Efes Turkish Restuarant, Shanghai. Incredible Restaurant.

I used to eat in Efes Restaurant when it was in Tempe, AZ.  I loved the Donner Kebab and a number of other menu items, but unfortunately it closed. I missed it for some time, but then when in Shanghai, China, there it was. I found it again. It has the same great food I remember. The Donner kebab with it’s bits of toasted pita, sour cream and tomato sauce mixed with the rich seared lamb and beef. The perfectly cooked lamb kebab with the pleasant blend of spices. The humus appetizer starting it all off, everything was great, just like I remembered and it brought me back home again to meals with my loved ones. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it was a little pricey, with the exchange rate of about 6 yuan to the dollar. The  bill for 2 people eating well was about $45, or more if you ordered alcohol depending on what you order. It was within walking distance from the Marriott Courtyard hotel (Marriot Courtyard Website) I stayed at in Pudong. It was about a 20-30 minute walk though which I used to walk off the large meal. Here is the google map link (Efes Google Maps) I look forward to my next trip to Shanghai.
