The Efendi, Turkish restaurant in Mysiadło, Poland
L'Efendi is a Turkish restaurant in Mysiadło, a small town near Warsaw, Poland. The space is modest in size and decorated with Turkish design elements that give the dining room a warm, inviting feel.
L'Efendi opened a few years ago, born from a passion for authentic Turkish cooking and a desire to bring that tradition to Poland. The restaurant's chefs trained in Turkey and Europe and work with original recipes.
L'Efendi serves only halal meat and offers traditional Turkish dishes such as kebab, meze, and baklava. A notable feature is the serving of rakı, the classic Turkish anise spirit, poured chilled in tall glasses alongside water and small bites.
The restaurant draws local workers and residents at lunch and works well for groups or families in the evening. The staff are happy to explain the dishes and help with choices, even if you are unfamiliar with Turkish food.
The restaurant also offers şalgam, a sour fermented drink made from carrots and turnips that is rarely found outside Turkey. Those who do not eat meat will find grilled seafood and vegetable options on the menu as well.
