Recently went here for lunch and was thoroughly impressed. The place is so cute and cozy, it reminds me of eating in my Grandmothers' kitchen. You order at the register and they bring your food out to you. The staff was so friendly and help explain the menu to me. After reviewing the menu I decided to get the spicy chicken platter (buttermilk marinated spiced chicken with tzatziki, kale and cabbage salad with fresh bread). After about a 10 minute wait my platter came out and I was so impressed. The portion size was very big, I had enough to take home for dinner. Everything was delicious and so fresh. Even though it's called the spicy chicken platter, it was not spicy which I was glad about. There's so much more on the menu that I want to try so I'll definitely be back. read more

1000 Figs - Falafel Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was a small restaurant. The seating is limited, but the service was excellent. The set up was also convenient and the tables have drawers with utensils and napkins. We ordered and paid at the front, so it was easy to leave after we finished eating. Watermelon gazpacho- super good. Very refreshing, and a balanced savory and sweet We also ordered a falafel platter and added the brussel sprouts and an extra order of falafel. Bread- fresh, fluffy, salted just right Falafel- crispy and fresh, kind of melts Brussel sprouts- yum read more

This place is so cute! And I love this area of town, being it is such a quaint and lush area. I saw online that you can grab a bite here and bring it over to SWIRL next door for a glass of wine. I did not realize they so sell their own wine there, so next time I plan to eat my food and drink my wine all in the same place. Turns out they have a happy hour too! M-F 3 -6 How fantastic! The entry way, is what I would describe as very European. It is a skinny walkway, up the stairs, and then you're in this elevated space with light woods and super welcoming staff. The inside is small, maybe 4 tables. With a large window overlooking the lush area and sidewalk for people watching. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which is a chicken gyro. It was messy as heck, but very tasty. I also ordered the Brussel sprouts. I have had better, more flavorful gyros and brussels, and it was good, just did not blow me away. I think the pita itself was lacking, too thin to hold all that filling, and why it was so messy. But you can't beat the ambience here and friendly staff goes a long way in my book. I do want to come back here for HH and maybe try some more items like the hummus. read more

1000 Figs is the spot for a fresh, delicious meal! I definitely understand all the hype now. I'm a huge fan of the "platter" options because they offer an array of flavors, textures, and colors. Also, you can get your protein, fiber, and carbs. I went with the chicken platter which has seasoned, tender chicken as the star. But the vibrant, sweet-acidic salad and savory tzatziki complimented the chicken super well. And, the bread is warm and fluffy. The seating area isn't too large but is cute and cozy. Highly recommend! read more

1000 Figs - Chicken Platter - Falafel Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Has been on my to-try list and so glad to have finally checked out this spot! Came on a busy weekend night so there was a bit of a wait. It's a cute, cozy/small restaurant with some limited outdoor seating but tables move relatively quickly and pro tip, if you grab a drink next door and find an open table, you're able to still order from 1000 figs! Food is so flavorful and such great value. Got the chicken platter and loved the option to add dips. Perfectly seasoned chicken and loved the accompaniments. Others got the sandwich which was also highly raved about. Will def be back to try other items! read more

1000% yes. Everything was phenomenal! I meaaannn the fries with fresh toum (creamy, whipped garlic dip), chicken sandwich (which honestly deserves a name that elevates it to the status it's earned as it was covered in fresh cucumber and pickled veggies and wrapped in a fresh pita), the hummus, the Brussels sprouts (hands down best I've had), the falafel. They're also extremely sustainable, have the homiest atmosphere, and offer truly premier service (table of four of us received everything in 8 minutes.) Bonus points to the lovely host who literally ran a block to let me know I'd forgotten my bag. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. OH and the salted/sweet most perfect chocolate chip cookie EVER read more

Ordered delivery -- absolutely amazing!! Super fresh, flavorful food. I think the amount of food you get for the price is very generous. Incredible stuff and I'm horrified I haven't ever tried this before. read more

Amazing Mediterranean food quality ingredients great umami type of flavors and the food was ready 7-8 minutes after placing the order. Mediterranean chicken with hummus and salad And Mediterranean chicken sandwich with pickled cabbage. The place has great ambiance and decor. Friendly staff and great variety of vegetarian options. Meat eaters can find a chicken dish. But this wouldn't be a choice for red meat people. Try anything and you'll be happy. I also ordered bread with side of Tzatziki. It was addictive and I wanted more. This is a highly recommended food experience. Parking could be about 2 blocks away on a Friday night. Hopefully you get lucky, they only have street parking and this is in a neighborhood with many other eatery's and shops. read more

1000 Figs is a cute Mediterranean cafe serving the best spiced chicken platter that's healthy, flavorful, and satisfying. We also tried the chicken sandwich, but it was smaller and had less value than the platter. Service was quick and excellent, and the space is bright and thoughtfully decorated. Heads up seating is limited and street parking is residential only. We would recommend visiting during happy hour which is Monday-Friday from 3-5 PM! read more

