| - We used to go to Efes Restaurant in Tempe before it closed. When we learned that the former owner of Efes had now opened a restaurant in Chandler, we just had to check it out.
Although not decorated like Efes used to be, the Turkish Kitchen restaurant was clean and neat, with plenty of seating in booths or at tables. Some areas near the back of the restaurant (hallway leading to restrooms & storage areas) could definitely use some TLC, as they appear pretty worn, scuffed and in need of painting.
The food was every bit as good as we hoped. We started with the Coban Salata, in addition to the wonderful fresh bread. For our main course, we ordered Iskender Kebab and Adana Kebab. The portions were ample and there were two meal sizes available, depending upon your appetite. The meals were presented very nicely and were delicious. Service was prompt and attentive, and our server (Oscar) was very friendly and justifiably proud of the restaurant and its food.
Overall, I'm glad we tried Turkish Kitchen and would recommend it as quite authentic. I would say my overall rating is between 3.5 and 4, with the only shortcoming being the lack of more interesting decor.
