Superb, Çok güzel balık ve rakı! Ne ağ, ne olta, balik rakiyla yakalanir! The best and perfect place this side of the Agean to get exceptionally well prepared Turkish food! This establishment is easy to find with plenty of parking. We had reservations since it was for my son's birthday. The ambiance is perfect for an intimate dinner, and the only thing missing was the sounds of the Agean lapping up against the pier! The staff treat you as well as any true Turkish restaurant does to include table side de-boning of your fish. We ordered many items and shared. Some were tapas, others for plates. A special meal should be a dining experience where you mix great company with various delectable flavors over the evening. Items continued to come to the table as we finished making room for more. I only had a 19 months living in Turkey, so I might not be an expert, but all of the items tasted better than what I remembered. My taste buds remained delighted, and belly was thrilled! The staff was helpful with the requested cake my son was craving, and they truly reminded me of the friends I left behind in Izmir. While my daughter-in-law is absolutely NOT a fan of raki, the raki and fish dinners in my past were meaningful times. I appreciated my son indulging me along with the staff for this special occasion. This restaurant is a true 5 star on all levels within a very reasonable price. Stretch your culture, expand your fine food taste experience, and enjoy fine Turkish food as others have for thousands of years. This place can help you do that! Afiyet olsun! read more

What a great find! We came late on a Friday and loved the vibe at Selda- friendly servers, lots of patrons, fun music. The food was excellent- we tried a variety of vegetarian times- lentil soup, halloumi, and spinach and feta pide. It was also served with homemade pide and labneh at the start of the meal. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

The food was great but the service lacked a bit-we were there late when it wasn't busy and it took forever for someone to bring us water, bread, and to take our orders. We got the beef shish which was really tasty. The lentil soup was delicious as well. The ambiance was very cute and pretty with the lights. read more

I have been eating in this restaurant for 3-4 years. The food is authentic Turkish and prices are very reasonable. Their salads are great; in addition you can choose your meat. The atmosphere is extremely friendly, informal and homey. Their patio is a great place to eat, particularly during summer. If you plan to eat during weekend and in the evening, you may need a reservation, since they can get crowded. Many Thanks to Indira for her hospitality. read more

My meal was outstanding. It was so fresh. I had lamb chops with bean salad. The server was attentive and kept our glasses full. I had never had bean salad, and I could have had a bowl of just that. I'll definitely be back. read more

Selda Mediterranean - Lamb chops with bean salad - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I wish i could give this place zero stars. Really they have two tiers of customer service. So this is as of 25 oct, 7:30-830 pm. We were seated in the far corner of the restaurant getting an okay service - alright. Then comes somebody who was being showered with an obsequious service - to an extent their waters being replaced - their orders being given priority - and in fact i placed an order for an item which they claimed they ran out of - but i think they were saving for the party i mentioned. ALL PAYING CUSTOMERS ARE EQUAL AND YOUR PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT OF ONE OVER OTHERS IS RIDICULOUS. I am never coming back to this place. THIS IS AMERICA PLEASE BE AMERICAN IN SPIRIT read more

Their mixed grill is the best in town: authentic and tasty. We enjoyed their shepherd salad and lentil soup. Service was excellent. I will come back again. read more

Selda Mediterranean - Mixed grill - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Love the complimentary bread with yogurt dip!! They even brought out piping hot bread before we were finished with the first round of bread. Generous portion sizes and extremely juicy kabobs! Decent prices on par with other restaurants and it was extremely popular and busy so happy with how the service was still attentive! The only thing I would recommend would be to add more fans on the patio because we made a reservation for inside and there was only outside seating and no fans on the side we sat on! More fans would make it more pleasant because it's still quite hot out. Didn't see inside at all but the patio is nice with all the lights. read more

Selda Mediterranean - Chicken Shish and Chicken Adana - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The food was very good but small portions for the price. For example, for the kabob only had one skewer when for the price most places give you two. The ambiance was very good. Given it was originally a Taco Bueno that changed hands a few times, they did a very good job of a makeover. The service was the only real downside. The waitstaff was to anxious to grab our plates. They were reaching for them without asking if we were done as if they were trying to get us out the door in a hurry. read more

I'm so glad we stopped at Selda for dinner. The food was amazing! We ordered garlic shrimp, Tzatziki, and Lahmacun flatbread. Everything was so flavorful. The warm bread was delicious with the Tzatziki and the sauce for the garlic shrimp. For dessert we had the Espresso Martini, also very tasty. Such an amazing food experience. Great place to share plates and try different things. The staff is very friendly! They work together in serving. Food comes out fast and as it's ready. I can't wait to go back! read more

Always delicious!! Super excited to have one close to home. High quality and fresh!!

