Efendi Turkish Restaurant (BAYVIEW LOCATION)

Adana Kebab

Spiced ground lamb hand-pressed onto wide skewers and grilled over charcoal, arriving smoky and just charred at the edges with a tender interior

Iskender Kebab

Thinly sliced döner layered over torn pide bread, blanketed in rich tomato sauce and pooled with browned butter, served with thick yogurt on the side

Lahmacun

Paper-thin flatbread topped with spiced minced meat, rolled up with parsley and a squeeze of lemon — the Turkish answer to a street-food pizza

Pide

Boat-shaped flatbread baked to order with your choice of filling — the ground lamb and cheese version is the reliable crowd-pleaser

Mezze Platter

A spread of cold starters including hummus, cacık, patlıcan salatası, and stuffed grape leaves — solid across the board and the right way to open the meal

Baklava

Honey-soaked layers of phyllo with pistachios, dense and sweet in the traditional fashion — not the flakiest in Toronto but respectable as a finisher

Mixed Grill Platter

A combination of several kebab varieties ideal for groups — lets you sample Adana, chicken shish, and lamb chops without committing to a single protein

Turkish Tea (Çay)

Served in the classic tulip glass, strong and properly brewed — the correct finish to any kebab meal and essentially mandatory
