    Had high hopes but this place falls short. Dont order through seamless like I did. They don't use them anymore and when you get there they don't even know you ordered and have to wait while they make it. Food didn't have much flavor to me. For the price I'd expect my socks to be knocked off. Unfortunately not worth it to me. At least I can say I tried it. Can you?

    Our server, Talha, was fantastic and took the time to walk us through the menu and break down the options, which we really appreciated. The complimentary homemade bread and dipping sauce were amazing to start. We tried the Chicken Döner Pide (their specialty pizza). A must-try! & the chicken Tava (stew) was so incredibly flavorful. I took leftovers of the chicken Tava home and was literally dreaming about it later... it was that good. This is definitely my new go-to spot in town!

    We really enjoyed our dinner here. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with beautiful Turkish lamps and a relaxed, friendly vibe. The staff were so kind and attentive, making the experience even better. I ordered the veggie casserole, which was a perfect vegan option -- hearty, flavorful, and full of fresh vegetables. My husband had the mixed grill for one along with the baba ghanoush, and everything was cooked perfectly with great smoky flavor. The warm bread that comes to the table is incredible and pairs beautifully with the dips. Reservations are definitely a good idea during peak hours (like Friday night) because it fills up quickly. Overall, delicious food, great service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back!

    I was so excited to try this restaurant since they have so many great reviews anddddddd overall it was a good experience. I visited on a Saturday evening and we were able to be seated quickly. The restaurant was full, a good sign of the quality of the food. We enjoyed the complimentary bread and dipping sauce. The bread was freshly baked and pillowy soft on the inside. The dipping sauce had a slight spice to it, which paired well with the bread. My parents ordered the baba ghanoush, which my mom really enjoyed! As for our food, it was served hot and presented well. I found the chicken skewers to have a great flavor to them and the rice was delicious as well. The side salad had a light dressing on top, which was perfect considering the bold flavors of the main dish. My dad and grandpa ordered a mixed plate with lamb and beef. They enjoyed the food, but found no difference or way to differentiate between the sliced lamb/beef on their platters. My mom ordered the dumplings and she said they were quite tasty! Overall the food was good and the service was quick. I would say the interior is in need of a facelift and a deep clean, as our booth and chairs were quite stained and worn thin. Overall, they have great food, but I will most likely be ordering for pick up to eat at home for all future orders from Chefs Table.

    Well, what a delightful treat! San Antonio finally has an authentic Mediterranean restaurant that's good! The food was super fresh and came out piping hot. Every dish was packed with flavor including my friend's dish, chicken tava. I really enjoyed their Babaganoush with the deliciously hot bread that came with it. So yummy it has my mouth watering as I type this. Service was excellent. Attentive and prompt. Highly recommend checking this place out.

    Nice clean cozy restaurant. With limited seating, and delicious clean food. They are able to accommodate larger parties as well. When we arrived a large family was seated and this did not cause a delay in our order. This was my first time trying Turkish food, the combination of flavors were paired so well together. The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive. My only disappointment was canned and bottled drinks.

    The food is decent but not mind-blowing like many people have described. I'll definitely be back, though. The service is great, and they are very friendly. It's a solid choice for Mediterranean food.

    My family came here while visiting San Antonio based on the reviews, but overall we left dissapointed. The mixed dip appetizer was okay, though my wife and her parents who are from Iraq weren't too impressed with the hummus, and the babaghanouj was very yogerty instead of mainly eggplant which was the first time I ever had it like that & wished it was how it's typically served. The plate was also very small for being $15. For the entree we got 2 mixed grills for 2 and this was the biggest area of dissapointment. When the entree is $56 each you expect the meats to all be cooked-to-order and skewers of various types of meat; atleast anywhere we've ever ordered for that price. Instead, the primary bulk of meat is the chicken and gyro meat cut from the rotisserie, which was barely warm and quite dry. There were 2 lamb koftas that were delicious and clearly cooked very well, but the beef chunks were the worst of them all; super charred and incredibly chewy... I mean it when I say they were the most overcooked chunks of beef I've had in a lonng time if ever. Then the bill... apparently there's an auto-grat that's applied even though we were a table of 4, and ontop of THAT there's another like $7 added if you're not paying cash. In the end all of this almost came to $180... this was simply way too much for the quality of food and service.

    Food was really good at Chef's Table, everything tasted fresh and well made. Service was solid and the vibe was nice without feeling too fancy. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

    Chicken Doner Wrap

    Went on a weekday for lunch. Received quick service and the waiter answered all our questions. There's seating inside and a couple cafe tables outside. The food was very fresh and delicious. The hummus did not taste store bought. I will definitely be back. Prices are about 20+ per entree but everyone left feeling full.

