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

This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the DFW metroplex. It seems to be everyone else's favorite as well with how packed it was on a Friday night. They also offer hookah outside. My favorite items were the fried cauliflower and lamb shank. The cauliflower was accompanied with three sauces and they were phenomenal! I could eat two plates by myself easily. Then, the lamb shank was tender, moist, and savory. It laid on a bed of rice and bean salad. I'm not a fan of beans but it worked for me. It's so good I plan on going back soon. The servers are fun and nice. The restaurant is cool and casual. Neat place to take your friends, partner, kids, business, etc. It'll have something for everybody. read more

So delicious and authentic. The cheese borak was so good, and it was lightly fried. If you are looking for authentic Mediterranean food this is a great spot. Service was great too read more

Super unassuming from the outside, on the back end of a strip mall, but the food and staff are so AUTHENTIC. The food is delicious, staff is wonderful and legitimately the best baklava I've ever had. You gotta try it, it's a hidden gem. read more

Excellent food and service. Well staffed and chefs are experts in the food. Busy but comfortable. They go out of their way to help and solve problems. read more

New favorite! I've been twice in past month, including for my birthday. Once for a business lunch and later for dinner with my wife. Excellent both times. The service, the food, the atmosphere - are all special. The veggie couscous is hard to pass up on: smooth, creamy, complex. I had the beef shish, also excellent! Tender chunks of beef perfectly seasoned and cooked. The staff was attentive and playful. It was packed on a Tuesday night with all ages and backgrounds. Selda is our new go-to! read more

Best Mediterranean food I've had so far. Everything is fresh. Family friendly. Does have a changing table in the ladies room. Ladies room has heated toilet seats. Overall great experience would highly recommend. 10/10 read more

The food here was really flavorful and you could truly notice the freshness. Really appreciative this place has stayed true to its identity. This is authentic Mediterranean food, no twists. Slightly overpriced but balances out with the portion sizes. Service was good, lots of workers even when it's slow - this might be a family owned business. Good choice for groups, a date, or even just to grab a cup of tea. read more

Selda Mediterranean - Baklava - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Met a friend for dinner. The dining room was too loud with not enjoyable live music, which made conversation very difficult. Both my friend and I ordered the pistachio meatball plate, but the server only brought out one plate telling us that we only ordered one plate. It took a long time for the second plate to arrive, so the first plate was already cold. The pistachio meatball was dry and not a meatball, but more like a kofta kebab without a stick. To counteract the dry meatball, the plate was drowned with sauce. The white bean salad was more like an onion salad. Although we ordered knafeh early, it took a long time to get the dessert. When the knafeh arrived, it was burned. The server never checked on us. Not a good experience. read more

Apps - dates, cauliflower, spinach feta flatbread, lamb chops, bean salad. etc. tres leches and baklava with ice cream for dessert. Turkish coffee closed out the meal. Full bar . Great ambiance. Attentive wait staff. 5-stars! read more

Great atmosphere with nice ambience. Outdoor area looks fun too with all the lights etc. Food was EXCELLENT! I would recommend we have tried at least 3-4 different dishes they were all great! Salads on the sides had different combinations in them but it's was different side experience for us(But main meats were excellent!) Servers are also very nice and friendly. Overall it was great experience keep it up! read more

Good ambience, can be loud , service was good, able to seat large parties. We ordered hummus wasn't smooth as i expected, spicy esme was good. Entree was beyti special, Adana kabab, salad, lamachun was all good read more

Went here for lunch with a friend and I have to say, we were very pleasantly surprised! Loved everything about this place. We ordered the cigar borek which was crisp on the outside with goey flavourful cheese on the inside. The side sauce it came with was also very nice. For mains, we ordered the grilled branzino and the lamb chops. Both were fantastic, specially the branzino...sooo soft. They gave us complimentary bread and dip and it was soo good. The bread was fresh and hot. For drinks we got the Bellini (requested for it since they don't have a cocktail menu but will happily make any cocktail you ask for). It was just perfect, not too sweet. The service was prompt and they were very accommodating of all our requests. The ambiance is that of a cosy neighbourhood upscale restaurant. They do have outside patio seating too. All in all, highly recommend. Will definitely will be back! read more

We were promptly seated inside and there was one other party inside with several more on the patio. Our order was taken and food came out in a decent amount of time. However no one came by to check on us after or even to give us the bill. We had to ask someone that was not our waiter to bring the bill. Food was ok, but the service made it so we will not be back again. read more

A hidden gem of Mediterranean flavors!! The exterior looks tiny & decorated with coziness... but wait till you go inside, it's a WHOA this place is huge the interior accommodates sitting for a large crowd!!! You definitely need reservations though ;) and a bring your appetite too! For anyone who's been to the Mediterranean islands...then you'll feel like a flash back of great cuisine, cool atmosphere and super great service! Turkish/Greek blend of YUM!!

