“ We love Mediterranean food and this restaurant did not disappoint. I recommend you try their appetizer sampler, comes with a delicious "balloon bread". All food was fresh, delicious and service was courteous and authentic. We will definitely go again. ”

“ -This review is for takeout via Uber Eats- The food scene is Flanders is nothing to rave about so color me surprised when I was blown away by Efsane's food. I ordered Efsane last minute for a birthday lunch since my original plans fell through. The person is usually pretty picky about what they eat and they thoroughly enjoyed everything! I ordered the lamb chops, salmon, and mix grill. All were delicious but the lamb chops and mix grill were amazing. I feel like lamb can be pretty finicky to cook but their lamb was not tough and seasoned well. The mix grill had really generous portions and tasted better than Cinar! Each dish comes with cous cous (?) and rice. We were also given individual portions of salad that was delicious! I also ordered the lentil soup for someone at the lunch and they said it was delicious. The bread is also amazing! Mediterranean places I've eaten at usually just give a round pita, but I'm pretty sure the bread here is made in house. It's so fresh and pillowy, I could totally eat a ton of this bread on its own. Such a solid place for Mediterranean and highly recommend it! ”

“ Delicious! Ordered a small take out catering order for a party. Loved everything: hummus, appetizer sampler, falafel, spinach pie, salads. Guests enjoyed it as well, will be back! Very nice staff as well. ”

“ Went with a friend here on a Monday night, upon her suggestion. This restaurant has beautiful decor and felt very cozy when we went! I loved the velvet blue chairs at the table we sat at. Their service balances both friendliness and professionalism. They checked in with us occasionally without being overbearing. It was really great Mediterranean food, starting with their bread appetizer which reminded me of a floof/cloud ! I got an okra veggie casserole dish (never tried before) and even just the presentation of it was so aesthetic. My eyes feasted before I tasted it. The falafels were very good too, though I surprised that it was so soft inside (the outside was crunchy). Finally, I made a significant trek to come here and I'll say it was the right decision! This is one those restaurants that hits all the right spots. ”

“ We ordered delivery and was pleasantly surprised by how well everything traveled. The food arrived warm and delicious. This was our first experience with Efsane, and we will definitely be ordering again. The highlight was the ground beef pie, which tasted like a meat pizza, and the chicken adana was very well-seasoned. I would definitely recommend! ”

“ I loved this place! Beautiful turkish decor, staff who are friendly and great at their jobs, as well as AMAZING food! Portions are large and it is cooked perfectly, Can't wait to go back! ”

“ My first Turkish food experience and it was amazing in all aspects for me. While I didn't get the name of the servers, they were all very kind and attentive. My partner had been wanting to take me here and also go back for himself for a while and I'm so glad he introduced me to Turkish cuisine because it is delicious. We got the stuffed grape leaves, Lebni dip, lamb casserole, and the Künefe for dessert. Our server was very kind and also offered some complimentary tea in the cutest cup! They do also give complimentary Turkish bread called balloon bread and I was immediately "blown" away by it. What a fun and new way to start a meal! It was quite literally blown up like a balloon and where it inflated was nice and soft and down on the bottom was a nice crispy crunchier texture. If I had more room in my stomach I would've asked for more. If you like toast and butter, this will be the next level. Their lebni dip was delicious as well and honestly I just really loved their breads here. While I was stuffing myself with bread, our main entree - the lamb casserole - finally came out. Things took a little longer to come out but it seems like it's all made to order , so it's fresh, even the bread! I really appreciated that about this place. The server mentioned that today there was no casserole which honestly I didn't mind as the dish was delicious still. I loved the bits of lamb and diced up veggies and we ate this plate clean. Finally, one of the things my partner was most excited for - the Künefe. We loved it so much we started searching for Turkish food around our areas and even recipes! This was such an interesting dessert I wish I could eat again!! It's made of fried shredded phyllo dough and it was topped with some pistachios I believe. Honestly what made this whole meal so lovely besides the food was our server. He was so kind and patient and full of pride for the chef and food. I loved the way he talked about the dishes and how he had came from another state to come work here. This place is seriously delicious and I hope more people stop by! It's really pretty inside as well, the art I thought was really unique as I've never seen much of it before. All in all, thank you to Efsane's staff and chefs for such a lovely experience. I hope to return soon! ”

“ This is a fairly new restaurant and I'm always excited to go back. The staff is amazing, but the food is even better! I'm always excited to try new things - and there is so much to try! Each time I go I plan on getting something I love, then I find something new to try - and I'm never disappointed! They know how to cook fish perfectly and their lamb (from lamb eaters I have dined with) is great. I would totally go there with family, parents, for a celebration, or a date - It's quiet enough to have a conversation but not so quiet you feel out of place breaking the silence if you laugh. This is a favorite neighborhood place that I would actually travel to go to! ”
