“The food at Saba was delicious, simple, and fresh! The humus and pita was definitely the star of the show. I could've eaten the blue crab hummus as a meal alone. The shrimp dish was good, but not as wonderful as the rest of the meal! The green falafel was definitely a favorite as well, even if it is simpler than some of the other options. There was slight disappointment in the chicken not being available, so be prepared for disappointment if going on a weekend or busy time as they may sell out! Service was great and the restaurant has wonderful charm to it! I recommend eating in the lounge if available when making your reservations!“
“I ordered the Vegan Feast. I wish there was more falafel for the amount of two hummus, one beet salad/kimchi, one salad, and one other type of hummus. The amount of food for the cost in NOLA sure, but I wish I had ordered 2-3 days ago so I could eat it all.“
“Had dinner 3/16/24, and ate outside. Food was excellent, good portions and an very reasonable prices. Service was laid back and good. Clean establishment. they do not serve any alcohol, however they allow you o bring your own beer and wine, without a corkage fee.I only gave 4 stars, people are allowed to bring their dogs. I love dogs, but try sitting down to eat and a big one does his business next to you. Not here, but it could happen. Also, people were allowed to smoke in the outside area.I would recommend and return, but most likely sit inside.“
“This place, LOVE IT!! I drive an hour and a half just to come and eat here!! The food is delicious!! Doesn't matter what you have, it's all good (especially the lamb shank!!) but come early because sometimes they run out! The interior is very casual and relaxed and they have some outdoor seating which I found is nice also! This place can get pretty crowded but for the most part they can handle a good size crowd. Definitely check this place out, great price for the food and quality of the food you get! One of my top 10 gavotte favorite places to go eat at in New Orleans! Oh, its a BYOB place...Parking: There are side streets you can park on including the main street but sometimes it gets crowded... you might have to walk a bit but walking never really hurt anyone!“
“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!“
“This was one of the best (and fastest) restaurants I enjoyed in NOLA. They have gluten free pita which is such a plus for us gluten free people, but overall the food was so fresh, so good, and so satiating. I was in need of a meal that made me feel good after eating and finally we tripped over this restaurant. 11/10 this was truly amazing food.“
“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.“
“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!“
“You might not expect much from a corner style store but this is hands down one of my all time favorite spots! It just reminds me of a neighborhood store where you can just so happen to get a BANGIN meal with counter service. This is what we call a "hidden gem" because it's like asking a genie for a beautiful, delicious meal full of life and flavor with aromatics and tantalizing tastes - then with the twist genie's usually give - you find yourself in a place with no tables or chairs to eat it at. The experience of what your tastebuds witness is worth eating standing up, walking, taking back to a place you can enjoy or just diving in right there on Canal street surrounded by construction. I feel like this really gives you the bility to focus in on just the food where some restaruants have too much happening as part of the experience. This is simple and strictly about the taste and quality of food. Not to mention this is the only place I've been in all of America that has vegetarian mousakka.“
“Surprisingly, a fusion that really works is Israeli and Southern food at Shaya. Located along Magazine Street, it's a small restaurant with inviting staff. Booking a reservation on a Monday at noon, our party of four walked in and were served in no time.To feed myself, wife, mother-in-law, and seven-year-old daughter, we ordered the fried chicken hummus, mushroom hummus, pide, and three dips (labneh, beets, and moussaka). We were literally full from noon to the next morning. The pita bread comes out hot unlimited and it's filling!Literally, every dish was great, but I found the sweetness of the date salsa verde and the savory of the aleppo pepper worked well on the fried chicken hummus. (The hummus is so smooth!) My wife and mother-in-law loved the mushroom hummus best.Don't sleep on the drinks. The pomegranate lemon soda was refreshing, Lebanese iced tea sweet, and the mint tea comes with a pitcher of more.If you love good food, go here!“