I ordered takeout tonight. Mixed grill and chicken shishk. The meat was overcooked and under spiced. The beet salad was excellent as was the bread. I will go to the restaurant and eat in as perhaps delivery is not good for this type of food read more

The best Mediterranean food in Dallas! Everything we've had has been fantastic. The lamb with smoked eggplant is out of this world!

Absolutely amazing food, impeccable service every time. My favorite is the lamb chops, the rice and salad that comes with the entrees is to die for. My husband loves the pastry filled with feta cheese, delicious. Highly recommend read more

Wasn't expecting it to be this amazing! The patio ambiance is alluring. The dinning room small but relaxed. We let the waiter choose our small bites and entrees. Kutay did not disappoint in his decision or his execution. Everything we had was delicious and had so many different flavors. read more

I didn't take any pictures this but we all LOVED our meal. We were driving up to Oklahoma and decided to go a little out of our way to try this restaurant I heard of on TikTok. I'm so glad we did. We got pita that came with a luscious yogurt dip,, hummus, flatbread, esme (a tomato based dip), a chicken skewer that came with rice and white bean salad, falafel, and baklava and tea for dessert. A cute atmosphere and attentive service. We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing atmosphere! Such a lively restaurant with great vibes, mainly from the diners. 9/10 The food is good and there are great options. Prices are reasonable. Definitely a great place to share plates. 7/10 The service was a little ehh. Not much personality and kind of uncomfortable because it felt like we were being annoying and judged the whole time. 5/10 read more

Busy, loud atmosphere, fresh food, great service. Nice drink selection. The meat of the day was scrumptious.

Absolutely love Selda! The place is always packed; I would recommend getting a reservation before your visit. Lots of options on the menu that become family staples. Lots of options that keep you exploring and appreciating turkish cuisine as well. The food is spectacular! read more

Selda's food is so darn delicious and their service is stellar. Generous portions. I keep forgetting to try their other restaurant in Oak Cliff, but will try next time. Selda is welcoming and a fun time out! read more

Delicious food, very kind service and caring staff and just good vibes overall! I got the Turkish breakfast for 1 and was so surprised at the amount of food on my plate! Everything was so yummy!! read more

Literally typing this over my complimentary Turkish Tea and couldn't be more thrilled to share my experience here at Selda :) Upon arrival, doors were opened and the servers were quick to greet and get my partner and I seated. We got a nice booth overlooking the view of the beautifully structured and elevated middle eastern landscape of the restaurant. The bar is eccentric and has bursts of blues making you feel like you're in a hidden oasis. The lighting was perfect and the overall vibe was eclectic; I adore a good eclecticism. Our server, Volkan D, was quick on his feet and very helpful. I tend to ask for a lot while eating out and I was also in service industry and know how annoying it is, but he never got bothered. He was eager to make sure things were top notch. Thanks Volkan! At some point I got up to use the restroom and the manager (or owner, I forgot to get his name) also checked in with me and I expressed how great everything was. The random check-ins make guests feel important so I loved that. We started off with the complimentary pita bread (freshly baked and was still risen from the oven), and complimentary labneh- both phenomenal. We ordered Turkish feta and olives to pair with our hummus and then for our entrees, I had the Urfa Kebab and my partner had the Lamb Shish with a side of the bean salad. Everything was SO insanely good that we felt terrible admitting that it might be our new favorite middle eastern hole in the wall. The Urfa had a slight fragrant taste to it that made the savory juices beyond palatable. The lamb was our favorite (we shared everything). It had a slight gaminess which we love and was charred flawlessly. The meat was buttery and melted into my tastebuds as I chewed away. The salad was dressed well and had an acidic taste to it that went great with the overall citrus and herby flavor. Everything was decadent and mouth-watering. We can't wait to come back. Same time next week? read more

Amazing! Food and Amazing service from Elias! 10/10! #comingback #takingmynextdatehere

I debated writing this review because I generally am pretty understanding and I know, having worked in restaurants for many years, and my family owning and operating restaurants, the impact a bad review can have overall. However, after a few days of thinking on it, I felt compelled to leave a note for the management of this restaurant. Two of my best friends and I came in on a busy Monday night. We waited to be sat for our reserved table (which is fine I don't mind waiting), but as we were waiting, a two top came in, clearly 'VIPS', clearly walk-ins, and was sat immediately at a 4 person table that had been empty since we arrived; then another couple came and was sat for a reservation time after us. Again, busy night, okay, fine. We get to the patio and it is packed. And windy. During the course of our dinner, which was going okay, but at a certain point a couple comes and sits on the patio and lights up two cigarettes while their SUPER loud dog sat and yelped in one of the chairs. You also can't help but be distracted by their huge propane heaters. The patio is warped, so they shake and are very unsturdy. The entire time other tables were asking the staff to shift them around and at one point we have about 4 of them within a foot of our table in the center of the patio. My friends and I were having a serious conversation and all of a sudden, one of the heaters quickly fell HARD onto my friend's back and her head. The fact that nothing caught fire on our table was an absolute miracle, but it definitely caused a scene and we had other guests asking if we were okay and checking on my friend, who kept insisting she was okay, but was, as we all were, in shock - however the pain hit her throughout the next few days. Once the heater was lifted off the table, not ONE person on the staff or the manager came to apologize or offer to move our table to another spot. What if it had been a baby, or an elderly person? SHAME ON management for this behavior, we expect a response!! read more

