Even though i’ve been past this place a billion times, this was my first time dining there and it was such a nice spot for date night and trying Turkish food. I had the dessert before at a food festival but other than that I was with someone that dined there regularly, so I was in good hands.

What a beautiful Turkish restaurant! Who would’ve thought this would be hidden away in Balmain. Absolutely love the setting and decor, you feel like you could be in Turkey. The food is amazing and the staff are very attentive and friendly. Had a really great evening!

Went for anniversary dinner and I was blown away by food and service. Staffs were quite pleasing and patient enough to explain the food and drink menu. They have a good variety of Turkish wines and non-alcoholic drinks as well. Situated in a street corner, parking is on the street and can be difficult to find during busy times since it is close to residential area.Food quantity is not too much and enough for one person. Being our anniversary dinner, I had requested to organise some surprise for my wife. After our dinner was over, we both were served with their dessert -Turkish Mess- with sparkles and the staffs wishing us . It really looked like a mess but was yum. Would definitely come back to try out their weekend breakfast menu . Keep up the good service Efendy

Nice venue, beautifully decorated and large space inside. We didn’t have a booking and had to wait 45 minutes for a table which was fine as we went for a walk. It was so busy they weren’t answering the phone whe we called to make a booking. Tasty food, but qite pricey for the serving size. Service was average, not overly friendly or unpleasant either- just did their job. Breakfast menu looked interesting and may come back for that.

Get food pampered with what Efendy has to offer. Really good concept for breakfast that will keep your conversations going with endless food and beverage and friendly service. The variety was amazing and exceeded our expectations especially during busy breakfast times. Perfect for families and a group of friends alike.

We came here for the Turkish breakfast.(adults is $35pp), Great quick service. You will need to book as it’s always busy and booked out. No coffee machines. So couldnt get a latte or cappuccino… option is Turkish tea or turkish coffee to accompany the food, which keeps getting topped up for free as u drink it . The people serving were so polite and kind. Highly recommend this Turkish restuarant. Set up very nicely in an old heritage 2 story home,turned into a restuarant based amongst the beautiful suburb of Balmain.

We love Turkish food. It is a usual for us since we visited Turkey. We usually go to near by Turkish kabab shops but wanted to experience the real deal and decided to try Efendy for a Sunday lunch. We were excited that they do a 48 per person set menu as this will allow us to get a feel of how good they are. After all the reviews of this place are great and it Is run by a master chef judge. Boy were we disappointed. I think the food is no better than what you find in any local street corner kabab shop. The Adana kabab was the toughest I have had. The mangal special is 2 chicken wings spiced with salt and red pepper. Same goes for Chicken thigh. Couldn’t differentiate between them. Warm bread came out to be cold tough bread. The only thing good is the location and venue.
