I’m sorry to do this and I love the food here, but the past couple months the actual restaurant has been *disgusting*. Not only is there visibly dirt, grime, food, and stains all over the floor and every surface, but it smells AWFUL. They seriously need to hire a professional crew to deep clean the place and then they need to maintain it. I am not asking for much, I understand that it is in a gas station, but it does not even meet the minimum standard of cleanliness that you would find at any fast food restaurant.

The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty. The swarma plate is huge and comes with very tasty rice and a salad. The meat is seasoned well and the salad dressing was wonderful. Not enough pita bread so order extra. One thing though... the Baba Ganou does not come with pita bread. You have to order that separately. Ask for some extra pita bread and you'll be fine!

Heard rave reviews about this place. I'm an avid Lebanese food enjoyer, so I knew I had to stop by. Oftentimes in New Orleans, the best food comes from small, unassuming places in gas stations. Unfortunately, this establishment's food did not deliver.Food - Tried the chicken shawarma platter. I've eaten at many many Lebanese restaurants, and the food at this establishment ranks among the bottom. The chicken shawarma was tough and not tender. The tzatziki sauce poured on top was not much of a sauce, so much as an unappetizing white congealed mass. The hummus was perhaps the worst aspect of the meal - far too runny and extremely acidic/sour. And they do not even make their pita bread from scratch - they merely heat up a store bought pita for you (and charge you extra for it! Apparently it is not included in the shawarma platter). The most important aspects of the chicken shawarma missed their mark completely, creating a disappointing experience.Service - N/A, essentially a takeout restaurant with a few tables in the gas stationAmbiance - It's a gas station. Don't expect too much hereIf you're going to have a small restaurant within a gas station, you have to deliver on the food if you expect repeat customers. Unfortunately, the food didn't deliver, and I won't be a repeat customer.

So good and the owner is very friendly. Took my daughter here after her doc appt cause she wanted shawarma...it did not disappoint! We'll be back again next time we're in New Orleans!
Best shawarma and gyros in the city. Short wait, friendly staff, and fantastic food. Don’t hesitate because it’s in a gas station, it’s separate and completely

Amazing food, great service, clean restaurant. We come here at least once a week. Love it! The food is so delicious every time! Definitely come here to eat. We get the chicken shawarma plate(always have leftovers it's so much food) and we get the gyro wrap. Delicious!

The gyro wrap was spot on. I'm glad I discovered this gem! Dip the fries in the garlic sauce, you're welcome (:
