Ladino is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the city by far!…read more I've had the privilege to visit Ladino maybe four or five times, and every time I come back, they keep getting better. They recently received a Bib Gourmand from Michelin for good quality and value. Frankly I think they deserve a star, but that's just me. Ladino is located at The Pearl and making a reservation through Open Table is a must! They book up days in advance, so I encourage you to reserve a table ahead of time. They specialize in small tapas style plates, so if you are coming with a group you can order a couple of items to share. They also have a few excellent main dishes, but my favorite is the steak. From the smaller plates I think I've tried almost everything and there hasn't been one I didn't love. However the hummus is a must and the feta cheese is always a winner when I bring new people to Ladino. The staff here is outstanding! The level of service they offer is unbelievable. They truly make sure you have an outstanding experience during your visit, and that level of service is hard to find. Whether you are looking to try a new place or celebrate an anniversary, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Ladino.

From beautiful decor with Mediterranean vibes to the warm of the staff and the quality of the good, our experience was incredible ! We all did the "Table of Joy" option of the menu, which basically is a 3-4 course meal with dessert, all chosen by the chef. You can express if you want something specific from the menu and they will make sure to bring it to you. On Sunday they have a wonderful wine special, all wine bottles are 50% off Everything we got served was outstanding, but my personal favorite were the fire roasted corn, the grilled cabbage and the lamb ribs. Outstanding service by our server, she knew the menu very well and guided us through it like a pro. Definitely a place to return! Check the food we got and get ready to drool over your screen!

I decided finally on the gheimeh bademjan (meat and eggplant stew). The flavours were very nice, the meat was tender, and the eggplant was silky soft. The waiter made a valiant effort at our table, but my friend does not hear well, he was soft spoken, and the restaurant is full of hard surfaces and therefore noisy. I will likely go again when in San Antonio, but not with a group or friend i wanted to visit with and talk to a lot during the meal.

I did think their rice pudding dessert was delicious. I went on a Monday night and the price is 25 per adult. The restaurant is clean and nice on the inside and it seems like their workers are diligent in making the food and being attentive.

The cooked meals are all swimming in oil which Mediterranean cuisine is very well known to be on the healthier side. If you are trying to be healthy definitely skip this place otherwise you would only be left with the salad bar. If they limited the usage of oil I will frequent it more. The price of the buffet is very reasonable they also have a good variety of dishes. The service is hit or miss the last time a dish was missing I asked and the person serving wasn't too friendly about it. I went back in about 10 minutes and still the tray was empty.

I love middle eastern food! It is nice San Antonio is blessed to have a very nice selection of middle eastern restaurants right here throughout the medical community and medical dr. I had always wanted to try Kahramana, this was the perfect time. The building is built on a hillside, you will find the grill on the backside which is the second level, parking is right there in front of the entrance. I was greeted right away. The menu was so interesting, all my favorites, like Shawarma. Fun fact, for all of you El Pastor lovers out there, you can thank middle eastern food for the dish. After settling in Mexico, people tried Shawarma and ended up replacing the lamb with pork and we all ended up with El Pastor. I ordered the Gyros plate. It came with a green salad, rice, peta bread and a very generous portion of Gyros meat. As I was enjoying my late lunch, the owner came by with a complimentary glass of black tea. You know what goes great with black tea, an order of Baklava! Oh my lunch was so good. I think next time I will have one of their chicken kabobs plates. Bottom line, this is a good place to enjoy your favorites. If you have never had middle eastern food, this is a good place to give it a try.

No fountain drinks, only a very limited selection of bottled/canned drinks including Mexican coke.

I loved the meze platter since there was a sampling of 5 of their different appetizers. Everything on the platter tasted very fresh and was delicious. The ali nazik was a bit more lackluster: the side salad could have been fresher and the grilled jalapeño was only half grilled (it tasted raw); the rice was a little mushy; and the lamb was a bit over seasoned. Service was a bit slow, and you have to wave down the one server at times since she was hidden behind the front counter most of the time. While I would not go out of my way to return here, I would come back for a quick meal if I was already in the area!

We tried the babganoush appetizer, which is an eggplant dip, served with pita. I wish the pita had more of a crisp or toastiness to them. It was very bready, but still went great with the dip. The eggplant doesn't look appetizing to most, but I love its flavor and it was seasoned nicely with some acidity/brightness to it. For our entrees, we had the falafel plate and a gyro wrap. My gyro wrap was a good serving size, and I opted for no fries/side salad since we had the appetizer. It was a traditional gyro, but I wish there were lettuce and tomato in it to cut the saltiness. I ate the leftover babaganoush with it for balance. The falafel plate was great! It came with 6 large falafels that were very crisp! Everything else in the bowl complimented it nicely. The menu has a lot of other options we'd love to try! We wish we ordered a tea or chai pot to go with our meal, or tried one of their specialty coffee. Next time! The service was great when we came, but it was in the middle of the day so we were the one ones there. Regardless we felt very welcome and looking forward to coming back!
