Mediterranean the best… (we all know that) and this place is just the perfect example! Delicious Turkish/ Greek specialties, reasonable prices and lovely staff. Easily on my top 3 favorite restaurants in JC!!
first of all my husband ordered the gyro I thought was gonna be nasty be gyro meat is always meh and dry . But WHAT???!!! Most juicy fatty delicious gyro ever !!!! So much flavor jn everything we got . Definitely coming back 10/10 and nice staff as well
I have dined in and ordered take-out from Efes.1. The quality and quantity of food/meat is superb for the price. Their lunch specials are my favorite.2. The place is neat and quiet. Service is very prompt. I usually just wait 15 - 20 min for my order to be ready if I am picking it up, even during peak lunch time.3. I had to change an order once placed because I made a mistake and they were extremely understanding and changed it for me.4. Both the lady and the guy at the front desk are polite and friendly. When we dined in, the lady saw we liked the spicy red harissa like sauce and came to our table to talk about it and explained about their hot smoked chili pepper being served after with the meal.5. Variety of desserts are available.
The grilled meats (lamb chops, lamb kebabs, gyro) are excellent. My youngest child, who is a very picky eater, especially loved the chicken kebabs and the cheese rolls. The food came in a timely manner, which were greatly appreciated. Great service as well! We'll be back to check out the lamb shank.
Great service from Isabella and great, simple, Turkish food. Nice babaganoush, excellent filo cheese straws and the mixed grill chicken, shish kebob and gyro beef/lamb mix meats were moist, flavorful and perfectly cooked.If you fancy a nice hint of spice and good ingredients, Efes is worth your custom.
Nice turkish restaurant we were there for the first time with our friends who visited from Virginia. They liked too. Plates is little small than other restaurants but food is delicious
Wow not only the food is amazing but also personnel is so friendly. Turan Mert helped us a lot to choose our food and he served us a cup of Turkish tea free.Prices are also so affordable according to the region. While we were eating, many delivery people came and their food is also ready each and every time. So Efes is great choice not only for dining in but also delivery. We definitely will come back!
Great addition to Jersey City's food scene!Service=======Excellent service and very friendly staff.What I've tried============Chicken AdanaChicken GrillDessert=======BaklavaTrilece (Spelling!)The meat was tender and very well cooked.I was pleasantly surprised and grill chicken brought back my chicken tikka memories from India.Chicken Adana had different spices and I liked that as well.Both the deserts were well made and I'm sure ill go back just to have the trilece again...and again.... :)Notable mention=============The dips and the bread (Turkish bread?) were delicious!Excellent staff, great ambience, amazing food and very reasonable price. Do try it out!
My wife and I have tried the following from here so far: Lamb shish kebab, chicken pirzola, lamb Adana yogurt, chicken kebab, cheese burger. Everything has been absolutely amazing in marination/flavor and properly cooked. Fresh and good portion. Please don’t change anything. Chicken pirzola in my opinion is x10 better than the chicken from peri peri.
Why is this place empty on a Friday night? Amazing food, great service, and calm and relaxing atmosphere. Do not miss out on the manti dumplings just wow ?That spinach and oil topping was amazing
