Restaurant Efes in Minden

A truly fantastic restaurant. We love coming back here. We're always welcomed like real friends. The owner and all the staff are incredibly friendly. The food is amazing.

We had a good meal at the restaurant and had a great time. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. The value for money was good. The fact that we had our dog with us wasn't a problem. We'd be happy to go back.

Great atmosphere and super delicious food. Friendly service, everything was just right! Always happy to come back

The staff immediately noticed us and greeted us warmly

Very tasty... nice boss and friendly staff... you feel in good hands here...

The food is super delicious, and the service is very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be going there again.

Simply great, whether the service or the food 🥰 really delicious.

A highly recommended restaurant! Where can you find a proper Turkish restaurant that doesn't resemble a snack bar?! Efes has a wide selection of Turkish dishes and even offers non-Turkish options for children. The meat is extremely tender and juicy, a true treat, as the subtitle of the restaurant name suggests!!! We celebrated my mom's birthday there, and my 88-year-old grandmother was also thrilled with the quality of the food! The table was decorated with fresh rose petals to match the occasion – truly thoughtful and a lovely gesture of appreciation for the guests! We've eaten there several times and will do so more often in the future! I always recommend making a reservation, though – in the summer, the beer garden is even open!

Highly recommended. Enjoy the outdoor area in summer weather.

We've been here several times and always come home very satisfied. Whether it's the starter, main course, or dessert, everything is highly recommended. The staff is also very friendly.

The location on the city ring was, as expected, a bit noisy. The service seems to be geared towards regulars. Solo travelers don't really feel welcome. Unfortunately, the lamb was a bit too dry.

Something different, very tasty Turkish cuisine. The table was lavishly set. The service was very attentive and cheerful, and the ambiance was simple and clean. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Very, very delicious food. Please make a reservation in advance. Thank you for the delicious and enjoyable evening.

Super delicious food. I was particularly impressed by the lamb skewers. Top-notch service, too.

Friendly and attentive service, and the outdoor seating is very nice. Unfortunately, the food wasn't impressive. The dish (grilled liver, braised onions, and side dishes) wasn't well seasoned, and oil was collecting in the plate. This was probably (hopefully) a negative outlier, given the other reviews' positive reviews.

We came there spontaneously, everything was reserved, but the owner made it possible for us to get a table, we were very satisfied, the dishes were very tasty, I had Antalya chicken pan and my husband was enthusiastic about Beyti, we can recommend it

We've been here for the second time. The food was delicious again. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We'd be happy to come back.

In the past, I always enjoyed eating the baked sheep's cheese. Now, for €8.90, you can get white cheese (COW) that barely has any flavor of its own. I can get this cheese for €1.55 at the supermarket! That's what I call a rip-off! That's how you scare away your customers.

delicious food, attentive friendly service, lovely evening spent there, can only be recommended

Super delicious food and super friendly staff. We'd love to come back 😊

The food tastes very good. Small but very cozy. Reservations are recommended. We go there every month. 😃

Very attentive service and absolutely delicious food—a feast for the eyes! We had a wonderful evening with you.

Everything was very tasty... I can only recommend it...!

We secured a spot for our company party at short notice before Christmas. The contact was super friendly and quick. The food and service were excellent; we'd be happy to come back.

Very tasty, delicious food. I had a lamb platter. I now prefer the beer (Efes) to our beers. The staff is very friendly and, of course, accommodating. It's actually an insider tip that the rest of Minden's restaurants should take a leaf out of their book. I was very satisfied, and many thanks to the Efes team.

It was very cozy and delicious. The service was attentive and friendly, as always! We'd love to come back!

I went for dinner without a reservation. The service was attentive and friendly. The food (Ottoman pan) was very tasty, although the mushrooms looked like sliced ​​mushrooms from a can to me; fresh ones would definitely be better. When I was paying, the manager (?) handed me the receipt upside down, and before I could even look at the amount and add a tip, he had already silently entered the amount into the mobile card reader and held it out to me. Okay, no tip then.

The food at Efes is delicious and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

If you love Mediterranean flavors, this is the place for you – highly recommended!

The food was very tasty and the service was great, I really liked it

Very warm service with a lot of humor, absolutely delicious food and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended. 👍😃🍀

Very friendly service and the food was really tasty

Good tasty food and a very nice atmosphere

Very clean, friendly service, the food is very tasty and good.

