The food was so good, I cried. Not an exaggeration. I had the Baby Ganoush, Lamb Hummus, and Crispy Halloumi. The food was accompanied with free fresh pita. It might not seem like a lot, only 3 dishes right? I was so full by the time I left that I wish I had only gotten two items. My favorite out of the 3 dishes was the Lamb Hummus. The hummus was smooth and the lamb added an amazing flavor that tears came to my eyes. I didn't like the Crispy Halloumi as much as I thought I would. I think the apricot flavor was a little overpowering and the cheese couldn't shine alongside it. Another thing that made my experience unique is that it was also happy hour when I dined in so the hummus was HALF off. So mind-blowing that something so delicious could be affordable. From $18 to only $9 to experience a piece of heaven! I feel like I've got to go here every time I'm in New Orleans now to try all the other menu items. The service was amazing, the waitress attending me was very kind and had great r

Simple and cozy ambience! The food was very well presented and tasted great. The flavors were very authentic. They have a huge range of hummus options. Highlight is the fresh baked pita bread that is served hot. Special shout out to our waitress Alexis, she is very sweet and attentive. Overall a fantastic experience! Must visit place for anyone who is visiting New Orleans.
