Hugh and I recently stopped in at the Boston Deli for supper and had a delightful meal. The restaurant has been updated since we were there last and looked very spiffy and inviting. In the evening, guests are seated and served – as opposed to the daytime when you can order at the counter and then be seated.
After being seated, our server brought our drinks and some slices of delicious artisan bread and butter. We ordered from the daily specials – I had the chicken kebab which was served with hummus, tabouli and pita bread. Hugh ordered the smoked chicken quesadillas. Then we shared.
The chicken kebabs were very tender and tasty, skewered with sweet purple onions, and green and red peppers. They were delicious, as were the pita bread and hummus. The tabouli, on the other hand, wasn’t just delicious – it was to die for – a wonderful mixture of tabouli, corn, black beans, red beans, tomatoes, and seasonings. None of the food was too spicy hot, but everything had a robust flavor.
With the quesadillas, came another taste treat. They were grilled and filled with plenty of smoked chicken, and piquant flavorings. We enjoyed every morsel of those crispy quesadillas.
We were offered blueberry/peach cobbler for dessert – and quite frankly the dessert display cases held many beautiful, enticing desserts – but we could not eat another bite after the generous portions of our entrees and sides.
We highly recommend Boston Deli – it’s been around for twenty years and is one of Tulsa’s treasures. They are open Mon 11am-3pm; Tue-Sat 11am-3pm, 5pm-9pm.
