Efes Restaurant

Head down to Broomhall and you'll find Efes tucked along the Glossop Road stretch that's become Sheffield's go-to for no-nonsense Turkish food. Walk in and you're met with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like a regular immediately—staff who actually want you there, not just clocking in. The menu reads like a greatest hits of Turkish grilling: the lamb shish is properly charred, the mixed kebabs come piled high, and the mezze spreads are generous enough that you'll be fighting over the last of the hummus. It's the sort of place where families pile in on Friday nights and groups of mates commandeer tables, everyone tucking into the same plates and talking loudly over each other. Prices are honest too—you won't be leaving empty-pocketed after a proper feed.
