Efes Turkish Restaurant

Efes Turkish Restaurant in Taunton brings a taste of Anatolia to this Somerset town, offering a menu that balances hearty grills with fresh, vibrant sides. The kitchen here treats Turkish cuisine as both comfort food and an art form—think slow-marinated meats, fluffy rice, and salads that burst with brightness. It’s a place where the flavours feel authentic, not watered down for the high street.

The cooking centres on the grill, where skewers of seasoned lamb and chicken get that essential char without losing their juiciness. Alongside, the rice is fragrant and delicately spiced, while the salads offer a crisp, tangy counterpoint. For those who want a full spread, the mixed grill is a generous tour of the menu’s best bits. Order via Foodhub for a meal that travels well, arriving with its textures and heat intact. Efes serves the whole Taunton area, making it a reliable choice for a Turkish fix at home.
