Exquisitely decorated with pieces from famous modern Turkish artists, Efendy is a feast for the eyes. Wherever you look discover Turkish treasures. Blending classical Turkish art with contemporary design, let your eyes wonder over Iznik hand painted plates, antique Turkish gravures and famous Istanbul photographs.
Efendy’s new meze bar offers a slice of an authentic Istanbul eating house in Balmain Graze, drink and catch-up with friends at meze bar – for less than $25 per person. Designed to share in groups of two, three or more, meze dining had been created to complement a leisurely night of slow-graze eating, conversation and drinking Efes Pilsen Turkish beer, boutique wines all available by glass or 500ml. Carafe or ‘raki’ – the preferred Turkish spirit.

I have dined here for dinner and breakfast now. Both experiences were fantastic. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely check it out, especially if you like eggplants! (altugd - October, 2009) Overall 10 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 10
recently had a family dinner for a special occasion, and had a fantastic time, must try grilled king prawns. Service was great, friendly and knowledgeable. (pebbles - October, 2009) Overall 5.5 - Food 5, Ambience 7, Value 4, Service 6
Meze Journey was really lame, extremely small portions, unsatisfying. Felt the food was overpriced and mediocre. (Efendy - Mediocre - September, 2009) Overall 8.8 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 8
Surprising Turkish menu -dishes not seen before and cooked to perfection. Lovely to find a relatively quiet restaurant in Balmain in beautiful Victorian mansion. (September, 2009) Overall 8.3 - Food 8, Ambience 8, Value 8, Service 9
Great food and service entrees and mains are very generous size portions.The veal dish was fantastic. Overall 6.3 - Food 4, Ambience 7, Value 7, Service 7
Very nice food, excellent atmosphere. We'll be back! (JK on Tour - June, 2009) Overall 9.5 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 8, Service 10
Turkish food does not get any better than this. It is so far away from the kebab shops of Auburn and Newtown> This is the real stuff as you would have at a nice restaurant in Istanbul or Izmir. As an expat spending thre years in Turkey I was impressed with the quality and authenticity - their take is definitely not Australianised cuisine - of the real taste of Turkey. Very impressive - James McCormack (TGWRIS - February, 2009) Overall 7.8 - Food 8, Ambience 7, Value 7, Service 9
We'll be back for sure (Kevin - See my reviews (4) - February, 2009) |
