17 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Baton Rouge

“I frequently visit this CAVA location, and I feel compelled to share some observations. There is one young man who consistently stands out. He has locs with green tones, and he’s often the one handling the front line by himself. While other team members sometimes appear less engaged, this employee is the one keeping things moving taking orders efficiently, maintaining a positive energy with guests, and even stepping away to help clean in the back when needed.

It’s noticeable that this pattern happens often, not just on one visit. His reliability and effort elevate the entire customer experience, and frankly, he’s the type of employee who deserves recognition and, in my opinion, a raise. Dedicated staff like him are what keep customers like me coming back.“

“The best everything hands down !!“

“I absolutely love this tiny slice of fast and delicious Greek & Lebanese food!

It's quaint, efficient, and personable. What's even better is they really care about their customers and their preferences. I always ask for feta and garlic paste on my chicken schwarma wrap, along with removing the tomatoes and onions, and they deliver every time with a smile. I come here so often they've memorized my order and are usually making it as I walk up to the counter.

The lady who makes the garlic paste has also informed me if I call ahead that I can get a pint of the garlic paste because I love it so much (and pregnancy cravings! 😂)

Happy to be a customer of such a great group of people that care about their patrons and the quality of their food. I'm sure as long as this location exists, and I live nearby, I'll be coming here for years to come. ❤️“

“What a fun night for our anniversary! Great food and ambience!“

“Had my order delivered by door dash. The food was hot and fresh as if I had dined in. My order was perfectly prepared and neat with no over spillage. I must say as a former resident of Zachary that Phonecia was my go to. Well everything here was better. I didn’t think that was possible but it was. The only thing I would ask is please get the hummus recipe from the Zachary location. That was the most flavorful and juicy chicken shawarma I’ve ever had. The gyro was cooked to perfection. I’ll be back.“

“A company we do business with offered to feed our whole office of 40 last minute today. I worried I would not be able to get an order done with little notice but, I called and spoke to Samy with Serop's Cafe and he was more than accommodating. He delivered hot, delicious AND healthy food that everyone enjoyed in a little over 30 minutes! Now that is great customer service! Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I love albasha.. I’ve tried two separate times to go to bluebonnets location. Food is great. Employees not so much. Today was the Second time a young lady named “Angelica” has gave me attitude . Cut me off. Made rude facial expressions and Slick comments. As a person in the restaurant business. I know some days aren’t the best. Inside or out side of work. But No one deserves to be treated a certain way because it’s a “bad day” . It hasn’t just been 1 time either. Also seemed like the other employees are used to her behavior. Love the food. Hate the service :)“

“It was good and cool inside, they were short staffed that day so the service was a little slow. The food was great, their veggie grape leaves are awesome. Wish they still put the spices out to make your own dipping sauce for their freshly warmed and seasoned pita. The Lebanese tea was awesome as well. Try the beef swarms as well, it's super good. I highly suggest people try this place out.“

“everything is delicious ❤️❤️😍“

“Very good Greek option downtown Baton Rouge! I’ve been coming here for years and always enjoy the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food. The chicken shawarma plate is my favorite since you get the feta cheese salad, hummus, rice pilaf, chicken, and a cup of Grecian sauce.“

“We happen to come across Abu Omar Halal today while in Baton Rouge, Louisiana & they definitely caught our eye…. We just had to stop and try it! 🥳 Let’s just say it was soooo worth it, They have the best version of chicken shawarma I’ve ever had. I ate every last bite before leaving the parking lot. ❤️ We got the Chicken Shawarma Arabi along with a side of spicy garlic sauce! The spicy garlic sauce is a MUST TRY!“

“Fast, friendly, filling. Good place to get a quick Greek fix. Plenty of menu options. Everything we had was tasty. Close to the intersection but easy enough to get in and out. Was here after 1:00 and we went straight through - no wait.“

““The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing time. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A place that truly gets both vibes and taste right. Highly recommended“
