★★★★★ The food was lovely and the restaurant has a nice decor. The lamb shank was very tender and the mash potatoes were also delicious. I tried the veg platter for appetizer and the muhammara was the best ever. Also the meats were cooked really well with delicious flavors. The place is on the pricey side but definitely a good place to impress out of towners. Posted on January 4, 2016

★★★★★ Effes is the best place to go for lunch or dinner.My favorite dish there is chicken Adana Kabab,and chicken Kabab.If you haven't went there......WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Posted on December 29, 2014

★☆☆☆☆ Staff was very rude!!!! I asked them to not give me rice and instead give me bread, they never gave me the bread just 2 pieces of meat on my plate. I asked 3 different waitresses multiple times and they all said that they will bring it, IT NEVER CAME! Posted on May 13, 2014

★★★★★ Best Turkish food in the town..chicken and beef kababs were awesome.. Rice was very tasty too.. Will definitely come back again. Posted on March 23, 2014

★★★★★ When i shifted to the area, i was really craving Turkish food. I used to eat Turkish at an awesome place in the north bay area. This is the only place i found nearby. Wasnt impressed by the setup and didnt expect much, but i was surprised. Amazing food. Not as good as the California one, but efes is cheaper. So it evens out. Have been taking friends here, and they all love it. Posted on January 3, 2014

★★★★☆ Excellent food, their kabobs were awesome. I would recommend the Adana kabobs. Food is a little pricey but since the restaurant is on Princeton campus, it is expected. Posted on September 2, 2013

★★★★☆ Mashallah, the food was great. I would recommend the the grilled chicken and the yogurt kebab. The only bad part is the parking Posted on August 27, 2013

★★★★★ Efes has amazing food and a really nice atmosphere its a great halal place Posted on August 8, 2013

★★★★★ Best mediterranean food in town for reasonable price. I prefer take out. The chicken noodle soup is excellent but need to be lucky since they are usually out. Posted on April 18, 2012

NR Great food!!! Can't wait to try their newPrinceton location. Posted on March 22, 2012

★★★★★ We love going to Efes the food is great and the staff is awesome. Always a favorite place, only thing that makes it a little tough is the parking, but that's most of New Brunswick. Posted on January 11, 2012

★★★☆☆ Food taste good but service is slow and they often time charge you for extra bread. Good food but budget extra time for your lunch or dinner. Posted on November 16, 2011

★★★☆☆ Good food but overpriced for the quantity they provide. Small seating area. Posted on September 16, 2011

★★★★☆ We love this place! It feels like its been around forever, and Efes is a staple if you're going to the in the New Brunswick area. The place is clean, the service is fast, and the food is wonderful if you love Turkish. I've also had friends cater form them for a party and the food carried out extremely well! It's not fancy enough for a date night, but the food is delicious for any type of other night! Personally, if I'm going to have a party, I'm getting it catered from here! Try the baklava! Oh, and parking is a bit of a problem, but thy just added a small parking lot two buildings down from Efes...by I's Cafe. Otherwise, it's street parking all the way, but totally worth it!

★★★★★ Chicken kabobs/Hummus/Baklava are delicious.Customer service is pretty decent. Parking is a a slight problem specially on weekends. Posted on June 12, 2011

★★★☆☆ The food was average, I have had better. Their service was good, no complaints there. The place was clean and busy, which is good. I will go back if I am in the area Posted on May 10, 2011

★★★★☆ this place is great! the food is always consistent and delicious. my family gets take out from here because the place is not the coziest, dont get me wrong it is very clean and not fast food by any means, but it isnt the most beautifully decorated. The platters are decently priced though and the food is delicious and does really well with carry out. the kabobs are decently marinated, but the hummus, falafel and baba ganoush definitely steal the show. great, delicious food! Posted on April 28, 2011

★★★★★ I LOVVVEE THIS PLACE! THE FOOD QUALITY IS GREAT AND THEY ARE ALWAYS CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF SPICES AND SERVICE. NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE. THIS IS OUR GO-TO SPOT WHEN WE CANT DECIDE ON A PLACE! THEIR MIXED GRILL PLATTER IS AWESOME, PORTIONS ARE GOOD FOR THE MONEY, AND APPS AND SANDWICHES CANT BE BEAT! Posted on March 22, 2010

★★★★☆ Priced a little high, but the food is always good. Posted on February 20, 2010

★★★★☆ I am a student at Rutgers so I go to Efe's a lot. The food is good and decently priced. The service is good. Overall, an above average restaurant. Posted on December 4, 2008

★★★★☆ In my opinion this is a place you go to to grab a quick bite or take out. There isn't any ambience or proper decor so keep that in mind. The kababs were great especially the adana and you can't beat the prices. Service not so great but you figure that at a place catering to students. Posted on May 21, 2007

★★★★★ Love their Gyros! People are right about no signs that say halaal or Zabiha. Appetizers are all great! and their platters are very tasty! We go their at least once every other week. Posted on October 3, 2006

★★☆☆☆ The food was not tasty and tasted very cheap/low quality, I could hardly finish it. I cannot recommend it. Worst Turkish food I had in this country. Posted on June 21, 2006

★★★★★ The food is great here...and the location is ideal for students. I recommend this place to everyone. Posted on March 6, 2006

★★★★☆ I really like the gyro platter and the adana kebab dishes here. It's average price for dinner, but you get a good amount of food. I found the service friendly, and the restaurant has a nice relaxed atmosphere with a Turkish touch. That said, I believe the Turkish food was very good at this Turkish restaurant. And they did mix up my take out order once (people are fallible, it happens), but they gave us credit for it the next time we came in. Posted on April 23, 2005

★★★★★ great food...nice place to hang out...one of my favorites!! fairly cheap also Posted on March 12, 2005

★★☆☆☆ This food is horrible... That's it! Posted on February 11, 2005

★★★☆☆ its ok, prices are a bit high and baklava is not the best, burgers are also not very good but gyros are good Posted on January 12, 2005

★☆☆☆☆ went here a couple of weeks ago, their cheeseburger is hard and chewy, and the fries needs alot of salt, and for new people who want to try this resturuant should not eat the burgers and owners should put a halal sign coz i didnt know they were halal, Posted on December 14, 2004

★☆☆☆☆ i came here with my friends, and ate the food, it was ok(not great). But i didnt finish my food and told the employee to pack my food, and i ordered another sandwich for my brother. when they gave me the bag with my friends food, i came home to find that my food was not in the bag. i called and they denied everything. SO FINISH YOUR FOOD IN THE RESTUARANT. Posted on December 14, 2004

★★★★☆ cheapest turkish food I've ever had the sands are small but there good about sauces and extra nan I'm not sure it's halaal though, i never asked b/c i saw it on this website but when u look around the place nothing that connotates islam Posted on November 20, 2004
