Seray

Dear Rabih,We had an exquisite time at your new restaurant! The food was out of this world, and as a Lebanese person, I can confidently say I know what I'm talking about. We had a party of 15, and the service was truly five-star--lightning-fast and attentive to every detail. Everything exceeded our expectations.The decor is both relaxing and upbeat, giving us the feeling of being right in the heart of the city.Thank you so much, Robih , and best of luck!Sincerely,Dr. Claude Karam

I'll start with the positives- great food, in particular the watermelon with halloumi, pears and dates was delicious. Had 6 appetizers for 2 ppl and we were stuffed. The cocktails were top notch. Water glasses always full. Dining room was nicely decorated and noise levels weren't bad for a full house. The not so good - seated at 6:30, fed and check on the table by 7:04. They were really hustling to turn the tables to the point it was offensive. We were asked about dessert while we were still eating. Dishes were taken while we were still eating from them. Once we announced we weren't having dessert they came after us like vultures even though we were still finishing one of our dishes. This is not an inexpensive place and for a party of two I think it's fair to be able to stay for an hour. I'll give this place another try but if management is reading this, SLOW DOWN. Also, every time the door opens, an arctic blast enters the dining room. I'll try back when it's warmer.

There were 4 of us and we tried 8 appetizers, a lamb shank entree, 2 bottles of wine and 2 deserts. The bill came about $200 per couple including 20%+ tip. The food was awesome, albeit a bit expensive for the neighborhood. The servers were pleasant but a little rushed due to short staffed. We didn't get our hot bread until we were almost done with our appetizers. The lamb shank was so delicious! The owner Rabi came by at the end of the meal and we drilled him about the secret of the lamb shank. He said it was in the marinade. I hope this new restaurant survives because food is very enjoyable but too pricy for a weekly meal there. We do like to come back for special occasions!

Service: super attentive servers and staff. Our waitress was prompt and came to check on us a few times. Food: I didn't realize there wasn't a brunch menu. Did order a beef kabob entree and it was good, but a bit overcooked as I ordered medium rare. Only a few cubes were pink. I realized it's hard to get the right temperature when the beef is cubed and not served as a steak. I was surprised to be charged $2 or hot sauce. Usually when I've asked for extra condiments, it's complimentary. My friend got the lamb shank and she loved it. I really wanted to have some dessert but was stuffed with my entree. Went home and took a nice long nap :) Ambience: beautiful decor. It got kind of loud when people arrived around 1 for lunch but that's a good sign that people are loving the food and inviting their friends and family.

Seray!! If I understand the name correctly, it means the palace or the big house!I really have mixed feelings! Nothing went bad at all! But nothing was that impressive at all that I'm dying to go there again for quickly but I'd still go again! Do you know what I mean? Nice menu, Lebanese food , huge appetizer menu and all sounds delicious and lovely!The ambiance is nice and simple, it's cozy and kinda loud but I love the sound of happy people dining on different tables! The bar looks nice too and it's totally an amazing addition to Vienna!My mixed grill was delicious but I finished quickly and I'm serious when I say I don't know if the portion wasn't big enough or I was super hungry and it was very delicious or a combination of both! lol but you have the photos to decide!I think that there are two routes to go! You can order a lot of the appetizers and share one main dish! Or just get a main dish for each person and one or two appetizers!If you have a birthday the whole staff will sing for you! It's fun! Happened to someone at the table next to me!The staff was very nice and friendly! Everything was nice and clean! Bathrooms were clean too!Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;)

We ended up going here for lunch and had a nice time! The atmosphere/vibes are amazing. They had cute Christmas decorations out front and around the interior which was so fun and holiday. I really enjoyed how the restaurant felt cozy and intimate (even for lunch!). We were hungry and wanted some Mediterranean cuisine so we ended up going to Seray.We shared a bunch of plates. The baked mozzarella was pretty tasty, but it didn't come with any pita or bread so... what? Are we supposed to eat it with a spoon as is? I asked our waiters for something and I guess they have complimentary pita. I wish they brought it out with the cheese because by the time we had it, the cheese was not as hot and melty. The chicken sliders were good, nothing too crazy or special. And the steak kebab was delicious! I loved the rice with it too. And I ended up making my own little steak kebab baked cheese pita with all the toppings--my own little sandwich. That was tasty!Again, service was fine! I had to ask twice for Diet Coke, but honestly it wasn't that deep. I'm not pressed about it! Overall, 4/5

Had an amazing time here! It is a bit dark and loud (warning). Our server was very lively, kind, and funny! We cracked a lot of jokes, and he even gave us complimentary desserts for someone's birthday. My cousin asked for a bartender's choice of cocktail, and the server poured it out from the shaker at our table with a fancy show! It was some kind of delicious mojito.We got complimentary warm pita bread with dip. Very delicious starter. We also got Seray's Hummus (came with more pita), Grilled Calamari, Halloumi, Mixed Grill (chicken taouk, kafta, beef kebab with rice and toum (garlic whip)), Lamp Chops (came with green beans, fingerling potatoes, and toum). All were sooo flavorful and yummy, but my favorites were the calamari, mixed grill, and lamb chop. All the meats were cooked perfectly tender!

Beautiful Lebanese restaurant with full bar, nice staff, fancy plating, handsome waiter, would come back

Vienna has seen the arrival of several new restaurants in the last few months, and Seray is definitely a hit. Conveniently located in a shopping plaza on Maple Ave, parking is plentiful. From the outside, one would not guess that you're about to enter a beautifully decorated modern restaurant that is both sleek and comfortable. The ambient noise level is a bit on the loud side making it a lively dining experience if you're okay talking a little louder than usual.The menu offers plenty of options. The hot appetizers is a whole page of interesting dishes, many of which I had never tried before. The chicken liver was the star of the night, with an interesting flavor and dippable with the warm pita bread.Food came out fast. Everything was fresh and tasty. A couple of dishes were heavy on the lemon so be sure to taste before squeezing more on. Everything we tried was very good to excellent. A slight snafu, we ordered lamb medium rare but it came well done. The lamb was tender so we didn't mind or bother to correct. The bread pudding dessert was interesting, not what we know as bread pudding but very good.Service was excellent. From host to server everyone was friendly, polite, and attentive.Price is on the high side. Appetizers are around $9-22, entrees are about $26-45, and dessert around $12. Overall, Seray offered a lovely evening and brought back some excitement to eating out again. We will be back to try more of the appetizers.

Date night? At this restaurant, it feels just like that.Having never tried Lebanese food before, I decided to give Seray and try and WOW they did not disappoint. The ambiance inside the restaurant reminds me of the bar scene in the movie Passengers (2016) and the service was immaculate. Our waitress was lovely and super attentive. We ordered the chicken shawarma sliders, calamari, and the mixed grill kabob as our main/appetizers. They were all extremely tasty, but the standout was the sliders with garlic sauce on the side. The calamari was a little salty for our liking but still very fresh and worth the try!Out of all the meats in the mixed kabob grill, our consensus was the steak was the best one (will definitely order that again!).We couldn't leave without trying the dessert where we ordered the chocolate lava cake (really good and standard), and the ashta (wasn't our favorite but definitely try it if you're feeling adventurous!) I will 100% be back to try more of the menu but more importantly come back for the steak kabob and chicken shawarma sliders.
