    Very delicious and authentic menu. Our group shared various apps and entrees and all left comforted and satisfied. Service was attentive and ambience was cozy and relaxing. Convenient to the main areas and it was a nice walk from our rental for a girls weekend.

    Fan-freaking-tastic!!! What a great little spot with deliciously creative bites. The place itself is super cute but it is a little noisy inside. Our server was awesome; super helpful and very attentive. My favorite was definitely the cabbage. Charred and cooked to perfection. The hummus and goat was a very close second. The absolute standout though was the baklava. OMG! It was light, flakey and perfectly sweetened. I wish I would've added the lemony sauce to the cauliflower because that would've been perfect. The orange knot dessert was a miss for me but the sauce was outstanding. I'm definitely coming back here to try more of the dishes. It's the perfect little somewhat upscale date spot with affordable creations.

    Hands down, THE BEST Restaurant in Fredericksburg! Our first experience dining here is like going to all high end restaurant... service is impeccable, food comes out hot and fresh, staff is attentive and kind. I love that when you seated our waitress ask if this is our first time dining here or returning. We said first. She gave us the history of the restaurant which was open in 2023 and how the owner came to open Cafe Dimona with his family recipes. You get complimentary pita bread with 4 different dips. Preserve lemon, tahini, tomato salsa, and leafy green. All is good but Our favorite is the preserve lemon! refreshing and so lemon forward! The pita bread is so good! We ordered: 4/5: Humus comes with pita bread! The humus is good but I felt it was a bit under seasoned or needed acid. I added the preserve lemon with the humus and it was Devine! 5/5: lamb kebab and couscous was fire !! I am not a fan of lamb because of the gamey taste but this lamb was juicy, well seasoned, not gamey, and the best lamb kebab I've ever had! This dish was simply executed so well! The cherry tomatoes was roasted perfectly! Freshness of the cucumber salad helped balance the dish. Simple but excellent dish! Best Mediterranean food I've ever had! It comes with a lentil soup too. I wasn't a fan of the soup but my spouse devoured mine and his lol . Love that the meal is light and you weren't in a food coma after! Do I recommend this place? 100000 yes! I cannot wait to come back to try the branzino which they were out of when we visited. Order extra pit bread! The guest dining next to us was highly raving about Their roasted cauliflower so I can't wait to order that too! Lamb kebab is a must try. Super cozy place for date night, treat yourself, or if you simply want an excellent meal! This is a must try in Fredericksburg! Thank you to the Chef for amazing Mediterranean food in Fredericksburg! A hidden gem!

    Fresh Market Veggie Platter
    Maggie J.

    We had lunch here early on Saturday afternoon. When we arrived there was only one other occupied table in the dining room. The restaurant is located inside of a very charming house and the interior is light and bright and very cozy. The service throughout was fine but a little bit off. When I said I was between the salad, the omelette and the shakshuka the waiter told me to get the shakshuka if I was in the mood for something "watery". Oof. We started with the fresh market veggie platter "for dipping" which ended up being just cucumber, radish, bell pepper and olives that were positively swimming in oil. It was also served without dip so I guess they were for dipping into the 4 sauces that they bring you to try when you sit down. For lunch I ordered the Laurie's Salad with a poached egg and my husband ordered the lamb kebabs. I completely agree with other reviews here that the portions you get for what you are paying is kind of crazy. My husband's $27 lamb kebab plate had three small lamb kebabs with a side of cucumber salad and that's it. My salad was missing it's avocado which they brought when I asked but they first questioned whether it wasn't really in there as if I may be fibbing. The taste of the food was generally fresh and healthy, I just didn't feel like it was worth the menu prices.

    Turkish coffee pot

    Cafe Dimona was a best option for our party when we were looking for a break from pretzels and sauerkraut. A healthier option but the best part was the ambiance of how they had converted a house into a cozy restaurant. The staff were friendly and didn't have a much of a wait time. The decor was stellar , including the utensils and tableware. My order: Spicy shakshuka Falafel Charred cauliflower Mint tea Orange cake Turkish coffee Pita Sauce platter Challah Loved the spicy Shakshuka. It had a good balance of spices and the spice level wasn't too high and was definitely manageable . Falafel plate was an excellent order. It had the perfect crispiness and the interior was well cooked, not too hard nor moist. Loved the MINT tea. So refreshing!! Best sauces were - Tahini, Amba Mango , Kavush and Matbuha! Will definitely return for the complete package!!

