“I ordered the kebab platter. The tahini sauce tasted better than any tahini sauce I have tasted. The Greek salad had very fresh lettuce considering it’s a Sunday night when most restaurants serve slightly wilted lettuce. The hamburger shaped kebabs topped with small sticks of pickles and very thinly sliced onions. When dipped it in the garlic sauce, it was delicious. Now that I think about it I wish I would’ve asked for a spoon so I could have gotten more good rice in my mouth. I wanted something light and filling, and I sure got it. I was totally satisfied when I left the place. It was very clean and appealing and the help was very friendly. When I leave Houston to come visit my sister, Shawarma on the Run will definitely be a stop for us.“
“First time eating with Shaya. It was absolutely amazing! Every single item we ordered was cooked, seasoned and portioned perfectly. Very rare for me to have a restaurant that is almost flawless. Pita made to order was a plus!! And they are really soft!“
“My husband and I went to Saba for brunch after multiple recommendations from friends and strangers. Wow… it was absolutely delicious. Some of our favorites were the variety of sodas, crab hummus, eggplant dip and fried chicken. I can’t wait to come back for the pancakes!Our waitress (I wish I remember her name … she had pink hair) was incredibly kind. So thank you to her for the hospitality and other suggestions while we are in town. We will be back!“
“Our first visit there and my only regret was not showing up with more hungry. The hummus and bread is delicious. I had the Almasgoof kebab and my wife had the lamb chops. Everything was delicious. The rice has a wonderful flavor of what tasted like cinnamon, saffron and maybe cumin.“
“Do you miss your favorite aunt and uncle? The ones who always have delicious food on the stove, time to listen to your celebrations and sorrows, and offer uplifting advice and encouragement over a cup of tea? From the moment I made reservations, I felt like a family member.Jamila's food was homey and comforting. The service was something I will remember for years to come. Everything at Jamila's is done with love. I can not recommend highly enough!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian couscous, several appetizers and dessertsDietary restrictions: I have multiple food restrictions, and each one was accommodated and respected(gf, df, alpha-gal)“
“So I have to say I went to eat here last night and I was here probably 2 weeks prior but last night wasn't quite as fresh as the first time I was there. I mean don't get me wrong, the food is still really good but I guess my expectations were a little higher because of my first experience... Nonetheless I would still recommend this place because the food is good and the service is great and they tend to be open a little later than a lot of other places so I'll definitely come back but just keep an eye on the quality of some things.Parking: Normally there is adequate parking but last night was really crowded and it was a little difficult to get a spot.“
“We are visiting New Orleans from Atlanta, and friends recommended Saj. We tried out much of their menu, and everything was fresh and delicious. Hard to say which one was my favorite. I think the goat cheese with nuts, the paprika spread, the pomegranate chicken kabob, the kofta. The bread is brought warm. Service was great too - prompt and warm. Will definitely be back. Thank you!“

“Perfect place for a party, get together or date night. The place has plenty of parking, fun atmosphere, has been decorated very tastefully and the food is incredible. Outstanding costumer service and cordial. So glad to have a diverse and unique venue in Metairie!“
“The food here is excellent. I had white fish Moroccan style and my husband had the lamb ragu. Both dishes were amazing. It was a stormy weather day and we went early so it was a lovely peaceful dinner. I would definitely go back when we visit New Orleans again. Thanks to Sam for great service as well.“
“I've been to Hummus and More a few times and have enjoyed it each time. Tonight we had a larger group and we were celebrating a birthday. Service was great, thank you, Mabel. The owners sent out complimentary dessert for the group. A very kind gesture thank you.“

“I very much enjoyed my lunch at tazikis. I got a gyro and some chips and a drink. It was a little pricey for a quick lunch but it was super yummy and fresh and different from other options on Metairie Rd. The staff was very kind and accommodating. I will be back next time over this way.“
“I'm from out of town and only wish I had found this place earlier. I received fast and very friendly service. It was fun to watch the locals roll in, order up and chat. The atmosphere was relaxing food, friendly neighborhood grocery mart vibe. The portions and quality of food were fantastic as well. I'll be back before I leave.“
“I'm a huge fan of gyros. This was the first time I have been to this location. They pros: quick service. I waited under 10 minutes for my plate. Large portions versus cost. They packed my plate and it wasn't just rice as filler. Cons: The taste was what you'd expect of gyro meat. I wasn't disappointed but I wasn't wow'd either. I would not recommend the spinach pie. It wasn't traditional. Decent taste but not the real thing.“
