Feta Mediterranean Restaurant Greenhills — Restaurant in San Juan

No need to miss your Turkish favorites! This restaurant offers the ambiance and dishes you desire for your Mediterranean cravings. Feta was chosen for Zomato’s Food Choice 2019, unsurprisingly it was well deserved! After all the scrumptious meals we’ve tried, I definitely think this restaurant should land an award. For starters, or the Mezze (mah ‘tseh), we got to try bread and dips. You can get a platter for this at ₱1125. However, you can also order solo and the price starts at ₱175. One of my highly recommended dishes in Feta is its Pide (pee ‘deh). These are Meditteranean boat-shaped pizzas. It’s perfectly paired with their cold dip which gives you that savory and tangy taste. Price starts at ₱435. Their variation of the Classic Italian Pesto was a delight! It was creamy but still had that pesto flavor that I liked. They sell it at ₱295 for solo, ₱495 for sharing, and ₱740 for family. We tried two kinds of their salad: classic greek salad and grilled chicken. Price starts at ₱405. We really did have a glorious feast at Feta! They served us the Kebab Feast (₱1990 for 2-3 pax and comes with 2 mezze; ₱3890 for 4-5 pax and comes with 3 mezze). It contains Adana Kebap, Lamb Shank, Lamb Chops, Lamb Racks, Lamb Suovlaki. Yum! The Testi ( Cappadocia Pottery Kebap) was stunning to watch! This dish is slowly cooked in a clay pot. Feta showed us a fiery exhibition of how it’s cooked. Testi is a hearty meat and vegetable stew and may include carrots, onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. For chicken, you can get this at ₱1395, and ₱1630 for the lamb. But it didn’t stop there! We were also served with the Blazing stuffed chicken which also gave as a fiery show. Priced at ₱2490, this dish includes a richly seasoned chicken with rice and blend of nuts and rich spices, covered in a dome of salt and baked to perfection in a traditional brick oven. Finally, to end this wonderful banquet, we had a taste of Feta’s Baklava (₱290) and Kunefeh (₱380 for 2, ₱520 for 4). The kunefeh was very interesting to my taste, definitely something new. It how reminds me of our pancit because of its appearance. We also a got a preview of how they serve Turkish coffee and Lokum. The management explained that this kind of coffee is strong that’s why it’s served...

Small restaurant that doubles as a small grocery. It bustles with activity; mostly from take-outs and deliveries.

I ordered red lentil soup, beef doner on a bed of rice, lamb testi, and turkish coffee.

The doner was something I tasted elsewhere. But the soup, the testi, and the coffee were new to me.

The soup was very delicious. The testi was also very good; and it was part entertainment.

The lamb testi is a traditional Capadocian dish where lamb, chicken, or other meats would be mixed with rice, tomato sauce, and vegetables such as onions, garlic, bell peppers and tomatoes. The mixture would be stuffed in a clay pot and sealed. The clay pot would be placed on an open fire to cook. I mentioned part entertainment because near its serving time, a cart would be rolled next to your table with the clay pot still cooking on top a flaming brazier. The chef (in protective gear) carefully takes the pot from the flames onto another table to break the seal and serve the dish onto a large bowl.

It was really good, and enough to serve 2 to 3 persons. The testi comes with an accompanying yogurt that you could drizzle on your food.

The last I ordered was Turkish coffee. I found there was a method to drinking it. The coffee is prepared with the coffee grounds inside the drink. You need to wait a minute or so for the grounds to settle, and sip the coffee without disturbing the grounds. In the end, you are left with the grounds which you simply leave in the bottom of the cup. The coffee is accompanied by a dried date fruit.

It was a new experience for me, and I enjoyed my...

Turkish restaurant. The place is both a restaurant and store in one but you wouldn’t be bothered by it because the store is neatly senctioned in one corner and the restaurant itself has many tables and spaced nicely, you know, it’s not a bunch of tables stuck too close to each other. They have decent decoration and good ambience inside and the staff are quick to respond to your request for assistance.

The place also has its own toilet.

The establishment does have store front parking. They can accommodate parking but it’s double parking so if you happen to park in the front, expect to be disrupted if the car behind you has to leave. Still OK. I mean you get used to this when you live in this city.

As for food - it can be a bit pricey. It’s me and my kids, I spent 3k. I have to say we mostly liked what we had - my youngest child thinks some of the food are bland though but she likes McDonald’s a lot so what does she know? I try to introduce them to different types of food from different cultures but I guess because she’s young - she doesn’t always appreciate it 😅. Their Turkish coffee and Turkish tea is a good way to cap off dinner.

They accept credit and debit cards, and also GCash. If you order online through their website, there’s a discount - available for pick-up and delivery but you can’t dine in if you order and pay online. They are also found...
