Enjoyed an amazing lunch here!!! They had so many vegan options to pick from. The waiter was super nice and helpful in making sure certain items were vegan for me!! I ordered 5 apps all vegan and my husband got the chicken plate. We both loved our food and had leftovers to take home!! If you like cauliflower and hummus you must get the hummus with cauliflower and a pomegranate sauce. It is located right off the Saint Charles street car so excellent for visitors of the city or locals. Will def be coming back to try more of their vegan options!!!

If you are looking for a place for excellent Middle Eastern food Lebanon Cafe is a must. Lebanon Cafe is located on scenic Carrollton Avenue. We started with Greek salads, pita bread and hummus. All enjoyed. In our party one diner had the Gyro Wrap. The meat was seasoned just right and the Tzatzik sauce. Others in our party had the Combination Shawarma of chicken shawarma and gyro meat. All enjoyed very much. For dessert we shared portions of Baklava. Excellent. Lebanon Cafe does not serve alcohol but you are welcome to bring your own bottles of wine. Suggest Lebanon Cafe if you are looking for some of the best in Middle Eastern cuisine.

On a four night stay in New Orleans, visited the Lebanon Cafe twice.
The food is outstanding in taste and presentation. I had the lamb kabob one night, lamb chops the second and I can say I’ve never had lamb so tender, it was delightful.
Not only is the food first class but the welcome and service is top rate, both nights we were welcomed as if by old friends.
One thing! If you like a drink with your meal! Take it with you as no alcohol is served here. They will provide glasses and ice but you need to bring your own drink.
The whole experience is a lovely one and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
Forgot to say! Very well priced as well.

I love this place. I don't live in New Orleans anymore and of all the hundreds of restaurants I went through over the years I lived there I miss this most of all. Their rice is addictive like it's filled with little crack nuggets and I could eat their Kibby all day. I love everything. Except the Rosewater Tea. That grossed me out, but everything else is amazing. It's so cheap too!

Lebanon’s Cafe was once a favorite stop for my family and I. Recently we’ve noticed that the onions on various meals are served raw rather than sautéed. It would be a real enhancement if onions would be sautéed again. This will really bring the dish to its full potential.

Nice little location with street parking, indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has good variety. We ordered the zaatar bread, and Spinach Filo as an appetizer. Both were decent. The zaatar bread was just prepackaged pita bread with zaatar spice and side of raita/yogurt dipping sauce. The spinach filo was nice and crispy, a little unevenly cooked. Points were dark and the center Filo was a little pale in color... It was tasty though. For entrees, we ordered the chicken kabob, and the chef's special appetizer. The chicken kabob was ok, it had a little bit of an off smell to it while the tomatoes didn't look fresh and tasted it ok. I would not reorder it, it could have just been underwhelming spices. The chef's special plate appetizer was very good. They had nice baba ganoush, hummus, and lebna. The falafel were nice and crispy, a little small but tastes great. Grape leaves were nice, and the tabbouleh was fresh. It was an average lunch.

Visiting NO and chanced upon this restaurant. We had not previously enjoyed Lebanese cuisine. The service was efficient and friendly. The menu had a nice selection of appetizer and entree choices. Additionally, there were a couple of featured entrees of the day. Our appetizers and entrees were excellent. The atmosphere was cozy and warm which to summarize, made for an enjoyable dining experience.

Great Food, friendly servers and quick service. Great local restaurant in the uptown area near Oak Street. Super value for the money. We brought the whole family plus one and got out for less than $120. Brought our own wine and had a blast definitely a must if you are in the area.

Party of 6 came in during a busy period and a lovely server, Lavitha (sorry for misspelling) She was slammed with other tables yet made time for us and told me to
Order shrimp and spinach, which was amazing! Others ate shishkebob, gyros platter and baba ganush, etc…fantastic food, special thanks to Lavitha, she is a doll.

Great, quick service. My felafel was awesome. The hubs got kebobs, which he enjoyed. Our friends got salads which were so big, they couldn't finish them!

Menu is not updated. No Gyro Sandwich. At a Mediterranean Restaurant. This is Management’s fault. Will not return.
This location is uncool.
