SUR Cafe Mediterranean sits on Market Street in the Financial District, serving Mediterranean and Turkish food counter-service style — bowls, plates, and wraps made to order. All food is halal, treated as part of how the kitchen has always cooked rather than a marketed label.
The chicken doner bowl is the most-ordered item, with chunks of meat in generous portions. Chef's specials run from baby lamb chops and a grilled chicken plate to slow-cooked short ribs tandir and a Sur Burger built on that same short rib, alongside a truffle fettuccine alfredo and a falafel wrap. Weekend brunch brings a Turkish breakfast spread — sucuk eggs, fried halloumi, simit, French toast. A pastry case stocked daily with baklava, Turkish delight, and other sweets sits up front, with the pistachio baklava a particular standout. Seating is limited, a handful of indoor and outdoor tables suited more to a quick lunch than a lingering one.
