Nice sized seating area for what I expected to be a small place. We ordered the Halloumi Cheese Cheese, Chicken and Gyro Plate, and the Chicken Scaloppini with Pasta. The fried cheese was amazing, as was the Chicken Scaloppini! I wasn't blown away by the shawarma, the gyros and hummus were average. With the meats being quite dry. They appear to have a full bar, but I'd advise you pass on the Margarita's, which were not good, The Service however was quite good. I will happily say that the Chicken Dish and Fried Cheese were worth the drive and will bring me back for another visit. These two things alone are Worth 3.5 Stars. But I hesitate to give this restaurant a 4. My Thinking is that a Mediterranean Restaurant should make a very good basic shawarma & gyro. There were several other options on the menu that we want to try, so again we will return and give it another go. I'll update my review then.

Absolutely, fantastic food, great service, friendly staff, and clean bathrooms. Highly recommended. Definitely worth getting off the freeway for!
Best tortellini I've had in a while. Chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Absolutely will be ordering again!

The food is absolutely delicious! Desserts are amazing. I can honestly say I enjoyed the Lemon Blueberry Cake and Red Velvet Cheesecake.

Great Greek! Our fav is chicken/gyro ombination plate with extra humus ... plus mediterranean salad. We order take out here several times a month. Can't really rate atmosphere because only ordet take out. Desert cakes are incredible - i always add a few to our to go order when wife sends me to pick up alone :)
This is hands down the best Greek/Mediterranean restaurant we have had the pleasure of trying. We ordered the sampler platter for two. To be honest, we should have ordered for one. The portions are abundant. The taste had us longing for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This was as authentic as you’re gonna get. Even the starter plates were extremely fresh and bountiful. The servers were just as friendly and accommodating as one would expect from a five star restaurant. We will be back.
Placed an order to go and got an estimate of 15-20 minutes. Got there around the 18/20 minute mark to food not being done. Originally thought no problem. Then it took over half an hour to get it done. Nearly an hour turnaround. Completely unacceptable.

I was very surprised how good this restaurant was, as this was my first visit from out of town. Such a quiet environment, excellent service, and large quantities of food. If u love Mediterranean food, u will likely enjoy eating here.
Best Mediterranean food in Denham Springs. Go have dinner here or even order to go! You will not be disappointed.

Cafe Phoenicia is the best place in the world and I would eat there every night if I could ? ! Everything is good so it doesn’t matter what you get but , of course I have my favorites! And all the people are so nice there and always make you feel welcome ? ✅
Absolutely will not be a customer of Cafe Phoenician again, horrible customer service and found MULTIPLE long hairs in our food today, VERY RUDE when confronted about it.
Awesome food and great service for a business lunch. A must stop when I'm in town.

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service. The food is fresh and delicious. Also they are generous with their portions and the food is reasonably priced. We come to Cafe Phoenicia after we visit Bass Pro Shop during Christmas time every year. It's a nice tradition.
