A friend and I visited Huntingdon as itâs the half way point between where we both love and we were looking for a place to have lunch and catch up and spend a few hours chatting.We both had the pancakes with bacon although we had to ask for it to be crispy? You would think it would be standard the food was delicious and well priced, only only minor criticism was the service, there were many young girls working and it felt like they were more interested in chatting than serving or engaging with the customers. Itâs worth a visit as the food is good and unless you fancy a chain restaurant or a pub the town centre has limited options. However it feels more of a grab lunch and go place rather than a place to have a leisurely lunch and a chat.

I wanted to take my fiancée for a really nice romantic meal and had heard great things about this place. We both absolutely love Mediterranean and Turkish style food so were really excited about trying it out for Date Night.Now, we always find the best way to judge this type of restaurant is on their Hot (as in temperature) Meze Platter. It's a little bit of everything and really showcases what the place can do. Squid rings, sausage, grilled halloumi, meatballs, cheese pastries etc. all give a great indication of the chef's prowess and the quality of the other delicacies available.So firstly we ordered drinks. My fiancée ordered an orange juice and was given an orange squash (for £2.00!). I took it back for exchange and was told this WAS orange juice and that's all they had. So she settled for a glass of tap water. The waiter insisted that their orange juice came from a carton and said he'd bring it over to prove it - strangely that didn't happen.Next came the Meze for two. What can I say. Grim. Just grim. We were so hungry but just struggled. We sampled most of the various deep fried shapes of food but all just tasted of old cooking oil and salt. We were so disappointed. I didn't even recognise some of the things on the plate and I've had Mezes from all over the world. No olives, no houmous, no bread - the waiter did say he'd bring us some bread (which would have been welcome) but then a party of six came into the restaurant and we were forgotten.Once again, we both really wanted to like this place and support a local business - I've been following them on FB and the food always looks amazing, so I can only assume we caught them on a bad day when, perhaps, the oil needed changing in the deep fat fryer?So we just paid the bill and left. That was £22.85 and 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back.As a footnote: Most of the bars and restaurants in Huntingdon have really upped their game to compete with the new Wetherspoons. Best of luck Hill Ephesus Restaurant!

And very pleased by my choice - After a long hot motorcycle ride I was in need of a hearty meal, I would have gone for an Indian meal but the smells of this restaurant hooked me. A bustling place - excellent menu choices at a good price. Very good bottled Turkish beer washed my meal down. Service was quick and efficient and the food faultless. Sort of place if I'd have had company would have been great to spend a little longer.

We visited to celebrate our anniversary, having been told the food is amazing. It is. However on arrival you have to fight your way through some hanging chains and once in, itâs too brightly lit, no candlelight, and the decor is so bland you could be anywhere, nothing Italian or cosy.It wouldnât take much to make it feel less clinical and such a waste as your food and your staff are a total credit to you!Thank you for sharing your experience.The chains on the entrance are put up during the summer only to help prevent flies and candles were removed due to many menuâs being melted. We appreciate all our customer feedback and always take everything on board as we progress and develop,Kind regards Andrew Di Rita
