Tea

I had such an amazing experience at Ziyafet Kebab Modern Turkish Cuisine! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The atmosphere is beautiful and modern, but still very warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. Everything we ordered was beyond our expectations. I also want to give a special thank you to Manolya and Pinar. They were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. They made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. Their positive energy and excellent service truly made our experience even better. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and high-quality Turkish food. 10/10 experience!

Menu as of 2025

Efendi is our go-to place whenever we crave for Turkish food. The service is top notch and the food, oh my god, soooooo good. We love the mix Kebab for two people $82.99, big volume, good for 3 of us, cannot even finish every time. The restaurant is not big, but is nicely decorated. It is always busy, better to make an appointment beforehand.

Excellent Turkish food with a wide variety of choices on the menu. The food came out quickly which was nice and tasted very fresh. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. The prices are fair considering the freshness of the food. I loved the cutlery and plates - so cute!

Efendi salad with some pide bread

We got their very impressive Mix Kebab for 4 people sharing platter (there was 5 of us and that filled us up plenty!) and Efendi Salads. When we arrived for dinner on a weekend, it was PACKED and seems like their patrons were mostly middle eastern locals too. Sign of a good authentic spot! Everything came out hot & sizzling. I think my favourites had to be the kebab meats!

I visited Efendi for lunch after seeing it on social media. They do not take reservations for lunch so plan accordingly as there might be a wait. It was fairly busy when I arrived. Once inside, they have utilized the space well. The ambiance was lovely. We tried different items on the menu. Baba Ganoush was my favourite, the texture of the spread was smooth, there are pieces of eggplant cooked to perfection. It was paired with fresh bread. Complimentary Salad was fresh & tangy, the portions was large. Adana Kebab was packed with flavour! Beyti Kebab was served on a bed of yogurt, this was oozing with spices was delicious. Kenefe, it was alright, ours didn't pull apart all cheesy. Overall, I enjoyed our lunch. We did have to ask for several items which were missed but they apologized and brought it right away.

Meal for 2

We had the dinner for 2 this time and it was totally amazing !! The lamb chops just melt in your mouth. We ate a lot and still had left overs. If you are hungry and 2 people you should definitely try this.

Adana kebob and chicken shish kebob
Fm P.

Newly opened in the neighborhood. Ambiance is great, with a tasteful Middle Eastern motif. Service was good. Had a misfortune of sitting next to a party with young crying children. However, the excellent food made up for it Had Adana kebob and chicken shish kebob. If you are good with lamb smell, then you should definitely go for Adana. Chicken was cooked perfectly, and it was juicy. Definitely recommend. Advice to manager: if you have a party of 10-12 with young children, you amy want to isolate them from other patrons.

Amazing food. Our first dinner in Canada. Most places weren't open during Christmas Eve. We are glad we found Efendi. They take reservations. But they accommodated us as a walk-in when they saw we were families with kids and it was very cold outside. Service is fantastic. Food taste is super.

This is the stuff that dreams are made of! The food is absolutely phenomenal at this Turkish…read morerestaurant, with two locations. We ordered the mix appetizers which comes with baba ghanoush, hummus and salad, the cheese pide, and the meat dish for two. I cannot wait to come back to try their breakfast. This is an amazing restaurant with mouth watering food!

Food is amazing, but service is non existent…read more Food 5/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance 4/5 Came with a reso for five adults and got seated promptly. The restaurant got busier throughout the night. The restaurant has a beautiful interior and high ceilings. Service here is little to none. Which is unfortunate since their food is so good. After taking our orders we were never checked on. Asked 2 different servers for extra serveware and never got it. Had to ask more than once to get water. Overall the service is BAD. What saves this place is definitely their food, as it's very delicious. Definitely start with their variety of dips for sharing. Here's what we got: Mix Appetizers 5/5 - Came with hummus, baba ganoush, spicy mashed and haydari. All delicious and served with fresh bread. Mixed Pide 5/5 - This was also great for sharing and tasting the variety of pide options. Came with cheese, minced meat, and sausage. Mix Kebab for 2 5/5 - This was more than enough to share with the five of us, as portions are large, especially when you are ordering other sides. A variety of meats including lamb, chicken, beef served with rice and salad. The meal ends with complimentary tea. Overall, delicious spot with great food but just lacks any type of service. So good that I'd still come back for their food.
