My husband and I stopped in for lunch and we both LOVED it. We got the Beyti Kabob and Lamb Shish Kabob. Service was great as well - we will definitely be back. Wish we had a place like this in Wimberley but it's worth the hour drive or at least this will be our go-to place whenever we're in town! read more

I like the Mediterranean feel with beautiful chandeliers and wooden tables that appear to be hand crafted. The service was amazing! Our server made some suggestions as it was our first time to visit. The food, oh goodness, it was delicious! The hubs got the lamb shank and for myself it was essentially a Mediterranean pizza with a white cheese and sesame crust, with a meat of the servers choice. Next door was the yummiest end to dinner! read more

This was our first time going to this location! We love the Helotes location and we were in the area so we decided to take my parents here who are from Florida but travel often. They have been to Turkey a few times and love the cuisine. Our server was Talha and he was attentive and courteous the entire time. He kept us well fed and even stayed for some conversation while my parents were talking to him about their travels. He gave us great recommendations and they were all delicious. The food was flavorful and fresh, and delightfully consistent when compared to the Helotes location. My favorite part was the freshly baked bread that was still nice and steamy when we broke it apart. You can't fake that kind of quality! The atmosphere was tranquil, with light music in the background that didn't interfere with conversations, and beautiful authentic decorations scattered throughout the space. A lot of care and attention to detail was put into getting this place together. Overall, I am delighted to know that both locations are focused on putting out a quality product. From the staff, to the food, to the decorations, everything is a delight! read more

Came to Chef's Table a couple of weeks ago after seeing the amazing reviews. The food was delicious. I had the chicken doner, and the meat was quite savory. The service was quick. Ambiance was quiet. Would recommend coming here if you are near the area. read more

Where do I begin? So I stumbled upon this place by accident. I was looking for one restaurant and found this one. So I decided to take a chance to go in. When I did, I was greeted by a very welcoming, young lady and some very interesting music. As I looked around, I noticed that there was Turkish flag and thought to myself oh yeah this is going to be a treat. I decided to go with the grill meat plate for One and man. It was amazing. All the meat was grilled to perfection. The rice was buttery and cooked very well. And the salad to top it off was super fresh. This was easily the best meal I've had in San Antonio. So good that I went back twice on the same day. I will now be frequenting this place often. Make your way to if you can. read more

Let me say while the food was tasty it was better the second day. My dish pilic Tavares (chicken tava) and also bored and a side of hummus. The hummus was yummy, kept kept most for home I prefer it warm with olive oil drissle. The Tavares was a good portion and the service was friend. I even met someone from my old homestead Adana. Check them out, but don't look for lamarchun if your a lover like myself they don't serve it here. read more

We went for an early lunch on a Saturday. Glad we did. They got busy quickly. But we never felt rushed. Food was wonderful, serving was large. Had warm fresh bread while we waited. Food was piping hot. Will definitely try it again, so many things to try. read more

Yay! The service and food are still excellent, but I'm very sorry I did not get the döner sandwich again. Papa wanted the Adana kebab, but I reminded him that he found it too spicy. It totally isn't spicy, but he has gotten very sensitive as he ages. So he order the same döner pide that I ordered. It was yummy, rich, with lots of meats. The bread itself was outstanding. But it was huge! Enough for two people easily. I still adore the mystery red pepper dip and the restaurant kindly gave Papa some cacik to cool the flavours. Best cacik ever!! This restaurant is still on my San Antonio rotation when I'm in town, but maybe not the tingles I had the first time. read more

Where do I start . . . This place is like a whole in the wall, and we all know those are the best. If you blink you'll miss it, but when you walk in, it is absolutely gorgeous. I love how rich in culture it is. They aren't just serving you food, but an experience. The decor is gorgeous and really makes you feel like you are in a little piece of Turkey, if just for a moment. The smell when you walk in immediately makes your palette get excited! And with so many options, we jumped in and ordered more than we could eat, but the kids were happy to get the leftovers. While we were looking at the menu they brought us some fresh baked bread with a delicious dipping sauce that had olive oil, lemon juice, peppers, and over 20 spices, it was amazing! We ordered the 4 cold appetizers for $13.99 (I think), we got the hummus (perfect), babaganoush (amazing), cacik (so refreshing), and muammara (superb). For hot starters we ordered the crispy filo rolls, filo dough stuffed with feta, mozzarella, parsley and dill. (insanely delicious) We also ordered some falafel, which was fried perfectly, seasoned perfectly, and paired perfectly topped with any of the cold appetizers. And if that wasn't enough, we also ordered the cheese pide, which basically looks like a pizza boat with no sauce. This was amazing, especially when you add some muammara on it! Lastly, for an entree we shared the chicken doner with rice and salad. Honestly, nothing was bad. Everything was so delicious and perfect I'm desperate to go back. The "only" thing that made me sad is that they do not serve Turkish tea, just coffee. A Turkish tea would've given this the magic tough to wash it all down. The service was great, they are attentive but not bothersome. They also told us that there is a location in Helotes and they DO serve the Turkish tea so I will be making that trip, hopefully they are just as good as the Babcock location! read more

