This place is AMAZING! I had no idea there was a Jewish Deli in this area. I had the bagel and locs......TO DIE FOR, I am forever ruined, I will only now have bagel and locs from here from now on.

We called on a friday afternoon to make a delivery order, as this is one of the only kosher places in NOLA. We ordered about 8 meals and on the phone we asked for enough plates and utensils for 10 people. On the phone when we kept asking how much the total would be, they kept evading the answer and told us they would call us back to confirm the final price. They never ended up calling to let us know and they delivered the food about 2 hours later to our hotel.We were extremely shocked to find out that they had charged $15 for the plates and utensils! Usually these are included in delivery orders for free and it was very deceptive of them to not mention that price. Also keep in mind there is a $25 delivery charge and they are not on any food delivery services.They also charged us 89 cents per garlic mayo side which was also not disclosed! $10 in total for terrible surgery sauce that tastes nothing like garlic mayo.When we called the restaurant they were extremely defensive, rude and unapologetic. They kept saying the plates charge and garlic mayo charge was on the menu but i am attaching the menu we ordered from, it did NOT say anything about this charge. They then hung up on me. Despicable customer service.

Very nice store and deli, with a nice selection of unique groceries and a good wine selection. I'm now Jewish, but I imagine this place is a real haven for anyone kosher or just looking for a New York style kosher deli vibe.

I don’t have the experience to comment on authenticity, for whatever that is worth. But I will say the food was delicious and fresh. Matzoh ball soup was tasty, ball had light fluffy texture and broth tasted more complex and neither greasy nor too salty. J&N sandwich very good too.

I am currently finishing up a three day visit to a conference in New Orleans and can say only good things about Joel Brown and his wife and their Kosher Cajun New York, deli and restaurant. Hit them up directly from the airport for great chopped liver platter and a hot pastrami sandwich on rye. Fast service, and comparable or better to what one could get in New York, Miami, Baltimore and you can't get food like that in Atlanta at a sit down place. I needed 3 days of meals and so I left the kosher Cajun equipped with Sunday night dinner which was grilled chicken salad and it was excellent. Also some Biegel's rugalach. The next morning Joel delivered fresh food to the hotel, which consisted of an excellent tuna salad sandwich (which I had to assemble from bread and tunafish, lettuce and tomato to ensure it's freshness and not it being a soggy mess) To a container of delicious turkey and sausage jambalaya for dinner. This morning's delivery consisted of a imitation shrimp Poboy sandwich as well as this evening roast beef and turkey on rye. In addition, he supplied my boss with pastrami sandwiches for his trip back to Atlanta. The epic climax of my experience with the kosher Cajun came this evening when my non-Jewish boss decided to wine and dine our non-Jewish clients In a decidedly non-kosher steakhouse here in New Orleans. After a good deal of last minute finagling and arrangements with the restaurant, they reached out to the kosher Cajun to request a sealed and certified kosher steak dinner, which I could enjoy at the same table as my non-Jewish colleagues The meal was delivered well in advance of our arrival time, and the kitchen staff followed the reheating directions exactly. The result was an excellent salad with a roll (so I could break bread with my non-Jewish colleagues) prime rib steak, accompanied by potatoes and green beans , I will say without reservation the quality of this meal, taste, presentation on China with silverware and overall experience was nothing less than excellent, and certainly on par if not better than the non-kosher offerings my colleagues were eating! The restaurant was equally as impressed, especially after I conveyed my thoughts about the excellent nature of this meal, and its overall experience. The kosher Cajun is clearly an almost undiscovered treasure in the US kosher community. I would highly recommend that if you are going to be in the New Orleans area that you find them, sample their fantastic menu offerings, and then resolve to do I did, which is to basically remain Fleishig for every dinner during the week and at least 2 lunches. You will not go hungry and you will not be sorry!

Had the pleasure to meet the owner Joel and his sister-in-law, they were both amazing friendly people. This "not so small' market has everything you could ask for, and has excellent food at reasonable pricing. Will definitely eat here again next time I'm visiting NOLA.

Sweet little place, with excellent kosher sandwiches and kind and friendly service. A store as well as a deli - informal and fun but not a place for a fancy dinner.
