Efes Town Turkish Cuisine

Portland Road's been quietly building a reputation, and Efes Town is a big reason why. You walk in to warm lighting and the smell of charcoal and spices—no faffing about with fusion nonsense here. The menu reads like a tour through Turkish regions: lamb shish that's actually charred properly, hummus that tastes like someone cares, and kebabs that justify the queue on Friday nights. It's where locals come because the food's genuine and the staff treat you like you're part of the neighbourhood.
