Amazing location and ambiance. Great service with great staff.. Turkish food without a doubt is amazing. Located near Rutgers University on the corner with 2 floors and an attached Cafe and near Robert Wood Johnson Hospital. Prices are decent and transportation is nearby. So many food options that you have to go back.

My wife and I came here on a whim after work before heading home and we enjoyed our meal. The Turkish break with the hummus was really good as were the grape leaves. The Grape Leaves had a sweetness to them I wasn't used to but I loved it! Looking forward to going back and trying more things. Lamb Adana Kebab (not pictured) was solid! (7.5/10)

I've been to the Efes in Princeton numerous times, but had yet to try the New Brunswick location. The interior of this 2nd floor restaurant is nicer and more spacious than the other location. I love the decor and the lighting fixtures for an authentic Turkish feel. It creates a great ambiance. Our food and service were both great. We started off with the hummus appetizer. Both the hummus and the accompanying pita was fresh and delicious. We ordered numerous entrees from Kabobs, Gyros, to Vegetarian dishes. My friend found her food to be too spicy, while I found my Gyro Platter to be too bland. That's where the wonderful white sauce (yogurt sauce) and red sauce (spicy) added perfect additions to my meal. I would definitely go back here again.

The kebabs are phenomenal. The service is good and the ambiance is enjoyably Mediterranean. The desserts, too, are excellent.

Great authentic Turkish food, super friendly service and wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend for dining in, it is group friendly.

Recently visited this super cute gem in New Brunswick. Wasn't feeling my best so I went and treated myself to a dimly lit and intimate dining experience. The UPSTAIRS dining is just WOW ...The ambiance, the food, the presentation, and the service was just what my soul needed. Although I was craving a lamb shish kebab pita sandwich, the item is not offered as a dinner entree, only lunch. Thankfully, the server added a fresh and warm pita so that I could satisfy my craving. Everything was fresh.. The lamb was delicious and fries were great. Overall, whatever your mood, you won't be disappointed. Aside from the decor, what I loved the most is the night views over this busy Easton Avenue strip.

What a vibe! Upstairs is the main dining area which is very nicely designed. Ther service we recientes was great too - friendly and helpful with picking menu options. We started with the Mediterranean salad which was deliciously refreshing. The zucchini pancakes were great too, great flavor and cook on them, even better with the white sauce that comes alongside the free bread for the table. For the entree I had the chicken kebab yogurt-- not much description on the physical menu but it was recommended as I wasn't in the mood for any red sauce. Chicken had amazing flavor and cook, even the next day for leftovers it tasted great! It doesn't come with any sides which is the only downside of it; a choice of a side like rice, salad, or fries would've been better especially for the hefty price.

Sidewalk dining option in summer with some all the traditional veggie options. When you order hummus and falafel, you need to order the pita separately. Of course, you could go with the wrap but the wrapping doesn't include hummus. Note: Nassau street is fairly noisy - so dine inside if you want to have a decent conversation.

I returned to Efes for lunch pre-theater. It was excellent (food quality & service) Facilities are clean. They are a 15-min walk to the theater STNJ.org Near many parking garages near by.
