Ephesus

Walking into Ephesus, I feel instantly welcome. It's warm and inviting. The floor plan is well laid out and everything is decorated just enough. Though the treat for my eyes, is nothing like the treat for my nose. It smells AMAZING. We were immediately greeted by a server who asked if we had a reservation. We said we didn't, and he said it was not a problem and asked if we could have a seat and wait a few minutes. No problem! Once seated, we ended up ordering the bruschetta as an appetizer. It was delicious! The best I have ever had. Every bite felt like a grand indulgance. My wife and I ate every morsal aside from the olive pits! Mmm. There were tons of vegetarian appetizers with home-made bread that I was dying to try.. but I opted for an entree that our server suggested. I wish I could remember the name.. it was a spinach and feta stuffed flakey bread. It was definitely good, but I'd love to try something else next time. My wife had the lamb souvlaki.she said the meat was seasoned very well. and i also had best mousakka which is prepared by their mum in the kitchen .my wife also wanted to try several other things as well. So I think on our next visit, we'll branch out further. The overall experience was fantastic.great family business. The staff was all friendly and professional, the bathrooms were clean, the atmosphere was very cozy, and we're ready for another visit. Definitely recommended! more

Delicious food, friendly service, nice atmosphere. I""m writing this with my 9 year old and he wants to make sure I mention that the gyros and mousakka are delicious. We went for a quick afternoon bite to eat expecting a ""AUTHENTIC Greek and Turkish food "" type of place. I was pleasantly surprised that it is more of an adult space with great wine and beer on the menu and there's more of a ""date night"" atmosphere than a ""I'm with my kid and the dog is tied up outside"" atmosphere. more

At the end of this meal, I learned three very important things, only one of which is pertinent now. this place serves family cooked amazing food that justifies all cravings... more

I really loved this place... Far away from SF, but is worth the trip. I was told by one of my friends, who has been there several times already, that the place is really nice and friendly with delicious food. So, we decided to give a try... more

i discovered this place by a coincidence :) more

This is not a place I'd recommend anyone go for dinner based on my experience last night. The decor (and rice droppings on my chair before I sat down) alone might be enough to keep me from coming back, but the service - though well intentioned - was pretty deplorable. Poor communication, very slow (esp considering we were the only group in the restaurant), and the waiter actually took a call on his mobile phone while he was serving us. more

When I first walked in a couple nights ago I thought ""oh dear""... but I was very wrong. The food is very good. Just spicy enough, very flavorful, and normal portion sizes. We ordered the full dinner, which I can never finish, and I had chicken tikka masala while boyfriend had the lamb korma. Both sauces looked so similar but the layers of flavors were quite different and equally wonderful. Excellent side dishes and creamy kheer for dessert, a favorite. The best part, though, was the tacky tacky tacky fake flower arrangements that were everywhere! Anywhere they could stick a cheap fake rose they did. I had just as much fun picking out my favorite tacky arrangement as I did eating their wonderful food! Bonus, they had Bob Marley tunes playing while we ate. The ultimate in wacky. I'll definitely be back. Pros: Tacky decor!, Great food!, Sparse but clean. Cons: Tacky decor!, But that depends..., ...what you like! more
