All of the food we've tried is spot on. Great gyros, kebab, shwarma, salads and humus. Try the fried cheese appetizer. Friendly owners, upscale casual atmosphere. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Over the years, I’ve had a lot of Mediterranean food and this place is sub par as far as food taste is concerned. We had the soup which was good tho a bit watery. The fatoush salad lacked dressing and there were large pieces of uncut onions; the pita chips had the deep fried taste. The falafel was small and tasteless— virtually no seasoning or sauce. The service was good. I would recommend the chef taste their own food against some of the best places to improve food appeal.

The falafel was fine. It was not very flavorful. The fries were also bland. The meal was a good value though.

Racist with Indian people, had an eighteen month old , didn’t provide high chair, tables were dirty. When baby was playing with “sugar” packets raised his voice in front of a baby. When asked to lower didn’t cooperate and verbally threatened.

Not only did this place offer vegan option, the customer service was awesome. They were super friendly and funny and incredibly fast. I highly recommend this place if you’re in town.

We were a group of 10 people and requested spoons. The waiter, after bringing a few spoons, threw them in the middle of the table, and said, "Spoons are not part of our service." This behavior was very rude, especially in a Mediterranean restaurant where spoons are considered an essential utensil for many customers. We had never experienced such behavior in any type of restaurant before. Additionally and overall, compared to other restaurants, it had small portions and the quality was below average.

The purpose of writing this review is to help you improve your business by addressing these shortcomings. Best wishes for your success.

Falafel wrap was solid, but a little dry. I would ask for extra tahini or hot sauce on the side. The staff was nice too

If Shakshukha is supposed to be just boiled egg and roasted tomatoes and no sauce, good luck with this place. I got this packed and opened at my hotel room and this "dish" was mere spare parts and not a dish at all. The Pita bread was half baked and sticky in the mouth. So disappointed and my dinner was miserable

Vegetarian options: stay away from this place - there are plenty of excellent eateries all over New Orleans

The place was perfect. The server and maybe the owner did an amazing job. Great Turkish coffee. I got the kafta plate and the red lentil soup, and my friend ordered a gyro. This will be a must stop each time I'm in town. Tha is for a great meal.
