EFENDY

Famed local chef Somer Sivrioğlu has assembled a talented team at EFENDY, a vibrant restaurant with a warm Middle Eastern-inspired ambiance, located slightly outside the main tourist area. Here, traditional Anatolian cuisine is reimagined with a twist. Ancient techniques meet open-fire cooking and fresh ideas to create dishes that deliver real pleasure. Creamy hummus is elevated with just the right amount of tahini and herb-infused olive oil, and served with deep-fried chickpeas and capers. Be sure to sample the lahmacun with its wonderful aromas from the wood-fired oven. A delightful juxtaposition of old and new – accompanied by outstanding cocktails.
