Parsia Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Tulsa

Mediterranean Cottage is a one man ran, frugal, “half” hole in the wall diner. (That’s right it is so small it is not even a full hole in the wall.) Mediterranean Cottage comes in 1st place for the best Mediterranean food in this shopping center. Mediterranean Cottage is a basic, no frills, dining experience. Order at the counter, pay at the counter, pick your food up at the counter and buss your own table. All food served on/with disposable table ware. Limited drink options. An experience I can enjoy, if food is good. And it is! Enough …the food. I had the Shesh Lek (combo platter) and my wife had the Tawook (advertised house specialty) platter. The Shesh Lek platter had a combination of all of the meats (Tawook, Shaworma, and Gyro). Both platters had the same sides plus a large serving of rice and pita for the hummus. Hummus good! Tabouli good! The meats were very good. The chicken was moist, tender with great flavor. The big “meat lover’s sized serving” of gyro meat was pleasantly seasoned! A nice layer of toum was spread on the meat it added a perfect garlicy finish. It was a good meal! Good, but not making the cut for my top ten Mediterranean restaurants in Tulsa. HOWEVER It is definitely worth a try if you like Mediterranean food. Inessential information: I have used the word Mediterranean so many times in this review, I can now spell it without having to rely on...

I love Lebanese food. I love finding local hole in the wall spots and supporting family owned businesses. Heck, I even love dated wood paneling that lines the restaurant walls and gives this place a cozy 60’s vibe. All of this to say, I wanted to LOVE this place. However, I’m sadly disappointed in my experience. My partner and I ordered two different platter meals with extra sides to try a variety of menu items. After seeing the owner heat everything in the microwave and then opening the tabouli to find a wilted mushy mess of parsley and tomatoes, I knew my shot at love was over. The texture of the onions was watery and soft, like they’d been frozen and thawed. The chicken left me questioning the previously mentioned microwave process. On a positive note the green beans were flavorful and gyro was was pretty good. Maybe I just caught them on a bad night? I would encourage others to give it a try to see for yourself, but I...

3/29/24 it has been 9 years since I have been here last. The owner updated the tables and seats, the restaurant is much brighter than I remember. The owner is very kind & hospitable. As for the food,,,, the best part was the garlic past. The rice, the Tabouli and the Hummos are bland. As long as for the main course large very bland portion of what is supposed to be mediterranean chicken Tawook. (seeing is believing look at the pictures) I had to add so much salt so I can eat my lunch, it's not my habit to throw food in the trash when there are so many people go to bed hungry ever day. One of the negative things also is there no bathroom or even a sink for customers to wash their hands before eating. If there was one then you have to go into the open kitchen which is not healthy by any means to allow customers to walk in the area where they prep food. Now I know why I...
