In a plain old little building on may avenue this treasure is sitting just waiting for you to go inside. We walked in to the best aroma. It smelled like toasted spices and onions carmalizing. We saw the desert counter first and were excited to try the baklava. I was there to shop not to eat though. We bought beautiful fresh Persian cucumbers, Valencia oranges with stems and leaves still on them, and a big slice of beautiful brie cheese recommended by the employee. The orange was absolutely delicious so sour and smelled heavenly. Havent used the brie or cucumbers in my recipe yet but I know it will be good. We will be back for sure.
I have been going to this place for nearly 30 years.Just go there, order the falafel sandwich with a side of dolma (grape leaves) and I promise you will not be disappointed.This is my far the best place to get a falafel within the state of Oklahoma and pickled turnips are the best I have had the world.Highly recommend this place.
So grateful that the new owners are honoring the tradition of this deli keeping the same products, menu, vibes and some employees. Delicious as always! Please keep it affordable for us as best you can! We need at least some mainstays and cultural longevity.
I was not disappointed in my visit, worth the drive. Same wonderful Mediterranean comfort foods, and the best service Ive ever had there.
This is one of my favorite places in OKC. The selection of deli meats and cheeses is unrivaled in this area. Ive expanded my palate just by proximity.Their list is expansive and fresh and youd be crazy to not try some things youve never had before.The grocery section while physically small has an incredible selection of imported foods as well. The small but full space reminds me of a New York bodega but cleaner.The best part about this shop are the employees. Some of the nicest and most attentive people youll meet. They will accommodate and answer any question. If they dont know theyll try to find someone who does. If someone overhears you they will jump at the chance to help out. The shop was never empty in my visits, but youd think it was by how willing everyone was to get you whatever you were looking for.Two of my favorite things to buy here (aside from the deli meats and cheeses) are their breads and the canned hummus. They have a bread for pretty much any use. I primarily buy they sub rolls but you can find all manner of bread. The canned hummus is excellent because it provides a clean pallet for you to add your favorite flavors and the breads come in all types, shapes, and sizes.If youre in the area I cant recommend this place enough, and if you arent it might be worth the trip.
Love everything about this store. Products, food and employees are amazing ! Top notch service!
Best place for imported meats and cheeses. Definitely gives you an old world deli feel when you go in
I went today after a long time ( beginning of pandemic) the place looks very good, managers/owners are nice and friendly, Go check it out its an Oklahoman place you must visit. I worked there for a long time! and finally went and visited today! Great staff from different parts of the world, they are friendly and very helpful if you ask them a question.
Ordered the pastrami sandwich and was not impressed. Very little meat on a bun that was tough to chew. The five bean salad was good and I recommend it. Butsandwicwasandwichnot
First time in the shop today. For a small store they have everything you can imagine. Including a fantastic lunch counter. I tried the Gyro (just the sandwich) and a side of Baklava. Absolutely delicious! The gyro was different than any I’ve had before and I’m hooked. I ate most of it before I remembered the sauce. The sauce was amazing too. I now love both kinds of gyros and I will be back for sure. The baklava was perfectly chewy and crunchy. I’m stuffed and but already looking to go back. Thank you for an amazing store.
REALLY good gyros. Getting here is weird since you cant turn right where the place is, however, great food and selection of deli meats, goat cheese, spices, etc... Definitely will be back and update an easier way to get here ;)
The food is delicious. The falafel is a must!
They have a great selection of items that are difficult to find at other locations in okc. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful as well!
Great find! I had found this import and deli because I was searching for a rare goat cheese (mizithra) and not a single larger or smaller grocery chain within a 15 mile radius could get it. I ended up finding this place and came into the store happily surprised due to the large imported goods and food they had.The picture I attached are of the good I thought were less common and of interest to some.
Delightful sandwich...loved the falafel .good Greek salad. Solid- consistent. Love the new owners.
