YUM. We ate at Black Sea with our whole family, and the food was so good, my daughter and I actually felt a little teary. (We're "foodies", so perhaps that's not so unusual?) With the deliciousness of each bite, the pretty presentation, the friendliness and top-notch service of the owner, the photos of the owner's family on the menu covers and the price--it was simply a wonderful experience. All 5 of us had a different menu option--and with one vegetarian and one gluten-free eater, there were plenty of delicious choices. We wish the Black Sea every success in the world, and can't wait to eat there again!

What a great little Place!! Awesome food and so friendly :). I created a map on Google of restaurants in my area that I want to try. Today my friend and I tried the Black Sea, what a pleasure!! We arrived around 1:30 and we were quickly greeted by the owner Ali, he sat us at one of the little tables. As previous reviewers have said there are beaded curtains dividing the tables and there is great Turkish items everywhere you look. We decided to split some appetizers and a sandwich so we could taste quite a few things on our visit. We had the Meze Platter (cabbage rolls, falafel, humus, olives, feta cheese, tomatoes, peppers) to start with, followed by the Veggie Sandwich (eggplant, falafel, cabbage rolls, lettuce, tomato, onion, sauce) and we both enjoyed the Turkish lemonade with unlimited refills. The food was great, all of the flavors were spot on and quite enjoyable. We were served quick and the owner.. who was also or waiter was super friendly. Our lunch with drinks and tax was under $20.00 and we enjoyed this better then any big chain meal. I suggest checking it out, it is an unassuming little place so don't let the outside scare you off.

A favorite twin cities restaurant. Every student at Hamline comes to appreciate The Black Sea. I have since moved away but always visit Black Sea when I come back. The owner and his wife are friendly and serve great food. Great gyros. Great Hummus. Great Baklava. Who could ask for anything more?

Unbelievable Bargain and Fantastic Service. Probably my favorite small restaurant in the cities. Ali and his wife make this a truly great dining experience whether take out or dine in. Parties of no more than 10 for dining in because it's a small place!

The food is phenomenal. Both Ali and his wife are vegetarian so they put on a great spread of falafel, hummus, pita bread, cabbage, spinach, etc.

My favourites are the falafel veggie plate and the Black Sea Combination. You will not be dissappointed! With ALL entrees under $9, how can you go wrong!
