Chill Out Cafe - New Orleans

This was probably the best food we had while in New Orleans. Jamila's Cafe was a recommendation from a friend. I am so glad we went. It it a small place run by a husband and wife that serves some of the best food. My wife had the fish and I had the lamb chops. Both of our meals were PERFECT. It was so hood i forgot to get a picture. This is a place we will return to every visit to New Orleans. When you get tired of the gumbo, jambalaya, and the fried foods giveJamila's Cafe a try you will not regret it.

The food wasn 't what I expected. I have been to North Africa and I excepted better of the couscous and tagine. The desert was great. The owner was rude and tried to come of nice. I had questions about menu and things the owner told the waitress that we aren 't doing this. This made me really want to leave but the owner seems to know how to play the culture card. I left. It is more of a local spot and it seems like that 's all they can handle. Also, the belly dancers onSaturday hasn 't oocured since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, so if you want to go for this Arabian experience it is not happening.

An under rated and often overlooked gem of a restaurant. Jamilla's is a family owned business. Jamila is the chef, and her husband runs the front. The food is excellent. This time, we had the mussels, eggplant salad, couscous with fish, and fish with chutney. All were excellent. Atmosphere is nothing special. But the host/server is attentive and personable. We dine out 5 times per week, mostly Uptown. Frankly, we don't come often enough to Jamila's.

Ok so yesterday i gave this place a shot, and since i come from the same country as this restaurant does, i can have a valid opinion on it, so the food is very far from Tunisian authentic food, the Ojja Merguez was too dry and had no broth or sauce that you can't eat it with bread like it's supposed to be eaten, it's kind of americanized that you gotta use forks to eat it, which is not the authentic way. I had Salade Mechouia and it was okay.. it lacked olive oil though, theBrik with Tuna was nice i give them credit for that, i have a few comments on the bread supply, so they would give you a basket of bread that's not enough for the food, i had to ask for bread every 5 minutes and it would take time to getit, i gotta mention the long waiting time to get your food too, i was also moved from my spot 2 times to leave it for other people which was very uncomfortable, I expected a warmer welcome and i came here mainly to chat and have a good timewith my countrymen, unfortunately I didn't get any of that.

Wonderful. You treat it like you're eating at your aunts and uncles house. Only your aunt and uncle can't cook this good. And they don't have this nice of a wine selection. The bread the escargot and the lamb magnificent!
