Pasta was cold but also tasted like chuck e cheese pizza and little bit stale. Served too much pasta when asked for little honesty it's ok I don't really have high Hope's for this place in the future

My husband and I pass by this place frequently. We finally stopped by on a weekend night around 6ish. The restaurant has a full bar on one side and booth seating with a partition in between. I was surprised that the restaurant was empty. It was a bit chilly so the owner turned up the heat and I was cozy in a few minutes. The food was delicious and my food sensitivities were accommodated with ease. The owner was sweet and chatted for a while. People started to come in while we were there. Some people came in for takeout orders. I ordered the veal Marsala with rice and mixed veggies. The veal was good, the rice and veggies were excellent. Hubby had the Turkish mixed grill plate and thoroughly enjoyed it. He spent time in Turkey and said the flavors were authentic. It's a little pricey but worth it for the fresh cooked food. In my opinion, it's a nice place for a casual date night. The parking is easy, the food is good, plentiful, and cooked to perfection, and the ambiance is quaint and cozy. We will definitely be back. We were hungry and dived in prior to taking photos of our food.

I found this restaurant by accident. With a restrictive diet, I was able to get exactly what I wanted and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owner/chef was very accommodating and kind. The waitress was wonderful and efficient. What a rare combination. This place is a great find. I've recommended several people there and I've received positive feedback. Lemon Chicken and Eggplant Napoleon are my favorites.

Ordered lamb kebab, everything is amazing! The portion is generous. Service is even better! Owner is a really nice man. Definitely will return to support this business. Will definitely bring more friends back to enjoy this place!

The food at Efendi's is terrific, and the expansive menu makes it's hard to chose one of their many great dishes. Best of all, the service is awesome and super friendly. Efendi himself was kind enough to come and greet us after our meal, asking us how we liked it and any suggestions we may have. I would absolutely recommend giving this hole in the wall a try, you will not be disappointed.

We visited here today, the waitstaff and owner were so friendly and welcoming. We had the Turkish mixed grill and chicken kabobs, the lamb beef and chicken were so tender and delicious like marshmallow. The fresh baked baklava was to die for. We will be back for the coconutshrimp, pizza, and coconut cake to give a try. If you like Mediterranean food this is the place for you, if you never tried it before this is the place for you too!!!

This place was a great last minute decision. The food was great, all the meat was thick juicy and tender. We had kabobs, tried lamb for the first time, even the chicken parm was note worthy, and then came the desserts, baklava was freshly made and yummy, and the cakes were great too, nothing bad to say, the chef came out to say hi ask about our experience!! We will be back to try something else. Thank you. Everyone give them a try, indoor and outdoor dining.....im curious about this belly dancing

Falafel was a bit too dry, but the house-made tzatziki sauce made up for it. Fries were on point. Very friendly waitresses.

Wonderful cuisine. Tastes of the Mediterranean that I haven't tasted in years since traveling there in my youth. The Marsala is a scrumptious meal while enjoyed in Efendi's quaint dining area, makes you feel like going to Europe for a time. Great stuff!!

Good food but on the pricier side. Had the lamb kebabs and Turkish coffee. Should’ve got the lamb well done instead of medium. It was hard to chew.
