Truest Mediterranean I've Found in the ATL! This was a very pleasant surprise and wish we'd known about it sooner. The food is fresh, authentic and fairly priced. But go to experience the service - it's outstanding, you will truly feel like a family guest!

Vegetarian options: They can easily adapt to your requests

My husband and I recently had a wonderful hookah and drink date night at Cafe Efendi Mediterranean Restaurant, and it was an experience to remember! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a welcoming staff member at the door, which set a delightful tone for our evening.

We chose to sit at the bar, where the bartender was exceptionally friendly and attentive. Our appetizer, hummus, was simply delicious and paired perfectly with the fresh pita bread.

For drinks, my husband enjoyed a kettle of hot Turkish black tea, while I savored a glass of Prosecco wine. Both choices were delightful! We also ordered what is said to be the best hookah in town. I opted for the refreshing mint flavor, while my husband chose a mix of orange and mint that was equally enjoyable.

Throughout our time there, the staff checked in on us periodically, ensuring we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, further enhanced by a captivating belly dancer performance that added a unique touch to our night.

To wrap up our evening, we indulged in the best lemon drop shots, which were the perfect ending to a fantastic night. Overall, we had the best time enjoying our food, drinks, and the lively ambiance. Cafe Efendi is definitely a gem, and we can't wait to return for another memorable experience!

We went there for a breakfast. And I think it was overall a good experience. Food was great and I can recommend it! Only thing is instead of getting the breakfast plate, just choose from the other breakfast options. Plate was not worth it but other things that you choose from the breakfast menu are worth to try.

Update: I like the place and the food tastes good, the Sunday brunch was so so, better off with ala carte. I am not aire of the tea pot price, I think they changes it back to $10.
Old review: changing the price of a tea pot from $10 to $20 over night is unacceptable. The QR scanned menu said $10, the bill said $20 and when I checked on the website, it said $19. Same thing with hookah, we used to pay $20, online menu said $20, and paper menu said $30. This used to be our go to in Alpharetta, but don't feel like going there anymore.
