    Hunkar Begindi
    Brian B.

    I recently celebrated my 45th birthday with my family at this place. I enjoy Mediterranean food, and was wanting to check this place out. The space is a decent size and it wasn't crazy busy, which made for an enjoyable experience. We received some bread and a dipping sauce shortly after being seated. The bread was delicious and soft, and paired well with the dipping sauce. I decided to try Hunkar Begendi. This was excellent! It also came with a side of rice which I liked as well. After our meal was finished the waiter brought out a complementary dessert in honor of my birthday. It had the same flavor as baklava, but with a different texture. I really enjoyed my experience and intend to return in the future!!

    Best falafel I've ever had! Dolma was tasty, lamb burger was juicy, fries were crispy. Baklava and Turkish coffee closed out a delish meal. Gorgeous decor with a family feel and friendly atmosphere. We'll be back!

    Beef Kabab plate.

    This Mediterranean restaurant is pretty new I think. This was our first time and wow. I had the beef kabobs and it was big chunks of deliciousness! The rice, the salad, the grilled vegetables, all wonderful. And, the service was friendly and welcoming and so nice. Even the owner came to say hi and check on us. We will go back there soon!

    My husband brought me here as a surprise, because he loves Mediterranean food, and Oh my goodness I loved everything about Sevin. The food is delicious, the salad was so fresh and tasted amazing, the hummus and naan was excellent. Customer service is great, when you are here you feel like family. Beautiful space, clean, and wonderfully seat up. We will be returning, and I highly recommend everyone try Sevin. You will be very glad you did!

    Shepherds' Salad (small) looked great but tasted awful- flavorless tomatoes and the cukes were either stored too cold or were too old.

    Stopped in to check out Sevin near the Colonnade. It was a weekday and wasn't very busy. It's in the spot where Basil used to be. Really clean and brightly colored interior, and we were told to choose our own table. We went with the lunch specials- two courses for $15.95. Great deal! I started with the shepherd salad, something I grew up with and make at home often. Not good at all. Maybe it was a bad day. DH had the sigara cheese borek and they were pretty good! Crispy on the outside, creamy cheese on the inside. I had the Turkish meatballs (kofte) and they were came with rice, piyaz (delicious) and a cabbage salad. Everything was tasty. DH had the lamb burger. The menu description is written in a way that makes you think tomatoes and feta are burger toppings. When we saw cheddar cheese, we were confused so we asked... apparently tomatoes and feta are inside the patty (can neither see nor taste them inside). He thought the burger was just OK. The best part of the meal was the dessert sampler! The hurmasica was huge and absolutely delicious! Best thing on the plate and I'd probably only order that next time. We weren't offered any coffee or tea to order, so we just skipped it. We'd like to go back and try something different next time!

    I had heard that Basil had changed over to @sevinmediterraneankitchen but hadn't checked it out until dinner last night. A dear friend Alison wanted to treat me for my birthday and suggested we have dinner there. I'm always up for trying new places. Emira first shared the menu with us and told us that she's Bosnian but that the chef and the food are Turkish. She mentioned that there were some Bosnian desserts, so my curiosity was piqued. Hubby and I had unsweet tea, and Dad had Lemonade. We all shared the Mixed Cold Plate, which had hummus, baba ganoush, dolma, ezme, and piyaz. Ezme has tomatoes, cucumber, pomegranate molasses, and walnuts. Piyaz was white beans, red onions, red and green bell peppers, and olive oil. Both were new to us but were delicious. Dad and I shared the Hunkar Begendi, which was diced lamb, sauteed onions, bell peppers over creamy eggplant puree, and tomato sauce. The lamb was not as tender as the lamb shank, so it was a little tough for Dad to eat. Hubby had the Lamb Shank, which was very tender, and he shared some with Dad. Kong had the Lamb Shish Kebab, and Alison had the Doner Kebab. She preferred the lamb shish kebab rather than her own dish. For dessert, we all shared the Baklava and tried the Hurmasice. Nice touch with the whipped cream. It's definitely very sweet. Probably would've been good with some decaf coffee! The plus about the restaurant is it's family run. Taner (Dad), Emira (Mom), and Kenan (son) were all there, taking turns serving and clearing the tables. Pretty good experience and good food. The one dessert we didn't try that seemed unique was the Cupavice. It's a mix of chocolate and coconut. Next time!

    In one word . . . WIN!  We were looking for a new Mediterranean restaurant to try, and the reviews for Sevin Mediterranean Grill were tops.  They were right!  A warm decor, good lighting, and soft music combined to create a charming vibe.  The servers were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive.  The menu is Turkish, but the pastry chef was Bosnian so we were treated to two cultural experiences in one. Shortly after sitting down, we were presented with a Turkish flat bread hot out of the oven with a side of tzatziki.  Great for tear-and-share and scooping up hummus and such. We ordered the mixed cold plate as our app.  It included hummus, babaganoush, dolma, ezme, piyaz, a fresh order of bread.  I'd never had Ezme which is a mixture of tomatoes, cucumber, pomegranate molasses, and walnuts.  It really popped with flavor and I loved it.  I would have taken a better picture, but we dug in immediately without hesitation before I thought to take a pic. Guess we were hungry . . . Yum! For entrees, my wife chose the Turkish meatball and I chose the lamb shank on an eggplant purée with a sauce derived from the drippings and a side of rice. Full of flavor.  The eggplant purée served the dish like mashed potatoes, but it was far more silky in texture. Really delicious and enjoyable to eat. The pasty chef explained that she makes traditional Bosnian deserts as well as Baklava. She took us over to the desert counter and explained all the options. She was super friendly and happy to educate us. We selected something called Hormasica which was served with ice cream and two cups of complementary Turkish tea. Hormasica as a flavor profile similar to baklava, but in sort of a fried pancake format. It was really good. We also got an order of baklava to go. In short, we highly recommend Sevin Mediterranean Grill. It is a lovely family owned place with good vibes, great service, delicious food, and at a great value for the quality and experience we received. We will be adding Sevin to our regular rotation.

