1. Efendy Turkish & Mediterranean Grill

Using TripAdvisor as a guide to restaurants in the vicinity of our hotel, we decided to spend our evening at Efendy with the anticipation of a Turkish grilled dinner. The restaurant is small and we were fortunate to have arrived when a table was open. The open kitchen provides you a view of your meal as it is cooked over a charcoal grill, providing a pleasant ambiance on any damp and rainy evening. The ability to see each entree cooked to order also let's you know that it should be well worth the wait, which was a fair amount of time. Luckily, our appetizer arrived quickly. We ordered calamari to begin the meal which, when the plate arrived, was a sufficient portion relative to other downtown establishments. Yet, the breading had soaked in the cooking oil, leaving a light coating of film in your mouth. In retrospect, this was a prelude to the entrees that arrived. The lamb chops have been prepared in the French style, with the exposed bone tipped by a "lollipop" of meat. The lamb certainly was young as was apparent in the dimensions of the ribs and the volume of meat between riblets. I ordered mine as a medium rare, which should have only taken a few minutes on the grill. What arrived, though, was nearly inedible and more similar to shoe leather (a debauchery of the juvenile's slaughter). The way in which the Turkish desert monitor eats is to tear a piece of meat and swallow it whole, which is the only way these lamb chops could be eaten. The remainder of the meal was average; the rice didn't have any depth of flavor, and the side salad was a side salad dressed with oil and vinegar. A disappointing Saturday night in downtown Halifax.

The food is really tasty, the portions are decent and the staff are lovely! A bunch of us ending up ordering many dishes and sharing. We had the half and half (half chicken and half beef schwarma with all the trimmings, the tabouli salad, eggplant parmesan and, the Kibbi. There are still many items on the menu that I would like to try, so I will definitely be returning.

Iâve been going to Ela for a few years now, I enjoy the atmosphere and the menu. Prices seem to be in line with the quality of your meal. I always order the seafood salad, containing calamari, octopus, and chickpeas. Iâm never disappointed.

This is a small, local restaurant near the Citadel, on a street with historic homes. There are only three tables downstairs, but more upstairs (which I didnât go up to see). They bring you a very nice lemonade to start. We shared the roasted eggplant appetizer, which was kind of like an eggplant/garlic tapenade, served with pita slices and very good. On the recommendation of our server, we shared the tandoor lamb, a slow cooked lamb served over rice with a side of the cucumber tomato salad, a carrot salad and pita. It was delicious. The sweet owner came out to chat with us, which is always a nice touch.