    Wow, how have we not be here before. You will have a journey to Turkey with the decor, smells,and foods. The service was excellent!! It was I think the owner or manager servicing all the tables and he was on top of things. The ice tea was made to perfection and the food was flavorful. We had the appetizer sampler with 4 choices which allowed us to try the different it's such as BabaGanesh, hummus, dolmas and a red spread (I don't recall the name). The plate for two was a huge plate with various meats, rice and salad. This meal is a great option to try a little of everything. We can't wait until we return.

    Amazing bread and chef's sauce

    The atmosphere is great and the food is even better! We had the mixed grill for one and the lamb and beef doner. Both excellent choices.

    Turkish coffee
    Brittany W.

    Every single thing looked and smelled delicious, so I couldn't decide on what to eat and just went for the mixed plate for one... it was definitely enough for dinner with leftovers for lunch the next day, though!! The coffee was delicious! They start you off with a bread basket that has a delicious dipping sauce. Don't sleep on it! Soooo good! I tried the yogurt drink and quite honestly, it tastes like the liquid strained out of the cottage cheese with a bit of salt added to it. Take that as you will. I cannot wait to go back and try some more of the delicious options! The place is very cozy and comfortable on the inside. It is perfect for intimate group gatherings, solo dinners, or dates.

    My husband made our dinner reservation six weeks ago, for a post-graduation family celebration, and…read morehe chose perfectly! Our twelve guests ranged in age from 14-79 years, and everyone had a wonderful experience. We began with waters for the table, soft drinks, and cocktails/mocktails (Man Walks into a Bar, Amba No. 5, Don Alberto, Green Shug Collins). Due to our large party, we had booked a chef's tasting experience, which was spectacular. The appetizers were plentiful, flavorful, and unique. Our server, Anissa, did a wonderful job of explaining each dish-- its components, highlights, even suggesting that after finishing the beef dumplings, we stir the oil and yogurt together for an amazing pita dipping sauce. Our meal included four meats-- actually five, considering an off menu chef's creation for our pescatarian guest. It was such an immersive experience, I never took out my phone to capture photos of the food (or our group, sadly). Three desserts topped off the evening. When (not if) we return, we'll certainly request Anissa again. She made the evening a complete delight, even bringing out celebratory candles for our honored guests.

    Bib Gourmand? Went after reading all the rave reviews,…read moreespecially about the Table of Joy tasting menu. All the reviews highlight the creativity, the fresh take on Mediterranean cuisine. So we went for the $65 pp Table of Joy. Everything was tasty, the pita bread served blazing hot is a stand out. Our first course options were hummus and Hungarian feta with Aleppo pepper. Both very tasty but not terribly creative choices I thought. Then a bean salad arrived. Again tasted very nice, a nice cold bean salad. Saffron chicken skewer and a pork souvlaki skewer. Pork was quite tough, although a very nice char. Chicken was tender and the orzo pasta was very interesting. Dessert was chocolate pudding with some edible flowers, dill, sesame seed and small cookies crumbles on top. Yes, it all tasted very good. Service attentive. Nice ambiance. However I was expecting more for our $200 ( 2 Table of Joy, 2 beers and a Turkish coffee). Not more food, the portions were not an issue, but something more creative. Something that would change my impression of Mediterranean cuisine. I can get hummus, feta & skewers at any number of much more reasonably priced Mediterranean restaurants. Even taking into account 'The Pearl mark up', in the end I can't say I'm impressed. Disappointed we spent that much money. Can't recommend this to friends or family.

We left quite stuffed and extremely satisfied. It was a nice day so we ate outside but the interior was very pleasant and was filled with diners even at 2 pm. Everything here is fresh, perfectly seasoned, healthy and oh-so-tastey. This place was recommended to me by a fellow foodie and Yelper, and we're very grateful for the recommendation. This was the perfect birthday lunch for me.

