

Food was delicious and prices not extortionate considering the quality. Some really interesting tapas and excellent vegetarian options. First class tiramisu and cheesecake. Very friendly staff/owner and nice ambience.

I just want to thank you so much for the wonderful food and hospitality. First time visiting, will not be the last! The owner is a great guy, and he happily made adjustments to the set menu items for us to enjoy. Thank you again, see you very very soon.

Fantastic lunch. Hadn't been here before - will definitely return soon. Wonderful service. Very friendly without being intrusive. We had the seafood platter. Very good. Wine list reasonable - a number of ok priced bottles. Served perfectly - chilled glasses, proper ice bucket with actual ice. Premises seemed to be spotlessly clean. Couple of points - there were shell-om prawns in our dish. So a finger bowl would have been good. We didn't get a check back (is everything ok). Had we had this, I would have asked for mayo or tartar sauce. No problem but would have been nice. When the bill came, I examined it. As I always do. Waiter brought the menu so I could check the prices. I didn't need this but I thought that was a nice touch. I would recommend this lovely little restaurant with no hesitation. I am looking forward to a return visit.

Had a lovely meal here last weekend! My friend and I really enjoyed the Bellini’s and Mac & Cheese croquettes!! The place is beautifully decorated and the staff are so attentive, especially the guy with curly hair (sorry I didn’t catch your name). Thanks so much again for a lovely evening!!

Expensive place!so so food quality

I booked a private party at Efes and from start to finish everything ran so perfectly. Arif was fantastic at helping recommend menu options and suggested seating plans etc. On the day Chloe & Ricardo couldn’t have been more helpful along with ALL the staff! They really know how to cater for a party and the atmosphere was great! Had so many comments from friends & family on how amazing the staff were and nothing was too much trouble. Food & drink was incredible as always!!! If you want fab food, brilliant staff and great atmosphere this is the place to come!!!

What a superb restaurant this is, very friendly atmosphere and staff food is superb with lots of variety. I have been back plenty of times and will continue to do so.

Fabulous restaurant. I come here regularly and always receive top service. Food is second to none!

The most amazing food. Friendly staff and cozy vibe. The perfect date night.

Good service and good atmosphere with the customers but the food is poor. The main kebabs are okay, nothing amazing, the starters are quite poor quality in my honest opinion. We had jalepeno bites and garlic mushrooms which seemed just like supermarket quality stuff with a big mark up.

Excellent food from an extensive menu served by very friendly and attentive staff in a warm atmosphere.

we have visited Efes tapas many times, staff are always friendly and we ate there 24/01/24 and the usual dish I love , was not on the menu, but they made it for me upon request. very happy with the service. food was delicious as always. will be returning. was impressed with customer service to accomodate me.

Great Tapas, great service and a brilliant ambiance

Beautiful food at a reasonable price, even that alcohol drinks are reasonably priced. Really enjoyed myself tonight. You can really see why it’s hard to get a booking here.

Really incredible food, great service and nice atmosphere. One of my favourite spots!

We organised our 14 year olds birthday lunch and have to say it was superbly delivered by Ricardo and the team. Great food, lovely service and great atmosphere!! They even did a cake presentation we had asked for and let the children stream their own music via their sound system. Thanks team Efes for a wonderful lunch!

Staff member was on his own...but was still so attentive and friendly. Great food but only a couple of tables occupied so very quiet

Without doubt the worst tapas I’ve ever had. Straight from the freezer to the deep fat fryer. Nothing fresh or home made, all pre prepared and tasteless. Croquettes, the staple of any tapas restaurant were rock hard. The whole place smells of burnt deep fat fryer oil and the service is underwhelming. It’s honestly hard to believe the good reviews on here are of the same restaurant. Extremely disappointing and way overpriced for what it offers.

Great cocktails, friendly service, decent food although looked more flavourful than it tasted, busy buzzy vibe on a Saturday night which is hard to find around this area. Would return.

A massive thank you to Aaron for a fabulous evening. Food and service were outstanding. And a special thanks for making my birthday special. I will be back again. Tapas was amazing.

Lovely food, even catered greatly for vegetarian meal. Great service despite being busy. Attentive staff and manager Arif even came to meet me and my partner to welcome us and even thank us for custom at the end of the meal. Thoroughly recommend!

Went for an evening meal with some friends and the food and drinks were perfect. Lot of choice of cocktails on the drinks menu and the tapas was all lovely.Cannot fault the food or service at all, will definitely be back!

What a great evening at Efes Tapas & Wine bar. From the food to the service everything was top top quality. Atmosphere was very welcoming, would definitely recommend to anyone.

Love this place!! Excellent food and service. Me and hubby's favourite date nights are here. Recommend to everyone 👍

Table booked for 8pm, our starters arrive around 9pm, then our main not until about 10pm, which was more of an overcooked bbq!. terrible service and terrible food. Such a shame as we were all looking forward to it.

Genuinely one of the best restaurant's around!!! Me and my wife have always enjoyed tapas and have been on the lookout for one that had the right quality and atmosphere. We first tried efes about 18 months ago and it has never disappointed. The food is excellent, quick and attentive service with the staff always very welcoming. Portions are large and very fairly priced! It is now a favourite of ours where we have taken friends and family ever since so they can sample how amazing this restaurant is! A special mention for the owner arif. He has always looked after us when we come and takes time out of his busy service to have a chat and see how we are. We love it here and we are often there a couple of times a month its that good Cannot recommend highly enough. Look forward to coming back soon !

It was a delicious dinner in a wonderful atmosphere, very tasty! Service was very good & kind. Will definitely come back very soon and bring more friends . Thank you for a wonderful evening

First time here & loved it! We went on a Friday night. It was busy but service was still quick & efficient. Great cocktail choice. The food was fresh, tasty & big portions. Lovely atmosphere. Will defiantly be returning. Special shout out to the owner who was very friendly & chatty. We had a great evening. Thank you.