This has quickly become my new favorite late Friday night spot. They don't close until 12AM! I've always driven by here and have never thought to dine in until one day after pickleball, my friends were craving Mediterranean food. I'm so happy we decided to give this place a shot. They were busy and it was very lively on a Friday night, but they quickly sat our table of 11. The whole wait staff was so friendly and made us feel like family. We immediately returned the next week and had an even better experience. Every single dish was mind-blowingly delicious. The table favorite was the Al Nazik which is cubed lamb served in an eggplant puree. The beet & watermelon salad was also refreshingly amazing. Bread is free and bottomless and they gave us Turkish tea on the house. I love this place and want to take all my friends here! read more

Girls Night went off with a bang! First things first, please make a reservation. I waited too late, and thankfully, the host accommodated my part of 3, but they do fill up and only catered to reservation. After having my dining experience, I can absolutely agree! We ordered mainly from the small bite menu and were highly surprised they offered more food for each plate than expected. If you go with a party of 4, there will be one bite per person to try. Such great tactic to try and not overfill yourself. All of the dishes were great in flavor, wonderfully presented, and had me wanting more. My least favorite was the lentil soup, not as thick as I would have liked and not much spice/flavor involved. My favorite was the stuff dates, I'm still surprised how the sweetness and savory blended so well. I also like to add that all of their fried plates were not greasy and oddly light, I have a sensitive stomach, so tasing these items were a bit of a risk, but I would do it again. As for the desserts, the Turkish flan fell flat. It didn't really capture any flavor in the custard. However, it was my first time trying Kunefe, and it was delicious!! I'm so excited to return and try an entree and reorder their Kunefe This restaurant has a great staff, and the restaurant is beautifully set up. It has a great dinner experience, and I highly recommend trying it out! read more

The food was fire. The shawarma was some of the best I've had. The falafel were amazing. My gf got lentil soup. It was addictive, and I don't even like lentil soup. TLDR, the food was stellar. I also thought our server was quite a fun character. I do wish the hot sauce was a bit hotter, and wished the gyro portion was a bit larger. It also would have been nice if they had Tahini. My gf can't eat dairy, so she couldn't eat the homemade yogurt sauce. read more

I husband was looking for an Arabic restaurant and as usual I couldn't convince this was Turkey. Oh well, I love Turkey cuisine and he got a taste it. The restaurant clientele tells you is it is authentic Turkish cooking. The restaurant was packed. Service was excellent and staff cordial. The Manager told me the name of the soup I has been trying to find from my trips to Turkey so I was happy to add that to my Pinterest. Recommend this little gem we found on YELP. read more

Easily one of my favorite mediterranean spots in the city. The food is so fresh and comes in the perfect portions to share. The vibe inside is very chill and the staff do not rush you at all.

Selda Mediterranean - Vegetarian Couscous - 10/10 recommend! - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Delicious Turkish food that comes out quickly and is very flavorful! We had a variety of dishes, but my favorites were the chicken adana and the vegetarian couscous. They were scrumptious and had me wanting more! The service was attentive and patient. This place was really popular for a weekday evening; it was completely packed and had lots of live music. We were a bit cramped sitting as a party of five in a booth, but this was the only table they had and the quick service and delicious food made up for it! Would definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand. I had a great experience and would recommend this place to folks looking for good Turkish food in a lively restaurant! read more

Cozy, charming spot for Turkish staples Loved everything we tried here. It was all so fresh and well done. It also happened to be a night with live entertainment and we were treated to live music by a local singer which made the evening even more special. Hummus-- smooth, creamy. I practically licked this plate clean. Ezme-- it was my first time trying this and I loved it. It's a condiment/dip made of roasted tomatoes, peppers, onion, spices and herbs. I couldn't get enough of this and loved dunking my flatbread in it too. Combo meat platter-- each meat delivered on flavor. Loved the char from the kebabs. The meat patties were also extremely juicy. I devoured all the roasted shishito and tomatoes it came with too. Lahmacun-- Turkish flatbread with minced meat, vegetables and herbs. We wrapped raw onions and cilantro with the flatbread and rolled it up in the proper way. Kunefe-- finally got to check this off my to-try list too!! The cheese was super melty and shrouded in syrup soaked shredded wheat. It was a delightful combination of texture and flavors. Baklava-- the perfect sweet treat to end the night. Layers of flaky filo, walnuts and syrup!! read more

