Shawkat's Mediterranean Restaurant

Some restaurants serve food. Shawkat's serves a feeling the warm, generous feeling of being welcomed into a Lebanese home.

Founded in 1980 and proudly family-owned, Shawkat's Mediterranean Restaurant has been one of Tulsa's best-kept secrets for over four decades. In 2013, the Tafla family took over and brought it back to its roots pure, authentic Lebanese cuisine made with love, using recipes passed down through generations.

What makes Shawkat's truly one of a kind? It is Oklahoma's only pita bread bakery baking fresh, warm pita right on the premises every single day. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked bread tells you this is no ordinary restaurant.

The menu is a journey through the Mediterranean silky hummus, bright tabouli, slow-cooked cabbage rolls, smoky chicken kabob, crispy spinach pies, and the legendary Jake's Platter that keeps regulars coming back week after week. Everything is made fresh, made with care, and made to nourish both the body and soul.

With a 4.7-star rating and a community that has loved this place for generations including guests from Lebanon and Jordan who say it tastes just like back home Shawkat's is more than a restaurant. It's a piece of the Mediterranean, right here in Tulsa.