The food was delicious, I tried several dishes and appetizers. Everything is very tasty. If you like good cuisine, this is a place worth visiting. I spend most of the year traveling and I can definitely say that this place is one of the best Turkish cuisines I have ever eaten

Absolutely recommended! Great atmosphere, great food and good service ☺️

Always my pleasure! If it were up to me, I would rate it 7 stars.

Cozy, friendly atmosphere and very tasty food

Haven't been there for a long time. Nothing has changed in a positive sense. The boss and his employees are warm and attentive. The food is still absolutely delicious, the starters are fantastic. The portions are the right size. Definitely a recommendation. Say ol

The food leaves nothing to be desired, tastes outstanding.

Absolutely recommended! The Efes restaurant impresses with a cozy atmosphere, friendly service and, above all, authentic Turkish cuisine. The dishes are fresh, tasty and prepared with a lot of love. We were particularly impressed by the grill plate and the mezze. A real insider tip for everyone who values ​​quality and enjoyment. We'll definitely be back! 🩷

The food is a pure culinary delight, whether it's a starter, main course or dessert. You enjoy every bite. The service staff is friendly and attentive.

Service and food excellent. Always my pleasure. If you want to enjoy something other than pizza and burgers, you're in good hands here.

Service top!!! Child-friendly, responsive to requests, quick… Food was also super tasty…

Efes has long been one of my favorite restaurants in Minden! Always a great experience there!

Today I was in Minden in the Turkish restaurant "Efes", it is located on Schwichowwall. The restaurant is tastefully and comfortably furnished. A sign at the entrance promised Turkish delicacies, which of course increases the expectation of a delicious meal. I have minced meat steaks with rice and a mixed salad. The lunch was really extremely tasty. I felt very comfortable in the Turkish restaurant "Efes" and can highly recommend the restaurant. 🙏🙏🙏

We were in Minden on business and there for lunch. It is very comfortable in the guest room. The tables are beautifully set. We were served excellently by the boss. The food was exceptional. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. The portions are sufficient. The price-performance ratio is also good.

Everything perfect. Service, food and drinks We would love to come back. Two people at our table didn't like the music, I thought it was great

Very friendly and efficient service, Tasty food, delicious draft beer. You won't be disappointed here. Thanks!

Top-notch Turkish restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service

Efes is more than just a place to eat - it is a place where you can fully experience Turkey's culture and hospitality. The combination of authentic dishes, excellent service and a welcoming ambience makes this restaurant an outstanding address for lovers of oriental cuisine. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Turkish cuisine in its full glory.

It was very delicious. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Hope to see you again. Good luck. The owner of the kitchen team was very friendly and took care of us. I hope you have a good time.

Best Turkish restaurant in the region. Highly recommended, so be sure to reserve or call in advance. The food is always delicious and fresh. Service is quick and very accommodating. The beer garden outside is highly recommended in summer. Parking possible nearby

中东菜，我之前吃过几次，味道正宗。 总体来说他们的价位还是比较实惠的。 我们点的不同的特色风味，每一份的量都很大，包括沙拉。

Very tasty food, the staff very friendly and accommodating. I can only recommend 👍👍

Very friendly Turkish restaurant

We were able to spend a wonderful summer evening in the garden. FOOD SUPER DELICIOUS. THANKS

Delicious food on the terrace. Staff very friendly. Gladly again.

Food very tasty. Super nice service and nice beer garden. What more do you want?

One of the best lamb chops I've ever eaten. Great starters. Very nice service. We will be back!

Food was very tasty, the alcohol-free wheat "König Ludwig" doesn't work at all, it doesn't taste like anything, especially if you know Bersntein Weizen from "Störtebeker". The atmosphere in the beer garden was uncomfortable, bad, very uncomfortable chairs and overall carelessly designed.

Good food and very nice staff who always try to fulfill the guests' wishes. Unfortunately I couldn't have dessert, I was too full from the large portions!

Very good Turkish cuisine with very accommodating and friendly staff. A feel-good place

A very nice, cozy little shop where we like to eat, we look forward to coming here every time. Food is always very tasty and fresh!