    Mixed Hot Plate for 2. Really it's enough for 4.

    What a way to start the weekend. My wife and I paid Sevin a visit early Friday evening to try out their chicken kebabs. Well let's just say the kebabs were perfect. So was the Turkish meatball. Same with the Adana kebabs. But my favorite part of the meal was the starters. Creamy hummus, fresh Greek salad, olives, and the best puff bread you can sink your teeth into. As much as the food is the star of the show, the warm atmosphere and top notch service sets Sevin well apart from any other Mediterranean restaurant in town. We will certainly be back!

    Dinner for two

    After leaving a movie while here in San Antonio, I looked up Middle Eastern restaurants in the area and Sevin came up. After reading the reviews we made the decision to go and give it a shot. Our experience there was phenomenal. The owners, the service and of course the food exceeded whatever expectation we had. The restaurant is clean and lovely. The owner recommended the dinner for two dish. So we took her recommendation. The dish has a sampling of all the meats over a bed of rice, vegetables, and salad. This was plenty for two people. Afterwards for dessert she had us try 2 different baclavas. One was walnut based, the other pistachio based. We capped our meal with Turkish coffees. I will have to say that whenever I return to San Antonio, I will be returning with gusto.

    Dessert sampler....
    Francisco L.

    First timer, the waitress and owner were really pleasant and helpful... we tried their lunch special and boy we were surprised... all the food was great and we even tried their dessert sampler which was great as well.. another fantastic choice for Mediterranean food...sorry I didn't took more pictures, too busy eating... Definitely coming back! Kudos to the owner and staff...

    New menu prices

    So Sevin doesn't exist anymore. The new owner bought the business and changed the name. Made drastical price changes. See new menu Pic now.. I ordered the chicken adana. The previous owner gave 2 skewers of chicken meant. The new owner gives us one skewer with a higher price. Food was decent. Hummus wasn't the best. Ambiance was good. I recommend yelp team at least update the business page on the owners behalf.

    Falafel Combo

    Customers! Selda Mediterranean Kitchen and Bar has bought Sevin Mediterranean restaurant on I10 and Wurzbach and opened just 3 weeks ago. I'm sure the name will change on here soon. This restaurant owners/chef has come down from North Dallas where they have a successful restaurant of the same name and expanding to open another restaurant in Dallas called The Mayors House by Selda. We met one of the owners, Serdar. Very nice man. Thank you for your hospitality! Boy, it did not disappoint. The decor is modern with very comfortable blue velvet chairs! We sampled a few dishes between 3 of us. We had the Falafel combo, Turkish Doner, the Lamb Shish, spinach and feta pida, fried cauliflower. Our meals were accompanied by a wonderfully refreshing bean and cucumber salad and Turkish rice. They also gave us complimentary baklava and Turkish flan to try. I have to say, this was some of the best Turkish food I've had here in San Antonio. They did tell me they will be closed starting this Weds for 10 days to add a bar to the restaurant. I just wanted to give them a shout out! I also posted this on the FB group San Antonio Restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back!

    I decided to visit my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in San Antonio, Basils. I pulled into the parking lot and was disappointed to see it was no longer there and that a new restaurant was in its place, Sevin Mediterranean Kitchen. I decided well, why not. I was already here. Let's try the new place. Well, I just found my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant! I came here and was educated that not all Mediterranean food is the same. This place specialized in Turkish food. Their chef has over 30 years experience in Turkish Cooking. Kenan was or server. He was very personable and helpful. He explained the Turkish twist from the former restaurant. I asked is they served Naan bread. He explained they did not, but they did serve a similar Turkish bread and if I enjoyed Naan I would enjoy their bread. It came to the table and was similar to naan with white sesame seeds. It was very good. We were also provided complimentary mixed olives and a dill, cucumber and yogurt sauce. Our appetizer was falafel. Very different than any falafel I have eaten in the past. Typically falafel is very crispy and filled with a lot of herbs mixed in the chickpeas. The was fried, but more patty like and more chickpea than herbs. It was very tasty. We enjoyed the difference. My partner has the Chicken delight. It was well cooked and well seasoned. It was made with Sautéed chicken breast, mushroom, red bell pepper, creamy eggplant purée, and tomato sauce. I had the Turkish Kofte, which was Ground lamb patties, cabbage, rice pilaf, and navy beans. The lamb patties had a great char and very tender. The taste was outstanding. The navy beans were served cold and tasted well. During our lunch we also interacted with 2 other employees. Everyone was friendly and made you feel welcome. They were truly interested if you enjoyed the food and sought feedback. I will be returning. They are only in the 4th week of business and doing a great job. Overall, I am glad I stayed and tried Sevin!

    Platter....so full of flavor and plenty to share
