Assistant Restaurant Manager

Guided by our values of Humility, Authenticity, and Generosity, we create places where people feel seen, cared for, and part of something genuine. The same warmth we share with our guests is the warmth that exists within our teams.

Efendy Group is an internationally recognised hospitality group founded in Sydney in 2007. Spanning Sydney and Istanbul , our venues include Anason , Maydanoz , Baharat , Tombik , and Efendy Istanbul — home to a Michelin Bib Gourmand and multiple Chef Hat awards.

Each venue reflects a unique expression of hospitality and the joy of connection; celebrating culture through food, people, and shared experience.

About Anason

Perched on the Barangaroo waterfront, Anason is a modern Turkish meyhane — lively, generous, and full of heart. Opened in 2016, Anason brings the spirit of Istanbul’s Bosphorus to Sydney where the guest experience sits at the centre of everything we do.

Our menu celebrates the flavours of the Meyhanes in Bosphorus through seasonal and local produce, designed for sharing and connection.

Our team is dynamic, solutions-focused, and adaptable — always striving to deliver a seamless experience through teamwork, clear communication, and genuine warmth.
