Cafe Efendi Mediterranean Restaurant - Mediterranean restaurant in Alpharetta - 488 N Main St, USA

We recently took my boyfriend’s parents to eat here for a late afternoon/early supper meal. They love Mediterranean food and we wanted to try a new Mediterranean place so we decided on Cafe Efendi. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful! It looks very elegant but feels casual. It’s a great vibe! We got the small appetizer sampler to start and it was very good! Had 5 different dips to choose from and it came with fresh bread. I always love when a sampler is available so you can try everything! For the main course, I chose to get a side of falafel and the Efendi salad. Both were very good!! The salad was huge and was full of flavor. The falafel was fried to perfection. My boyfriend got the gyro meat platter and it was super good as well! The portion of gyro meat was large and the flavor was amazing. The rice was also 10/10! We really enjoyed our meals here! I’m very happy we stopped in and finally tried it! Definitely recommend for a yum Mediterranean meal!

I had an exceptional dining experience at Cafe Efendi! The food was incredibly delicious, and the service was top-notch. The staff's friendliness added a warm touch to the overall atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting this cafe for an unforgettable meal and excellent service. My favorite food is as always Lahmacun.

Amazing birthday celebration! This one dish fed 8 adults plus 2-3 boxes of left overs. Extra star needed for service. Definitely feel pride of ownership from staff. Fun extra for B-day.

With family and friends, we had dinner. First of all, foods are delicious. We ordered Lahmacun and Adana Kebap. Both were delicious. Lahmacun was my favorite. There are plenty of sitting areas, and the atmosphere is good. All stuff has a very kind and smily face. Especially Mahmut was really very friendly and kind. We had a good conversation with him

Came here for birthday celebration. We tried a lot of different dishes but chicken Adana stood out.

Very good Turkish restaurant option in Atlanta with good service and food quality. We tried lahmacun, adana kebap and steak shish kebap, all was tasty and close to the original tastes in Turkey. Lahmacun was crispy and kebaps were balanced in fat and meat. You can also find Turkish traditional raki and Turkish wine too. Reservations are recommended especially for dinner at the weekend.

We decided to do an early New Years dinner here with another couple. We met up for our 5:30 reservation to be seated immediately to be one of the only tables seated in dining at that point. The overall theme was very slow service. It was apparent they were getting ready for their party that night. Everything was “fine” but nothing to rave about. I had lamb chops ($32) and found them to be very thin. They were seasoned and cooked nicely. I believe, what could have been a great dinner was clouded by the lack of service. We had a difficult time just getting refills on water, coffee or dessert, let alone our check. Additionally, we were charged a gratuity. Meal for 4, one appetizer, 2 glasses of wine, 4 meals, 1 coffee and 1 dessert: $250! We finally got out of there by 8:00!

I love Turkish food and this is the closest I can get to Turkiye in GA. I LOVE their sauced eggplant and Doner Kebab. Today I tried their Artic Samon and enjoyed it equally as much. I haven't h a d a chance to try their hooka, but it smells good from afar.
