★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Carolyn P. · Feb 2026

It was mediocre at best. Our server wasn't the friendliest, and didnt attend us that much either. 8 dollars for half a loaf seems a little cheap on their part. There's differently better places to go to for that price point, id say skip this place.

I started coming here many, many years ago. And again, I left reviews, and they're not here. So Google, I swear. So now for my revisit, the food is still delicious. Whatever it is on the menu you want, it's worth ordering. I've had the meat and cheese plate. I've had the fruit plate, the lamb chops. They know how to cook lamb. The lamb chops delicious, tender, cooked perfectly. The dips so worth it. The bread is made fresh for dipping. Highly recommend this place and what I love the most is probably the best Mediterranean. If not the best that I've had in the Atlanta area and I've been everywhere from Midtown, downtown and around Sandy springs, you name it, this is the best and their prices are worth it.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ali · Jan 2026

I visited Cafe Efendi in Atlanta and dined in. About 40 minutes before arriving, I called the restaurant to let them know I was on my way and that I was in a hurry. When I arrived, we were the only customers in the restaurant. I was told on the phone that the food would be ready within 5 minutes, but it ended up taking around 15 minutes, despite clearly mentioning my urgency. When we ordered ayran, the glasses served to me and the person sitting next to me were different sizes, which felt inconsistent and unprofessional. At the beginning, I asked for a menu and was told to use the QR code. However, some items on the QR menu did not have prices. I then asked for a physical menu but was told again to use the QR code. When leaving, I noticed that there were many physical menus available. No

Ebru is a polite and attentive server. She served food promptly, maintained good hygiene, and made the dining experience pleasant. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amy Wolkis · Feb 2026

We love Cafe Efendi, the food is always great and the service is wonderful too! The hummus and warm pita are the best in town. We sat at a booth in the bar area and had such a nice experience with Mohammad. He’s awesome. * I just want to add one suggestion… I have been coming here on and off for years but now we avoid sitting in the main dining area because the lighting is very bright and cold. Years ago it used to be warm and cozy. Please consider changing the lighting back to warmer, dimmer, incandescent bulbs. Atmosphere is such a big part of the dining experience!
