Quick info
About Efes BBQ
Efes BBQ is a Turkish restaurant at 69-73 High St N in Dunstable, serving meze alongside main dishes from the kitchen. Starters include sigara börek, and the mains cover lamb ribs and Adana kofta. Each table receives a free cucumber dip and bread before the meal, so the food begins with something to share. The meal ends with complimentary Turkish tea, and the team brings a free dessert or baklava as well, which makes the finish part of the visit rather than an add-on.

Customer Review Summary
Lamb is what diners praise most at this Turkish restaurant, with the lamb ribs, lamb chops and lamb shish all described as delicious and cooked to perfection. One reviewer says they could have eaten 16 of the ribs. Close behind are the Adana kofta, chicken beyti and chicken shish, along with the lamb sarma beyti and a sarma borek starter, often paired with tzatziki or mint yoghurt. Portions are called generous, and several find the pricing very reasonable for the quality. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as warm, chill and relaxing, and the staff as friendly, attentive and welcoming. One visitor says it felt like being on holiday. A dessert topped with fresh fruit and lightly sweetened gets particular mention. Complimentary extras come up repeatedly: cucumber dip and bread with dips before the meal, then baklava or dessert with Turkish tea on the house. One birthday table was surprised with a small cake and a celebration song.

“Absolutely fantastic experience! Efe's BBQ is easily one of the best restaurants in the Luton and Dunstable area. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The ambience was lovely, the seating area was comfortable and clean, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. We had the lamb chops and lamb ribs meals, and both were absolutely delicious — beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. The appetizers were also excellent, and the desserts were the perfect way to finish the meal. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, the staff were professional, friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt well thought-out from start to finish. Honestly, everything was just perfect. Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service and a lovely dining experience. I would definitely recommend Ife’s Barbecue Restaurant and will absolutely be coming back! 10/10!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing experience! We visited as 3 adults and 2 children and everything was perfect. The food was delicious — fresh, full of flavour and honestly one of the best meals we’ve had. The staff were all fantastic, friendly and welcoming, but one team member really stood out — Mohamed. I don’t even know how to describe it properly; he was absolutely exceptional. Professional, kind, attentive and made us feel genuinely looked after. Service like that makes a huge difference. We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! ❤️”

“What an absolutely fantastic all round dining in experience at Efes. From excellent staff, delicious food and beautiful restaurant. Firstly the waiter gave us cucumber dip on the house and then after our meal we were given dessert again on the house with Turkish tea for no reason whatsoever. We were truly amazed at such generosity. We'll definitely be back with family and friends. Thank you to the wonderful manager. Your kindness was really appreciated.”
