Went with a group of friends on Saturday for the first time. The food was amazing as was the service, atmosphere & value for money. Have to mention our waitress Lilly Worthington! Wow what an absolute delight she is, she made our visit even more special.

My partner and I chose Ephesus for our Valentine's meal as it's our favourite restaurant! We have been once before in it's current location for partner's birthday in December and our first meal together at Ephesus was in it's prior location. The food is outstanding, every time. The staff remember us, make us feel so welcome and are incredibly attentive (in the best way). It's also very aesthetically pleasing, beautiful light fittings!

First visit to the new premises, very impressed. The new building is well spaced out and elegant in design. Food and service better than ever, the excellent bottle of Yakut was a added bonus. In fact it was so good we had two! Everything was laid back and easy going, table ours for the evening so no rush. I wish Ephesus every success in its new venture, its obviously been a huge and much needed investment in the town of Torquay

Visited Ephesus following reviews on Trip Advisor and we weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent, as well as being really good value. The one minor criticism was how quick it all came out - we were still eating our starter when the waitress asked if we were ready for our mains! Would definitely recommend - food very tasty.

This is a Turkish / Greek restaurant which my wife & I enjoyed visiting on a recent trip to Torquay. It was busy throughout the evening but service was prompt and attentive nonetheless. Whilst it was clear that covid rules were being observed, it is one of the few places we have been since May which felt like pre-pandemic times with a great atmosphere. The food was very good and there are plenty of vegetarian options too.

I've been to a lot of restaurants where it's obvious that their main priority is making money, and that giving a great dining experience is somewhere else down the list. This is one of those.Drinks - £5.50 for a pint of lager, £2 for a pint of soda water - an extra 50p if you want a single slice of lime in that. Seriously, if you're gonna charge 2 quid for 10p worth of soda, at least put the effort into making it taste great with a decent amount of lime eh?Starter - 10 piece sharing meze for 2. £15. So £1.50 per piece. The 2 little fried cheese things were great, but the other 3 things were poor. If you're gonna make a meatball, dont give me something pound coin sized for 1.50, make it golf ball sized. The rolled up pastry thing was meant to have some filling in there somewhere I think ...The "salad" was a few bits of lettuce. There was some houmos that tasted of nothing.Main course, I had the £19 mixed meat souvlaki. This was 2x chicken wings, 2x 2inch squares of lamb, a reasonable sized lump of chicken and a 5inch long sheek kebab type thing. All if it tasted pretty good, but was really pretty dry. You get no kind of sauce whatsoever to help you out. You do get some "salad" which is some lettuce, 1 slice of cucmber and 1 slice of tomato.My wife had the mixed seafood dish which was a number of bits of seafood in a 5inch round bowl (2inch deep) all of it in the same sauce with some cheese on top.None of it was terrible.But this is meant to be greek/turkish right? How is it not possible to get a pita bread in a greek restaurantWhere was the olive oil?The lemon?Where was the tahini in the houmos?When you make a salad - would it kill you to put a couple of olives on ?Nothing in our £55 meal (1 beer, 1 soda, 1 shared starter, 2 mains) felt like we'd been to a greek restaurant because all the corners had been cut, and consequently everything that makes a great greek meal - wasn't there.I appreciate this is a seaside resort, you expect to pay a little more, margins might be a little tighter, but when it's at the expense of making a decent meal - then you've entirely missed the point.Go to the nearest kebab shop, you'll save a lot of money and get something a lot more tasty.

Started with cold meze - didn’t come with very much bread, the hummus was bland and didn’t taste homemade, there was a tasty aubergine dish but the rest of the meze was very disappointing...My main dish was a stuffed aubergine that was also very bland - it was stuffed mainly with capsicums and large chunks of onion that were al dante as the dish hadn’t been cooked long enough in the oven. Conversely my wife’s seafood dish was very good so maybe only veggies should avoid this place??

Such a wonderful find. Managed to get a table the same day and was not disappointed. Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling too hungry so didn’t have a starter despite there being so much choice. So opted for just some bread. I had the lamb souvlaki for the main which was so tender and delicious and perfect for not being overly filling. I had the chocolatini cocktail for dessert as the options didn’t really grab me and didn’t want anything filing again. This was so sweet! Definitely would recommend here.

Booked this restaurant for our last night in Torquay and we were really looking forward to it as we love Greek food and we should have been on holiday in Crete. Our starters were fine the Tzatziki and Hummus and the Greek wine was also very nice. It was when the main courses arrive that we were disappointed, my husband ordered the stifado which he said was very bland and tasted more like a beef stew. I ordered the chicken souvlaki and although the chicken was tasty I am used to having onions and peppers served with it but it was simply chicken and rice.The decor of the restaurant is lovely but the gentleman who is front of house was not very friendly and didn't make any effort to ask how our meal was, he spent most of his time just wandering up and down thinking himself very important apart from when he was talking to one table who were obviously friends of his.

The meze was enough for 2 and all elements of it were lovely. The tzatziki was the best we have had outside of Greece. For mains we had the steffados and kleftico. Both dishes were served with rice and were delicious. A bottle of the house red accompanied the dishes splendidly. A coffee and liquor finished the night off.