Very tasty, forward-looking service, family atmosphere, I'll be back. ☺️

So I think it's really good, the food is good, everything is good

I always enjoy eating at Efes when I'm in Minden on business. Very tasty great service. Price & performance top

Our good friend Helena has been raving about the Efes restaurant for a long time, which she has been visiting with her family for ages. We were also warmly welcomed by the host and immediately felt at home. The food is delicious, a quality that I have rarely had before. The appetizer platter was varied; I particularly enjoyed the finely breaded calamari and the crispy Sigara böregi. The main courses were also very tasty and filling. The ambience is traditional, the service was courteous, quick and impeccable.

Food, as always, outstanding. Service is great, but we have known the guys for years and would love to come back.

Efes is our regular restaurant in Minden. Everything is just right here! The owner of the restaurant has a very warm-hearted and authentic manner. The food has always been outstanding and not too expensive. The service is always confident and attentive. The restaurant is very comfortably furnished - you almost feel at home there. I give – of course – 5 out of 5 stars!

This is a Turkish restaurant which serves excellent food! The ingredients were fresh and delicious! They had a liver dish on the Menü which was outstanding! The best part of our visit was the waitress and the owner of this establishment! They were friendly and made us feel welcome

The restaurant couldn't do anything for the nice company, but it could do for the great food. That was extra tasty. We will be back.

When I asked my German colleagues about the popular dish in Germany, they took me here. Veritable Turkish dishes that you should make sure your stomach is big enough! Nice choice to experience some traditional dishes.

EXTREMELY child-unfriendly! We had dinner there on a Friday afternoon. The food was really delicious! However, the service was a disaster and, contrary to their own statements, was far from being child-friendly. The waiter was incredibly unfriendly to our little daughter and the food can still be so delicious. If you are not wanted as a family, then you can easily spend your money in other restaurants where you are also wanted. Velvet child. We will definitely not be coming back.

Great, fresh food whether lamb, fish or vegetarian.

Were here on Saturday lunchtime. Very cozy and delicious food. Definitely recommended.

Unfortunately lamb fillet burned through and dry! It doesn't work at all. Service good, ambience is a matter of taste. No private parking space, not accessible with a wheelchair, entrance via steps.

Sehr lecker und raffiniert gekocht. Beste Qualität und der Inhaber sehr freundlich. So lecker haben wir türkische Küche noch nicht gegessen. Wundervoll.

Am Ende unserer Weserradtour haben wir in Minden übernachtet und ich hatte vorab einen Tisch im Efes reserviert. Eine sehr gute Wahl! Super zarte Lammgerichte unterschiedlicher Zubereitungsart haben uns geschmeckt, vorab gab es einen Vorspeisenteller, ebenfalls klasse. Das süße Dessert zerging auf der Zunge. Dazu leckerer türkischer Rose und ein sehr freundlicher, großzügiger und aufmerksamer Inhaber. Wir haben einen schönen Abend im Efes verbracht, an den wir heute noch gern zurückdenken.

Das Restaurant Efes ist um es sehr einfach zu sagen: fantastisch! Mustafa, der Besitzer dieser traditionellen Gastronomie, bringt eine Herzlichkeit mit die sich heutzutage in so manchem Lokal vermissen lässt. Die Speisen sind von ausgesprochener Köstlichkeit, das Ambiente klassisch und gemütlich. Insgesamt fühlt man sich jederzeit gut bewirtet und liebevoll empfangen. Trotz einiger guter Gaststätten, in der Mindener Innenstadt, ist das Restaurant Efes eines welches in punkto Authentizität und Kundenfreundlichkeit neue Maßstäbe setzt.

Dieses türkische Restaurant in Minden ist nicht nur ein Ort für köstliche Speisen, sondern auch für herzliche Gastfreundschaft. Bei jedem Besuch spürt man die Wärme und Aufmerksamkeit des Personals, was die Mahlzeit zu einer rundum angenehmen Erfahrung macht. Die authentische Küche vermittelt das Gefühl, als würde man in die kulinarische Tradition der Türkei eintauchen. Der Besitzer und das Personal sind stets freundlich, aufmerksam und sorgen dafür, dass man sich wie ein gern gesehener Gast fühlt. Ein Ort, der nicht nur den Gaumen, sondern auch das Herz verwöhnt. Absolut empfehlenswert für all jene, die nicht nur nach gutem Essen, sondern auch nach einer herzlichen Atmosphäre suchen.