Came here with a large group for lunch and, of course, there wasnt a lot of room for us because theyre so popular! The staff, however, was extremely accommodating and quickly cleaned up their patio for us. I got the Italian sandwich with a side of hummus and pita. The sandwich was great but the hummus was what made the meal for me and Id highly recommend it.The store itself has a lot of goods available that you cant really find easily in the city! What really caught my eye were the snacks and sweets they had which are expensive to buy at candy stores.Its just a neat place to visit in general and Id encourage people to go at least once to try it out!
New ownership has only improved this wonderful restaurant. It has retained its charm and the amazing Mediterranean food we have come to know and love. And they have begun to offer some new desserts that are absolutely amazing.
Good selection of foods. Also good food with excellent service.
My family has been coming here for years, they have high quality ingredients and their deli food is so high quality and just amazing very flavorful
Nice middle eastern store and restaurants. They have a restaurant to the left of store when you enter.
Great place good selection my only critique would be if you order cured meats at the deli watch the young man who is cutting and packaging it because he’s not very knowledgeable and you’re probably not gonna get what you think you’re going to get and you won’t realize it until you left because I order and then I shop my point being is take the extra time and watch to make sure you’re getting what you’re paying for and check the receipt
Service was friendly, but was shocked that I was given an option to tip the staff for doing my own grocery shopping. Seems weird and this is only with the new owners. My family has gone to this store since the beginning and were very close with original owner.
A total of 6 customers in the store. There are more employees (7) than patrons. I just stood at the deli counter for 8 minutes, while the clerk rang up the 3 ladies that were behind me and did not even acknowledge me all while they continued to shop. Do not waste your time here because apparently they do not need your business or maybe just not my kind of business.
Best if everything. High quality and friendly service.
They have nice selection of Mediterranean food, also, they service variety of food in their kitchen.
I went there yesterday to get some coconut macaroons. I have tried them before from the same place and I liked them a lot, they tasted delicious. The ones I got yesterday were dry, did not taste the same and looked like they had been there for some time( i did not notice that when i was there).
Always excellent ready made food and a large selection of awesome specialty groceries
Good food and the little shop holds some Mediterranean products and spices. I really enjoyed it. The only reason for mark down was everything was served in styrofoam...which is good for Covid but so bad for the environment. So really they get a 4.5
Always good service and thats what I like about that place. A bit pricey for what they have but its worth it because the service is great. Sometimes you have to compromise to get the service you need instead of waiting or having to do it yourself like most of the stores now its annoying.
Best Mediterranean restaurant in OKC. The employees are always very kind and helpful. Everything I have ever ordered was delicious.
This place is top-notch!! Their selection of spices, meats, cheese, olives, etc brought me back to the mediterranean! Im so happy to have found this gem and am excited to continue to support them! I cant recommend this spot enough, if youre in OKC stop by for a sandwich/meal or pick up the ingredients to make your own 😊
I have been eating here and loving the store for years. Wonderful food. Best place to get some cheese or lentils or jams or tahini or find a new delight. Stopped by to pick up to go today and it was quick.
Knowledgeable staff.... fun, varied, and authentic foodstuffs.
This place is a little gem. There are so many hard-to-find meats, cheeses, and spices packed in this little shop! The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Ill definitely be back!
THE PLACE TO GET OLIVE OIL and Mediterranean food ! !
The staff was helpful and kind. This place has an awesome atmosphere. I see why this place has so many good reviews.
Always my favorite place and only place for fresh made hummus. Food is awesome
Food was so tasty. certainly worth a return visit. the prices are well within reason for the quality. i can see why they have so many reviews.
First time here and I gotta say, amazing food! Ive never had a gyro come even close to what I just had. Its easy to tell that your chefs care about the quality of food that they put out.. I wish I took a picture before eating.. I will definitely be back!
My grandson brought me food from this place. It was very good. . I am not sure what it was called but it was very good.
