What Rosie Reynolds likes about Efendi:
Went to Efendi a few times and every time I told myself that maybe the next time they will mess things up or I wont have a great time, but after 4-5 dinners I thought I must make a tripadvisor account to tell everyone thinking...about eating there about my amazing experience. Been to Turkey a few times and the food at Efendi is the closest I have seen to authentic Turkish food that I had whilst there! The bread they... View all feedback. What Lizzie Young doesn't like about Efendi:
a very disappointing experience. starter was in order, but the main course was terrible. small pieces of fat lamb, small part of rice and a token salad. the most disappointing aspect of the evening was the personal. not at the entrance greeted and the waiters looked like they just didn't want to be there. did not ask us if we wanted to whisper, nor a drink. no more typp and no one deserves it.

Efendi, a Turkish restaurant in East London, has a lot of potential to be great, but currently falls short due to inconsistent food quality and distracted waiting staff. Despite issues with service and portion sizes, the decor is lovely and the restaurant itself is spacious. Some patrons have experienced slow service and long wait times for food. However, the food quality is excellent, particularly the lamb kebabs. Prices are reasonable and the overall experience is positive, making Efendi a must-visit spot in the area. Authentic Turkish dishes, friendly service, and a cozy ambiance make Efendi a top choice for a delicious meal.
