Sevin Mediterranean Kitchen

Oh my gosh, the food was incredible. We had just spent 8 hours on the road, got off the road for our hotel, and grabbed the first restaurant that we saw. We hit the jackpot.

Upon entering, you will be welcomed into this inviting space, by the owners. We picked where we wanted to be seated, and it was beautiful with cloth napkins, candle, and a nice ambiance. It is perfect for conversing with your dining partner(s), not too loud, easy listening ethnic music in the background which fades into the overall scene. There are beautiful images of different regions and cities of Turkey on the walls. Everything on the menu looked delightful, we selected the cold plate appetizer, the platter for two, and also the dessert sampler. Even the water was good!
My husband and I were very impressed with the service of the husband and wife, who described every menu item that we questioned. We asked for suggestions, and they happily and kindly explained what most people desire, upon their first visit.
The cold plate included hummus, yogurt dip, and other wonderful sauces and navy beans. Courtney B. describes it with proper names and terms in her review. The bread is perfectly baked, with tasteful sesame seeds, and golden warmth. Our main dish, which was the platter for two, was beautifully presented on a wooden tray. Various meats, salad, and vegetables were all delicious! Dessert, baked by owner (wife) was a sampler of many wonderful pastries, including Baklava and more. It was the perfect touch to end an amazing dinner! Everything is home-made from family recipes. We had enough delicious food to take some home for the next day's lunch! We cannot wait to visit again!

Had dinner tonight and can't recommend this gem enough. Lovely restaurant. Service great. Food great. We did the Mixed grill for 2 and loved it. If you want to try a wide variety of dishes, this will satisfy.

Started with a complimentary bread w/ labneh appetizer. Delish. The meats were delicious along with grilled onions , rice , bread, and two sauces. More labneh and a really hot one that is addictive! Too full for dessert, but next time! You will not leave hungry or disappointed.

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!

Absolutely delicious Tastes just like food in Turkey, a meal to remember! Love the ambiance, very clean and fresh

Fabulous food and
spectacular service!
Our 2nd visit was even better than one first.
So welcoming and gracious!

This place is so amazing!! From the great food, to the amazing service, and the ambiance of the whole restaurant. The best Mediterranean food in San Antonio! Located at a great location with great employees and service! If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would!
Bring your family and friends to this restaurant and you will have an overall great experience. Everything was so amazing

I came to this new spot (3 months open) on Sunday to check out the new kids, and I am so glad I did. 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

First time coming here and def wont be the last! The food was amazing and great service! We both got the beef plate and tried different desserts! Will be back again soon!

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!
