    First timer platter 10/10
    Lexus M.

    This place is so amazing! Food, service, ambiance 10/10!! Definitely recommend! We ordered the recommended first timer platter and it did not disappoint! So good!!

    This place was such a unique and fun restaurant in San Antonio. The food was all fresh with amazing flavors and great ambiance. As other reviews mentioned, service was a little slow, but the waiters were super busy so it was understandable. Great place to go for cool vibes with something different! Little bakery next door with some really amazing looking desserts.

    First time trying this place out. A small restaurant. We had a short wait for our table; we waited in the pastry shop next door (connected to the restaurant) Of course Saturdays are always a busy time for restaurants. I had the chicken Shish Kabob which was quite delectable. Portion was ample. My dining guest had the Lamb & Beef Doner which was an ample portion. I saw plastic water bottles on the neighboring tables and thought it looked tacky. It kind of took away something from my dining experience. We tried the baklava (pistachios with filo pastry and butter syrup). Not really a fan of it... we will be returning to try other dishes.

    Great vibes. Great food. The meat, rice and salad Combo is perfect. We did beef and lamb. Even my son enjoyed all. It's a solid meal that could feed 2 with the entree if you aren't hungry or greedy af. It came with bread but they forgot the dipping sauce... bummer but my son still tore up. It's next door to a cafe and pastry shop. Great for your sweet tooth after such a wholesome meal. I'm adding them to my "ion feel like cookin" roster!

    Pretty slow service and not the most attentive but the food more than makes up for it. Their complimentary bread and dipping sauce is addictive, and everything I've ordered is consistently delicious. Plus, their portion sizes are huge! Just be aware that they do charge for water (they give you water bottles) so bring your own. I also love the abundance of Turkish decor in the restaurant. Favorites: mixed appetizers plate, chicken doner

    Is Iskender Kebab

    If you have not been to Chef's Table - go...now. I've been here twice now and both times have been Excellent!. Having spent a little time in Turkey (2 years) where I ate a lot of food I appreciate that eating here evoked so many memories of food shared with others. On our first visit, we started off with the mixed grill. Really loved the muammara, though the baba ganoush was also outstanding - and who can forget that bread! Its warm, and so good at soaking up pretty much anything. For my main, I had to get the lamb tava. You don't see this on a lot of menus in the US. This is flavorful, with bell pepper, onion, garlic, and tomatoes. It was perfect, truly warmed the soul. On the second visit I opted for the Iskender kabob. Lamb and beef thinly sliced layered over.....bread.....which soaked up all those juices. Again - perfect. Don't forget dessert (store next door, but connected). There is nothing better to end a great meal than a great dessert. I'm a huge fan of pretty much pistaciho anything. I think its times to plan another trip to SATX!

    This place is a MUST try. It's so beautifully decorated. Everyone is very friendly. The service is great and so is the food. We got the mixed grill for two and some appetizers. The crispy philo rolls are excellent the meat and chicken are so delicious. I've been craving this place every day since we went. 10/10 we will be back and recommending this place to everyone. Best meal I've had in a long time. Will be trying some desserts from their neighboring bakery next time. Everything looks amazing!

    I loved their fresh bread and baba ghanoush. I also got to try their Iskender kebab and it was pretty good as well. The fries were ok I feel like they could be a bit crispier. The workers were nice and the inside is so really unique. The food came out fast as well.

    My family and I stopped by for the first time and tried the falafel, Mediterranean salad, lamb chops, and the Dubai chocolate from the connecting place next door. The lamb chops were absolutely bomb and could give Chamagocha a real run for their money. The rice and salads were fresh, flavorful, and honestly exceeded my expectations. The falafel was decent, but next time I'm definitely going for the garlic shrimp instead. Overall, a great experience and I'd happily come back to try more.

    Chicken Doner Course

    An absolute gem of a place! From the moment you walk in, you see all the unique and cultural touches. Feels like you are transported to Turkey in the middle of San Antonio. Service was great & food came out quickly. Everything was super delicious.

    Spinach & Feta Pide
    Leila G.

    Tonight we tried this restaurant and it was amazing! The staff, the food, the location...everything was great! We've never had Turkish food before so we decided to be safe and order the pide. It's basically a Turkish pizza. My husband had a cheese pide and I had a spinach and feta pide. So flavorful and filling. The bread and dipping sauce they bring when you are seated was also fantastic. The sauce is spicy but not too spicy. It's a kind of sweet and salty and like nothing I've ever tried. They also have a Turkish coffee and dessert place connected. The pastries look like they are out of a magazine. So perfect looking. We went a little late in the evening so I didn't get to try the coffee but I definitely intend to the next time I come back.

    Chicken Iskender
    Kira W.

