I went because it was said to serve Mediterranean food. I saw a few menu items that fit that category. I chose the Tel Aviv salad. It was nothing like any Tel Aviv salad I've had or seen. It was a large plate of greens with schnitzel sliced on top. The greens did have a few other veggies mixed. I would not order this again. This was not a $17 salad.

This spot has quickly become our favorite place for pancakes: fluffy, golden pancakes that hit the spot every time. The outdoor seating is a real highlight; it’s so nice to sit outside and enjoy a relaxed meal in the fresh air.

Very layback which is good when you are not in a hurry but when you have to go back to work, it is annoying how slowly the service is.

Took 10 minutes for the waitress to get my order when it was me and another person ordering to go.

Terrible food. Chickpeas from a can and tiny portions

Absolutely love this place! The breakfasts are delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served. They also offer unlimited mimosas, which makes brunch here extra special! 🍾✨

There’s a great selection of wine, beer, and fresh orange juice — which is super important for me. And the menu overall is full of tasty, satisfying options. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood!

Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys quality food, good vibes, and a cozy atmosphere.

I was impressed with this place; the food was delicious. My parents visited me from Russia, but Effys definitely stole our hearts. The place is a gem, and quite a few people wanted to get in. We only waited 10 minutes (3 people). I was shocked that there was only one waitress, but she was fast and very attentive. It was May 5th, and they were having a 2-for-1 happy hour; keep in mind that it's only from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., so we'll be back.

The only thing that shocked me is that I read a review they left about this place. I happened to see the whole thing, and it's sad that people don't value the waiters' work. They were very rude to her and wanted their food over all of us who had been waiting before them. However, she didn't let herself get carried away, nor did she lose her temper. She treated them very kindly, and really, can’t stand people who are rude and entitled to waiters that do their job very well.

The 2 stars are only because of those two guys that left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Great breakfast place with lots of healthy and delicious options. During a nice day, you can sit outside while you enjoy your meal. I love the fact that they have lots of healthy, Middle Eastern options.

Horrible experience. Waitress took orders of tables that came in after us. Took 20 minutes for them to bring us water. 30 minutes passed our order still wasn't ready, waitress was incredibly rude and nasty when I asked how long longer, and proceeded to say mean things after I told her I didnt have any more time to wait. It shouldn't take 30 minutes post order for a yogurt and wrap, and the conflict resolution and professionalism was atrocious.
