    I passed by this restaurant and wanted to try some Turkish food. The lamb chops were so well seasoned. The rice and salad were delish as well. I've gone back twice already. Easily a new favorite.

    Stuffed dates appetizer
    John J.

    This review is for takeout only. I tried a few of my favorites for takeout; Spicy Ezme and lamb shish. The Ezme was delicious and very fresh but takeout did not include table bread that you usually use to dip in the Ezme. The way it was provided, the only way to eat it is with a spoon, I guess, like a cold soup. The lamb shish was not as tender, and the bread was tough and chewy. Very hard to chew. Ordering lamb shish in the restaurant was a completely different and much more delicious experience; especially when the bread is fresh and hot. The cheese pide was delicious. The cheese was flavorful, and the bread was flavorful and tender. I would order it again. Dessert was the best thing we ordered. The Apple baklava is just amazing and I can't recommend it enough. Although I seemed to remember when I had this at the restaurant, it came with a scoop of ice cream, which is not probably feasible for to go. I guess the bottom line is I will look forward to when I return to Selda restaurant, but it's unlikely I will order takeout again given this experience.

    Traditionally huge fan of Selda. Everyone is really nice, great customer service although service can be a bit slow at times, and amazing food. The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor patio which are both beautifully designed. They usually bring complimentary bread and a sort of sour cream cheese which is truly amazing. I got their soup and Urfa Kebob that comes with rice as well as side bean salad. The flavors are just amazing. For dessert I got tea and tried out their Bakhlava as well as cake. The cake and the bakhlava were a bit sweet for me but it also tasted amazing. Overall great experience and I highly recommend this restaurant and its location.

    I was a little disappointed in this place. Very pretty patio, and the bread was phenomenal! And the soup was tasty, the salad fresh. But gosh the mains were such a letdown. Overcooked and boring. Would just stick to the bread and apps if I ever return!

    Beef Shish, Meat Pide, Lamb Shank
    Erika O.

    Such a cute place. The patio is fun and charming, a great date night spot. I ordered the lamb shank and it was so tender it fell off the bone. The bean salad is fresh and flavorful. The complimentary pita bread is. Try a pide, we got the meat one. Our server was very nice and service overall was fast. Didn't wait long for our food. Walked by the dessert fridge on our way out, and dang. Should have gotten the pistachio cheesecake. Next time!

    Branzino, chicken kebab, lamb
    Derek M.

    Couldn't have been better, really. Love the casual atmosphere, while keeping the food and service top-notch. Allergens were clearly marked, food came out within minutes of being ordered, and everything just stood out as extremely flavorful of perfectly executed. Their desserts also looked amazing. I can see why they're doing so well, and have expanded to multiple other businesses and locations.

    Beet Salad, Shrimp Garlic, Halloumi Cheese, Tzatziki (Cacik), Hummus, Fried Cauliflower. Grilled Eggplant Salad

    BRAVO! Absolute perfection. This was our appetizer order pictured, we also ordered the Beyti Special and Pistachio San Sebastin cheesecake with Turkish coffee! A showstopper to say the least!

    Another 5-star experience for us. My kids beg to come to this restaurant every chance they get. Most of us are sold on the lamb chops but my husband gets the beef shish. I really do come for the Spicy Ezme while my kids are there for the large Kunafe. Almost with Turkish tea. Always amazing. See you guys next time!

    Lamb Chops
    Catherine F.

    I wanted to love it given all the fantastic reviews, but the lamb chops that I ordered weren't as flavorful and filling as expected. Perhaps since my party was seated outside on the patio, we also barely received any service despite coming at a less busy time.

    Out of town catering spread - beef and chicken kebab
    Natalie F.

    Selda is the best Turkish restaurant in the metroplex - we all know that so I wanted to take a moment to give them their flowers from a different perspective. We had a family trip where we would be lounging all day and night by the pool. We wanted to provide a no hassle meal for our huge group for one night. My husband worked with Vedat to plan the best option since we would be grilling ourself. They prepared the juiciest marinated chicken and beef kebabs. We are not grill masters in any way, shape or form - but these kebabs came out so good. Full credit to Selda. The portions were perfect - we even had leftovers for lunch the next day. They also provided bread and sides which everyone was obsessed with. A lot of our family had not tried Turkish food before and they loved every bite and came back for seconds. The staff was also so kind to help us load the car. This is a great option if you have an out of town gathering and want to feed a large group. Thanks so much to the Selda team!

    Lamb chop entree with rice and what was supposed to include a salad .
    Michele M.

    Lamb chops were bland and they forgot to include the salad that came with the order. The rice had flavor. They have several locations and this seemed to be a very busy spot. I am a firm believer in, "The first impression is the last impression."

    Fried Cauliflower
    Ludovica F.

    This restaurant was recommended to us by a dear friend who had lived in Turkey for many years. As a result, we were very excited to try it out! Safe to say that we were not at all disappointed by this restaurant!! We decided to try all the small plates, such as cigar borek, falafel, feta cheese and olives, as well as the fried cauliflower and they were all incredible! My very favorite was the fried cauliflower! Highly recommend trying it. The best way to end the meal is with the pistacchio cheesecake! It was a perfect blend of pistacchio flavor without overwhelming the palate! I can't give enough stars to this restaurant! Please come try it and see for yourself!