This is everything a deli should be. Delicious food, well stocked grocery store, all in the Mediterranean flavor house. Die for the falalfel every time. Need natural honeycomb? Heres the ticket.
Wonderful place friendly staff and good atmosphere. Had tons of products to choose from on the grocery side and the food is delicious.
Amazing deli, friend, helpful employees.
Nice location to meet with family. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Reminds me of a cafe in Chicago I loved to visit.
Worst restaurant I ever tried before. Dirty, bad food, discussing washroom, and poor menu.
Oh my goodness! I cannot say enough good things about this place. Im surprised this place doesnt have a complete 5 star rating. The Hummus is the best Ive ever had! The prices are great and I absolutely enjoyed everything in the store. I stocked up on so many things. This is definitely my favorite store since moving from Dallas. I live 2 hours away and sometimes I make the trip just for this place. The food is delicious and the staff is always friendly. The owner is very helpful and friendly as well. Again I cant say enough good things about this place, its definitely a gem. I would give more stars if I could.
Love the food. The staff is helpful. The market has a great variety of delicious items. Its a small place, so call your order in ahead if you can!
My fav place for lunch, cheese, olives, and specialty groceries you wont find anywhere else in OKC. Having a party? Order an roasted veggie platter and you wont be disappointed!
Great place to eat or shop!
Yes yes yes to this place. I’m in town 12 days and plan to be here at least 3x plus get to go meats and cheeses. Wow.
We had high expectations and they went above and beyond! It was so delicious, so fresh and tasty! We even found interesting things to buy it in the deli section. For sure we will come again, such a lovely atmosphere and people! Thank you!
Fantastic Mediterranean Deli, this is my go to for Mediterranean groceries. Amazing bread selection. Fantastic Cheese selection. They got it all. Go in shop for some groceries and also eat some fantastic Mediterranean food. Highly Recommend.
Super appetizing. certainly worth a return visit. like a restaurant in washington i liked.
Hands down best Mediterranean food Ive ever had. Great prices and amazing tea&spice selection in the grocery part of this place. Not to mention, super friendly service. 👍
They sell the best cheeses.
Best place ever. Cole is absolutely amazing♥️
I look forward to a return visit. Similar to a cafe in Las Vegas I loved.
Go to place for all kinds imported delicacies and meats and CHEESE!!! Before Covid, great place for lunch, too.
Great restaurant with actual Mediterranean food taste and nice variety of imported goods. Highly recommended!
EDIT: This is no longer Atifs amazing shop. This is a place filled with rude, ignorant, unhygenic, apathetic employees who can do what they want when they want (and what they want to do is not wait on customers or help customers). I have been disgusted with the service on multiple occasions and will no longer be shopping here. Also- to whichever new owner reads this- I have been on hold to talk to you for over 10 minutes. So instead of speaking to you here is a review- I hope it helps others who should pick a new store to go to.pre-2021 (Atifs):The best restaurant in OKC. The best deli in OKC. The kindest shop owner in OKC. The best place to get a Christmas basket for someone in OKC. The most delicious hummus I’ve ever had. Their daily specials are fantastic and if you’re really lucky you’re there on chicken alfredo day. Oh! Get a falafel there too... ...and some spices... ...and some olive oil and bread and pita bread and chocolate and tea and coffee... ...and a smile from the owner- cause he’s seriously one amazing guy...If I could only go to one restaurant in the whole world for the rest of my life- it would be this one.
They are the best food and grocery, such a sweet owner and staff, thank you
Amazing place, huge selection and I especially love so the herbs, spices and coffee
Always perfect 🥰
Good Mediterranean food, reasonable prices, and friendly/helpful staff. Bonus is the grocery section to get all your specialty groceries, deli meats, spices, variety of cheeses, and a variety of olive options. No matter how many times we go back we are never disappointed. Really like this place. Be warned though on Saturdays around lunch time this place is packed!!
Love everything and everybody. My favorite is when I’m standing in line, I learn something amazing from the person next to me.
