Camilya's Mediterranean Cafe

10942 N. May Ave.
Oklahoma City, OK

Camilya's Mediterranean Cafe has become one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants by providing good quality food that is freshly cooked. The menu is so small I think it will not take many visits for anyone to start reordering the same items they tried before. I do not think the food here will grow old, though, since it has the type of quality and flavor I would enjoy eating on a repeated basis.

Camilya's is a small restaurant in a strip shopping center in the north part of Oklahoma City. The fact that it is small is the main reason I have confidence it will be as good for other patrons as when I visited. With the owner preparing all of the food, I think people can pretty well know what to expect when they visit.

Greek salad

Several salads are available, served in both small and large portions. The Greek Salad was one of the freshest and best I have had anywhere. The portions of lettuce and other ingredients were not huge, but the quality was very good.

Falafel sandwich with Middle Eastern style tea

The fact that I really enjoyed the Falafel gave me confidence that other dishes would be good as well. The key to falafel seems to be preparing it fresh and not making it too greasy. Camilya's hit the mark on both of these, and I was very happy to find a good Middle Eastern vegetarian dish. My feeling is that it is not too unusual to find good meat dishes in Mediterranean restaurants, but when they do falafel really well, I think I have found someplace special.

Combo dinner with tawook and keftah skewers

The chicken and beef skewers were every bit as good as I had expected, having been referred to Camilya's in the first place by family members who have too limited a budget to waste it eating out on food that is not truly worthwhile. The Keftah Skewer was made with ground black angus beef seasoned with what is probably a family recipe. The Tawook Skewer was made with flavorful chicken that I liked even better than the beef.

On my first visit I enjoyed a Middle Eastern style Hot Tea that was very good, and was similar to the mint tea served at Cous Cous Cafe. On a later visit, though, the tea came from a tea bag. The Middle Eastern tea is not on the menu, though, and I think Camilya made it as a favor to me.

The combo dinner (shown in the photo above) had more meat than I would want to eat by myself. However, Camilya said if any customer wanted a smaller plate these could be ordered. I can say that I certainly would like to try anything at Camilya's that my appetite would permit.
