“To give you a sense of the kind of service and care, the waitress informed us that she does not give a check until asked so that people can stay at the table as long as they like and not feel rushed. The owner is a wonderful character. He makes you feel like family and that is part of what makes the atmosphere so pleasant. Of course it's a restaurant. So it's the food that's most important. I had the grilled fish of the day .I can't recall having a better seasoned and cooked fish. Everything was wonderful. A little quirk is that they do not have hard liquor on the menu. It's available, but don't expect any exotic drinks. We will be returning.“

“Visited with my friends on 2/17. We placed our orders and waited 55 minutes to get our food. They were not terribly busy and the staff did not seem to care that we had waited for so long. I understand that it was Mardi Gras day so maybe they were understaffed. However, I really enjoyed the food!“

CAVA

CAVA Mediterranean • $
5001 Freret St, New Orleans

“I visited during the mid day Sunday shift and observed that I read her name tag Heaven was the only team member working on the floor. She remained friendly, professional, and attentive despite managing the workload alone. However, it was apparent that the volume of guests and operational demands would typically require additional staff to ensure a seamless and efficient experience. From a customer perspective, the lack of support was noticeable and indicates an opportunity for improved organization and staffing during peak hours.“

“Don't let the location of this place fool you. I've eaten here countless times, and while picking up my salad with shawarma the other day, I realized why it's so good. The chef (also owner) was placing the chicken piece by piece on the salad rather than just throwing it on there. I ended up chatting with him and he let me know that he and his family cook at the restaurant just like they cook at home. There is true pride in ownership. If you haven't tried Shawarma on the Go, you're missing out.“

“The Hillel Center is a lovely place on campus with tons of events. I had the privilege of being a part of their “My City and Me” art show in which high school students displayed their work. Everyone was very welcoming and the students were so proud to have the exposure on a college campus. I will definitely check out future art shows here. Thanks, Hillel!“