This is good food, great service, clean place and great ambience! It's like a hidden gem on this part of Babcock Road (almost 410) with a name that doesn't really gives you a clue about the type of food they serve. First time to try Turkish food and we like it so much and plans to come back again in the future. Mediterranean food always taste fresh and deliciously healthy and Chef's Table never disappoints. Talha (at least that's the name on our check) was very good with his customer service skills and even the gentleman that received and sat us to our table was also warm. Enjoyed my chicken shish and even took home half for my lunch the next day. Serving is generous and prepared fast and it's really good. Love the bread they served with a matching red muammara (similar to a spiced-up marinara sauce) dip. Just hope they make sure to keep their bread basket looking clean and presentable since the cloth lining looks dirty as if it's been used multiple times. That took one less star from this rating. They could at least add a waxed paper layer before putting the bread on the basket or at least make sure not to use slovenly looking bread basket liner. It seems like it's replaceable, so they should see to it to monitor these basket liners for sanitation and hygiene. Their city sanitation rating seem to be not justified with these dirty looking bread basket liners. We hope next time we visit, these would look much cleaner and more professional. read more

FOOD: Everything is amazing. My favorite is the branzino. If you love fish, get the branzino. Mixed Grill is great too, available for 1 or 2 people. Beautiful plated food and every bite bursts with flavor. The bread is so good as well, extra good when it's fresh out of the oven. SERVICE: All the staff are so friendly. You are always greeted with a smile the moment you walk in. Restaurant can get pretty busy certain nights and staff are cheerful regardless of how hectic it gets. AMBIANCE: Lots of small tables and great for gathering with small groups. It's a cozy place and you can see everyone working so hard behind the kitchen. read more

Chef’s Table - Lentil Soup & creamy hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Stopped in unexpectedly after work because I skipped lunch and traffic was terrible. So I was expecting to slam down a standard gyro and get on the road. Instead I got the lamb & beef doner plate. Was brought fresh bread and a red sauce for dipping while I waited for my meal. The sauce per the waiter didn't have a specific name just "chef's special" which he makes uniquely every time, it was remarkably good. The meat was delicious, tender, flavorful and had none of the gaminess associated with lamb. Such a sleeper hit. Ambiance was independent business, strip mall type with some authentic Mediterranean touches. Will definitely be back! read more

Very average food, it was served warm and lacked flavor. Good service and a nice setting.

Food is delicious, we got the mixed grill plate so we can try everything. The Turkish kofte was probably the best meat they have. Since the store is pretty new service is being developed however it is adequate. Ambience is nice and the decor is unique. They also have a Turkish dessert store right next-door. Their desserts are very aesthetic and pictures are attached. They have the Dubai chocolate and many cakes. read more

I love the food here but the last few times I have been there, there was only one waiter and he is so rude and makes the experience uncomfortable, i have not had this ever happen to me where an employee throws a fit i ask for a replacement cause something didn't taste right. I am always kind especially since i value the restaurant...I would like to talk to the owner so I can only come when he is not there read more

I chose Chef's Table as the place for my bday lunch. Everyone in our party was so impressed with our meals. We all ordered something different and the servings are generous enough making it easy to share. The entrees were all great but the desserts are AMAZING! I highly recommend either the Kunefe or the Turkish Flan. The restaurant itself is very nice with beautiful Turkish lamps hanging from the ceiling. The food is amazing! I highly recommend. read more

Pablo wanted Lamb for birthday lunch. We headed out from King William in an Uber and it was a long way. It's a small restaurants in a strip and was pretty full with steady business around 2.30pm. We had the mixed Mixed appetizer starter (4 cold choices). Dolma, Lebna, a beetroot thing and muammarra. They were all lick the plate good and we wanted more. Lamb Shank followed and was a little small but the sauce delicious. Lamb Kebab a little undercooked for my taste as I like it charred but still tasty. Turkish coffee rounded us off. I think we spent about $80 all in. A little on the high side but heck it was what we wanted . read more