    So received a pop up ad for this place and decided to try it for dinner today. The food is oh-so flavorful. For appetizers we ordered the falafel and it was cooked to perfection. The fried cauliflower isn't quite fried but moreso boiled. My partner ordered chicken Iskender and the sauce mixed with the chicken was so good but add the crispiness? OMG so good. There was so much to choose from and I couldn't pick so my waitress picked for me (she didn't miss). I had the mix grill for one. All in all the jams in the restaurant are befitting for the ambiance of this place. Great for date night but also overall a great place! 10/10 highly recommend. Will be going back again!

    Babcock location
    Joan J.

    I hate to write this as I had such a great experience at the Babcock location. My family and I walked in to the Bandera location and as soon as we entered we were rudely greeted by an older woman because my sister walked straight to a table. She started pointing to a sign that was backwards by the way that said "please wait to be seated". Unfortunately we did see it because the sign was backwards and not facing the entrance. The woman then asked how many in our party. My sister told her that there are 8 in our party. She then, with an attitude, said I need to know how many kids and how many adults. I didn't understand why this was important as all the children needed a chair to sit in regardless. She kept going back to talk to a gentleman and he just told her to seat us. She then offered us two large seating areas and told us to choose which one. As soon as my sister chose the table on the right, she then suggested we take the table to the left instead. I don't even understand the purpose for giving us an option then suggest something else. My family and I just felt very uncomfortable in the 5 minutes we were in there. We ended up just walking out. I can only imagine how we would have been treated if we stayed. I hate to even write this because we have only positive experiences at the Babcock location and the food is delicious.

    This is what we ordered and it was excellent

    This was fantastic! And the interior decor was pretty cool with the Turkish chandeliers. The eggplant was great.

    FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Walked in on a whim after a bday dinner for the hubby at the Texas Roadhouse. I was in search of a sweet treat to celebrate at home and boy, was I ever in for a treat! THE LOCATION: in a bustling and popular shopping center with tons of parking, and other fun businesses, right off the 1604 in the Alamo Ranch area. I have no idea what to expect so I just burst thru the doors like I owned the joint ready to embrace something new. THE MENU: aside from some lovely beverages, the dessert offerings are pretty straightforward. CHEESECAKE!!! And in the best possible, gourmet, decadent way. My eyes were popping out of my head! THE SERVICE: Lucky for me, a very patient gentleman behind the counter was available to assist me during a lull. I'm very grateful for the time he took to answer all my questions. THE GOODS: I knew I wanted cheesecake tonight, but after watching those sweet treats watching me right back through a shield of glass, I understood that I NEEDED cheesecake, and stat! While there were sooo many flavors available in the jars, I wanted to eat cheesecake the traditional way; with a fork to slowly dissect and discover the flavors and texture of each layer. By all appearances, these treats are not your average cheesecake and I'm so intrigued. I choose one slice of each flavor available. At $9 per slice, I'm lucky there were only 3 flavors at this hour. Lol! The jars, btw, are $7 each. Now, I had to ask what ingredients were in each flavor becs there is no written description anywhere in the store. The names do no justice in identifying what you're getting either. Names like "Summer Daze" and "Midnight Berry" leave much to the imagination. Sure, you can see chocolate and/or raspberries, but believe me... you don't really know what treasure you've got until it's melting on your tongue. I can't get home quick enough to meet up with the hubby again. Yayyyyyy! Dessert!!! THE TASTES: Heaven. Nirvana. Jack standing at the bow, arms stretched wide shouting, "I'm the king of the world!" That. That's what it's like. And I literally dissected and analyzed each lovely layer, mostly fluffy, decadent mousse, creamy, cheesy and rich. The crust bottoms. Holy smokes! I actually avoid graham cracker crusts but not this one. A-MAZING. Another slice had a crisp shortbread-like crust. Like, WHO DOES THAT?! Omg. I gorged until I regretted rushing in. Total amateur move. I also secretly selected 2 of the 3 slices that I knew my hubby would turn his nose up to. HAHAHAHAHA! Joke's on him. Trust me. Seriously, trust me. If you love cheesecake, mousse, fresh and tart fruit flavors (like fresh fruits and lemon curd!), give a slice or jar a try. And try a lovely match drink, too. Maybe I'll see you there!

    Service was good Ambiance was nice…read more Food was small for the price Its ok...but for the price with everything being expensive its not necessarily worth it.

The first room you enter ...beware ...a large glass display counter that contained home made pastries all made fresh onsite! They even had a few gluten free items. I snatched a gluten free apple streudel and continued onto to the next small room where drinks can be purchased. Found out any drink can be made decaffeinated, sweeet, thank you! Ordered a decaf with oat milk and a few pumps of hazelnut. It was perfect! No after caffeine side effects noted. I also get a glimpse of the kitchen in between the 2 rooms, where all the goodies are made. There are two small indoor rooms with various seating arrangements and seating outdoors. We grabbed a small table for two inside. I thoroughly enjoyed my strudel and coffee. Note: they make and sell their own ground coffee with a special of buy 3 bags and get 1 free. T shirts are available for sale as well. All proceeds from sales goes to local fire and police departments! Come check them out!
