New restaurant named EFES has opened in Formby

A brand new restaurant has opened in our Bubble - EFES BBQ Restaurant. The restaurant which is on Church Road is in place of the previous Sofraa. The shop has been split in half and refurbished to a very high standard with huge chandeliers and outstanding decor.

New Owner, Erhan has been in the trade for fifteen years after working his way up from a waiter to manager. Previously working as manager in Cafe Rouge and Gusto.

Erhan said: "We offer Turkish cuisine, BBQ cuisine and chargrilled seafoods. Our unique BBQ food is cooked on a charcoal burner and you can even see the food being cooked by our brand new chefs on the only BBQ burner in Formby." The lush new restaurant seats 70 people and is also open for private functions of up to 35/40 people. Offering Turkish wines and the only Turkish draught lager (Efes) in Formby.

Formby Bubble where invited to review the food at EFES BBQ Restaurant. We tried turkish puf bread with dips, assorted mezes, and assorted meats cooked on the charcoal bbq.

The food was absolutely amazing, really tasty, meats cooked on the charcoal bbq where so delicious, tender, full of flavour. We tried foods some of us had never tasted before, but will most certainly taste again. We also sampled Efes draught lager and turkish wine, both very, very good.

The decor is beautiful, the service excellent, welcoming. The food was the best Turkish food we have ever tasted. We recommend you visit this oriental delight in our beautiful Formby.
