★★★★★ 5.0 nelbgarrido · Nov 2025

I'm thrilled to have discovered this hidden Greek gem. The pita bread is unquestionably the best I've ever had, with a perfectly soft interior and a lightly toasted, flavorful crust. Their Greek salads are fresh and vibrant, bursting with crisp vegetables, feta cheese, and a tangy dressing. I particularly love the Kabob mixed plate, which offers a generous assortment of authentic Greek favorites, expertly prepared. I regret not finding this place sooner. The ambiance is elegant yet cozy, with warm lighting and tasteful decor, complemented by outstanding service. I highly recommend this spot to anyone seeking genuine Greek cuisine that not only tastes incredible but also sits comfortably in your stomach.

This place is gorgeous! Staff is very very kind. They were helpful and patient when we were deciding between different delicious food options. The ambiance was so comfortable and cozy. The entrees were delicious- as were the main courses. Absolute wonderful place to be for a birthday dinner, or any other event. Amazing hospitality, we left with a smile and a full stomach. :)

I’ve had the chance to eat at several Michelin-level restaurants and travel around the world, and I was highly impressed with Efesis Mediterranean Cuisine. The food was excellent and offered at a great price compared to authentic gourmet dining. The atmosphere was warm and very clean, the service was quick and friendly, and everything felt well taken care of. The kebabs and mezes were perfectly seasoned, not too spicy, just the right balance of flavors. The grilled green vegetables that came with the dinner plate were perfect, and the freshly baked wood-oven pita bread was outstanding, really elevating the entire meal. Our group included vegetarians and a couple of friends who needed gluten-free options, and everyone was pleased with their food. Personally, I don’t like food with too many

I don't normally like baklava but this one was Moist and had lots of flavor. The eggplant was wow. That's a hard veggie to cook in my opinion. The mixed entree was very yummy. The lamb was super soft. I would go back when on town

★★★☆☆ 3.0 O P · Feb 2026

Reviews for this place highlight how far Seattle is from Turkey. The lack of Mediterranean food here is staggering. Flavors should be bright and tangy with hints of fresh mint and dill not just parsley. Meats should be marinated, seared, and juicy. Yogurt sauce should be thick, and tangy with a pop of garlic. Sautéed food, whether mushrooms or fish should have a a golden crisp finish. Service was lovely and attentive. The food was bland. All of it. The best thing was the hummus and you can find better at the supermarket. You can just look at the pictures and see that the food comes out anemic. A steamed onion, a light pink tomato wedge, barely seasoned rice pilaf, half a jalepeno and the weakest yogurt sauce I've ever tried accompanied a barely heated kebab. The "Sauteed" fish was barely