    Grilled Eggplant Salad
    Ajay G.

    Had a fantastic Friday night dinner here! Definitely plan to make a reservation if you want to come during peak dinner hours on a Friday. I didn't see a single empty seat! Spicy Ezme - this was my favorite thing here! Loaded with flavor and spice. A great dip for the bread! Grilled Eggplant Salad - another great dip! It was cool and reminded me of babaganoush Hummus - it was good! Not the best hummus I've ever had, but I still enjoyed it Fried Cauliflower - crispy and tasty! Drizzled with a nice sauce and easy to share! Chicken Shish - tasty chicken cubes with Turkish rice! They were marinated well and cooked very tender. Lamb Shish - small lamb bites that came with bread! I don't eat lamb often, but I did like the lamb here! Cooked very well. If you're looking for an authentic Turkish or Mediterranean meal in the north Dallas area, it's hard to beat Selda!

Service is laid back, they're not too overly attentive bc like I said most people are there to vibe and chill a while - so they're not hounding you to pay/leave, which is nice.. you can easily wave them over when you need service, etc. This is a solid date night spot, weekday or weekend conversation spot, have visitors in from out of town (you can see the skyline but also still close to the bar areas).

We arrived early so the restaurant was not too busy but it started to fill by the time we left. The ambience remains upscale casual with a gracious greeting as you enter. We were given one of the half moon booths that faced outward to the restaurant. I ordered the hummus as a starter and it was very good. It's a mild hummus without a strong garlic element. It was very enjoyable. The wife started with babaganoush and loved it. The dip was smoky and very flavorful. For entrees, the kid had the Caesar salad and ate everything except the croutons. The wife had the spiced meatballs and loved them. The meat was tender and the sauce was very rich. I had the chicken kabob and I was in heaven. The kabob took quite a while to prepare, but it was worth the wait. The chicken was well marinated and very flavorful. Best of all, it had a smoky flavor from the char, but the chicken remained tender and moist. It was phenomenal. I wish I could have that every night. It came with sautéed vegetables that were prepared perfectly. And it included a white rice that had a rich buttery flavor. We all enjoyed our meal very much and we were happy to return to this restaurant. I need to put it in the rotation more often.

I visited this restaraunt for the first time and genuinely enjoyed everything I ordered. Starting off with appetizers, my friend and I ordered the pan shared halloumi cheese. This is paired with tomatoes and fig jam and is a wonderful accompaniment to the complimentary bread and olives served for the table. I'm a big fan of halloumi in general but this one was particularly cooked well and a must order for next time. For main entree I ordered Hunkar Begendi, which is sautéed marinated lamb tenderloin with red and green bell peppers over creamy eggplant puree. The lamb was in fact tender and perfectly seasoned and the eggplant puree went very well with the slight gaminess of the meat. I enjoyed this dish overall and it didn't feel too heavy, which sometimes is the case when I eat lamb. The pieces of meat were cut small enough while not being super tough, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend this restaraunt if you enjoy trying Mediterranean fusion spots!

We arrived as a party of five on a medium-busy Sunday evening. The tables were a reasonable distance apart, and the noise level was also fair. The food was delicious. Having not experienced authentic Turkish food before, the mention of authenticity made my group eager to give Cafe Istanbul a try. Ordering was painless and easy. There are entrees for individual meals and easy options for groups to share family-style, which we opted for. We ordered an appetizer platter with beef meatball, baba ganoush, hummus, and phyllo borek (ground beef with spices and onions inside a deep-fried phyllo wrapper). It was a bit odd that there were different amounts of each (2 meatball, 4 phyllo borek, and dollops of baba ganoush and hummus were only enough to get a small taste each) but it was balanced out by the portion size of the entree. For the entree, we opted for the mixed grill plate to share. It had chicken shish kebab, lamb kebab, adana kebab (ground lamb, pepper, and spices), grilled chicken wings, and chicken beyti (ground chicken and spices, grilled). This was served with rice and red cabbage on the side. Individually, each amount seemed small, but given that this plate was meant for two, we were still pleasantly full after polishing this off. Everything was well seasoned. The meat was juicy and perfectly cooked. I'd especially recommend the chicken beyti. The here service was swift and outstanding. We were quickly offered menus, waters, and utensils. Our waters were refilled quickly, and the kitchen took our request to plate the lamb separately in stride. The moment after my fork fell to the ground, a member of their serving staff swooped to fetch it (it was behind my chair) while another brought me a new one. It was a very well-rehearsed dance. Worth mentioning is also the fact that there were two separate groups dining that evening (a large family, and a group of friends) to celebrate a birthday. This is a restaurant worthy of birthday celebrations :) Overall, the portions are decent and filling, the food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. Consider visiting this restaurant next time you're in the area; you'll be glad that you did!