Chef's Table is fantastic. Friendly service, fresh ingredients, gorgeous decor, and delicious entrees is what you get from this establishment. They serve bread that is divine, it's fluffy and chewy on the outside with a beautiful crust that provides the perfect crunch. The dipping sauce they serve it with is so good I wanted to put it on everything. The falafel I ordered were cooked perfectly with a generous portion. Will definitely be back. Side note: parking can be a little frustrating, but I assure you its worth the effort!! read more

Took the whole family out for lunch. The ambiance was beautiful. Great decor, and service was outstanding. Even with just one waiter taking care of all the tables. Food was quick, hot and fresh, Even my picky eater children thought it was delicious. Only wish they offered their lunch specialties on the weekend. Sometimes you just want a light lunch. My husband and I shared a mix grill for two and my kids shared a doner pide. All the meats were so flavorful and so appealing. Will be back for sure. read more

While the food here is super tasty and delicious, the pricing is a bit on the higher end. The quality is amazing, but I'm not sure it is worth the price point (compared to other Mediterranean options in SA). Bread is complimentary and so fluffy and yummy. They make fresh bread to order for each table, and in combination with the olive oil and spice mixture, it is definitely a highlight. The hummus tasted freshly made and was full of flavor. I also got to try the lamb kebob, which was juicy and perfectly cooked. The falafel wrap was also good, but probably best eaten freshly made. (I had leftovers, and the wrap wasn't nearly as good after being refrigerated). If you like Mediterranean food, you need to eat here at least once! read more

Really loved this place. It is sort of a hole in the wall kind of place with excellent food and service. Our server was Payroz (I hope I got that right). It felt like I was in a different country while dining here. The first thing we try is the bread with this reddish dipping sauce. The bread was amazing. If the bread is that good, you know everything else will be as well. Next was the babaganoush. I was not crazy about it. It is made differently than I am used to. My son loved it though. I had the Kofte which is the best kofte I have ever had including when I make it myself. It came with rice, salad and a roasted tomato. The ingredients were so fresh! How do you determine the ingredients are fresh? Not sure but you can just tell. For example, the lettuce was so good. How many times can you say that? My son got the lamb shank which was beautifully presented. My dish was also beautifully presented. The lamb shank was prepared to perfection! The treat for us was the Turkish coffee which I have not had in a long time. Dessert was Künefe which was amazing. I think the prices were very fair. read more

Great place for a lunch. I had the house salad with gyro meat added, but the meat was a bit chewy and fatty for my taste. The lentil soup was a standout, it reminded me a little of Campbell bean and bacon soup. I grew up with that, so it rang my bell. The complentary bread was amazing, toasted sesame seeds really shine. The accompanying dip is a bold roasted pepper, mildly spicy, and oil based, aaaand is divine! The vibe is very Turkish, a humble cafe. Comfy padded chairs are appreciated and the tables are made with love. Service was a bit slow, but she was by herself on a Saturday. Limited Drink options, I would have liked to see an iced mint tea or other cold, icy homemade beverage. Asking for a glass of tap water and they will push for the bottled water, unfortunately. read more

Finally stopped in to this little restaurant that always looks busy and smells good even from the outside! Fresh bread and tomato & eggplant? dipping sauce is delivered first thing to our table. On a rainy day I was very happy to see lentil soup on the menu. I ordered the small which is perfect for one person and delicious- flavorful blended lentils with a bright touch of lemon. The falafel appetizer contains 4 patties and bottled water is served instead of tap. With an appetizer or soup, the entrees are the perfect portion for two people to split. All the food was served piping hot and very fresh. FYI Wraps are only served Monday-Friday, not on the weekends. The staff were all very kind and I loved the decor. There is another San Antonio location and also some in Houston. Will go back again, especially for soup. read more

The food was delicious! One of my favorite Mediterranean places. The service is decent, and the vibe with the chandeliers transports me to a little restaurant in Turkey. They bring out a bread basket with some dips to start you off. My go to is the chicken dinner/gyro, very yum and *moist*. The wraps are also great. They have a special salt encrusted lamb shoulder set that can easily feed 5 people with leftovers, just make sure to order a day in advance and arrive on an empty stomach! read more

It's good, I'd say ambiance is amazing for being small. The service is okay but good. Food is mixed. Fried calamari was very oily and a strong pass. The mixed grill plate was mixed. The salad was amazing and the shredded meat was good but the chunks of beef was very dry and not tender at all. I feel maybe I got them on a bad day. Salads and greens were next level good. Bread and dip they give for free is also very good. I'd recommend but it's not a 5/5 for me yet read more