The staff are lovely, the decor lovely...had heard fab things about the place so was very excited to be going there for my birthday. Had calamari starter which was nice and baklava for dessert which was lovely... i was happy with them. The main course was disappointing however...i chose moussaka which i usually love...sadly it was very bland with very little flavour in fact the rice with a hint of nutmeg had more flavour. There was very little minced lamb or eggplant and at one end was a rather large thick piece of potato which was still partly raw in the centre due to its thickness and as it was at the end i ate last i didnt bother sending it back as the moussaka was mostly eaten by then...i am sure this cant be a usual thing as others have commented on how good the moussaka is...sadly it was a deal breaker for me and i wont be going back.....my partner enjoyed his meal however and price wise my partner thought it was very reasonable....it just spoilt my birthday meal that moussaka

We visited this restaurant on a Monday when most of the independent restaurants are not open. It was busy and clearly does good business. I think it may be better for meat eaters - I felt the 2 vegetarian dishes we had were fairly over-reliant on cheese and that was the main strong flavour. Perfectly acceptable food but for me it didn't stand out. It was about £14 for a small dish of vegetarian moussaka. The place seemed clean enough and the staff were fine. We try and support independent businesses and so it was ok for a Monday night when most others were closed

We booked in here at 9.15pm on a Saturday night whilst staying in Torquay we booked late as we prefer to eat later without the rush with a time limit on the table. The place was buzzing the staff very efficient and Friendly they came and took a drinks order and said there would be a delay in taking the food order which was fine by us. Bottle of wine arrived within a few minutes and order taken. We opted for the hot mixed mezze for two when ordering we also asked for a pause between starter being cleared and mains served. As there’s nothing worse than having starters cleared and mains served straight away in my mind.The starter was lovely and the waitress when clearing our plates confirmed that we still wanted a pause and then came back over to see how we were doing. Main courses were 2 x mixed slouvaki with rice and salad came hot and fresh. Very pleasant evening in all

Very, very rushed service; obvious that the food was already plated up and queued to come out. My wife’s chicken was well over cooked and dry, my meat ball in bread had obviously been standing a while. We complained about the chicken and they did send out a really fresh dish that had obviously been cooked to order. Shame that it is not all cooked to order. People will be pleased to wait a short time if the food is freshly cooked. It was all very, very rushed.

Returned here as the food has always been good and to be fair from that perspective there was no issue, however the dining experience wasn’t good at all, the place was busy but there seemed a concerted effort to turn over the tables as quickly as possible, that led to rather conveyor belt type service with a few mistakes and a lack of customer focus. It’s a pity really as the food is good but the policy of pack them in and pack them out is unlikely to pay long term particularly as it’s not cheap and service can be bettered elsewhere.

My husband and I stayed in Torquay for the bank holiday weekend in August 2020 and were dining out for my birthday.We found the staff to be very welcoming and the service to be excellent. The restaurant was very clean and adhered to all government regulations for Covid-19.My husband had a special chicken dish which he thoroughly enjoyed and I had a vegetarian moussaka which was amazing. We would certainly recommend this place to anyone and would also return on our next visit to Torquay.

Having read several reviews and planned a 3 day stay in Torquay was looking forward to visiting Ephesus. Sadly,extremely disappointed. Arrived 7.20 for a 7.30 booking. Promptly taken to our table. Waiter immediately provided menus. 5 mins later ordered drinks. So far so good.waiter returned with drinks and took food orders.Specifically explained to the waiter my wife didnt want a starter. So i ordered the platter for one and actually pointed to the menu and price. It was listed at £8.50 for a single portion and £14.50 for 2 persons. The starter came and was enormous. At this point i probably should have enquired if they had made a mistake. We both tucked into the many samples of all the hot starters. Majority of which were delicious. I told my wife take your time and make sure you leave enough room for your main course. We had barely caught our breath when a waitress asked if we had finished, she cleared the table and within 20 seconds our main courses were plonked in front of us. That was quick i remarked, "They have been ready for ages" came the reply. My wife had opted for the beef stifado which was heavily overspiced with pieces of grainy beef. Poor!! I swapped my lamb souflaki, which was faultless with succulent pieces of beautifully marinated lamb fillet. Unfortunately this was the only real highlight of the entire evening. My wife was struggling with her lager so i ordered a second large glass of house red, which was quite pleasant. No sooner had I received this, then the original waiter appeared enquiring had we paid the bill which I received with the wine. I promptly paid the bill, which for the first time ever did not include a tip!! Obviously keen to free up the table. We took our time over our drinks Platter for 2(which should have been 1) £14.50Beef stifado. £13.95Lamb souflaki. £16.25Pint Carlsberg. £4.502 lge glass house red. £13.00 Total. £62.50Overall food quality. 3*Value for money. 2*Service. 1*Very disappointed. Cant recommend

We tried this popular Greek restaurant on the last night of our holiday. It is very popular so I recommend booking in advance.The food is excellent. We were spoilt for choice on the extensive menu. We had the beef stifado and the chicken and lamb souvlaki and greek bread. All of it was delicious. As ws the draft Efes beer.Staff were pleasant and the service was quick.The price was a bit expensive for the portion size (hence the 4 out of 5, and not 5 out of 5) but not for the taste!

We had a lot of fish in Devon and wanted a change and I am very glad we came here. The staff were wonderful and accommodating and the food. WAS. GREAT.I am originally from Egypt and thus am very picky when it comes to middle-eastern / mediterranean food. This food was truly delicious and was fresh also. We ordered their grills (Chicken and Lamb) and some salad also.Overall it was truly delicious food and would highly suggest for people to go, but to book in advance.