    I came to this new spot (3 months open) on Sunday to check out the new kids, and I am so glad I…read moredid. Upon entry, my guest and I were greeted promptly and invited to sit anywhere we liked. My guest and I immediately noticed the traditional Turkish aromatics that filled the establishment. The waitress who tended to our table was engaging and explained the menu in depth as well as vouched for the food's authenticity. As my guest and I wanted to try multiple menu items, we elected to order the dishes that offered an array of food. Appetizer: Cold Platter This dish included hummus, babaganoush, dolma, ezme, and piyaz. The plater was properly "stacked" with the flavors of the app. going from "punchy" to mild. The piyaz was a perfectly balanced white bean salad packed with Mediterranean flavors. This combination of white beans, tomatoes, onions, and parsley was simple and yet deliciously satisfying! The dolma on this dish was a perfect combination of filling vegetables, grape seeds, Rumex, hornbeam, and quince leaves, with a kick of lemon. The babaganoush was light and refreshing. The simple combination of roasted eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt is something that is not to be missed if you are looking for a vitamin packed dip. The Ezme "mashed" was made mainly with tomatoes, cucumber, and olive oil and packed a little punch, which most likely was accredited to the peppers. Main: Hot Mixed Platter This dish included meatballs, chicken, beef, and lamb (doner) atop veggies and rice. All the meats on the plate were seasoned to perfection and tender. My guest and I ate the meats so quickly that I am not able to appropriately describe the flavors other than with the a word, "delectable". Dessert: Dessert Platter This platter had a sampling of Tiramisu, čupavci, KÜnefe, and Baklava. Although the čupavci and KÜnefe looked great, I couldn't eat them as they both are made with coconuts (to which I am allergic). I actually took a bite of the KÜnefe before I realized that it had coconut shavings in it. With this dessert, the cheese is arranged between two layers of Kadayıf (shredded phyllo), cooked until golden, and soaked in a sweet syrup. The čupavci (sponge cake) was soaked in chocolate sauce, then dipped in unsweetened, shredded coconut. Fun fact: Čupavci means "furry" because of the fuzzy surface the coconut provides, which I learned when I visited Turkey many years ago. Java Folks who read my reviews know that I am a java junkie. So, of course, I requested the Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is prepared with more water than its Italian counterparts and is meant to be sipped rather than drunk quickly like a shot. There is also a tradition of reading the grinds at the bottom of the cup to tell fortunes, known as tasseography. Turkish coffee cups are small, similar to the size of an espresso cup, but with a rich history of their own. This coffee is prepared traditionally and provided a much needed pick me up. This family restaurant has authentic quality food and the highest level of service. If in the area, this locally owned spot is worth a try. Total for the meal before tip $89.00 #supportlocal

From…read morethe moment you walk in, the space does something to you -- warm lighting, tufted banquettes, burgundy velvet chairs with gold legs, and a ceiling panel with intricate geometric lattice work straight out of a Moroccan riad. It doesn't feel like a strip mall restaurant. It feels intentional. The pastry case alone deserves its own review. Piped butter cookies, rose-dotted squares dusted with cardamom, delicate filled rolls -- it's the kind of display that makes you order dessert before you've even sat down. And then the food. The chicken shawarma bowl is not playing around -- seasoned chicken, kalamata olives, crumbled feta, creamy garlic sauce over a bed of greens, finished with cracked pepper. Every bite is layered and bold. The kind of meal that makes you pause mid-fork and just appreciate it. What sets Tripoli's apart isn't just the food or the ambiance. It's that the whole experience feels curated. Like someone who actually loves this culture built this place and meant every single detail. San Antonio has been sleeping on this gem. Wake up!!

The ambiance was great, everything from the decorative rugs, Arab writing on the wall, tagine pottery and brass crafts were perfectly displayed. The tabbouleh salad was very tasty, it had the right amount of ingredients making it pretty as well as colorful placed in the neat brass metal bowl. Now with the things that require immediate remedial attention: 1. The burger was overrated, overcooked and dry. 2. The chick pea salad lacked chick peas, dressing, onions and feta cheese. 3. The lamb Kofta plate was prepared right however, it was not enough meat for the price and the cream sauce tasted like straight butter with a hint of garlic. The pita bread was lukewarm and looked like it had been unwrapped, quartered and thrown in a microwave for 30 seconds prior to serving it. 4. Drinks Ordered: The Cafe' Arabia was very tasty BUT, I didn't get it until we were almost done with our meal. We ordered drinks when we were first seated so that was a big red flag. My wife also ordered the Moroccan mint teapot and she didn't get it until after I got my coffee. I told the barista/waiter to cancel it when I got my coffee but he said it was also ready for us and could put it in a to-go cup for her. That kind of defeated the whole experience of drinking tea while waiting for our meal. 5. The service was really slow. Took over 15 minutes to get our (tap) waters and 20 minutes for our food when we were the only ones in the restaurant until we had placed our order. 6. The waitress needs some serious people skills and bussing training to know how to serve food and drinks. She touched the tops of the glasses her fingers. She didn't greet us and practically dropped the plates on the table when she brought them out. To add insult to injury, she put the handheld pay device on the table without asking us if we wanted or needed anything else. My kids wanted to try out some desserts, so luckily for us, the nearby HEB has plenty to offer. I had high hopes for this place because of what the owner posted on Instagram and it is so close to our neighborhood. Guess we will have to continue driving further into the city to other Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern restaurants that have better food and service.
