Efes Restaurant

• ★★★★★

  Our guide recommended this place for lunch, and it honestly became one of the most memorable meals of the trip. This was my first time trying Turkish cuisine and the experience felt very warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive and they even served complimentary Turkish coffees for all three of us, which made the experience feel even more personal. What stood out to me most was how passionate they were about the restaurant. They explained the stories behind the dishes, how the restaurant operates and shared little details about Turkish culture

  On the search for mediterranean food, we found this place. Let me tell you from the drinks to the appetizers and actual entrées. Everything has been amazing. Their service has been above and beyond and it was actually one of the best Turkish food we’ve ever had and this is coming from someone who has lived in Turkey for quite a few years. If you are in Shanghai and looking for a great Mediterranean or Turkish food, you should definitely give this place a visit. It will not disappoint.

  We had the pleasure of dining at Efes six times over a two week period in early May 2026. The food is simply outstanding. Coming from Detroit, we are very familiar these flavors. We have never had better chicken than done by Efes! The lamb chops were also sublime. We can't say enough how discovering this restaurant truly made our recent trip something to remember. Customer service was outstanding and friendly. Reservations are highly recommended.

  Efes was for sure some of the best food I’ve had in Shanghai over the years. The waiter Phillips was attentive, helpful and recommended the perfect blend of trying as much as in little possible time as we could. The visit was a top not experience and very reasonably priced for what we got. Make your day and visit Efes, you will be leaving with the meat sweats if you did it right! Cheers

  An absolute gem in the rough! I was ready for some western food which I know is pretty mediocre in Shanghai but so be it I was desperate. Then I read about this place, the reviews were great but the food is even better. Best meal in China by far. The chicken was amazing, the octopus was to die for and the service is fantastic. Going back again tonight back to back 😝
