Food is always great. Service is top notch. Everything we have had has been excellent. The hummus is fresh and excellent.

Wow, if you love Mediterranean food (Turkish version) that's fresh, tons of flavor and friendly servers, you're in for a treat! Best keep secret near Rockwall downtown (across the bridge in Rowlett )

This is a super cute place that is worth the drive to Rowlett! We had great service and the food was made fresh and flavorful. The lavash bread and hummus are a must try. My husband had the steak kabob which was delicious. I had the shrimp sauté which was also delicious and is so much food!

We visited on a weekday evening and it was raining HARD. We were recommended this restaurant by a friend from Fort Worth, so we finally made the time to stop by. The service is top-notch with a casual, laid back atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive and took thorough care of us by conversing and offering his recommendations to us. If there is something I know when visiting any restaurant is to try their recommendations first. They know what's best. We tried their "Sucuklu Kasarli Pide" and "Humus" for starters. Both are fresh and not over-seasoned. For entrees I had dabbled in some lamb kabobs and the beef sauté. The meat from both dishes are incredibly tender, well-seasoned, and they gave you PLENTY of food. Definitely had some leftovers, and the accompaniments paired beautifully. "Baklava" was one of the best we have had, you could tell it was fresh with the crisp phyllo dough and warm syrup. Excited to go back soon!

Thank you so much for your hospitality and food ; Specially Adana Kebab ! Everything was perfect!! thank you so much again

12-23-2024 Holiday shoppers, and a lot of people in line at fast food places... Then I see charming dining room of Ephesus, three tables of smiling diners, one table doing a toast of wine. Happy! Okay, I can get takeout from Ephesus, but not the wine ha ha! The staff is warm & welcoming, and professional. I get the Greek Salad, it is big enough for 2, or 3 persons. All ingredients chopped fresh this day. It is old country style, no lettuce, all veggies cut bite-size, pieces of Feta are generous, and a Mediterranean dressing. I added grilled chicken breast, cooked & cut like kebab, and you get warm Pita cut into triangle pieces. Would have loved to dine-in, but I had to give somebody a ride home. Thank you Ephesus, Best Wishes for the Season.

Friendly staff and great food options. Check this place out!! Also has fine dine in options that are intimate for personal experience.

Great Find near our home! Turkish/Med style- This is a family operated business and we received very personalized service. Our waiter was awesome, we had a relatively large party from church and he did wonderfully. He never wrote anything down and all orders were perfect. All appetizers were authentic and paired nicely with the large flatbread that is complimentary. Service was efficient, but never rushed. Beverages were kept full and we were well cared for. My wife had the vegetable plate and I had the chicken shish- we shared. Chicken was awesome, cooked perfectly and juicy. Hummus was thick and rich- zucchini fritters are tremendous. Everyone at our table enjoyed! Chocolate mousse cake was decadent- We can't wait to return.

My goodness. Authentic Turkish cuisine. I say cuisine not food on purpose. They can help new comers dial in what fits their palate. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Family owned and operated (I love these places), and an exceptional dining experience. Take out is very good, stick to kebab, tabouleh, falafel. Dining in is what I would promote. The home baked bread and the specialty dishes come in hot crockery plates. Insanely delicious.

One of the most authentic Turkish restaurants in DFW I've been to! Such a gem, Rowlett is lucky to have. Service is great, and food is brought out so fast/efficiently and fresh! Bathrooms clean. I've been watching Hell's Kitchen a ton lately, and this place should be an example on how to run a restaurant! First off you get complimentary fresh baked bread with a side of cacik (Turkish tzatziki essentially). There's sesame seeds on the bread which I loved. We tried the pide (cheesy bread/flatbread) with Turkish sausage! Was super good. Then my husband and I shared the Chef's special beef sauté. He loved it so much he said it was his top 5 best dishes of his life haha. It reminded us of Korean galbi Jim with the cheese on top! Loved the eggplant in it as well. Everything came out piping hot! For dessert I got my favorite Turkish dessert, kazandibi! It's like a burnt crust milk pudding/flan. Nothing else quite like it. So tasty and hard to find, as not a lot of places make it! Overall great experience, and we will be back to try all the other cool dishes! Every time something came out we were like oooh we need to try that next haha
