Fun and lively, the atmosphere at Efezade Mezze Grill is best enjoyed as a group. Bring friends, family and loved ones down for an exciting meal of authentic Turkish flavours in a warm, friendly dining area. The restaurant itself is bright and airy with a sleek modern style and a mixture of table and booth seating that promotes a communal dining style.
Found near Debdon station, the restaurant is well-situated for a quick lunch or delectable evening meal. Pop down and visit the in-house bar where the expert mixologists will prepare any number of fantastic cocktails off the menu. Porn star martinis, cosmopolitans and old fashioned cocktails join an extensive, world-wide wine list and some fruity mocktails for those no-alcohol guests and children.
Turkish mezze is always best enjoyed in a group as you can share multiple plates and indulge in a whole variety of flavours. A traditional and familiar hummus makes a perfect dip for breads, and the team also dish up a beetroot version to tempt your taste buds. Vegetarian diners can enjoy the likes of falafel, babaghanoush or grilled halloumi while meat-eaters can opt for tiger prawns, white bait or Albanian liver.
Main courses offer the likes of traditional marinated and chargrilled meats in a range of kebab dishes. Seasoned lamb, cubes of chicken and plenty of vegetables are all traditionally cooked and served alongside rice or couscous, salad and bread.
If you wish to stick with the communal dining style, the chef's special platters are the way to go. Plates of chargrilled meats in shish, kofte or chop form are often served with rice, couscous and salad.
You can't go out for Turkish food without finishing on a traditional baklaya; layers of sweet filo pastry are filled with walnuts and chopped pistachio. Although, the cheesecake offering of lemon, cookie dough, salted caramel, fruit or ginger and orange is also a tempting choice.