    This is a gem located in Fredericksburg, Texas. We came here on a Saturday evening. It was a cute little looking Cafe with a cozy interior. Definitely an intimate setting. Service was great. They were able to get us our food relatively quickly after we placed our orders. They start you off with a nice little sauce plate with their complimentary homemade pita bread and four different types of sauce. Their tomato based sauce was definitely our favorite. For our appetizer we got Laurie's salad. They make their own lemon tahini based vinaigrette that complements the salad very nicely. It was light, refreshing, and savory. Hummus the Works was excellent. It was spiced really well and topped with meat. It was a Mediterranean version of stuffed nachos. The lamb kebab was not actually a kebab. It was blended with wagyu but still very soft, tender, and tasty. Overall, this was delicious and we left full and satisfied. You should definitely check this place out if you happen to be in town!

    I loved this place and its homey vibes. I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food and this place was so fresh and delicious! My friend and I visited for lunch and were greeted and sat without a wait or reservation. We were very quickly served a sample of the homemade sauces on a plate to taste before we chose our meals. I really liked the white one and the red one (can't remember their names), and our server was able to tell me which dishes had more of those sauces/were made around those flavors. I will say the menu felt limited! We had a hard time figuring out what to order, but ended up with the hummus plate and a salad to share and it was plenty for us! The beef and lamb were really savory. I'd like to go back for a dinner meal & try out another dish! Side note: the bathroom was so cute and had a great smelling candle lit which added to the ambiance of the place.

    Eggplant Tahini Chips
    Maitina M.

    We had reservations for lunch at Cafe Dimona to celebrate a friend's birthday. We decided to go with their shareables and one entree. We ordered the eggplant tahini chips (good but a bit too salty), fries, hummus, children tenders & fresh cut fries (they were out of the schnitzel) and the falafel entree. I really enjoyed everything we ordered with the exception of the eggplant chips. They were good but as mentioned, they were a bit too salty. Service was spot on. We were well attended and the owner/manager also made it a point to check on our group. The place itself is nice and cozy. It's an older house that was converted into a restaurant. The decor is well thought through. This place is well worth a visit.

    Sauce sampler with warm pita. Complementary to new customers. I'll forever be "new"!

    I need 6 stars to give! Get in your car!!! Chandra met us at the door and served us expertly through our meal. The cafe is a converted house... absolutely lovely inside! We enjoyed an early lunch that started with Turkish coffee which was luscious. Because it was our first time we received a sauce and pita sampler: lemon kavush, tahini, matbuha, and shug. I loved them all but especially the tahini and the matbuha which is tomato-based. The shug was really good too... think pesto. Together my sisters and I ordered the lamb and wagyu kebabs, the wine braised short rib cigars, hummus the works, Israeli salad, baba ganoush, falafel, and dessert (discussed below). Y'all, when I say good I mean amazingly good! All of it! Even though we were very full we succumbed to dessert, a chocolate babka which was a warm hazelnut chocolate challah pastry, 4 slices with vanilla ice cream, sweet lord! We also shared a brown butter walnut cookie, pure heaven. Such a special place. I asked if they had an empty bedroom, lol!

    Wow! Wow! Wow! This place truly lives up to the hype! My hubby and I were in Fredericksburg and were about to go to one of our regular spots but came across this treasure! We were seated and shortly after were given a basket of bread with a sample platter of four dips: 1. Lemon kavush-10/10 amazing 2. Tahini- 7/10 decent 3. Matbuha- 10/10 delicious 4. Shug- 10/10 need on everything! (The bread was good but it would've been better if it was warm.) We wanted to try as much as possible so we order a ton of different items! Hummus the works, absolutely a must. Creamy hummus with juicy lamb and beef, zesty lemon, perfect with the hot pita, though they only give you one pita and you clearly need more than that so order extra, OR we chose to order the market vegetables instead of more bread, which was the right move! We also ordered falafel, the yogurt with chives, lamb kabobs, and Israeli salad. We also got the mint iced tea which was so perfect to wash it all down. I wanted to order the orange blossom cake but they just sold out and I wanted to cry! So we ended up getting the pistachio white chocolate cookie. Everything was top notch! The food, the service, the decor! Perfect for date night or just no reason other than wanting amazing food!

    Stopped here for brunch on our way back from Fredericksburg and really enjoyed the experience overall. The Middle Eastern dishes like shakshuka and challah were flavorful, and the mint tea was incredibly refreshing! The atmosphere was cozy and service was generally good. One small disappointment: we were planning a surprise birthday celebration, but the server asked about it in front of the birthday girl, which took away from the surprise. Still, a lovely spot with great food and warm vibes!

