The heart of Turkish dining in Cambridge

Efes has brought the true taste of Turkey to Cambridge since 1998. We are the city's first Turkish restaurant. Our cooking comes from tradition, family recipes and the flavours of Anatolia.

Our relaxed dining room suits a quick lunch, a long evening or a celebration. Call us to book your table.

About us

Efes opened in 1998 as Cambridge's first Turkish restaurant. Our kitchen centres on a real charcoal grill, which gives every dish its smoky flavour. We cook each plate fresh, from chicken and lamb shish to our mixed kebab.

We make our mezes every day from classic Turkish recipes. Families, friends and couples come back year after year for the food and the welcome.
