Semra grew up in Turkey, and John, her husband, is Turkish but grew up in the United States. Together they have Semra’s Mediterranean Grill located at 19 Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, just steps off the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. Tel. 302-226-4976. Website? http://www.semras.com.
John will be the first one to tell you that he is just a helper, that Semra does all the cooking. Soft spoken and very happy to see that the restaurant that they started not too long ago is prospering and becoming a favorite or many locals and visitors alike.
A counter for take out is right by the door, then a more casual dining area for eating. Their formal dining room is being remodeled and a bar is being added to the casual dining room, as well.
My friend, Chris, and I decided that an early dinner in Rehoboth Beach would be the thing to do on Sunday evening. We chose Semra’s and glad we did. This was not my first time at Semra’s. This restaurant participates in the Eating Rehoboth food tours. More info? Check http://www.eatingrehoboth.com.
Semra showed us our booth and looking at the menu I could not make up my mind.
Chris had the Lamb Shish Kabob, which had one skewer of char-grilled marinated lamb cubes served over a salad. Chris said the salad was great with a delicious dressing.
I had the Grilled Kofte which had patties of char-grilled lamb and beef with Turkish herbs and spices served over rice, yogurt, pita bread and veggies.
My patties were very moist. Semra mentioned that the combination is mostly lamb with maybe 20% beef.
Semra’s family sends her red crushed pepper from Turkey. You would think it would be so spicy but it wasn’t. It actually added a mild kick to the food. Very good.
The food was so fresh and settled perfectly. We were comfortably satisfied.
Check their website or Facebook Page. Entertainment at Semra’s includes belly dancing. They will be putting those event as dates become available.
Have a good One!!
