This place is fabulous! Even if the food was medeocre, which it was NOT, the ambiance, and decor is sooooo cool! I'm just so sorry I've lived in W Seattle for 20+ years, drove past it hundreds of times, and never tried it unless now!!
Great food at a reasonable price. Quality ingredients and warm atmosphere. We drive all the way from Greenlake to dine there.
First time there, wonderful food and staff. Return trip for sure!
I’ve been coming here for years. Consistently amazing food and service.
Probably the best Turkish cuisine in the greater Seattle area.
An amazing restaurant. The service extremely friendly and the food exceptional.
The food was lovely. The service was beautiful. The restaurant is cozy and intimate.
Amazing and authentic!!! LOVE IT!!! Service is outstanding!! Food is brilliant!
Exotic food is my passion, and once I began enjoying all of what Ephesus can offer, I just dont see the need to visit other restaurants. Each dish is handmade and fresh daily, their specials are new and devoured by other patrons so I know to be early and make a reservation if I want access to their specials.
Food was delicious! And service was great. We will definitely be going back.
Favorite date night restaurant!
This is the place to go for Mediterranean food near pioneer square. The hummus, feta, and eggplant is fantastic. We also had the octopus with the bean puree, and a dish with peppers, rice, potatoes and a tomato sauce that were all real fresh and tasted great. Casual seating, and the park has become very safe to walk around in. Don't skip the Greek and Turkish coffee.... It's absolutely rocket fuel!!! If you are going to any event in this area this is a super convenient spot to pregame and enjoy!!!
Ephesus is a great Greek restaurant on California Ave, my fiancé and I have driven by many times. One could miss this place easily. But the other day we decided to check it out. And what a wonderful surprise that was. The food we shared was nothing short of phenomenal. When you come to eat here you will be rewarded. This is the best Greek food I have eaten in years. The only Greek food that was better, was made by my friend’s Greek grandmother. We are so happy to find such an outstanding Greek restaurant so close by, and very affordable. The food is so fresh and flavorful. The chef knows what they are doing here. This is going to be a new favorite. Check this place out, you will be very happy you did.
Great food and nice little place. It’s made by the people who grew up eatin this food so I’m happy to be part of eating great food from the flaming cheese to the lamb skewers and the meat pie. I like it but it’s on the spendy side so be ready to leave an arm and leg for lunch and the baklava it wasn’t that good at all It was soggy on the bottom and that just put a bad taste in my mouth, soggy pastry dough sucks. Also don’t pay for parking just park at the store next to it and walk over that’s what we did!
Quiet afternoon spent on the roof top deck overlooking the bay. Great view, friendly staff. Laid back and un-rushed atmosphere, perfect for relaxing with friends. Food was delicious, though a little bit pricey, had generous portions.
Family friendly downstairs.
This was an awesome place to try out! The food was above and beyond amazing! Our waiter was the best! The baklava was amazing! This is the best food I've had so far in Seattle! I would highly recommend this restaurant for a must stop!
Hubby and I came here for dinner, we ordered the octopus and beet salad to start. The octopus was so flavourful with the purreed white beans, capers and red onions, we definitely would order this dish again... 5/5 stars for sure!
The beet salad was a little lack luster, it had more arugula then beets and didn't have a lot of flavour, we would give it 2/5-stars.
For the main dish, I ordered the lamb with orzo, hubby ordered the beef Short ribs (no photo) both dishes were delicious. 5/5 stars
All in all, the service and food were amazing and we would come back to eat again.
We visited this place to celebrate our anniversary and it was a perfect spot for such a romantic occasion. My wife loved the interior of the place as well as their great food and service. Food was authentic yet tasty, and staff was kind and helpful. We were happy with both the Skewer and the Moussaka. When you visit here, you must try their tiramisu baklava - it is unique and it just melts away in your mouth... Just perfect.
Stopped here for a quick bite before a wedding rehearsal. And we found an amazing quiant Resturant. Love the ambience. Love the Front and backyard heated patios. The staff was very friendly and the establishment is well maintained. As for the food. The Beet Salad was tasty along with the Lamb Sandwich. Wish it was bigger.
Our favorite spot in West Seattle keeps getting better. We always feel welcomed and the food and service are always perfect. We tried the new Greek menu and couldn't love it more. The chef has an obvious passion for the dishes he's offering and the presentation and attention to detail are outstanding. We can't wait to go back and try more new options!
The lamb shank is very delicious, without a strong lamb smell, and it goes well with potatoes and Greek spices. Cheese is a must-order dish in the store, which is very suitable for taking pictures and eating. The shop assistants are very kind and friendly. It is highly recommended that everyone come to this restaurant to eat, it is a good place for gatherings and dates.
This place is very authentic to Greece as possible. The food was very good & prepared well! We had the trio spread with pita which was severed warm. Then we shared the family meal & it was very good. The servers were very nice & very busy. This place is very popular so make sure you make a reservation! They have paid parking & outside seating. Make sure you leave room for dessert because they make it right there & have many different baklava’s to choose from.
The Lamb burger was so good. Very flavorful with a rich bun that had a good taste of its own with some truffle fries. Our server was really friendly and professional. 🙏🏾
Ephesus is an authentic Greek restaurant playing traditional Greek music as you dine and it overlooks Puget Sound. The views are remarkable and the food was wonderful. Again we opted for appetizers because on this particular night we were doing a restaurant crawl where we visited 2 different ones. We ordered the fava beans, flaming saganaki cheese and octopus then finished our meal with an assortment of baklava.
Came a few times in the last couple of weeks...food is awesome...service is awesome...and the atmosphere is why I came back a few times. The views from the upper patio (21+) are amazing.
Such a pleasant surprise! Walked in for lunch, food was delicious (OMG these meatballs 😍) and my apperol was impeccable.
First time coming here, so we ordered what was recommended to us by the host. Everything was amazing! Branzino cooked to perfection, seasoning on the lamb skewers was out of this world. Very cozy environment, welcoming service. 10/10 will definitely be back.
