"Who goes to Nola and think's Can't wait to try the Mediterranean food ? Well neither did I, but I will from now on. The Kabob House in Metairie has an incredible assortment of different drinks, foods, and desserts if you need a little change of pace from fried oysters and gumbo. What is seriously more impressive is that the food here was just as good as any I've had in NYC. New Orleans is a food town, but I had no idea this style of food was something I could find here with such quality.For the drinks I tried a soda that I had never heard of called Vimto that had black currants and other varieties of fruit with Hibiscus. I couldn't drink this all the time because it was very sweet, but it was excellent. The gentleman working the register also talked me into trying a yogurt drink. The best way for me to describe this is it was almost like liquid cottage cheese. The texture wasn't off-putting at all but I think this is one of those cultural things that you appreciate more if you grew up on it.The Falafel was very good. Brown fried crust opens to bright green inside and the flavor was totally on point. These were maybe $1 or less a piece and totally worth it. Also came with a tasty dipping sauce but they're plenty good on their own.The Chicken Shawarma over salad was really solid also. Nice crispy pieces from the outside of the spit but also still very tender and flavorful.The Kofta Kabob was seasoned perfectly and was gone before I could even take a picture of it! I am usually not even a huge kofta fan but this was excellent.The Beef Shawarma however was the best dish here, and it wasn't even close. The flavor and texture were as good or better than any I've ever had. Some pieces were more cooked than others and honestly, I'm not even sure which ones I preferred. This was served over hummus and that was also very good. Smooth and not grainy at all with excellent flavor all blended together.Goes without saying but i'll say it anyway, The Kabob House in Metairie, Louisiana Didn't Suck!"

"Staff and food in Peppermill are always wonderful! My family and I had a New Year's dinner every year for the last 25 years. This year we had to cancel the death of our patriarch, my grandfather. We asked if we could do a great job, to go very short and to commit them graciously. They helped us turn a very sober dark day into a beautiful gathering to honor our favorite man! Very gracious The Robert family. Thank you for making it!!!!"

"We ordered from here for lunch and we?re surprised with the poor quality and taste of everything. I ordered the quinoa kale salad with salmon and there was no kale, the lettuce was sparse and wilted, the quinoa was a gelatinous mash with little flavor. We ordered the avocado toast which turned out to be toast with the ?idea of avocado? spread on top. The soups were ok but you could get the same quality form a grocery store can. The baguette was ok, but again low quality. The green beans were tasteless and overcooked but somehow still rubbery. Would not recommend."

"Just tried this place for the first time, yesterday! Everything was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and the service was excellent! Your drink will never fall below 3/4 without being refilled! The owner (I assume) walks around, greets, and talks to everyone and the entire staff continuously check to make sure you're happy and doing well!"
