Cantina la Efendi is a cheerful, great-value Turkish canteen right on Târgu Mureș's beautiful central square, Piața Trandafirilor. It is a local go-to for a quick, tasty, well-priced feed — the sort of casual, order-at-the-counter spot that pulls in students, workers and anyone after a generous plate without spending much.
The menu leans Turkish and Middle Eastern — kebabs, shawarma and grills, rice and salads, with plenty for a hungry appetite — served fast and in hearty portions. Its unbeatable location on the rose-lined main square makes it a handy, satisfying refuel between sights in the heart of the old town.
Local tip: It is cheap and quick, ideal for a casual lunch — grab a table and watch the square go by. Portions are big, so you may not need starters.