Firstly, love the ambiance and the location! We had been to "The mayors house by selda" so definitely had high expectations and indeed this restaurant met all our expectations! Volcan took great care of us the moment we were seated - he was extremely jolly and good to talk to! For the food, let me tell you everything was amazing! For the appetizers we had - hummus, grilled eggplant salad, falafel and shishito peppers! For the entree- we had the Adana chicken kebab and grilled branzino ( highly recommend both the dishes) and we finished off the meal with tea (which btw was complimentary)! Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place! Trust me, you won't be disappointed *__* read more

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service. Very good quality food. We had the kebabs which were way above average and a meat & cheese tray. So, so much good food. I have been here 4 times now and this is my first time I have reviewed. It has gotten a lot better in past year. They have a wonderful outside porch that is soooo. Nice! They have my vote! Great place to go to get "Fat and Happy" :) read more

We've driven by Selda a million times and it's always busy, and for good reason. We went on a Friday night and had a light dinner. I have a few food allergies that makes it a bit difficult for me to eat Turkish food, but the servers were really accommodating and patiently answered all questions I had on the menu and made accommodations as necessary. I had no issues after, so I really appreciated the care they took. Anyway, back to the food! The halloumi cheese appetizer was really good, especially with the walnut red sauce. It went great with the fresh pita bread. My husband ordered the calf liver, it was prepared really well - meat was tender and juicy and spiced well. I'm not a huge fan of liver but my husband really liked it. We also ordered one ground beef kebob dish just to see how it was and it stole the show! It is the best kebob I've had in Dallas, the meat was so tender and juicy and it had a great smoky flavor. I got double rice since I was allergic to an ingredient in the salad, so there's a lot of rice in the pics. The rice was made really well too. We finished our meal with tea and kenefe. Overall a really good dinner, great atmosphere, and great staff. We will be back, and most likely will visit the bishop arts location soon too. read more

Coming back from a trip to Istanbul, I was quite impressed on how authentic this place was in their food! 4.5 stars is probably more accurate, but otherwise a fatastic choice in North Dallas. Don't underestimate how busy this place can get on a Friday at 5pm. If at all possible, try to get a reservation. Luckily, they gave me 75 minutes as a walk in. Service is attentive to body language, and they don't rely on harassing you throughout the night. They do a good job or being transparent about cook times and how busy the kitchen is. The Ali Nazik was fantastic all the way around. The beef was tender, the eggplant puree had a great mix of yogurt in its composition. Probably my favorite proper entrée. The lamb chops here were divine. They were cooked medium rare. This is not common that lamb chops outside of a fancy steakhouse are cooked properly. I could actually taste the lamb in all its glory in this case! Yeah its expensive portion wise, but for how it tastes and how it was cooked, I would easily order again. The spinach feta cheese pide boat is a solid choice. Personally, it could have been cheesier, but for what was there, it's still enjoyable. The bread was fairly soft on the inside but still had that exterior crunch that I crave. The bacon "dressed" stuffed dates were quite enjoyable. I use the word dressed because saying wrap is not accurate in this case. The date sits on top of bacon, which is fine by me. The taste is concentrated with the umami anchor that is this dish. The dates could have been slightly softer for my taste, but not at all unpleasant. The bean tomato salad thing was actually quite enjoyable. Light and refreshing without feeling like a chore or heavy on the tongue. Both meat dishes come with a bed of rice that it sits on. I personally didn't find it necessary, but I guess this is their way of having the customers leave full and happy. The complimentary bread was quite nice as well, with the labneh being the most exciting part about it. read more

Okay, the food was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back, I had the lamb chops. It was recommended by our waiter, so yummy. The couple we were with had been to Turkey, so they ordered food I'd never heard of before. It didn't disappoint. The server was very attentive, our food came out at the perfect time. I judge a restaurant by how loud and if you can hear a conversation. It was a busy night, no empty tables and we could hear each other. In other words the perfect restaurant. read more

