Selda Mediterranean

What a wonderful restaurant and amazing staff. You have the option to eat inside, or you can dine on their patio. The food is amazing and the portion sizes are huge. I suggest when you order your entree, get a few for the table and share with the group. Hummus- simple dip served with fresh warm breadStuffed dates- A-Maze-ing....even though this is a appetizer and it's stuffed with goat cheese, pastrami, spinach and walnuts. You literally can have this for dessert because of it's sweetness Chicken shish- tender marinated chicken served with rice, and a wonderful fresh bean salad Baklava- delicious

The food at Seldas is absolutely wonderful! Ambiance is nice too. I go there fairly frequently especially when it was called Peras. However, I don't recommend it for a holiday like Valentine's Day when the weather turns bad. We were told when we walked in for our very early dinner reservation that we had the table for an hour and half. The restaurant was pleasantly busy but still lots of empty tables. Service was a bit manic. We felt rushed as soon as we sat down. I spoke up about the time limit and apparently they weren't able to have as many tables because of the rain. The patio looked fully enclosed so I wasn't clear what the issue was with decreased number of tables.The appetizer and entrees were superb. We weren't offered a second glass of wine, coffee or dessert before check was given to us after 50 minutes. I somewhat snidely remarked we 40 minutes left. Also, my dinner companion finished his dinner before me and they whisked away his plate quickly. Isn't standard for good service to wait until both people finish before removing both peoples' plates at the same time? Or has that gone out of fashion?I couldn't believe we weren't offered coffee or dessert. When I mentioned it the waiter was annoyed and recited off what they had. I declined as my hackles were rising by this point.I used to work in fine dining restaurants. I appreciate the pressure of working holidays and for having to switch things around last minute when something goes wrong. However, the name of the game is is hospitality which we did not feel tonight.I am loyal to Seldas. The wait staff is normally a lot of fun and I like the guy that waited on us. That said, I probably won't go back on a holiday anytime soon.I rated Seldas at only 3 stars tonight because of the service. Food is superb.

A hidden gem of Mediterranean flavors!!The exterior looks tiny & decorated with coziness... but wait till you go inside, it's a WHOA this place is huge the interior accommodates sitting for a large crowd!!! You definitely need reservations though ;) and a bring your appetite too! For anyone who's been to the Mediterranean islands...then you'll feel like a flash back of great cuisine, cool atmosphere and super great service! Turkish/Greek blend of YUM!!Katrina & Jason BFrisco, Tx

Met a friend on a Sunday afternoon at this Turkish eatery and had a tasty meal. The weather was great so we opted to dine on the patio. The patio is well-designed and inviting but I was unfortunately seated in the corner facing the neighboring 7-11 and its small homeless encampment that was set up along the building. For those who are bothered by that be mindful of seating. The view aside, the meal was fantastic. We started with grape leaf-wrapped salmon as well as the spicy ezme. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the ezme was addicting. I ate it with the table bread/naan, as well as my entree. Just phenomenal. We each ordered the lamb shish as our entree and subbed rice for the Turkish bread. Everything was flavorful and herbaceous.Service was okay, friendly though our server did slip away to hit a hookah that was just a couple table lengths from us lol Overall great meal, and I'd come back here again but probably dine inside.

I debated writing this review because I generally am pretty understanding and I know, having worked in restaurants for many years, and my family owning and operating restaurants, the impact a bad review can have overall. However, after a few days of thinking on it, I felt compelled to leave a note for the management of this restaurant. Two of my best friends and I came in on a busy Monday night. We waited to be sat for our reserved table (which is fine I don't mind waiting), but as we were waiting, a two top came in, clearly 'VIPS', clearly walk-ins, and was sat immediately at a 4 person table that had been empty since we arrived; then another couple came and was sat for a reservation time after us. Again, busy night, okay, fine. We get to the patio and it is packed. And windy.During the course of our dinner, which was going okay, but at a certain point a couple comes and sits on the patio and lights up two cigarettes while their SUPER loud dog sat and yelped in one of the chairs. You also can't help but be distracted by their huge propane heaters. The patio is warped, so they shake and are very unsturdy. The entire time other tables were asking the staff to shift them around and at one point we have about 4 of them within a foot of our table in the center of the patio. My friends and I were having a serious conversation and all of a sudden, one of the heaters quickly fell HARD onto my friend's back and her head. The fact that nothing caught fire on our table was an absolute miracle, but it definitely caused a scene and we had other guests asking if we were okay and checking on my friend, who kept insisting she was okay, but was, as we all were, in shock - however the pain hit her throughout the next few days. Once the heater was lifted off the table, not ONE person on the staff or the manager came to apologize or offer to move our table to another spot. What if it had been a baby, or an elderly person? SHAME ON management for this behavior, we expect a response!!

Cozy, charming spot for Turkish staplesLoved everything we tried here. It was all so fresh and well done. It also happened to be a night with live entertainment and we were treated to live music by a local singer which made the evening even more special. Hummus-- smooth, creamy. I practically licked this plate clean.Ezme-- it was my first time trying this and I loved it. It's a condiment/dip made of roasted tomatoes, peppers, onion, spices and herbs. I couldn't get enough of this and loved dunking my flatbread in it too. Combo meat platter-- each meat delivered on flavor. Loved the char from the kebabs. The meat patties were also extremely juicy. I devoured all the roasted shishito and tomatoes it came with too. Lahmacun-- Turkish flatbread with minced meat, vegetables and herbs. We wrapped raw onions and cilantro with the flatbread and rolled it up in the proper way. Kunefe-- finally got to check this off my to-try list too!! The cheese was super melty and shrouded in syrup soaked shredded wheat. It was a delightful combination of texture and flavors. Baklava-- the perfect sweet treat to end the night. Layers of flaky filo, walnuts and syrup!!

Came here for a friend's going away party and it was a hit. Nice ambiance and the food was great. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and main plates to share and it was enough food. We had a great time. Service was good. We had a large party and they were very accommodating.

This was my second visit here. I made reservations by ending them from their website for 5 pm on Thursday night and we were sat right down. The servers were quick to bring our food and friendly but when we were done we were sitting for at least 5 min looking around trying to make eye contact with someone. They weren't busy and there were plenty of folks around. I prefer the mayors house in bishop arts but this place is great too if you're on the north side of town. Highly recommend. I have gotten the lamb chops every time and they are so good! (Here and the mayors house) the beef shish was new to me. I didn't love it but my son said it was really good. The halloumi was good. I had it at the mayors house and thought it would be the same but it wasn't. Both were delish. The salmon in grape leaves was just ok. Glad to try it but wouldn't order again. The kunefe for dessert was so yummy! The small is definitely big enough for 3-4 people to share, esp after a big meal. Make sure you order it early or be prepared to wait a bit for it to be prepared.

Authentic and delicious Turkish food. Friendly service. You are made to feel welcome. The Lamb Shish, bean salad, beet salad, Ali Nazik, and Apple Baklava are all exceptional and ALL highly recommended.

My first time to this place and definitely not my last. Very authentic and delicious food. Come and ask for Volkon he was a great server, very kind and attentive.
