Had such an incredible meal that I can't stop thinking about it even the day after, so I had to leave a review. The app sampler really opened my eyes beyond the hummus standard and paired well with the complimentary bread basket but even better with the entree when it arrived. The mixed plate was next level, with all the meats juicy and full of flavor. My personal favorite was the chicken shish kebab. I will definitely be going back regularly, and it's going to be difficult to order anything else. read more

Chef’s Table - Mixed plate for one w/appetizer sampler. - Mediterranean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Food was amazing! Light fixtures make you feel you are in Turkeye. I always like these kind of light fixtures. We ordered mixed grill for 2, and beef/lamb pide. They were both very good. The pide bread has a nice crust and gave the satisfying crunch when you bite into it. I can eat just the bread alone. But as you bite the portion with the cheese and meat, wow!! It's awesome! All the grilled meats were very tasty. Usually chicken is the least tasty in Mediterranean grill but over here they really know what they were doing. Happy with our selections. Complimentary bread and dip is a plus. The dip is really good. Too bad the server couldn't tell the name of this dip, he just said it's house made. They can certainly create a name to avoid confusion. Service can be improved, thus 4 stars. 1. The store is open until 9pm but kitchen is closed at 8:15om. I see a few people got turned away because the sign said they were open but they can't take their order? What are people supposed to do if they come at 8:15 and get in? Have a drink? They have no alcohol license yet as of July 2026. I don't know if they have food that's microwaveable that can be served after 8:15. 2. They don't provide water unless you ask, they only have water bottle for $1 each. They could have said this when they take your order: "Anything to drink?" But they don't ask if you want anything to drink at all. I saw other tables also don't have a drink. read more

After visiting Turkey last winter, the desire to find a local and authentic Turkish restaurant has recently been on my mind. Chef's Table was our choice and it deserved a Chef's kiss. The eggplant starter was a good way to fire up our tastebuds. For entrees, I went with the Mixed Gill for one and wifey added the Iskender Kabob, which we just ended up pushing to the middle of the table to share. The combination of spiced meats and vegetables was delicious and worth the try. The Yelp pictures show a full on bakery, however this is misleading because the extensive selections are actually at the restaurant owner's other place, La Cafe, and not here. So we passed on dessert and opted to drive another 10 minutes away to Baklava Bakery for a wider selection of choices. The inside of the restaurant is a bit small and modest, but comfortable enough to enjoy a hearty meal. read more

Chef’s Table - Beef and Lamb Doner Plate. - Mediterranean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food here is amazing and SOO flavorful! We got the lamb chops for around $30 which comes with 4 lamb chops, rice, and a salad. Definitely a bit more expensive than I would have preferred. We had 2 orders of the lamb chops and we noticed that some pieces were just wayyyy smaller than others. I don't think $30 is justiced for 4 small, uneven pieces but they did taste really good and cooked well. The hummus was also really good, and fresh. One of the better house made hummuses I've had. It only came with the hummus so we had to ask for more bread with the hummus. There was only 1 server when we went and all the tables were full so service was really really slow. I did like the interior decor of the resteraunt, it felt very calm and relaxing. Overall, the food was really good but way too expensive. It was nearly $100 for 2 of us. read more

I love this place . The food is amazing and the services just great . I have visit this place in many occasions, and never disappointed me. read more

LOCATION: Super pretty, well-decorated spot in an unassuming location very close to 410. The place is not very big, but feels comfortably intimate with a nice vibe. Service was great with very friendly people. FOOD: Starting with the bread and ezme dip is perfect. It was delicious for a free starter. Slightly spicy, exceedingly savory, and a good richness with the olive oil. Mains that my wife and I had were both delicious. The Turkish bread they use for the pides is just phenomenal. You can eat it by itself, but the cheese and meat just take it to another level. The lamb shish was also so good. Meat was not very gamey and was just CRAZY tender. Salad was mot bad either, but the meat stole the show. Plus, good portions allowed my wife to have leftovers which were so good the next day. 100% recommend Chef's Table. We are excited to go back and try more stuff read more

Our server, Talha, was fantastic and took the time to walk us through the menu and break down the options, which we really appreciated. The complimentary homemade bread and dipping sauce were amazing to start. We tried the Chicken Döner Pide (their specialty pizza). A must-try! & the chicken Tava (stew) was so incredibly flavorful. I took leftovers of the chicken Tava home and was literally dreaming about it later... it was that good. This is definitely my new go-to spot in town! read more

Had high hopes but this place falls short. Dont order through seamless like I did. They don't use them anymore and when you get there they don't even know you ordered and have to wait while they make it. Food didn't have much flavor to me. For the price I'd expect my socks to be knocked off. Unfortunately not worth it to me. At least I can say I tried it. Can you? read more

