    Black Sea Doner Sandwich doner = what I called gyro in my review.
    Lindsay F.

    Immediately, trying to decide whether I should give four or five stars, but I cannot think of something I don't like about this place! I have been going here since moving back to Minnesota after undergraduate in 2008. I have never had a bad sandwich here. Or bad food in general. The food is plentiful and the fries are actually really really good. They remind me of McDonald's fries. I always get number 15, the lamb and beef gyro with french fries. It comes with tomatoes and onions, and then I ask for extra tzatziki sauce ifI'm getting it to go, otherwise they give you a bottle if you're eating in. I've also had the platters, the falafel and some of my friends have had the chicken platter. All of it was delicious. Wonderful flavors, hot and plentiful, and the meat is so tender with perfect spices. Even the pita bread is nice warm, and it taste fresh. It's not too thick to overwhelm the taste of the meat and it's not too thin so you can still eat it like a pocket sandwich. Honestly, one of the things that I love the most about this restaurant is that it is so consistent with the dishes that it makes. 15 years later, and the meat taste the same as back into the day. The picture I have is for the newer location off of Highway 61 in White Bear. Set me back $9.50. I just had this yesterday, and now that I'm writing the review, I want to eat it again, even though I just finished brunch! And am full!

    #30 combo - It was really good as you can see

    Love going to this place for lunch. Great service; even better food. I had #30. Love how they cook it up so you get the smells coming off the grill. Portions are large for price paid. Very reasonable lunch/dinner. I should have taken a pic before I ate, but as you can see it was really good.

    No frills, but amazing gyros! Choice of rice or French fries, both were equally as good!

    Located close to Hamline University on Snelling in St.Paul, Black Sea Restaurant, is well known in the area and been around for many year. The owners appear to no longer be at this location any more since they opened another location in White Bear. It's a small restaurant and parking can be tricky but we found something right out front. It wasn't busy on a Saturday afternoon, thankfully. We walked in and the floor was super sticky. I assumed, maybe, they used some kind of cleaner that did it since the floor actually looked clean. We ordered the Sultan Combo for/3 people which had chicken & beef kebabs, doners w/grilled green peppers, onions, & tomatoes it came with rice with no option to do half rice and half bread. So we ordered fries and bread extra. We also didn't realize we had to order hummus or baba ganoush on the side which we didn't do. They did offer a tzatziki sauce which we had to request since it wasn't serviced with the meal. Over all it was just okay and won't go to this location again. We've come years ago and it was amazing. Perhaps it's the owner's love that made the food amazing but without them here it was very different. We do want to give it another chance at the White Bear location since we like Mediterranean food and we have never been to that location.

    I went to Black Sea Restaurant on a Monday evening with 3 other people. To my knowledge there is no parking lot for this restaurant but luckily there was street parking available! The restaurant is not overly large and if you want to enjoy this food with a big group I recommend doing take out. I ordered the beef and lamb gyro with a side of rice. Two of the other people in my group ordered the same thing with a side of fries and the last person ordered a plate of gyro meat with salad, fries, and pita bread. I am a lover of Mediterranean food and gyros and always opt to order them. This particular gyro was nice and light and I enjoyed the fact that it was not messy, as most gyros can be. I am someone who likes a lot of sauces and flavors on my gyro and this did not have that. There was tzatziki sauce on the table but I needed more! Overall, my experience was good. The employees were nice, I received my food quickly, and the restaurant was clean. However, I felt cramped where we sat and was craving flavor after finishing my meal.

    We enjoyed the platter and hummus starter. The place was newly renovated, so it felt clean and nice.

    it is a very cozy maybe 24 people table + bar seating capacity place. However in that small place…read morethese guys are creating an amazing experience from food to service... Everyone is very attentive and on top of everything. We tried fried olives, nothing special as expected fried battered olives, but it was perfectly cooked to crisp and the olives were tangy and not cooked as I like! Flatbread and burrata was definitely the highlight of the appetizers for me Celery root salad was tasty, crisp and great vinegar on it. Lingunie was another impressive dish, the sauce was fresh and full of flavor pasta was cooked perfectly, DELICIOUS! Duck breast was definitely smaller than I expected as we were informed it was a full breast but it was cooked medium rare, the sauce was very complimentary to the duck. finally the desert, PANNA COTTA!!!! DO NOT MISS THAT AMAZING DESERT. eat it there, it doesn't survive the to go containers but it is one of the best I ever had!

    Located on Grand Ave parking can be a bit of a challenge but there is a ramp a block away…read more Hyacinth is a small cozy restaurant with patio, bar and dining room seating. Reservation are encouraged. The menu is small but very flavorful with a craft cocktail and wine selection. We shared the flat bread and salad which offered a nice start and then had the lamb pasta and my wife the chicken cacciatore. Flavors were good but there is a heavy use of mint in my opinion. Great place for a date night.
