Amazing first visit! This was my first time at Efes Restaurant (Whitechapel) and it was such an amazing experience. The customer service was the best I’ve experienced they were so welcoming and even brought a few complimentary dishes (bread, sauces, salad, and tea at the end) which was such a nice touch. We had a lovely small chat with the waitresses, which made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, with generous portions. I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be coming back!

A recent, first time visit to this restaurant with family including our 11 year old grandaughter. The prices are reasonable and the staff were so friendly and accommodating to our varied, dietary needs. The food was so delicious, I am bringing some friends along for a social get together evening meal

One of my favorite Turkish restaurants in the area! I’ve been here many times, and the quality is always outstanding. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic a great example of traditional Turkish cuisine done right. From the tender grilled meats to the perfectly seasoned sides, everything is prepared with great attention to detail. The service is friendly and efficient, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. It’s also a big plus that the restaurant stays open late, which makes it a convenient option for a delicious meal, even in the later hours. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality, authentic Turkish food.

We had a lovely night at Efes Whitechapel. The food was grilled to perfection.. loved the shish and adana! Great flavours. The sides complement the meal, and it was great value for money. Service was excellent, the staff really look after you 😊
