EFELIF KEBAB

About

The scent of grilled lamb hits you before you even step inside EFELIF KEBAB. It’s a small spot, but the aroma promises something substantial. The Adana kebab, ground lamb seasoned with red pepper flakes and grilled on a wide skewer, is the star. It’s served with fluffy rice and a simple salad. The restaurant is Muslim-owned. Kebab is a cornerstone of Turkish cuisine, a legacy of nomadic Turkic peoples who grilled meat over open fires. While Tokyo has a vast array of international food, finding a dedicated Turkish kebab shop that’s Muslim-owned is a welcome discovery for travellers seeking familiar flavours. It’s a no-frills setup, mostly takeaway with a few small tables. Otsuka Masjid & Japan Islamic Trust is about a 50-minute walk away. Go at lunchtime to avoid the evening rush.