Waren mit der Firma da ...Essen und Service wunderbar ... Ambiente bräuchte Mal ein Update 🌼

Meeeega meeeega lecker! Wir haben die Platte für 2 Personen bestellt, es war sehr viel, aber wir haben alles gegessen, weil es so super geschmeckt hat:) Das Personal sehr freundlich. Update: heute muss ich das Restaurant wieder loben:) richtig richtig große Klasse. Qualität ist hier GROß GESCHRIEBEN:)

Toller Service , das Essen war sehr lecker . Ich habe hier mit Freunden einen tollen Abend verbracht , absolut empfehlenswert !

Hervorragendes Essen fernab von Döner Imbiss…gepflegtes Restaurant mit sehr freundlichem Personal sehr zu empfehlen

Sehr leckere Gerichte, Preis-Leistung okay. Sehr nettes, aufmerksames Personal, welches auch zwischendurch immer mal wieder schaut, ob alles okay ist. Immer wieder...Topp. 🤩🤗

Leider nur 3 Sterne... Wir hatten nicht reserviert, saßen deshalb im Nebenraum. Bedienung hatte viel zu tun, trotzdem kamen wir uns etwas abgeschoben vor. Das Gemüse war zerkocht, leider... Weinblätter waren nicht selbstgemacht. Nach mehrmaliger Aufforderung zum Bezahlen, sind wir dann in den Hauptraum gegangen. Da gibt es bessere Restaurants in Minden.

Ausgezeichnetes Essen und sehr nette Bedienung.

Schönes Türkisches Restaurant mit Biergarten. Inhaber ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unser Berner Sennen war dabei und durfte auch mit rein. Essen üppig und lecker, Weine sind ebenfalls zu empfehlen. Kommen gerne wieder

Einfach nur lecker und die Mitarbeiter sind mega freundlich. Ein Daumen hoch. 👍

Könnte bisschen mehr gewürzt sein aber ansonsten super lecker und nur zu empfehlen!

Wir kommen gerne wieder. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Zur Qualität des Essens, wir hatten das Gefühl, daß zwar nicht die Preise erhöht wurden dafür wurde beim Essen gespart. Das Filet war nichr wiklich eins. Die Fischplatte bestand aus einen kleinen Fischfilet der REST waren Tintenfisch Ringe . der billige Fischersatz ist kein Fisch wie ich erwartete. Das der Service ein wenig geliten hat war wohl der vielen Gäste zu schulden wir haben es schon besser erlebt. Die warmen uns kalten Vorspeisen waren optisch und geschmacklich so wie wir es erwartet und gekannt hatten bei früheren Besuchen.

Jeder Besuch im Efes ist ein wirklicher Genuß; ob im Sommer auf der schönen Terrasse oder im Restaurant, meine Familie und meine Freunde sind auch jedes Mal wieder sehr zufrieden, wenn wir einen Abend dort verbracht haben. Das Lammfleisch ist einfach Spitze, ich mag aber auch die Meze warm oder kalt sehr gern ! Ich komme immer wieder gern ins EFES !

Sehr netter Chef und zuvorzukommender Service und Servicekräfte.Kleiner süßer Aussensitzbereich Schöne Speisekarte mit total ausreichenden Portionen, alles frisch und lecker zubereitet. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.

Wir hatten eigentlich für draußen reserviert. Dann war das Wetter aber eher durchwachsen. Unser Wunsch drinnen zu sitzen, wurde in kürzester Zeit realisiert. By the way: wir haben am gleichen Abend noch für unsere Weihnachtsfeier mit 20 Personen gebucht! Liebe Grüße M.H.

Immer nett, frisch, gute Ambiente...

Tolles Ambiente in einer Außenanlage wie in einem türkischen çay bahçe.

Das Restaurant Efes bereichert mit seinen Gerichten seit über ein Jahrzehnt die Stadt Minden. Wir sind als Familie langjährige Gäste des Lokals. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Die Speisekarte ist sehr vielfältig und hat somit für jeden etwas zu bieten. Das Lokal bietet durch die tolle Dekoration ein schönes Ambiente. Außerdem wirkt die instrumentelle Musik sehr entspannend und steigert das Wohlbefinden binnen weniger Minuten. Auch der Service ist makellos. Die Sevicekräfte sind sehr höflich und zuvorkommend. In dem Restaurant Efes erfüllt man ihre Wünsche mit bestem Gewissen.

Super service.sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Die Vorspeisen und Lamm Gerichte(Lamm platte ) waren zart und lecker. Sehr empfehlenswert, wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder in Restaurant Efes in Minden 😁👍
