Went to Mayor’s house and had an amazing time. The service was great and there was no wait time. Got the mermaid drink and had caramel chocolate that was given to us to try and it was 10/10. Highly recommend for a chill night or gen fancy dinner. They do have a dress code for those planning to dine inside. Great ambiance and they do have hookah for people that are interested in it
Lindsay was fantastic! She knew the menu inside and out, made great recommendations, and her service was prompt and attentive—especially impressive since we had a large table. We celebrated two birthdays and she helped make the experience amazing. Truly top-notch service!
I can see why this place has such a high rating. We went there for dinner one night, and everything was great. First of all the restaurant itself has a really cool atmosphere and vibe. It looks like it’s in a really old house that’s been turned into a restaurant. Our server was brand new, but very sweet and very helpful. What she didn’t know she was happy to find out. The food was excellent. I wish I could tell you what we ordered, but I have no idea what it was called. The appetizer was especially delicious. It was kind of like an egg roll on the outside and filled with some type of cheese. That is a terrible description. Lol. And the drinks and the entrées were also delicious. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the dessert. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and relatives.
One of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. So cozy. The ambiance is amazing with Turkish music. Everyone working there is so friendly! The food is phenomenal. My favorite dish here is Ali Nazik. The food is beautifully served. I make the drive to Dallas just for the food yum!
We’re fans of Selda so we were excited to experience some top tier Turkish cuisine in a unique setting. This used to be the house of the mayor of Oak Cliff almost a century ago, hence the name of the restaurant. If you’re familiar with Selda, the menu is largely the same with some minor tweaks. You need to get the Fried Cauliflower, Lamb Shank, and the Beef Shish, Lamb Shish and any of the Pide (flatbread). The portions are more than generous and the prices are surprising. You’re going to get a lot of value regardless of whatever you get! Be sure to leave room for their Baklava. Theirs is the best in the metroplex!
