We ordered takeout after a long day and thrilled how fast and easy it was to do. This restaurant…read moreis nearby within walking distance of where we were staying and we wanted to find something healthy to satisfy our appetite. Service was great from ordering to pickup. The restaurant is easily accessible and very welcoming. We started with an arugula salad topped with roasted beets and walnuts, followed by stuffed grape leaves, falafel, and muhammarah dip. We also received bread and a dipping sauce with the order, which was fresh, warm, aromatic, and delicious. The entire meal was flavorful and satisfying. Even though I'm an omnivore, It would be easy to be a happy vegan if meals were as fantastic as this. Looking forward to return visits when we return to the area throughout the year.

Not bad but in a city with as much great Middle Eastern food as Atlanta, it only makes sense to…read morereach beyond Truva. Spots I would rather recommend for a nice night out are Delbar, Rumi's, and Yalda. My friends and I tried the Muhammara Dip, the Feta Cheese Rolls (reminiscent of spanakopita but no spinach and in roll form), the Truva Dumplings, and the Iskender Kebab. The Iskender Kebab and the Muhammara were the best of the bunch, but overall I think I was expecting more punch from the spices and greater nuance in the flavors of each dish. The thing I honestly enjoyed most was the complimentary bread and sun-dried tomato dip, which has gotten a number of shoutouts of Yelp already. I would come back to this spot to get a handful of appetizers, eat that bread, and hang out for a few hours. It does seem like the restaurant needs more staffing. Everyone we saw was very kind, but it took a long time to get a server's attention whenever we needed something.

But the most disappointing part was the final bill. We ordered a moderate amount, but the total ended up being surprisingly high due to very large added charges/fees. We didn't dig into it at the time, but it left a bad feeling. Unlikely to return.

If you love authentic Mediterranean and Turkish flavors made with the freshest ingredients -- this one's a must-try. We kicked things off with handcrafted cocktails -- The Martini? Officially on my "every single visit" list. The Smoky Nights - a nice amalgamation of Mezcal and Black Label The Old Efendi Fashioned was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Cold Mezze Board was a stunning collection of flavors -- every bite delivered. The spicy ezme easily stole the show for me. Sigara Börek came out hot and crisp -- the kind of appetizer you keep reaching for. For entrées, the Chicken Shish and Atlantic Salmon were cooked to perfection -- well-seasoned, juicy, and served with delicious accompaniments that tied everything together. Dessert was a sweet surprise -- The Kazandibi (homemade milk custard) was melt-in-your-mouth good without being overly sweet. And the Künefe? Perfectly portioned and every bit as indulgent as you'd hope. A refreshed vibe, authentic flavors, and 20 years of getting it right -- Efendi Mediterranean is ready for its next chapter.

If you're craving bold Mediterranean flavors in Alpharetta, Cafe Efendi is absolutely worth a stop…read more The vibe is lively and welcoming, and the menu has so many tempting options -- but two highlights that really stood out for me were the doner plate and the hummus. The doner plate is a must-try: tender, hand-sliced lamb and beef served over fluffy rice with fresh purple cabbage and a dollop of tzatziki. The meat is seasoned beautifully and juicy -- one of the best kebab plates I've had in the area. The hummus starter is creamy, smooth, and flavorful -- perfect with warm pita. It's simple, fresh, and a great way to start the meal before diving into the heavier dishes. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes it great for everything from a casual lunch to a fun dinner night out. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

Chicken was grilled, but tasteless. Served on top of a heavy piece of pita, so definitely a knife and fork operation. Unfortunately, the knife and fork themselves must have been some trendy but nonfunctional type, as both were unwieldy to use. The location itself was hard to find at the back side of an office building, and even with Google Maps I had to ask directions at the hotel next door. I wish them well, and hopefully with some constructive criticism they can flourish. Ambiance was just your average tea room/coffee shop look. Not a place for a romantic meal.