    New Name is Selda Mediterranean Kitchen. But they're still every bit as amazing. Sooo goood!…read more We ate family style and tried a ton of dishes. They nailed every one! We left quite stuffed and extremely satisfied. It was a nice day so we ate outside but the interior was very pleasant and was filled with diners even at 2 pm. Everything here is fresh, perfectly seasoned, healthy and oh-so-tastey. This place was recommended to me by a fellow foodie and Yelper, and we're very grateful for the recommendation. This was the perfect birthday lunch for me.

    I came to this new spot (3 months open) on Sunday to check out the new kids, and I am so glad I…read moredid. Upon entry, my guest and I were greeted promptly and invited to sit anywhere we liked. My guest and I immediately noticed the traditional Turkish aromatics that filled the establishment. The waitress who tended to our table was engaging and explained the menu in depth as well as vouched for the food's authenticity. As my guest and I wanted to try multiple menu items, we elected to order the dishes that offered an array of food. Appetizer: Cold Platter This dish included hummus, babaganoush, dolma, ezme, and piyaz. The plater was properly "stacked" with the flavors of the app. going from "punchy" to mild. The piyaz was a perfectly balanced white bean salad packed with Mediterranean flavors. This combination of white beans, tomatoes, onions, and parsley was simple and yet deliciously satisfying! The dolma on this dish was a perfect combination of filling vegetables, grape seeds, Rumex, hornbeam, and quince leaves, with a kick of lemon. The babaganoush was light and refreshing. The simple combination of roasted eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt is something that is not to be missed if you are looking for a vitamin packed dip. The Ezme "mashed" was made mainly with tomatoes, cucumber, and olive oil and packed a little punch, which most likely was accredited to the peppers. Main: Hot Mixed Platter This dish included meatballs, chicken, beef, and lamb (doner) atop veggies and rice. All the meats on the plate were seasoned to perfection and tender. My guest and I ate the meats so quickly that I am not able to appropriately describe the flavors other than with the a word, "delectable". Dessert: Dessert Platter This platter had a sampling of Tiramisu, čupavci, KÜnefe, and Baklava. Although the čupavci and KÜnefe looked great, I couldn't eat them as they both are made with coconuts (to which I am allergic). I actually took a bite of the KÜnefe before I realized that it had coconut shavings in it. With this dessert, the cheese is arranged between two layers of Kadayıf (shredded phyllo), cooked until golden, and soaked in a sweet syrup. The čupavci (sponge cake) was soaked in chocolate sauce, then dipped in unsweetened, shredded coconut. Fun fact: Čupavci means "furry" because of the fuzzy surface the coconut provides, which I learned when I visited Turkey many years ago. Java Folks who read my reviews know that I am a java junkie. So, of course, I requested the Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is prepared with more water than its Italian counterparts and is meant to be sipped rather than drunk quickly like a shot. There is also a tradition of reading the grinds at the bottom of the cup to tell fortunes, known as tasseography. Turkish coffee cups are small, similar to the size of an espresso cup, but with a rich history of their own. This coffee is prepared traditionally and provided a much needed pick me up. This family restaurant has authentic quality food and the highest level of service. If in the area, this locally owned spot is worth a try. Total for the meal before tip $89.00 #supportlocal

    Don't let this small store fool you.... The food was delicious, well seasoned and perfectly cooked…read more I didn't get a picture, but they have the self serve beer tap which I thought was cool. The best part though.... The service. We had the privilege of being served by Becca. I don't know if I've ever met a happier person with such a beautiful personality. She made sure my buddies food was cooked properly because of a food allergy. She made a few wonderful suggestions to me and made sure I had all the sauces for my kabobs. She stopped by to make sure we were happy with everything a few times. She truly made the experience better a billion times over.

    I've been coming to Mosaic since the very beginning around 3-4 times a month. I'm sad to say that…read moretoday will be my final day here. The reasons have kind of been piling up over the year, but enough is enough. - I don't understand why the charge for extra sauce is 75 cents to $1. The amount of sauce provided is just never enough - My signature dish here is the fish and chips. Today, they were completely over cooked - very dark on the outside. - The fries were not cooked long enough and I could be wrong, but it seems like the types of fries used here changes all the time - The entire staff (even the guy in the kitchen) are staring at their cell phones. I wanted to take a picture, but didn't want to violate privacy concerns - I miss the weekly specials - it's what drew me here in the beginning. - I've had several of the other dishes, but they just didn't "wow" me. The burger is way too messy, the wraps fall apart after a few bites, and the chicken shawarma requires sauce to have any kind of flavor. I'm sorry to have to stop coming - the owners used to be here all the time, but now it seems like it's just kids running the place. Time to find the next hole in the wall that I like to eat and work at. Respectfully, Marc
