Gentilly Spicy Kitchen

A very unique dinning experience. They have a large menu on the wall after making your selection you walk to the window and order and wait for your number. After collecting the food. I was pleasantly surprised with huge portions of fish and all the sides. The potato salad was good, a little bit on the mustard side. The macaroni and cheese was out of this world amazing!! The corn was very nice. It had a large flavor and was excellent with the fish. The only thing that would have made it better is a little bit of tartar sauce for dipping, but other than that amazing experience!!

We almost didn't see the place because the sign is faded, and it's on the bottom floor of what looks more like an apartment building. It's definitely got a very clean, but hole-in-the-wall family restaurant atmosphere. We ordered a seafood platter, greens and smothered pork chop plate, and a half lemonade-half sweet tea drink for very inexpensive prices for the amount of food and quality we got. It was a very good value. It was my boyfriend's first time eating at the restaurant, and he has lived in NOLA 15 years and ate soul food growing up. He said the yams reminded him of plates brought to his family at holiday time from Black southern families. The fried fish was crispy and flaky. As soon as I tasted the greens, I said, "That's what greens are supposed to taste like." The pork chop was so tender, eating it with a spork was no problem. I will definitely be back to try their ribs and fried chicken. If I had to cater an event or wanted to get take out for a family party, I would not hesitate to order food from here. All the staff were very friendly! Loved it!
