Efes Mediterranean Grill

I've been to the Efes in Princeton numerous times, but had yet to try the New Brunswick location. The interior of this 2nd floor restaurant is nicer and more spacious than the other location. I love the decor and the lighting fixtures for an authentic Turkish feel. It creates a great ambiance. Our food and service were both great.

We started off with the hummus appetizer. Both the hummus and the accompanying pita was fresh and delicious. We ordered numerous entrees from Kabobs, Gyros, to Vegetarian dishes. My friend found her food to be too spicy, while I found my Gyro Platter to be too bland. That's where the wonderful white sauce (yogurt sauce) and red sauce (spicy) added perfect additions to my meal.

I would definitely go back here again.

What a vibe! Upstairs is the main dining area which is very nicely designed. Ther service we recientes was great too - friendly and helpful with picking menu options.

We started with the Mediterranean salad which was deliciously refreshing. The zucchini pancakes were great too, great flavor and cook on them, even better with the white sauce that comes alongside the free bread for the table. For the entree I had the chicken kebab yogurt-- not much description on the physical menu but it was recommended as I wasn't in the mood for any red sauce. Chicken had amazing flavor and cook, even the next day for leftovers it tasted great! It doesn't come with any sides which is the only downside of it; a choice of a side like rice, salad, or fries would've been better especially for the hefty price.

Sidewalk dining option in summer with some all the traditional veggie options. When you order hummus and falafel, you need to order the pita separately. Of course, you could go with the wrap but the wrapping doesn't include hummus.

Note: Nassau street is fairly noisy - so dine inside if you want to have a decent conversation.

I love this place! Regular customer. I love both locations but one on Easton Ave has superior chicken cabab.

I've been coming here for years definitely over a decade. My family has always loved this place and now I do. The food is great.

I recommend the Chicken Kabab platter (white meat cubes), the Lamb Adana platter, Gyro platter, or any of those as a sandwich in a pita. Also definitely get the Babaganoush. The Tabouleh is also good I get it occasionally.

The service has gone downhill over the years. They skimp on the sauce that comes with it now they only give you 1 or 2 sauce containers of the "white sauce" (yogurt) and the red sauce ( hot sauce).

Every time I pick up I ask for extra and I would get it but now you have to ask at time of ordering. So I do so but I get home and see they actually didn't give me extra. The standard amount they give is not enough for the platters.

Ive never sat inside and at but there's a few tables at front and a dining room upstairs that looks so nice.

Parking is a nightmare, street parking.

Recently visited this super cute gem in New Brunswick. Wasn't feeling my best so I went and treated myself to a dimly lit and intimate dining experience. The UPSTAIRS dining is just WOW ...The ambiance, the food, the presentation, and the service was just what my soul needed. Although I was craving a lamb shish kebab pita sandwich, the item is not offered as a dinner entree, only lunch. Thankfully, the server added a fresh and warm pita so that I could satisfy my craving. Everything was fresh.. The lamb was delicious and fries were great. Overall, whatever your mood, you won't be disappointed. Aside from the decor, what I loved the most is the night views over this busy Easton Avenue strip.

I returned to Efes for lunch pre-theater.
It was excellent (food quality & service) Facilities are clean. They are a 15-min walk to the theater STNJ.org

Near many parking garages near by.

Great authentic Turkish food, super friendly service and wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend for dining in, it is group friendly.

The food is okay, I would say the chicken is good, however, there better options near the area.

The kebabs are phenomenal. The service is good and the ambiance is enjoyably Mediterranean. The desserts, too, are excellent.
