Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: HoneySuckle on September 12, 2007, 05:06:57 pm I've tried La Roma (not tried his pizza, just the Lebanese food), and Shawkats.
Cedars is supposed to be good, but haven't tried them. Jamils was okay too. Any recommendations? Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: AngieB on September 12, 2007, 05:29:42 pm Halim & Mimi's all the way!
Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: pmcalk on September 12, 2007, 07:45:13 pm I tried Cedars, and really enjoyed it. The restaurant on 21st & Harvard (I think Jim's never on Sunday) is also good.
Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: HoneySuckle on September 13, 2007, 11:03:03 am Mimi's brother owns La Roma. I've eaten at H & M but they use too much garlic in their food. Very nice people, and warm atmosphere, and though I love garlic, they go overboard in my opinion. That's my only complaint.
Now Shawkat tends to go easy on the oil, and only uses lean meat, so for a more healthy version, I like his meals better. Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: HoneySuckle on September 13, 2007, 11:06:54 am Has anyone tried Sub-station? I got their card last night.
They're in Jenks. Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: joiei on September 13, 2007, 11:15:53 am If you looking for more middle eastern style food, Helen of Troy on S Lewis is very good.

Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: ARGUS on October 01, 2007, 09:06:53 am Jamil's Steakhouse...wow. What a fall from grace! I have been going there since I was a kid and in the last 7yrs or so they have gone down hill. Do not look at the restrooms or even your celery in the appitizer tray if you wish to keep your appetite. Institution? YES. Filthy dirty? WAY YES!!!
We were there one night after the PGA...slammed busy,BUT (yes there were about 5-8 PGA pros in there at the same time) the daughter of the owner (or neice or whatever) was having a crying fit and wailing about something in the dining room! Across the aisle from her uncle or dad....disgusting! FILTH,Bad managment= removal from cell phone address book...even for take-out. C'mon I-44 widening! Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: FOTD on October 01, 2007, 02:46:33 pm HOT is good!
(Helen of Troy) Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: USRufnex on October 02, 2007, 11:21:53 am If you ever find yourself east of Hwy 169 (or even if you don't), Shish-kabob's by the old Albertson's at 31st & Garnett is definitely worth a visit.
I try to eat there at least twice a month. No fancy decor, just good food. Small businesses that take great pride in what they do are worth your support... http://www.shish-kabobs.com/index.html Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: Conan71 on October 02, 2007, 12:21:41 pm USR, what ever happened to Frank's Gyros which used to be out in east Tulsa? Are they still around? I used to live across the street from the family, very nice people.
Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: USRufnex on October 02, 2007, 06:42:02 pm don't know. it's all a blur.
but there's the same Carl's Coney Island at Executive Mall I remember from when the family would go there and eat coneys and watch "Charlie's Angels" on tv back in the 70s... Yep. It hasn't changed a bite. [:D] Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: HoneySuckle on October 03, 2007, 09:42:30 am quote: Everything you said there is true and is the reason we will NEVER eat there! What we saw about 15 years ago was a huge roach crawling on the table. Then my sister went about a year ago and she could not eat the food, the place was filthy. What a shame. Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: HoneySuckle on October 03, 2007, 09:43:35 am quote: My husband tried this place a couple months ago and said it was the worse food he ever had. Greasy and not very tasty compared to the other places mentioned (positively that is). Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: USRufnex on October 03, 2007, 03:20:39 pm LOL.
If I hear someone tell me the food at Shish-kabobs is "the worst food they ever had," it makes me suspicious of their tastes in general. [:O] I admit I don't eat "Mediterranean" food that often-- but have eaten at several middle eastern places in Chicago over the years. And I used to live in Chicago's Little Pakistan where I enjoyed going to different restaurants there for Chicken Biryani, Vendaloo, etc... it was actually a former-Chicagoan who recommended Shish-kabobs to me when I moved to Tulsa... I usually get the kabobs for lunch and never see even a smudge of "grease" from those kabobs on the basmati rice. I once got one of their stews I wasn't crazy about, but other than that, it fit the bill. The cabbage rolls I ate that could have been greasy... weren't. Some of the restaurant experiences I read about on this forum remind me of why I was so hesitant to move to the apt complex I live at around 41st and Garnett... people told me this area of town was "horrible" and how their experience at a similar apt complex was "a nightmare." To each his own. I'll continue to eat lunch regularly there... [;)] Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: HoneySuckle on October 09, 2007, 10:38:14 pm quote: Okay, that does it. I will try the place myself and see what I think. I don't like greasy food regardless of which country/city/town it's from[}:)] Will try to report back at some point, Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: USRufnex on October 10, 2007, 12:15:42 pm Maybe OETA should start a restaurant review show like this one...
Check Please! http://www.wttw.com/main.taf?p=1,5 What happens is they get three different people each week (i.e.-- a Real Estate broker, a hairdresser, and an urban housewife)... and each of the three recommends a favorite restaurant. All three of these people eat at all three restaurants and give their reviews... Would be curious to see the Tulsa version... [:P] ...bad idea?!? Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: TeeDub on October 10, 2007, 12:52:23 pm We go eat at Shishkabob's about once a month... They have a great gyro platter which we swap the fries for the jasmine rice. Now that is good! And with rice instead of fries, no grease at all. Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: USRufnex on October 10, 2007, 03:24:22 pm "We don't need another gyro."
---Tina Turner Title: Mediterranean restaurants Post by: HoneySuckle on October 11, 2007, 02:48:41 pm I love your idea about the review. So how do we get this started?[?]
