Middle Eastern Restaurants near Arabi, LA

“I finally tried Stella Maris after many friends recommended it. It was the best Middle Eastern food I’ve had in the New Orleans area! The food is delicious, prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly. The grocery store has a nice selection of international food at surprisingly low prices.“

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere“

“The food was fabulous! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We dined in and upon first entering, you can tell the place is kept extremely clean and well maintained! The employees/manager welcomed us with a genuine smile and warmth. The menu is well-designed for simplicity and ease of use. I ate the shrimp platter and my wife had the chicken platter. Both came with a salad, hummus, rice, and pita bread. Neither of us got the hummus, but we both received extra salad. The plates were delivered to our table quickly, and hot! The shrimp platter had AMAZING flavor, not overbearing and not too typical of seafood - just perfect! The rice is to die for, and was probably my favorite part of the dish, which says wonders because I absolutely love my seafood! The salad was simple, yet tasty and crisp. My wife loved the chicken platter in its entirety! All-in-all, I'd give them a 4.9, but only due to them offering drinks in 12oz cans instead of out of the fountain, but its able to be overlooked for the overall experience.“

“This has been our favorite restaurant for 10+ years. Can’t say enough about the food and service. My wife and I always ask for Carlin. She’s an excellent waitress and a sweetheart. With that being said, we’ll probably not be going back except maybe for a special occasion. The prices have gotten to be “above our pay grade”. We’ll miss you Carlin.“

“Food was fabulous! The atmosphere was quaint! Our waiter was very Knowledgeable, Cameron recommended The chicken shawarma plate It was the best I've ever had. And my husband had the falafel plate and we enjoyed both of them. We would recommend your place to anyone visiting New Orleans! The food the service and the atmosphere Was superb, Thank you“

“always fresh! always delicious ❤️“

“the food is amazing. the kabobs, the lamb chops, and the humus! I highly recommend!“

“The food is amazing, especially the chicken. To those of you complaining about prices, find a cheaper place with the same quality. You can’t bc it doesn’t exist in this area. If you’re complaining about a business raising prices and lowering portions in this economy, then go to the grocery store and cook your own food. You’re either woefully ignorant about running a business or the current price of food or you’re just a hater.

Owners are super nice. Food is great. Prices are fair.“

“Very good food friendly staff.“

“The fries are to die for, and the mushroom hummus is yes, yes!“

“great food quick service filling“
