Visited this charming restaurant for dinner and was completely satisfied with the menu, prices and execution! The decor is very inviting with a couple of larger spaces with sofas for groups. There is also a flat screen television and a space for live music. There were interesting specials, but I opted for Tandoori Chicken, a great deal at $15 that included an ample portion of moist tasty rice a crisp vegetable salad, hummus and pita. Letâs not forget the boneless chicken, that was marinated and grilled to perfection. Itâs a perfect place for group dining so everyone can share in the delights offered at this fine quality/value restaurant. Highly Recommend!

I recently had dinner with a friend here after telling her how amazing the service and food has been on previous visits. She was blown away by everything and couldn't stop talking about it. As usual, we had wonderful, attentive service. I had the lamb shank, which is out of this world! So good. We enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience and I highly recommend this restaurant. I've read the negative reviews and I find it very hard to believe the owner would be rude to customers. Every visit he has been friendly, even when he was busy cooking (the cooking area is open to the dining room). His son has been my server every visit and he is the most attentive and polite server I have ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant for both lunch and supper.

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.

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.