The food was delicious! We got the mixed grill plate. The chicken kebab was notably amazing! I was surprised how good it was! Everything else was also very good. I usually am not the biggest fan of lamb, but I found it very good! The bread also was shocking of how good it was. I highly recommend this place! Very friendly staff as well! My one complaint is that they don't give out water that isn't bottled. However, most places end up just giving tap water without notifying you it is tap water so I can understand this and would rather just not be given tap water. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with beautiful Turkish lamps and a relaxed, friendly vibe. The staff were so kind and attentive, making the experience even better. I ordered the veggie casserole, which was a perfect vegan option -- hearty, flavorful, and full of fresh vegetables. My husband had the mixed grill for one along with the baba ghanoush, and everything was cooked perfectly with great smoky flavor. The warm bread that comes to the table is incredible and pairs beautifully with the dips. Reservations are definitely a good idea during peak hours (like Friday night) because it fills up quickly. Overall, delicious food, great service, and such a welcoming atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back! read more

Well, what a delightful treat! San Antonio finally has an authentic Mediterranean restaurant that's good! The food was super fresh and came out piping hot. Every dish was packed with flavor including my friend's dish, chicken tava. I really enjoyed their Babaganoush with the deliciously hot bread that came with it. So yummy it has my mouth watering as I type this. Service was excellent. Attentive and prompt. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

This place was a great experience. I started with Dolma and Hummus. Hummus was good and they provided bread and a red chili sauce. Dolma was amazing, best I've ever had. Hummus was good and I really liked the chili sauce. I ordered the lamb chops comes with rice and a salad. Ordered the chops medium rare and they came out slightly over cooked. They were still extremely good, as well as the rice. I finished with Baklava, comes with 3 pieces, very good. However, I should have went to where they sell the baklava, they have a separate entry to the dessert area and it's called Turkish delights. They had so many amazing looking desserts, including a Dubai pudding. Service was adequate but not great as it is a family owned business and there was just two people. The restaurant is decorated with Turkish pictures and is pleasant. Would highly recommend this place read more

Nice clean cozy restaurant. With limited seating, and delicious clean food. They are able to accommodate larger parties as well.

The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive. My only disappointment was canned and bottled drinks. read more

Wish I had come to this place earlier. It has a small diner and the parking is a little hard since its shared with a Starbucks. So be ready! ...Once inside the place is really beautifully decorated. The staff sat us right away and brought some bread with the chef sauce which was delicious! I ordered the Chicken Sharma also very flavorful. MY friend ordered a lentil soup that look delicious. For dessert, I ordered the Turkish coffee and we split the Pistachio Baklava which was in perfect bite sizes. The Turkish coffee is not for the faint of heart...but great if your trying to avoid the 230pm feeling... read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant since they have so many great reviews anddddddd overall it was a good experience. I visited on a Saturday evening and we were able to be seated quickly. The restaurant was full, a good sign of the quality of the food. We enjoyed the complimentary bread and dipping sauce. The bread was freshly baked and pillowy soft on the inside. The dipping sauce had a slight spice to it, which paired well with the bread. My parents ordered the baba ghanoush, which my mom really enjoyed! As for our food, it was served hot and presented well. I found the chicken skewers to have a great flavor to them and the rice was delicious as well. The side salad had a light dressing on top, which was perfect considering the bold flavors of the main dish. My dad and grandpa ordered a mixed plate with lamb and beef. They enjoyed the food, but found no difference or way to differentiate between the sliced lamb/beef on their platters. My mom ordered the dumplings and she said they were quite tasty! Overall the food was good and the service was quick. I would say the interior is in need of a facelift and a deep clean, as our booth and chairs were quite stained and worn thin. Overall, they have great food, but I will most likely be ordering for pick up to eat at home for all future orders from Chefs Table. read more

My family came here while visiting San Antonio based on the reviews, but overall we left dissapointed. The mixed dip appetizer was okay, though my wife and her parents who are from Iraq weren't too impressed with the hummus, and the babaghanouj was very yogerty instead of mainly eggplant which was the first time I ever had it like that & wished it was how it's typically served. The plate was also very small for being $15. For the entree we got 2 mixed grills for 2 and this was the biggest area of dissapointment. When the entree is $56 each you expect the meats to all be cooked-to-order and skewers of various types of meat; atleast anywhere we've ever ordered for that price. Instead, the primary bulk of meat is the chicken and gyro meat cut from the rotisserie, which was barely warm and quite dry. There were 2 lamb koftas that were delicious and clearly cooked very well, but the beef chunks were the worst of them all; super charred and incredibly chewy... I mean it when I say they were the most overcooked chunks of beef I've had in a lonng time if ever. Then the bill... apparently there's an auto-grat that's applied even though we were a table of 4, and ontop of THAT there's another like $7 added if you're not paying cash. In the end all of this almost came to $180... this was simply way too much for the quality of food and service. read more

Went on a weekday for lunch. Received quick service and the waiter answered all our questions. There's seating inside and a couple cafe tables outside. The food was very fresh and delicious.