Excellent Turkish tapas and entrees. Service equally great. Depending on the evening, you'll get a quiet, romantic ambiance or a lively, festive atmosphere with music and singing. Overall a fun, and great experience with the best Turkish food in town. Highly recommend! read more

We started with the halloumi cheese which was tasty but needed to be warmer. We also ordered the cigar borek which was good, but it had a deep fried oily taste, so I'm not sure if I would order it again. My husband's lamb shish was really delicious and I loved the Beyti special. It was amazing and I had never eaten anything quite like it before. Our server was excellent and the restaurant, while super casual, is also charming. We had a 6:00 rez, and by the time we left it was packed. We would definitely go back! My biggest criticism is the overwhelming smell of Fabuloso. I appreciate a clean restaurant and clean table, but hope they can figure something else out. read more

A little underwhelming considering what we paid for, especially the appetizers. I mean come on, a table spoon of tzatziki for $8 is a little outrageous. However, the other dishes redeem a couple of stars. Salmon wrapped in grape leaves was delicious and well seasoned. Lamb shank was ok, but the lamb chops was the star of the dinner menu. Chicken shish was also reported to be very tender. I liked how each dish had a bean salad that was served as a palette cleanser. Desert: ORDER THE APPLE BAKLAVA. This stuff is like crack, seriously. Texture is similar to the crust on an apple pie but not dry and very sweet. In summary: Main gripe is the portion size of appetizers (hummus, spicy ezme, and tzatziki). Main dishes were ok, and desert was good. Overall I'd give this place 3/5 stars read more

Hello, After a long time I came to Selda restaurant to satisfy my craving for Turkish food. I was shocked when I saw the prices. 1 lahmacun for 12$. In a place like America, they say that the menu you see in the picture is for 2 or 4 people. It may be for 2 people but never for 4 people... Besides, this menu is 68$ ... I ate this menu for 27$ for a single person at a place in Boston with a higher income level than Texas. As for the taste, the meatballs were not cooked, the other meats were delicious, but it definitely does not deserve its money. Finally, the sides that come with such a mixed grill do not reflect the Turkish food culture. read more

This place is not only delicious but the ambiance is so pretty and quaint! The patio at night is so relaxing, good service, and great wine. To top it off the food is healthy and portioned out perfectly. We had the house Pinot noir and for a house wine it was delicious. Also had the hummus and a beef kebab plate that isn't pictured! read more

Fabulous Mediterranean food! We appreciate the genuine servers and delicious, authentic food. I recommend making a reservation, if you want to sit inside. The Mixed Grill entree is awesome! read more

Scouting for a good Mediterranean spot for quiet casual date night and this spot hits the mark. Seated immediately in Patio as requested and glad they got fans to wade off the heat.Ordered Halloumi Cheese (lightly fried, on a bed of roasted pepper, walnut, and topped with pomegranate molasses) and side of Pita bread. Cheese was delicious. For entree , Chicken Shish (marinated chicken cubes served with Turkish bulgur rice ) was pretty good. Pros: ------- Good food Friendly staff Quick service Nice ambiance Patio Free parking Clean restrooms Well Priced Hookah available Good for date night Cons: -------- None for me read more

This is one of the best middle eastern places I have eaten at and I know a lot of middle eastern places. This is one of Turkish origin. The best way to enjoy the most variety of this food is come during happy hour 5pm-7pm Sunday through Thursday. They had 1/2 off certain appetizers and 30% off wine. Then they have a Mixed Grill entree which covers all the highlighted many of the vary meats. But make sure you try the off menu lamb kabab. Spectacular. read more

I love this place. Great food, friendly service and atmosphere. The inside is so inviting but I love their outdoor seating also- since that's so hard to find in this area. You must try the ezme appetizer with a glass of nice red wine - my favorite. We generally just get a bunch of the small plates but it's all wonderful. read more

At the Truck Yard food truck. I got the loaded nachos and asked what was on them. The guy said cheese, chicken, sour cream and jalapeños. When I picked them up it was only cheese and chicken on them. They added jalapeños when I asked but said they didn't have sour cream or salsa. The chicken did taste good but not enough cheese and definitely need sour cream and/or salsa. Disappointing. read more
