Reviews for Mona's Cafe in New Orleans, LA
What a wonderful place! This is like family. I have ordered delivery several times, finally stopped in. Employees are so... friendly. All safety precautions are taken. Everything is so clean. The food is so very good. Read more
1st time going and it was a great experience. Food was hot and fresh. I ordered the veggies (carrots were hard) with rice and... paid the extra $3.50 for 4 shrimp (i was expecting 6 since most appetizers are the same price). The Lebanese tea was good butthey are stingy on the pine nuts but i didn't ask for extra either. The spinach pie was good, the sauce took a little gettingused to. Friend had the lentil soup, fries and falafel sandwich. The outside dining area was a great experience, covered andwell lit. Our server, Abraham, was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. There is also a market attached but i didn't visitdue to closing times. Will definitely return to try something different, however, i highly recommend the veggie and rice plate.*Maybe add a little more veggies since the main dish is vegetables. Read more
Nice middle eastern food with vegetarian options. We ordered the falafel plate and vegetarian plate for two people. It was very... filling. Also got the cucumber yogurt salad, was very refreshing for the heat. Read more
I was able to pick my seat and found a booth with a beautiful painting of a woman. I asked for recommendations and was quite... impressed with the Lebanese Tea (sweet tea with rose water and pine nuts), the chicken shawarma ???? (the waiter thoughtfullybrought me a side of hot sauce when I mentioned that I like spicy foods, the shawarma was perfectly tender and oozing withsauces), and the baklava (was delightfully crispy and sweet but not overly sweet like most of the ones I've had). Definitelywill stop by again for a full meal! Read more
The food here was absolutely delicious. The hummus and baba ghannouj were excellent and the cheese pie I had was great. The... negatives were the slow service, we had to wait a long time for drinks and we ordered the appetizer Mona?s special, which has avariety of items. We only received part of the order even after our entrees came out and we finished everything. Seems they werejust short staffed and overwhelmed with lunch rush. In any case, the food was so good, stop in a try it! Read more
Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it. The eggplant hummus was a tomato base. My shrimp pita wrap had no taste. I wanted to like it... all, but it just didn't do it for me. The server was nice. Read more
The food here is always incredibly delicious. One of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in town. I love the shawarma, grape... leaves, and falafel. Their portions are very generous. Service is friendly, but can be slow at times. The grocery store nextdoor is a nice visit as well. Try the baklava from the grocery store. Read more
We had a Chicken Kabob with Salad/Humus plate.... and a Lula Kebob plate with grilled vegetables/ Hummus. Both were very... delicious! Definitely fresh, well seasoned and more than enough. Warm pita bread was served also!!!! Definitely an excellentmeal. Within the restaurant building, accessed by a different entry is a wonderful world deli, with Middle East and Italiandelicacies available for sale! Read more
