Efsane Mediterranean Cuisine

This was a random find. But what a find! Delicious food. Has both traditional middle eastern food items as you would find in other restaurants but at the same time some unique items. This is a Turkish restaurant to be specific. The quality and quantity of food was excellent. The staff were great. Has lots of indoor seating and clean washrooms.

Delicious red lentil soup and hummus. And the folks at the next table had a delicious falafel plate they said. Will get that next visit. Great service. we atmosphere with eye catching chandeliers.

This place is a gem! There were 5 of us and we ordered the sampler- there was so much food, everyone got to try a little bit of everything. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, the hummus was hands down the best I’ve ever had. To finish the meal we tried all of the desserts and they were all amazing! Cute and welcoming atmosphere with very attentive service and no issues accommodating any dietary needs. Try the Turkish soda, it’s different but complements the meal nicely! BYOB which we always appreciate!

We’ve come here several times now because our experience has been absolutely amazing each time! We loved the food so much that we also held a little party here and the entire staff was phenomenal in helping with everything. The food is outstanding as is but the service really puts things at a higher level. HIGHLY recommend and would definitely use their space again and again for parties.

We had a truly memorable dining experience here. From the moment we stepped in, the warmth of the staff and the ambiance set the tone for a wonderful evening. We were welcomed with their house special bread and hummus. The bread was warm and fluffy with a nice chew, and the hummus was smooth, flavorful, and clearly made fresh. It set the bar high for what was to come.

For our main course, we ordered the Shepherd Casserole and the Meat Platter Tray. Both dishes were absolutely outstanding. The casserole was bubbling hot, packed with rich flavors, tender meat, and perfectly cooked vegetables—it tasted like home-cooked comfort with a refined touch. The meat platter came out looking like a feast: juicy lamb, tender chicken, and perfectly grilled kebabs, all seasoned beautifully. Every bite was hot, fresh, and simply delish. The presentation was also impressive—everything looked as good as it tasted.

For dessert, we decided to try their Sultan’s Delight, a soft, creamy treat made with milk and coconut. I’m usually the dessert lover in the family, but even my husband, who rarely enjoys sweets, couldn’t stop raving about it. It was just the right amount of sweet, with a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

To end our meal, we were offered Turkish tea on the house, which felt like the perfect final touch. Served in traditional Turkish tea glasses, it was warm, aromatic, and symbolic of the hospitality that defines this restaurant.

The service throughout the night was outstanding, friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. You could feel the pride they take in their food and in making guests feel welcome. It’s definitely a hidden gem that we’re so glad we found. We’re already planning our next visit!
