Reviews for Efes Mediterranean Grill in New Brunswick, NJ
The food is worthwhile and quality. The decor is amazing, beautiful, modern and full of culture. It is very comfortable and cozy... as well. The table was sticky. Someone missed that task. The waiters and waitresses are warm and helpful. Unfortunately, therewas one that waitress who couldn't hide her disdain for having to be friendly in a customer service position. We don't have tobe best friends but a customer notices. There was a lovely and sweet waitress as well so the seesaw balanced out. Let's say onewas warm and the other lukewarm. I hope this doesn't stop anyone from trying this place because the rest was exceptional. Read more
One of my favorites Mediterranean restaurants around !! Their quality and flavor is always consistent. Items i highly recommend... and usually start with are the hummus, I like to add hot sauce to it. Adana chicken kebab over rice with their white sauce andhot sauce for the main. Finish off with classic Mediterranean baklava. A meal that will not disappoint! Read more

We have an amazing experience with EFES in our last lovely dinner. I'm a Mediterranean food lover and it's a great place for... people like me. We have explored available turkish restaurants in Central Jersey area and would share EFES as a top rank one.The food tastes really good and especially the dessert will keep you in a nostalgia ???? Overall the people are very friendlyand the ambient offers a feel of quality time with colorful lights! You certainly can plan a enjoyable experience at EFES - justget your plan booked! Read more
The Good Well the restaurant is beautiful. No doubt about that. Stylish in the middle of where you need to be? Looks very... accommodating. Two floors sitting area and a really really nice view to the street. My gyro beef was good. Not excellent butgood My wife chicken gyro was nice. If I would put it in stars, let's say that my beef gyro was three stars but my wife chickengyro was two stars out of five The bed? Everything else... The service was very cold Surprisingly.. Middle Eastern hospitalityis famous for or very very generous hospitality and accommodation of the hosts. Here it was well. Quite the opposite Sour facesespecially from our host which was very disappointing. The hummus was very bland and watery The falafel was horrendous. I nevertasted something like this and I hope I will never taste it again. It was bitter really bitter. You went up your throat and juststay there. Took a lot of time and a lot of other stuff to take it out And that means for the taste. You ever try the falafelhere and it's your first time you try falafel. Don't get discouraged. Just try it somewhere else. The falafel does not supposedto taste like that The baba ghanous on the other hand was great. Four stars out of five our bill was $74 which is a lot ofmoney for just two people and not a whole lot of food. I wish they will improve because it is a great location with a lot ofpotential.

Nice Turkish spot in New Brunswick NJ. The food was pretty good and hit the spot. The inside upstairs was pretty nice too I love... all the lamps and lights going up the stairs. The only thing that was kinda disappointing was the waitress wasn?t really good.She had a little attitude and didn?t seem like she wanted to be there working. I still left a $20 tip which I?m sure in theseplaces are nothing special. Parking next to the restaurant isn?t that bad but the streets over here are very small. Kind of likea smaller version of parking in Brooklyn. Whenever I?m in New Jersey I?ll check this place out again. Hopefully they have betterwaitresses working. Read more
For the price you pay for a vegetable dish is NOT worth it the price. They give a little bit of rice then the food is salty w/o... enough flavor. All I taste is salt, literally taste like a canned soup. Definitely not going back because I rather eat thepictures on the menu(looks delicious) than to eat the actual food. Looks is deceiving..??????????? Unfortunately I pay 15+ a tipnow I have to force myself to eat Read more
The best Turkish restaurant I have ever been to (and I have been to supposedly the best ones in NYC, Chicago, Houston, &... DC). The ground lamb kabob was very flavorful. The mixed dip appetizer was also really great. Amazing tea. Most Turkishrestaurants really don't feel flavorful enough for me, but the dishes I had here were all tasty and well seasoned. Niceambiance as well. It is cozy and charming yet felt like a nice night out. Read more