Wow, how have we not be here before. You will have a journey to Turkey with the decor, smells,and foods. The service was excellent!! It was I think the owner or manager servicing all the tables and he was on top of things. The ice tea was made to perfection and the food was flavorful. We had the appetizer sampler with 4 choices which allowed us to try the different it's such as BabaGanesh, hummus, dolmas and a red spread (I don't recall the name). The plate for two was a huge plate with various meats, rice and salad. This meal is a great option to try a little of everything. We can't wait until we return. read more

Every single thing looked and smelled delicious, so I couldn't decide on what to eat and just went for the mixed plate for one... it was definitely enough for dinner with leftovers for lunch the next day, though!! The coffee was delicious! They start you off with a bread basket that has a delicious dipping sauce. Don't sleep on it! Soooo good! I tried the yogurt drink and quite honestly, it tastes like the liquid strained out of the cottage cheese with a bit of salt added to it. Take that as you will. I cannot wait to go back and try some more of the delicious options! The place is very cozy and comfortable on the inside. It is perfect for intimate group gatherings, solo dinners, or dates. read more

Loved this place! Chef's Table has such a cozy atmosphere. There is beautiful decor, like the fancy wooden chairs and intricate lamps. We started with the mix of 4 appetizers--Babaganoush, Lebni, Muammara, and a beet dip. My favorite was the beet dip. Everything was super flavorful, and the complimentary bread was perfect for dipping. For mains, we had the Chicken Doner, Chicken Doner Pide, Iskender Kebab, and Beyti Kebab. Every dish was so good! The meats were tender and seasoned well. Service was also friendly, fast, and super attentive. read more

We have friends who said it was amazing so we finally tried it and it was not great at all. It wasn't even worth the price. We got the food to go and maybe that was the problem? The restaurant was pretty inside but on the friendly scale it was about a 3/10 - that's when we should have known it would have been wise to leave. We had to ask twice to place an order and then it was ready in less than 10 minutes - again we should have known something was up. I ordered dolmas and they were delicious, tiny but super yummy - I do recommend those. I ordered the falafel plate but only got a side which was 4 falafel and side salad (it was really just cabbage and a few carrots, no dressing) - do not recommend. We ordered some calamari and just don't, it was swimming in grease with the same "side salad." My husband got the beef plate and his came with rice but the beef was not good, and the "grilled veggies" were a half tomato and a sweet pepper with the same side salad mentioned earlier. $50 was not worth it to me, receipt is pictured. read more

We went there for my birthday dinner with work buddies and had a great time! Unfortunately, I think I ordered the wrong dish for my palate - I was between the Iskendar kebab (which I ended up ordering) and the lamb shish kebab. The Iskendar kebab was good, the meat was succulent but the overall tanginess of the dish didn't really appeal to me. Somebody else at our did get the lamb shish kebab so I ended up trying a bit of that, and I definitely liked it a lot more! So I know what I can order the next time now. This place definitely gives you value for money since the portion sizes are HUGE - the pide were a crowd favourite at our table, and so were the filo rolls as an appetizer. The restaurant is small, but with nice decor and enough seating that we didn't have much trouble being seated straight away as a party of 6 on a Friday night when we walked in! read more

Have came here 2 separate times. The first time I came for dinner on a Friday with a group of 4. Although they don't serve alcohol, they will accommodate you with wine glasses if you bring your own bottle. I came here the second time and this time invited a group of 11 for my bday lunch. They were great and very accommodating for our table. All of the food was delicious and everyone had nothing but great things to say about their plate. I visited Turkey over the summer and once going; I can attest that this place does a great job showcasing the highlights of Turkey. From the food to the lamps to the Turkish tea, they were all spot on. 10/10, recommend! read more

We were greeted upon arriving, and the food was really delicious (rice and chicken kabab) but I would not recommend the calamari. It was super breaded and greasy. Overall, the restaurant is really small, but does have a calming and chill vibe. The only two things that I wish were better was that they would take care of whatever fruit flies we're flying around, which we're really annoying while I was trying to enjoy my meal and the service could be better. I ran out of water and nobody came by to check on us. After almost 2 hours of being in the restaurant, I had to flag somebody down to come check us out. read more

I begged and pleaded with misses to come and try Turkish food again. After the complete disaster that was the Turkic Festival, I didn't blame her for the apprehension in trusting me again. Not only did this place change her mind, we both fell in love with this place. It's a small cozy place. Our waiter was awesome! I always promise to get/remember names, I'm so sorry, but you were great! The bread they bring to your table and sauce was the PERFECT way to calm her nerves. It's was fresh, flavorful and dipped in the sauce just wow! We decided to start with falafel, and filo rolls. Again they knocked it out of the park. Both dipped in the yogurt sauce was a great way to start. The filo was just slightly better. Both still great. For our mains we had the chicken tava and mixed grill for one. This is food! Flavor, spice, and heart. You listening Turkic Festival! The rice was good! Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. All the meats in my dish were fantastic! I love lamb, and if you love lamb you will love this place too. The sauce from the Tava was flavorful and delicious! They will bring you more of the delicious bread if you let them, just becareful because it is filling! We were full, but said let's try desert. The best baklava I've ever had! We also had the Kazandibi. Think of Mexican flan, only better! The misses hates flan, but she absolutely loved this! Dang they are doing everything right here! The only slight gripe we had was the price. It's not too crazy expensive, but like I say, we pay for great food, and this was it! This easily now in our top ten places to eat! Can't wait to visit again we the whole gang(fam). If you're wondering why I keep mentioning the Turkic festival, look at my review for the raindrop foundation. read more
