“I've been to Hummus and More a few times and have enjoyed it each time. Tonight we had a larger group and we were celebrating a birthday. Service was great, thank you, Mabel. The owners sent out complimentary dessert for the group. A very kind gesture thank you.“

“Great experience at Shaya! Aside from it being terrific, the service was so friendly! What a great place!“

“I ordered the kebab platter. The tahini sauce tasted better than any tahini sauce I have tasted. The Greek salad had very fresh lettuce considering it’s a Sunday night when most restaurants serve slightly wilted lettuce. The hamburger shaped kebabs topped with small sticks of pickles and very thinly sliced onions. When dipped it in the garlic sauce, it was delicious. Now that I think about it I wish I would’ve asked for a spoon so I could have gotten more good rice in my mouth. I wanted something light and filling, and I sure got it. I was totally satisfied when I left the place. It was very clean and appealing and the help was very friendly. When I leave Houston to come visit my sister, Shawarma on the Run will definitely be a stop for us.“

“Best fresh salad, chicken kabobs, lamb chops and hummus!!“

“It was my first times patronizing this cafe. The food was delicious, great flavor. It won’t be my last time.“

“The food is amazing! Waitstaff are the kindest, most caring bunch. They'll make you feel like family! They serve all foodie types! We eat here 1x a month, if not more..Place a to go order, and go next door to the grocery store to pick up the eccentals, then grab your food on your way out!“

“This has been our favorite restaurant for 10+ years. Can’t say enough about the food and service. My wife and I always ask for Carlin. She’s an excellent waitress and a sweetheart. With that being said, we’ll probably not be going back except maybe for a special occasion. The prices have gotten to be “above our pay grade”. We’ll miss you Carlin.“

“Excellent quick food service! I was impressed with the open kitchen and the freshness of the meat. We had the gyro wrap plate and the chicken shawarma plate. Both with salad which tasted better than it looked, and hummus, which was good, but not as thick as I'm used to. I thought for the price the serving size was fair. As others have noted, they do charge extra for pita bread. Overall pretty good and will definitely return!“

“Soooo good!!! I had the lamb and chicken platter. When I tell you the meat is seasoned so well!! The hummus is delicious and flavorful and the dressing on the salad tasted homemade, it’s so delicious. 10/10 must try!!! I can’t wait to go“

“I ordered the vegan shawarma that came with the hummus, Israeli salad, hummus, pita and also ordered a mint lemonade. The mint lemonade was delightful - I sucked it down within just a few minutes. Everything was really good, but the pita was the best pita that I have ever had! It was warm and soft - I can't wait to go back for more. Delicious.“

“We were at a conference at the Marriott and wanted a healthy choice of food. Cleo's did not disappoint! The menu had several dishes to choose from and the food was so fresh and delicious! We had the lamb kebabs, salad, saffron rice and hummus. I want to go back and try other dishes while we are here. It was a quiet and intimate atmosphere if you are looking for a break from the noisy NOLA scene. Prices were very reasonable!Vegetarian options: Vegetables were cooked fresh, salad was amazingDietary restrictions: There were so many options to choose from. I did not want bread or fried food, and we found the dishes delicious and fresh and portions of meat and vegetables large and satisfying!Kid-friendliness: There were children eating there, they seemed to enjoy the hummus!“

“This place was great! The food was delicious beyond expectations, and the prices were very reasonable. We aren’t fancy restaurant people, so the laid back easy atmosphere was fine for us. The staff was super friendly. And what’s better than sitting on a barstool right at the front windows watching people go down a dirty sidewalk in New Orleans? It will always be a favorite in NOLA.“

“Probably some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. The creamiest hummus with loads of flavor. Really good baklava. Don't be put off by the fact this is inside an unassuming bodega - wfich ny the way has literally every kind of single serve beverage you can imagine as well as a huge vairiety of snack foods I've never seen. This is not an eat-in establishment. Take your food to go.“
