This place is our new fave. Excellent Turkish wine � The appetizer sampler is all the best things, make sure to try to babaghanoush and the salsa. The Branzino was so good and he made it with rice per my request. They even gave us baklava for dessert since we were first timers. Don't miss out on this place, so good!
The best and affordable Turkish/Mediterranean cuisine in DFW Metroplex. One of the owners , Cengiz is a humble and true hospitality veteran.The Sunday brunch is a Turkish breakfast heaven with the freshly made Turkish pastries like Simit ( Turkish bagel ) and borek . Love this place !
Excellent Turkish food. every time I'm there I always have an excellent service. The food is to die for. I love sea food and the way they prepared it is always great. I love the presentation too. I recommend this restaurant 100%
Our new favorite place!
Excellent food and wine selections. Fresh and healthy food with good variety. Authentic atmosphere and friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff.
You know you made a good choice when everyone around you is complimenting the chef and the owner.
Best Mediterranean restaurant I've been to. Got the family platter and every single thing on it was delicious. The feta cigars are life changing. Service is spectacular. And there was a belly dancer with music. Amazing dinner experience.
May just be my fave new restaurant. Anything I've had here is delicious. Great selection and many options on the menu so it'll never get boring eating here!

Ordered gyros that surpassed expectations– absolutely delicious. Staff was super hospitable and nice. Was personally welcomed back several times by different staff members. Overall, the best dining service I've ever had in the DFW.
Thanks to Ali and Isa, me and my husband had the best food ever, it was delicious and no matter how full you get you have to get dessert. 😍
This guys really know how to cook delicious Turkish foods. Great atmosphere, fast service, good music playlists and successful crew! Ephesus is the best mediterranean restaurant in Texas!
If you are looking for absolutely amazing food, service, great ambiance and positive atmosphere, this is the right place to choose! We go there pretty often. Their brunches on Sundays are great!
Everything our foursome ordered was absolutely delicious 😋. The lunch special came with soup, salad or appetizer and I tried them all. The entrees of chicken ,lamb,moussaka and meat ball skewer were juicy, savory and very fresh. Presentation of food was so colorful and artistic
, it made me want to take photos!
It was the best tasting Turkish food I've had since being in Izmir. All should be regular customers here!
Love it beautiful testing best service :) thank you so much for best food :)
You can't go wrong here! Food is amazing. We love the owner. Try the sautéed liver, Turkish Beef Sausage & Crispy Calamari for starters. Branzino so fresh.
Best Mediterranean restaurant. Service, food and desert excellent. Owner served us and interact with customers.
The food is always plentiful and delicious. The entire staff is very attentive. The ambience is high energy. And, oh...that bread!!!!
This is my new favorite local restaurant. The food is amazingly good and the service is so warm and inviting. Check it out soon!

I love this place , food is delicious service so fast and smile everyone :) thank you for your service
This has become one of my go to dining experiences! Perfectly cooked entrees and attentive servIce. Plus, it's healthy!
Excellent service and food! I hope this restaurant lasts in this location. I Love Mediterranean food! They've done it really well!!!
The food was wonderful!! Can’t wait to come back!
I found a new favorite dish! Their fried goat cheese appetizer was deliciously creamy. I would come back for that alone. The dish I ordered was great too. I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I still finished the dish because it was great. It was a quiet afternoon, so I got excellent, attentive service. The place has a great atmosphere, cute and classy.
Very nice atmosphere, cozy design inside. Service was good. Food was mediocre. We got Adana kebab and chicken shish kebab. I was excited to try Adana kebab but won’t be going back for it to say the least. And the amount of salad/veggies they put was a bite size.
Food so good it makes you want to cry with joy! Wonderful experience from start to finish and in the top 3 best restaurants I've ever eaten at. Just really fantastic, the atmosphere, the food, the staff... bravo!
I just moved to the area and was craving Mediterranean food. My sister (who has lived here but had no idea of this place) and I randomly came across Ephesus next to the Tom Thumb I go to and decided to try. We are so glad we came across them. The two male waiters were so nice and made us feel like we were having a luxury experience. The restaurant is also very clean. But let me tell you, THE FOOD. It was absolutely amazing and so fresh tasting. Feta rolls, Greek salad (I’ve never seen a Greek salad with such fresh and vibrant colors), chicken kabobs, hummus, etc. Funny enough, I heard a coworker talk about how she found this place randomly too and went in with no expectations but left blown away.
Great Food. Really flavorful. Ambience is warm and cozy. Not too fancy but good. Service is really good. I have tried multiple dished at times all the dishes are good.
The food is great, no complaints, a bit overpriced, but its fine . The vibe of place is not very authentic, I didn't feel I'm in an authentic turkish restaurant. Hopefully, they make it more like home .
Birkan gave me the best service I have ever received at a restaurant in my entire life! I came here for dinner around 5:30 on 7/11. I was immediately greeted and seated with a warm and friendly welcome from Birkan. When I was asked if I was ready to order, I asked for a recommendation. Birkan asked me if this was my first time. I said yes. He then took my menu and told me that I could trust him. He was right! First, I received the lahmacun as an appetizer. It was delicious! Reminded me of a Mediterranean spiced thin crust pizza. Then I received the Adana Kebab. It was even better! The vegetables and rice were cooked perfectly with great spices and flavors, and the kebab was juicy and tender and full of deep umami flavors! Then Birkan asked me if I had room for dessert. Of course! He then nodded approvingly and returned with the Kazandibi. I would never have ordered this because of the description, but I am so glad I tried it! The caramelized custard was one of the most unique desserts I have ever had. The combination of the sweet creamy custard and smokey caramel topped with pistachios had me going back for more until it was all gone. Then to top it all off, Turkish tea! It warmed my soul! I will never forget the experience I had tonight. So wonderful! And I am so very thankful to Birkan!
Second time I've been here and it was as good as the first time. I went here with my fiancee and it was a perfect spot for a nice 1on1 dinner. Ambience is good, was a little busy but we were able to be seated quickly. Turkish food! The complimentary bread rolls are amazing, but the chili oil butter takes it over the top. We got the feta rolls, which were also crispy and great. Pita is $1 per whole piece. I got the Her Majesty Special, and my fiancee got the Lamb Kebab. The Her Majesty Special was very flavorful but to be honest, a little too much for me. It was a bit salty and a bit of a chore to finish. But the lamb kebabs were great. Everything you would want. The wait for food was long, but the waiters were great and apologized multiple times and gave us complimentary tea. The baklava was on point too. 5/5 would definitely recommend.

This is exactly how a restaurant should operate. I highly encourage you to dine here before it gets the attention it deserves. Truly a gem. I will be dining here again soon, and often.
The Greek Moussaka was my favorite of all the dishes we had, and the chef special was incredible as well.
I've been here a couple times now and have not been disappointed yet. Their food is amazing and it's a nice, casual atmosphere. The server was very accommodating. I ordered a Greek salad when I meant to order a shepherds salad, and he switched it out at no cost, even though it was my mistake. Definitely a good option for lunch or a casual dinner. I will be back, for sure!
