I recently dined at Cafe Efendi Mediterranean Restaurant and had a fantastic experience! The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with beautiful Turkish decor that set the perfect backdrop for our meal. We started with the meze platter, which was a delightful assortment of flavors—each dish was fresh and beautifully presented. The stuffed grape leaves were particularly outstanding! For the main course, I had the lamb chops and chicken Adana , which were incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned. The service was exceptional; our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. Overall, I highly recommend Cafe Efendi Mediterranean Restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Turkish cuisine. I can't wait to return!"
Great place for some excellent Mediterranean food and along with some good Hookah, and music. The food was truly amazing, delicious and flavorful. Highly recommended this place for great food, ambience and if you are not a loud music fan, the patio section is perfectly good.
The food was delicious! The service was very prompt and friendly! Big portions, we had plenty leftovers.
We visited Cafe Efendi with a group of four, and overall, it was a great experience. We ordered the mixed kabob platter for four, along with Shepherd’s salad, Kunefe, white chocolate cake, and spicy ezme. Everything was flavorful, and the rice pilaf was particularly good. The kabobs were tender but a bit overcooked for my taste—though I know some people prefer them that way, it was a little tough to chew. If you’re not a fan of well-done meat, it’s a good idea to specify how you’d like it cooked. The dessert was a nice touch, and the ambiance added to the experience. We sat inside, where the atmosphere started with some nice background music, followed by a live jazz player. While the jazz was lively, it got a bit loud, making it challenging to have conversations. The vibe is definitely more energetic at night, with a belly dancer adding to the fun. Overall, a great place for a lively dinner with good food and entertainment!
Great place for hookah ( though I visited only for dine in). Service and ambiance is excellent. Food is great too though the chicken kabab we ordered were not cooked throughly. All the other appetizers were delicious. Tried kunefe for the first time and enjoyed the same. Will definitely visit again.
