The Fat Falafel - New Orleans

This place offers exceptional Mediterranean cuisine in a charming yet laid-back setting. You place your order at the counter, and the interior is quite unpretentious. It feels more like a lunchtime spot than a dinner venue. The food is absolutely delicious; we particularly enjoyed the spicy chicken, falafel, and the assortment of vegetable dishes we tried. While their wine selection isn't extensive, the options available are delightful and reasonably priced. We enjoyed an Armenian wine that I had never tasted before, and it was truly wonderful. If you're in the mood for high-quality ingredients and dishes crafted by skilled cooks, this is the place to be.

We had been eager to visit this delightful little restaurant near Bayou St. John, and we absolutely loved it! We ordered The Feast (or something similar) and added the charred scallion whipped feta. We had so much food that we were able to take half of it home for a picnic the next day! The total was around $50 before drinks, and we ended up with four meals from it. Not only was it a fantastic value, but the food was also incredibly delicious! The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was charming, and everything is made in-house.

We ordered the falafel platter, which came with hummus, kale, cabbage salad, tahini, toum, zhoug, and fresh bread, as well as the chicken platter, which had the same delightful sides. We also enjoyed some Brussels sprouts that were flash-fried in lemon vinaigrette. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful! These are, without a doubt, the best falafels I’ve ever had! While the prices are a bit high for what you get, we truly enjoyed our delicious meal. I highly recommend this place!

So fresh and good! Smaller space so I'm not sure how good it'd be for groups. We loved it as a date night.

Good falafel and a cute, trendy decor. I like taking out-of-town visitors there and the spot is close to City Park.
