Visited with my daughter for the first time. I ordered Garlic mushrooms as a starter and chargrilled chicken skewers and side salad for main. The chicken was really good, cooked to perfection, but unfortunately the garlic mushrooms although tasted good were a bit cold inside. I didn't bother complaining as it was just the starter, but other than that we enjoyed the rest of our lunch and drinks.

Just a bit disappointed as i was expecting the food to be a bit better perhaps it is because they only gave us the festive menu even though i asked for a la carte they said no. The festive menu has a very small choice so i do not recommend going whilst they give the festive menu. The lamb shank was soft, tender and nice but it was served cold especially inside the shank, it was not cooked in the sauce, of course it is cooked in advance and heated up but make sure you reheat meat fully. The small dish it comes in makes it difficult to eat with the rice seperate it should be served in one plate like they serve kebabs it would be much easier to eat. The starter was half yes only half an avocado with prawns obviously the prawns were frozen and defrosted which is fine however it was evident they had been defrosted in warm or hot water which "overcooked" them a bit, tell the kitchen to defrost prawns in cold water only. Whilst the baklava was nice enough im not sure how fresh it was as it had a slight after taste though the chopped nuts on top helped. Overall an okay meal however from looking at other reviews i was expecting the food to be really good or even something special which it just was not, so will not be hurrying back,

We ordered lentil soup, which arrived cold. We returned it and they heated it for us. We ordered delicious adana kebab, and a sweet eggplant moussaka. They gave us a salad for free because they were late with food. I recommend eating there. I asked for onions, but what they brought was not what was required.

Authentic Turkish food in the Heart of Glasgow . The place was buzzing with atmosphere and staff were friendly and attentive. We tried a mix kebab and a chicken skewer type kebab and they were both amazing and fresh. But what makes this place amazing is the accompanying sides that come with Turkish food , like the delicious Turkish salad / cabbage and the balloon bread with garlic butter was so fresh and amazing. Also kids friendly ( chicken nuggets & chips etc ) which was extremely important to us as a lot of authentic places usually do not accommodate. Really impressed with this place and we will definitely be back .

By far the loudest rowdiest restaurant I’ve ever been to! The tables are super small and all tucked up together so it’s really hard to even hear or speak to the person next to you :( The starters were REALLY good (hummus and baba ganoush needed a pinch of salt and some lemon), pink lady was our favorite Main dishes were a disappointment, we had the vegetarian mousakka and the grilled salmon and they were tasteless :( Adana kebab was average. The staff were super sweet and accommodating especially our server Victoria!! They made the experience worthwhile. I would probably come back just for the mezze and maybe for lunch because the volume at dinner was unbearable.

We ordered a mixed grill along with a couple of sides and it all tasted very bland. The sauces given with it were awful! The portions were also very small! Service was also poor. Kitchen was closed after we placed our order and we were unable to order more food although other people sitting beside us were yet still able to order desserts? Special treatment for others eh?

Terrible service, would not recommend. I called ahead to check if the kitchen was still open, and the person on the phone confirmed it was but mentioned it wouldn't be for long. After asking where I was coming from (Sauchiehall Street), he reassured me that it was fine and they'd see me when I arrived. I left immediately, but when I got to Efes, I was told the kitchen had just closed. I explained that I was told we'd have a table, but he dismissed me, saying we were 3 minutes late. His attitude was almost laughable. There are plenty of other Turkish restaurants in Glasgow with much better service. Avoid this place!

Booked a table for west end restaurant as a change from our usual at St Vincent street. Was my wife’s birthday and we do enjoy the tapas and cocktails at Cafe Andaluz. Food was great as always. Staff were okay but not as good as other restaurant. One issue was after our tapas and drinks we declined the offer for dessert due to being full. Hoping to order another drink we were then given the bill without asking. This was only 45 minutes into our table reservation. Bit of a negative end feeling like being forced out the door. Looks like we will be going back to our preferred restaurant at St Vincent street in future.

Went for my birthday. Not too long after I left I am feeling unwell until the next day. I just read another review to depicting my experience. My potato’s were black and hid by sauce. I took some home so looked at it afterwards. I also took home baklava which was two tea spoon sizes in a box (I kid you not) soaked in oil and undercooked hidden by honey. 60 pounds I spent. Service was pleasant boy but smug. Owner looked like hell and smelled like he needed a wash when I walked past him to leave and his behaviour was unfriendly and dreary. Horrible place! I will be reporting this and demanding my money back. Terrible experience -
