The food was very delicious, I wish there was one where I’m from. I would order from here all the time if that were the case

Server never came back to the table or offered drink refill. Had to ask for the check after waiting more than 15 mins after we were done eating. Food was delicious though.

Great little spot for a quick meal that is delicious. The hummus is perfect and I really enjoyed the flavors in the gyro. Will definitely stop by again.

Extremely delicious food! Fast service, friendly staff, great portions. We got the beef shawarma plate, side of fries and some lentils to share. Still had leftovers even after 2 of us had our fill. No frills and casual dining with amazing quality food.

Although the food was good, the service wasn’t the best. A couple came in after us and sat behind us, yet the server proceeded to tend to them first (handing out menus, taking orders, etc.) while passing by our table each time. Once it was time for the check, the server became even more inattentive, and we had to call him over several times, even though the restaurant was nearly empty at that point.

Delicious casual middle eastern food, right off Canal Street in the business district. Friendly staff. Hit a spot perfectly with a chicken Shawarma pita.

I’ve eaten lots of Middle Eastern food, but this food was especially delicious. Reasonably priced. Good selection.

I ordered the Half and Half Shawarma. This wasn't presented how I've had shawarma before, but the food was incredible. The meat is cooked and seasoned to perfection. The salad is fresh and the hummus compliments everything. I also ordered the Fresh Baklava, and unfortunately it was anything but fresh. Pass on dessert here. But the food is great.
Our server, Hani, was hysterical. Very dry sense of humor and quick witted. I enjoyed his personality. I'll chalk it up to a language barrier, but it also made for a confusing ordering experience. When our party had a question on the menu, none of us left positive we understood the answer. We all took leaps of faith, but the food was so good that ended up working out. The only frustration I had was after we got our food, we couldn't get his attention for refills or the check. I finally got proactive to get it done.
It's a small restaurant. That was a big surprise when our party of 10 walked in. If you have a big party, I recommend calling to make a reservation, but they accommodated us without a big to-do. The restaurant is clean and quiet. Having better expectations, I would eat here again knowing it's not exactly what I thought it would be. The food is fantastic and will be the healthiest thing you eat in your visit to New Orleans.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. The stuffed grape leaves were my favorite with the baba ghanoush and hummus a close second. Plus they were very generous with the pita
