About Ephesus Brighton

A new chapter for Ephesus Brighton

Ephesus Brighton is entering an exciting new chapter under the team behind Efes. With a shared passion for authentic Turkish cuisine, generous hospitality, and memorable dining experiences, our vision is to build on the restaurant’s established name while bringing renewed energy, consistency, and care to every part of the guest experience.

We believe great Turkish dining is about more than what arrives at the table. It is about atmosphere, welcome, and the joy of sharing good food with the people around you. That is the spirit behind everything we do at Ephesus Brighton — creating a restaurant that feels warm, vibrant, and genuinely inviting from the moment you walk through the door.

Turkish food made to be shared

In Turkish culture, food brings people together. Meals are built around conversation, sharing, and a table filled with variety. That is exactly the experience we want to create at Ephesus Brighton.

Our menu is designed to reflect the richness of Turkish dining, from hot and cold starters to breakfast dishes, grilled favourites, meze platters, house specials, oven dishes, seafood, salads, desserts, and drinks. Whether you are visiting for a light lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a full table of dishes to enjoy with family and friends, our aim is always the same: authentic flavour, generous portions, and a meal worth returning for.

Rooted in authenticity

At Ephesus Brighton, we keep our focus on the things that matter most: quality ingredients, careful preparation, and dishes that stay true to the bold, comforting flavours Turkish cuisine is known for.

From vibrant meze and freshly prepared starters to expertly grilled kebabs and traditional house favourites, every plate is created with attention to flavour, balance, and consistency. We want every guest to enjoy food that feels honest, satisfying, and full of character — the kind of experience that turns a first visit into a regular one.

Hospitality comes first.

Warm hospitality is at the heart of Turkish dining, and it is central to how we want every guest to feel at Ephesus Brighton. Whether you are joining us for a casual lunch, dinner with friends, a family gathering, or a special occasion, our goal is to make your time with us relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable.

As the team behind Efes takes over Ephesus Brighton, we are committed to creating a restaurant experience that combines authentic food with attentive service, a welcoming atmosphere, and standards guests can trust every time they visit.