Overpriced for what it is and confused about what it’s trying to be. American, Spanish, Greek, Turkish? My friend ordered a burger and for £13 it was underwhelming. It wasn’t served with any chips or salad, just a burger on a wooden tray. I ordered the chicken skewer for £8.95. It was 5 small cubes of chicken with two slices of grilled pepper and one slice of aubergine, not even a small salad garnish or piece of flat bread to accompany it. I would have rather paid £2 extra for some rice / bread. It feels like they are trying to upsell on sides, rather than charging a fair price for a well rounded main. The Padron peppers were good though and service was ok. Maybe we should have just gone for the Tapas.

We had a family lunch for my husband birthday and we loved the atmosphere, the guys were so welcoming and suggested the best plates. I mentioned that I would like to enjoy one day a Borraquito there as a dessert drink( liquor coffee usually served in Canarias)

Very nice mediterran cuisine. Super friendly service.

Good food although drinks make it over priced.

This was our first visit ( group of 10) for my daughters birthday. The food was great, and really good size portions. Top service and really friendly. Food came out hot and all at the same time which is so good when there is a big group. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, Everybody loved it at Efes and we will be back and recommending to all our friends.

Don't like service charge staff good

The staff are very friendly and professional. The ambiance is nice, modern and fresh looking. The Sauvignon Blanc we had was nice. The food was below average particularly the tasteless babaganoush (not smoked) and tasteless patatas bravas (no spice at all). I wouldn’t recommend it for food, but maybe just the vegetarian options are made bland?

Popped into this little gem last week and I was blown away with the food and cocktails! Will definitely visit again very soon

The meat board was disgusting and the parma ham / prosciutto was old and turning yellow, the chorizo was hard and not easy to swallow as if it’s been refrigerated. They had mac and cheese croquettes were most definitely store bought. All the food wasn’t fresh, it most definitely didn’t taste fresh at-least, chicken skewers was rubbery and patatas bravas was overly large unappealing to even look at, disgusting food. If they think this is okay to be serving this type of food to their customers their manager needs help. Service was appalling, a couple sat behind us had their starters we ordered and they bring us our food and they were still sat, waiting for their main for about 40 minutes which was just a lamb skewer ??? I don’t really want to be hearing the bathroom toilet flush when I eat either, the only decent thing I put in my mouth when I came here was hummus and bread. Couldn’t even bring a good bottle of wine out. Don’t waste ur money on this overly priced food that isn’t fresh or authentic but a disgrace to the area. Save your tastebuds.

Celebrated my 40th birthday at EFES and it was wonderful! Arif made sure everything ran smoothly as he promised and it was night to remember! All my guests had an amazing time and they complimented the EFES team a lot! Overall it was a great experience and definitely a place I recommend for private venue hire! Thank you EFES team for making my birthday so special!

Great place to eat and chat with friends, the team are friendly and helpful and food is excellent.

very good restaurant to spend some time with ones you love. Lovely food and smiling stuff.

Amazing evening. Fabulous food and service as always!

Gem of a place - brilliant service (big shout out to Danny, great guy!), great atmosphere and amazing menu. Highly recommend!

Amazing atmosphere !!! Amazing Staff doing there job very professionally 10/10 , Amazing Food , Loved it !!

Very nice food and very good service, we mostly ate the Greek food and found it great we had a platter so lots of variety. I didn't have any alcohol but it looks like they had lots to choose from and at a good price. Only downside was it was a bit hard to park. Luckily I was able to park outside the shops as it was after 6.

Myself and my friend had such a lovely meal at Efes this evening. Yummy tapas, amazing service and lovely cocktails. Highly recommend!

Meal wasn’t too bad but the prawns taste bland and not as described, they always taste like they are going out of date, the order was brought out wrong twice and just the service all round wasn’t great tbh. It’s a shame as it was fantastic when they first opened.

Lovely little place. Nice atmosphere and lovely staff. I thought the food was very much not OK. Ordered a good variety to try and wasn’t blown away with anything. Portions are huge, but generally lack taste. Quite pricey however the portions are very generous. The avocado salad was nice. The rest of the order not so much. Probably stick to just having a drink here.

Lovely place, friendly people, tasty food. Highly recommended. :)

Really welcoming staff despite dealing with a huge group of us; the food and cocktails were great!

Have eaten in the restaurant and got take away food to cater for a party. Both times the food has been amazing and service excellent - definitely recommend!

Excellent food, good attention from the workers and speed to serve dinner

I booked Efes for my mum’s 50th birthday, and it was such a great experience. The food was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff were amazing and made the dinner so lovely. The evening was flawless, I would definitely book again.

Delicious food, affordable prices, just a bit long for service.

Had an brilliant birthday night out meal at Efes, the food was really delicious and the staff were really welcoming, very attentive and very helpful. It was highly appreciated. The atmosphere is definitely really unique and vibrant. All of the food options were to a really high standard in terms of presentation and flavours. I highly recommend Efes and the service provided by the staff.

Popped in last minute and hadn’t booked. We got the last table! Fab outside spot. Really enjoyable food, drink and atmosphere. Busy with energy and smiles. Will definitely go back. Top tip: book in advance

Great little find. Lovely array of tapas and mains. Friendly service and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for?

Delicious mediterranean food freshly made to order and great for sharing with friends and family. Short summary Atmosphere - trendy and welcoming Staff and management - helpful and friendly Kid friendly - yes Menu and range selection - good hearty selection of food which will fill you up very quickly Recommend to friends and family - yes Cleanliness - yes Note - parking is a bit far and not many spaces available.

Lovely food and very good service even when they were very busy.