Everything was absolutely amazing -- from the food to the ambiance and the impeccable service. I had the Branzino, grilled lamb chops, basmati rice, and a refreshing bean salad -- every bite was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. For dessert, the Turkish flan with cinnamon was a delightful finish, especially paired with a warm cup of hot tea. A truly unforgettable dining experience! read more

Our guest asked for Mediterranean food. I booked elsewhere, but she wanted salmon, so I booked at Selda. Delicious, authentic food. Wonderful service. A welcoming staff. Desserts to remember. I had two nights in Dallas and am grateful one was at Selda. read more

The food at Seldas is absolutely wonderful! Ambiance is nice too. I go there fairly frequently especially when it was called Peras. However, I don't recommend it for a holiday like Valentine's Day when the weather turns bad. We were told when we walked in for our very early dinner reservation that we had the table for an hour and half. The restaurant was pleasantly busy but still lots of empty tables. Service was a bit manic. We felt rushed as soon as we sat down. I spoke up about the time limit and apparently they weren't able to have as many tables because of the rain. The patio looked fully enclosed so I wasn't clear what the issue was with decreased number of tables. The appetizer and entrees were superb. We weren't offered a second glass of wine, coffee or dessert before check was given to us after 50 minutes. I somewhat snidely remarked we 40 minutes left. Also, my dinner companion finished his dinner before me and they whisked away his plate quickly. Isn't standard for good service to wait until both people finish before removing both peoples' plates at the same time? Or has that gone out of fashion? I couldn't believe we weren't offered coffee or dessert. When I mentioned it the waiter was annoyed and recited off what they had. I declined as my hackles were rising by this point. I used to work in fine dining restaurants. I appreciate the pressure of working holidays and for having to switch things around last minute when something goes wrong. However, the name of the game is is hospitality which we did not feel tonight. I am loyal to Seldas. The wait staff is normally a lot of fun and I like the guy that waited on us. That said, I probably won't go back on a holiday anytime soon. I rated Seldas at only 3 stars tonight because of the service. Food is superb. read more

So happy I got recommended this place by some local coffee baristas! The food and staff were so amazing! We got the mixed grill and lamp chops as proposed by the waitress to have a good variety which I'm glad we did. Each meat had its own unique tastes, but the quality in the way they were prepared was exquisite. So tender and juicy. It felt like a mom and pop store with a modern, elegant twist. We could tell the cooks and waiters genuinely cared to treating us very well. We were the first ones there that day for lunch. It was also a weekday so it wasn't packed. I hear if you try to go for dinner, it's hard to get a spot, so going for lunch was a nice tip! read more

I ordered the Lahmacun. And it was amazing, the pickled red onion with the marinaded tomatoes and mint added the perfect flavor and texture. The size is a little daunting because it is huge. The service was absolutely fantastic less the ten minutes and my food was ready , the waitress was pleasant, friendly and enjoyably entertaining. The ambiance while not overly dramatic was indicative of a very pleasant date spot, it was quiet, good for pleasant conversation and inflection during the meal read more

Whether I'm lunching here on a lazy afternoon or having dinner on one of their boisterous weekend nights, their food is consistently great. Most recently, I loved Selda's tasty Stuffed Dates; A+ grilled Lamb Chops; and, amazing dessert of syrup, shredded wheat, and cheese 'Kunefe'. Their service is friendly and good when called upon. Comfortable enough is their dining room. Nicer it is out on their patio if weather permits. CHEERS! read more

The food truck was at The Truck Yard in the The Colony. I got a gyro and greek fries. It took about 15 minutes to get prepped. The gyro was a bit messy, but we are at a food truck. It had pickles in it which I would have preferred on the side. Additionally, they could have done with some more tzatziki sauce. Otherwise it was still a good meal. My friend got the chicken gyro and said it could have used some more seasoning. read more

This is our go-to place whenever we eat out, and for good reason! They serve the best lahmacun (lahamajon) in all of DFW--crispy, flavorful, and truly authentic. The rest of the menu is just as impressive, with fresh, well-seasoned Turkish dishes that never disappoint. The staff is always welcoming, and the atmosphere feels like home. Easily one of our favorite restaurants in the area. read more
