Efendi Restaurant offers "amazing food" with a cozy atmosphere and "beautiful decor." The flavorful dishes, especially the kababs, are highlights.

    Good is good. We order a combo for 3, plus a Efendi salad. It is enough for 3.

    Recently had dinner at Ifendi Turkish Restaurant on Bayview, and while the overall experience was good, there were a few mixed impressions. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. The main dishes, especially the Kabab meats, and the chicken were flavorful and well-prepared—definitely the highlight of the meal. However, the meze and bread were fairly average compared to other Turkish restaurants I’ve been to. That said, the portion sizes were decent, and the food was fresh. If you're looking for a satisfying Turkish grill experience, it’s worth checking out, though there might be room for improvement in the appetizer selection.

    They charged us double and tried to make us pay for it. When we told them, they didn’t offer to refund us but instead only offered some baklava

    The food was great. My only issue was the service. Servers were nice enough but I had to repeat multiple times for forks and water. Maybe it’s a language issue or the restaurant being busy but I hope this issue will be resolved for next time.

    The service was absolutely terrible. There were only 3 other tables and it took forever to place an order and get our food.
