This place has been on my list for years and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t get here sooner. It is delightful! From the warm welcome to the Turkish coffee & to-die-for baklava, our group of 5 enjoyed a lovely and memorable lunch. The generous amount of gyro meat was thinly sliced and deliciously seasoned. Salads were very fresh with a traditional, light dressing. In particular our group gave high praise to the Shepherd Salad and the Vegetarian combo, but we’ll all be back soon for the baklava! It is ridiculously good and made with pistachios. What a treat! Next time I go back I’ll take pictures. Prices were very reasonable. The place is cozy so I recommend making a reservation or catching lunch there mid-week when it’s less busy downtown. Take out seems a popular option as well based on the orders I saw going out the door. If you’ve been sleeping on this one like I was, get over there and support this local, family owned business.

Authentic Mediterranean, great atmosphere, excellent pricing. Black Sea Grill is a hidden gem for authentic Turkish food with a great location, service, and atmosphere. Can’t believe we’ve walked passed it so many times. It’s in our top 3 for local restaurants now! Try the Turkish wine!

I can’t rave enough about this restaurant. This was my first time here and I was absolutely impressed! The service was awesome! Our server, who I’m sure is the owner, was incredibly friendly and personable. He helped us navigate the menu. The food was impeccable! The lamb chops were like butter! Very delicious! If you choose the dine here I strongly recommend a reservation as there are few tables. We unfortunately witnessed many people get turned away without reservations.

Outstanding service and food. I ordered the surf & turf and that was amazing. Don’t forget to order the desert which was to die for! It was nice meeting the owners too. I highly recommend this restaurant.

In my opinion one of the best places to eat in Wilmington. Grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. Salad was refreshing and the dressing was to die for! We spoke with the owner while we were there and he was super friendly as well. Highly recommend this place.

To start the school year off right I pampered myself today with a Black Sea Grill, combo, and a dessert. Self-care is the best care and their food is authentic clean eating and delicious.!

What!! The only thing that is upsetting is that I did not find this place earlier. This place has authentic Turkish food 10 out of 10 no issues at all. Everything was perfectly cooked. Just like it would’ve been in turkey. This is the best Mediterranean food that I’ve eaten in Wilmington

It’s a old place that is trying to keep the lights on! There is nothing Mediterranean/ Turkish about this place. We went for lunch week of 7/12 on Wednesday. I ordered Chicken Kabobs plate with salad and chicken Shawarma. It was served with overcooked plain white rice like how you would go to a Chinese restaurant. And then the taziyiki sauce was made of like a low fat powdered yogurt or something, there was nothing Turkish about it. The chicken kabobs themselves were just charred to look like roasted and skewered but had no real flavor to it. The salad did not even had a good dressing and sub standard quality. I miss a Middle Easter restaurant in Wilmington. As a resident there is no good option here. Am not sure people who are giving 5 stars understand or have had authentic middle easter food or not. Who serves plain white over boiled rice ? Lol! Not Mediterranean places.

11/22/19 First time to try this very cozy restaurant located in Downtown Wilmington. We came in for dinner and the menu might seem limited but it has a little bit of everything; from appetizers, dessert, seafood, main entrees… Yum yum yummy! I wanted to try everything. The hummus is fresh and calamari is perfectly cooked. We ordered the mahi and lamb and it was tasty and delicious! Everything was great and cooked to perfection! It is family owned and we met Mr. Jem one of the owners and he is the most humble and very friendly person. This is now one of our favorite stops whenever we visit Wilmington. MUST try!
