Ephesus Mediterranean Grill - Katy Texas


Every once in awhile I run across something that is a true gem. The name Ephesus was unfamiliar to me. This is apparently the name of a famous temple in Turkey. Ephesus is an Turkish Greek cuisine restaurant. Located in a shopping strip in Katy. This location has changed repeatedly over the last few years. The changes now that strikes me are the brightly painted orange walls. Sitting down to eat the owners sit down with me & tell me here the spices are different can run hot & spicy. The really spicy luckily for me id usually served on the side. The owners here used to own the famous Empire Turkish Grill on Memorial Dr in Houston. My meal was delicious and the filet mignon literally melted in my mouth. It wasn't even necessary to chew the delicate meat. What still lingers with me is the Yaprak Sarma - delicate balance of grape leaves stuffed with rice, pine nuts, raisins, peppers, parsley and onion. There is a sweetness that lingers on my tongue after my meal that makes me want to go back to this restaurant again. 510 S. Mason Rd # B Katy Texas 77450 (281) 391-4777
