The restaurant Afrodisiac Nola in New Orleans LAThis restaurant is definitely worth the experience! Great Customer Service! Everyone was friendly! They are very busy but quick!They food was very good! We were looking for some Jamaican food! And was recommended this location by some of the local barbers ?!We ordered the oxtails and fish with brussels sprouts and sweet potato plantain .It was delicious! Highly recommend this location for some great food!If traveling at night you may miss it the area is dark! Because we missed it!It’s a business that looks like a house . Great art work on the walls of the business ! It’s the first thing I noticed when I walked in! Medium Space for dining area ! Does have back yard seating ! Go and enjoy yourself!

We decided to dine at Aphrodisiac for 3 reasons: our Airbnb hostess said it was a neighborhood favorite, the reviews were great and it's black owned.The entire time we dined, there was a constant flow of customers coming to place/pickup orders (this was a Friday night).I had the cucumber/avocado/pineapple salad which was refreshing. I also enjoyed the sweet potato/plantain mash and Caribbean fries. The curry shrimp plate was just ok...it didn't help that I had to pick the sausage out that I'd requested to NOT be included.The kind gentleman with the long locs came over to ask how everything was, which was appreciated. We also liked all of the wall art.Aside from the sausage, my biggest complaint was how filthy the front door (the part above and below the knob) was. It needs to be wiped down ASAP! I cringed everytime someone touched it. ?
Very cool Afro-Jamaican vibe. This place transports you. And the seasoning is incredible. Will have to come back to try more dishes. Had a jerk chicken sandwich and I’m certain it’s the best I’ve ever
Do I recommend this business? You're damn right I do!When you walk in, you're going to see colorful painted walls. It really sets the atmosphere on the experience you're about to get. The service was great. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. They showed us how we could order - which was to either go up to the register or use QR code.Started off with a frozen mango daiquiri, and I absolutely love it. It's not one of those daiquiri's that are loaded with added sugar. It was just natural and taste amazing. I'm still thinking about it.The food? Wow. I ordered the jerk oyster mushrooms as shown in the photo and was not disappointed. They were cooked and crisp to perfection right along with one of the sides I ordered - the roasted Brussels. Along with that, came the sweet plantain mash, which was creamy and a good balance to the savory items. Then of course, the rice and peas went great with the garlic cabbage.Everything was good and I will definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. You won't regret it!

Oh man, ever have a meal so fire that words simply won't do it justice so it takes you a few weeks to write a review? That's how I've been with this place. We rolled in for lunch, six stomachs growling, and devoured everything in sight. Cocktails, apps, mains, sides - not a single dud.And then there were the Brussels sprouts. I expected the usual greasy sugary bomb (which has a time and place). But no sir, not these bad boys. Every bite was like a tiny hallelujah chorus for vegetables. The seasoning emphasized the freshness of the sprouts. It wasn't just the food, though. You could tell this chef cared, like he poured his soul into every spice sprinkle and ingredient choice. We even saw him coming back from maybe a grocery run with what can only be described as a farmers' market bounty of fresh produce. The drinks were crafted with the same love, layers of thoughtfully considered flavor.We bathed in sunshine on their gorgeous patio in the backyard, served by the sweetest folks from the chef himself, to the server, to the bussers. The seating was ample there. I left dreaming of return visits, my stomach already plotting its next meal. I cannot emphasize how much you owe it to your tastebuds to go to Afrodisiac. Trust me.
Ohh my, a jewel right in my neighborhood!! This Jamaican meal was by far the best I've had in a long time! My belly is happy?

Went a couple hours before they closed and they cooked the food fresh, it was so good! If we were local we definitely would eat here all the time. Recommend for tourists to try. The plantains and Brussels were our favorite. My girlfriend said she could have just eaten those and would have been happy with the meal. The chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly and very well seasoned. A great choice for our first time in New Orleans! They were also really nice!
