An uptown New Orleans mainstay for years. Chicken Schwarma salad is consistently high-quality with garden fresh greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta and olives. Open 7 days/nights weekly. Hefty portions and reasonable prices make this a go-to winner for lunch and dinner.
My group of three had a late dinner here on a Saturday night. Parking was surprisingly easy! The inside of the restaurant is very casual. The A/C was weird, like super cold and blowing all in our faces. It was too much. We did have a bit of a wait for our food, but I thought that it was worth the wait. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate with an “extra” side of tzatziki sauce. For some odd reason, they filled my plate with tzatziki and didn’t give me any hummus. The server was quick to resolve and brought me a “small” plate of hummus. The serving was smaller than what the other guest had on her actual plate, so I do feel like I was cheated in that regard. All of the food was very delicious (chicken, salad and hummus)! The pita bread is never-ending (yay)! I’d definitely return…with the hope that I’ll get my full serving of hummus next time lol.

Our homemade vegetarian recipe made with red lentils.
Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves
Stuffed with basmati rice & vegetables. Served with tzatziki sauce.
For our entrees:
Vegetarian Plate
A palate-pleasing selection of hummus, baba ganuj, tabouleh & falafel. *Served without sides.
Chicken Shawarma
Marinated chicken breast hand-sliced off a vertical rotisserie. Served with tzatziki sauce.
Hummus with Lamb and Beef
Lamb and beef seasoned with chef-style spices then sauteed with onions, tomatoes, green beans, mushrooms & eggplant.
Such a great early lunch with our friends!
Thanks Lebanon's Cafe!

I really enjoyed my time here. The food was delicious and there were some vegan options. It's a bit pricy but the food is definitely worth it. The inside is pretty low-key with the exceptions of the decorative walls and beautiful mural. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that service was extremely slow. Our server seemed to be the only person working while a group of 4-5 employees and a manager watched her stress with multiple tables. She was amazing though! Just wish she had a little more help! Check this place out.
Such a nice neighborhood joint for an easy, delicious dinner. My family and I go here all the time and we love the middle eastern food. The appetizer sampler platter is yum and so is everything else. Enjoy!
The best Lebanese/middle eastern food on the planet. Incredible in every way, has been a staple in my life since childhood. Great gluten free, vegan, vegetarian options for literally anyone. Service is always friendly, my only request is to please bring back the iced mint tea!!
Dinner here was the result of a last minute google after our original dinner choice turned out not to be what we wished. Dinner here turned out to be exactly what we wanted! Excellent, prompt service and delicious food. This definitely goes on the list of places to revisit. My favorite item would have to be the hummus with cauliflower and pomegranate sauce. I was happily surprised at how well the combination worked. Glad we tried Lebanon’s cafe.
Restaurant seemed a little busy, but everything was very smoothly. We were helped right away. I am used to prices to Houston, so this place is a little more expensive. We were family of 3 so Food and quality of food were excellent. Everything so Fresh. Tastes fantastic.
One of the best places to have Mediterranean food. However, I feel the lamb kebab plate portion size is smaller than the remaining kebab plates. I do like the taste and quality. It is my go to for middle eastern food. It is usually not busy in the afternoon, but can get busier for dinner. Best
Excellent place. The food is really really good, with a special taste. This was my first time with this kind of food, and it was a magical experience. The condiments that they use to cook all kind of meat and vegetables and everything are very delicious and well selected and combined. I also tried a rose tea, and it was wonderful too. The service was good and helpful. I went there with 9 more friends and everyone enjoyed very much this place and most of all its excellent food.
Recommend.
Though the kibby come one to order, they are BiG. They do have a thicker breading on the outside than I am used to, but they were still amazing. The taziki sauce has large chunks of cucumber, giving it a stronger cucumber taste. It’s a matter of preference whether you like that or not. Still good. I ordered a chicken shawarma salad (they add feta, cucumbers, red onions, and tomatoes to it). The chicken was really good. It was a good salad. My husband was also happy with his side Greek salad. They also toss in complimentary pita (maybe it came with my salad).
Oh and they also sell mango juice 😄🥭
Today it was my first time to dine here. Some of me customers highly recomanded this place and they where right!! Pleasant atmosphere, very nice service and every dish was DELICIOUS! Lamb, chicken, salads, hummus and baklava where fresh and tasty! Also, please try the Lebanese tea;))
Thank You for this amazing experience!:*
Theres alot of people in and out this restauraunt. In general the food is good. They have several hummus or baba ganuj type dip. Spinach and artichoke dip with pita bread. I ordered the rosemary lamb chops which were good. And didnt picture the eggplant dip, but it was good as well. I will need to inquire about gluten free pita bread if they have. Anyway this place had alot of togo orders today
Found this on the website and soooooo happy we did!! I had the lamb kebob served with house made hummas and a salad with a great vinaigrette. Such tasty and tender lamb!!!! My son had the grilled salmon and was very happy with it too. Plus we had Labna and pita bread that was also very good. Highly recommend this place. It is a college area go to so a little loud but not enough to downgrade it. Really good service too!!
Delicious food with great portions.. Very nice staff. Our waitress was wonderful. We had the Chicken Shawarma and Combo Kabobs. Will definitely be going back soon.
I found this place just randomly riding a street car. The portions are huge. Enough for leftovers. I enjoyed my platter. The staff are a bit interpersonal. They start asking personal questions. Feels awkward to be asked personal things from a stranger.