Always a great selection of Mediterranean foods. If certain items werent available, the owner has ordered certain grocery items for me. Clean environment with friendly, helpful staff. :-)
Always well stocked, friendly service. The best meat and cheese selection.
They do the pastrami and provolone sandwitch perfect! Love the yogurt drink!
Ive been coming here ever since I was a very small child. I love the food and the deli area. The staff are always nice and very helpful. I Definitely will be coming back. Great for trying new things or Traditional Mediterranean/Middle Eastern foods. Check it out! One of the best hole-in-the-wall places in OKC.
Service is consistently good. Prices that wont break you.
Amazing food, and a good selection of imported meats, cheeses and other food items.
Always find something I have never tried. Never disappointed on quality or price.
My experience with this store wasn’t good because people are working there need to learn more about Customer service. Being rude with customer is not acceptable in this business at all
I love this store and restaurant . Very nice and different food and products in store. Middle Eastern food and more than basic selection of items for sale. They have nice Delly with Salamis, hams, several kinds of feta cheese and numerous olive variety. Plenty of other European and Arabic style products. I visit this place frequently and enjoy their food and buy all kinds of stuff.
Low quality foodI ordered gyro/shawarma, which was pricy and meet had dead body smell and very hard to chew.Filthy and substandard place.I will never eat at this place again.
Absolutely love this place. They have a huge variety of meats and cheeses as well as many European products. They also have a nice produce section. To top is off they have great pricing. I highly recommend this place.
Love the selection of cheese
Great and I mean great food! I highly recommend the potato salad, tabouli and baklava. They have a good selection of hard to find grocery items as well. I love their little cucumbers and when they have pomegranates in, they are very inexpensive.
Meg Ryan delish!!!
Falafel sandwich with an order of hummus and pita was delicious as always.
If youre looking for a great variety of deli meats and cheeses this is the place. The staff knows their stuff. The grocery section is nice too if you are looking for imported items.
Reasonable prices on pretty much everything. Attentive workers. The owner is a guy who would go above and beyond to get you what you need. If he doesnt have it in the shop he special orders it. I have him order many things in the past. They all came in on a timely manner. Their food are decent as well. Note that their kitchen closes at 6 pm.
Super good atmosphere! Feels like home when talking with the employees! Will come back and have already recommended. Thanks for being so awesome!
I have been traveling, and wanted a good meal to get a break from the road. Mediterranean Deli was a most excellent stop. The smell of fresh authentic foods was almost overwhelming, in a good way! The variety of products on the shelves was great stopping for a vegan traveler! A must stop for anyone!
Always the best place for awesome cheeses, exotic spices, breads, lunch. Old fashion type deli.Good job!
Great food and people. They always have a great menu with daily specials. I buy my fresh ground coffee from then. Too many things to mention worth your time to explore
Great selection - specialized in middle eastern/Lebanese foods, also wide selection of other specialty/imported items including but not limited to specialty deli meats and cheeses. One of the few places in the area to get bulk Mediterranean/middle Eastern olives. In store and carry out dining (food is good AND authentic - counter ordering/table service is limited...) Not the most comfortable on site dining, BUT FOOD IS WELL WORTH the visit
Seriously the best Mediterranean lunch in the city. All the foods are bursting with flavor. I especially like their take on the falafel sandwich and the Mediterranean platter. The grocery selection is high-end luxury foods that are still accessible. The cheese selection is large and the prices are the best. Usually $2-$4 less per pound than Whole Foods for example.
Very friendly staff.Delicious food.Potato soup is excellent.Pita and Hummus is great.
Delicious baklava and kanafeh!
We love the olive selection
Awesome selection and friendly people. Will be back.
Ive been there twice in 3 days for their prepared food. Cant beat their 4 salad special. Their desserts are wonderful. Their selection if deli meats and cheeses are good too. I love the calabrese salami. Nice and spicy!
Easily the best Mediterranean food in town and reasonably priced.
