Efendy Turkish Restaurant |
Owner and Chef Somer Sivrioglu brings a rich Turkish heritage and a wealth of knowledge to the table at Efendy.

Staying true to the authenticity of his vision, Chef Sivrioglu travels back to Istanbul, Turkey (European Capital of Culture 2010), regularly to ensure Efendy reflects the latest trends and stays true to contemporary Turkish cuisine. Additionally, the Efendy kitchen team is entirely Turkish, with each member representing a different culinary region.
The Efendy experience is complete with genuine Turkish hospitality - Chef Sivrioglus wife Asli and brother-in-law, Fatih Kulle, manage the Efendy floor team, and all the Efendy staff display the charm, attention to detail and warmth typical of the Turkish culture. Such hospitality, coupled with the restaurants relaxed and sophisticated ambience, completes the superb culinary experience.
