This is my go to restaurant for my teams Christmas meal, second year we have been and the food has been amazing, great staff, great atmosphere warm and welcoming. We will most definitely be back December 24 God willing!
First time visiting, won't be the last. Food was delicious, delivered timely and not over facing. The service was quick and the staff were charming. There was a birthday party ongoing when we visited, lively without being raucous. Would highly recommend this Huddersfield Gem!
Without doubt one of the best restaurants in Huddersfield. Me and my girlfriend have been many times over the years and I've never Ince come away and had anything negative to say. We had the mixed hot meze sharing platter for 2 people to start and It was absolutley gorgeous! Then I had the chicken marmaris and my girlfriend had the lamb guvec. They both came out on this ceramic skillet bowls so whilst you was eating it, the sauce was still bubbling away meaning jt was always nice and hot! I had the caramel cheesecake and it was honestly, the best cheese cake I've ever had. My girlfriend chose the home made baklava and it was perfect! The staff are some.of.the nicest people ever, always making sure you gave everything you need, asking if you want any more drinks and always up for a little chat. If your looking for somewhere to go whether it be for a special occasion, date night or just for something to eat. THe Ephesus Is the place to go!
Authentic Turkish food in the heart of Huddersfield next to St George's Square. I love the portion sizes and the food is tasty too
It was my first time with Turkish cuisine and I'm loving it. This restaurant has wonderful welcoming staff and if it's been local or would have definitely been my local restaurant to impress friends and family. Highly recommended.
Absolutely gorgeous food, brilliant service and a lovely atmosphere. I had the vegetable fajitas and the orange chocolate cake and it was absolutely beautiful. Loads of choice for vegetarians as well as meat eaters. 3 of us had starters too and shared wine and soft drinks and it came to just over 100. We ate at 7pm and there were mostly couples and family groups some with children under 16. Wasn't too noisy, nobody was racuos in their behaviour and we felt very well looked after.
My friend booked us in for the bottomless brunch for my birthday. First time going in. But won't be the last! The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Service was fast. Food was amazing. I could have drunk a lot more of the vodka sunset cocktails. Were offered a dessert menu but we were so full that we couldn't face dessert as well.
Chose this as it was one of the highest rated food places in Huddersfield. Satisfied - for 17.50 you get a nice 2 course meal eg king prawns starter and sizzling lamb guvec. Nice crispy chips with the chicken marmaris too. Food served speedily. Conveniently located right in front of the train station. Clean, bright toilet. No regrets.
