The Mayor's House By Selda

The large old house near the Bishop Arts District dates back to the 1910s. It's long been dubbed “The Mayor’s House,” and is a quaint space with a lot of character and size.

In December 2023 Mert Tezkol and Habip Kargin, boyhood friends from Turkey created an offshoot of their successful Selda Mediterranean Grill in North Dallas.

On chilly nights, try to get a seat by the fire place and order platters of the hosue-made Turkish lavas puffy bread with hummus.

For mains, try the adana kebab and lahmacun. The kebab is considered one of their signature dishes, with hand-chopped lamb and red pepper cooked over a charcoal grill, then served on a bed of rice along with a mixed green and bean salad. The lamb is perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice flavorful and al dente, the salad fresh and dressed well.