1000 Figs - Spiced Chicken Platter + Chicken Sandwich - Falafel Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Mediterranean small plates place that was quite fun and delightful. Seating is sparse though, I think about 7 tables or so. We got several plates to share amongst four people. Great option for vegetarians honestly. Falafel - comes with toum and the green sauce, very yummy, well fried Hummus with bread was also really good. Wish we had more bread though. French fries - I was skeptical when my friend recommended this but honestly, nicely salted fries and perfect vessel for dipping into all the various sauces. The vegetable plates were absolutely delicious. The seasonal vegetable they had at the time was broccoli with harissa sauce which was yummy and I wish we had more of, honestly. The kale and cabbage salad was so good and refreshing. I'm normally not the biggest fan of kale but this salad was just so good, definitely recommend a large portion to share with everyone. We also got pickled cauliflowers as well, very fresh. Definitely loved all the sauces and all the vegetables. Felt like everything was very flavorful and refreshing. The move is definitely to share a bunch of dishes with friends so you get a little of every yummy thing. I would say that the 7 plates (including 2 falafel and 1 large kale salad) we got were enough for the 4 of us to feel comfortably satiated. read more

1000 Figs - French Fries, Hummus, Pickled Cauliflower, Falafel and Sauces, Brussels Sprouts, kale salad - Falafel Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Wow!! I've been wanting to try this place for years and it did not disappoint! We got the Harissa Soup, Chicken Platter, Fries, and some of the mixed olives. Soup had a great depth of flavor with just a little kick of heat. Chicken was tender, flavorful, and came with plenty of tzatziki for dipping that beautiful fluffy focaccia. Loved the cabbage salad. Fries were cooked perfectly and the dip that comes with them is unctuous. Service was friendly and nice. They get extra points for giving us some extra bread!! Dining room is a little tiny so you have to be quick to grab a table. Really loved it. We are already talking about when we can go back. read more

It's been forever since we've gone to 1000 Figs and we lucked out and were able to get a table on a Friday night. It was my first time eating inside and it's very beautiful but it was a bit warm after our brisk walk. We got an order of the fries to split. I could eat the toum dipping sauce with a spoon it's so good! I also got the chicken platter and added a side of hummus and whipped feta. The chicken is nicely spiced and I loved the combination of that and the zhoug sauce. The salad wasn't my favorite since it was full of celery. If you're a fan of celery you'll love it! The bread is fresh and delicious. It's a large portion. Next time I go I'm going to try the falafel! read more

Amazing little place! Very fresh, and delicious Mediterranean cuisine. 1000 Figs is a hidden gem! It's on the second floor. I didn't see an elevator, but there is seating outside. You may be able to order ahead and sit outside without having to go up the stairs. We sat inside. We both ordered the falafel platter. The portions are pretty big. Everything was fresh and delicious. The tables have little drawers in them that hold the cutlery and napkins! What a great idea! It was very busy the day we had lunch here. There were no tables open and it got pretty loud. The servers were all very nice and welcoming. The artwork in the restaurant is really cool too! I highly recommend coming here. I'll definitely be back. read more

Four blocks from the JazzFest/racetrack; an authentic Greek and Mediterranean restaurant. Authentic flavors and spices from their dips, falafel, hummus, Babaganoush, salads (kale/cabbage), and other dishes. We started with the multiple dips that contained hummus, baba, and whipped feta, fresh and delicious. Husband got the cabbage and kale salad and grilled chicken platter. said it was seasoned nicely and Well grilled, friends and I got the chicken sandwich which we enjoyed; was tender- buttermilk marinated and flavorful and seasoned well. The Tzatziki and cabbage/kale salad were fresh and delicious! Great service was a little crowded but hey, it was jazz fest. Ambience is casual. Prices are great and walking distance from the racetrack. Excellent service! read more

My wife and I really enjoyed going to 1000 Figs. It was pretty crowded, so I would plan to go right as it opens or plan to get your food to go. Service: There was a bit of service, but mostly you order at the counter and then they bring it out to you. Food: Hummus / Bread - great start to our meal. And I liked dipping the chicken that came out later in the hummus too. Chicken Pita - very flavorful, and if you prefer a sandwhich, the this is good. Only complaint was that the pita kind of fell apart while eating (but no worries as long as you're good using the fork to eat everything that fell out). Chicken Plate - this was our top item, and honestly there was enough food that you could split this. Chicken was very flavorful and there was a lot of it. Also had a salad, and bread. If you want to split a meal, definitely do this! So good! Fries - honestly tasted good and simple (kind of like Five Guys fries). Overall, we really enjoyed the food and took enough leftovers for 1 of us to get 1 extra meal! Misc: Street parking only (but at least it's free street parking). Great for a nicer, casual date. read more

Love love loved 1000 Figs! Can't speak to their physical location but we used them for a large take out order/ small catering order and they delivered to. The food was delicious, well packaged and super generous in portion size! The seasoned rice was perfectly cooked, the dips were all amazing and paired well with the focaccia or pita chips. The star of the show was the kale salad with tahini dressing which is still on my mind months later- the dressing alone soooo delicious! The falafel was unique hitting a different flavor note I couldn't quite place and the meat eaters loved the grilled chick as well. The business owner/manager was easy to work with to place the order and it was the perfect meal for any dietary preference. Fresh but flavorful, cannot go wrong! read more

1000 Figs is a sweet little gem near the Fairgrounds. Though quaint, this is bursting with positive energy and the food is really good. You order and pay at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. I went recently for a work lunch and we ordered quite a few items from the menu but my favorites were the falafel with dips and the harissa soup which was smooth and flavorful. So delish. I wish I'd ordered more of the falafel because it was some of the best I've ever had. Also, I can't forget that bread. I try to avoid bread but every now and then I indulge and it's usually worth it-and this time was very worth it. I will absolutely go back. In fact, I would order from here almost every other day if I lived in the neighborhood. read more

All I can say is wow! 1000 Figs been on my lis t to try for a year. I finally had a chance to go and I was blown away. To start off the area the resturant is in looks amazing, it gives a relaxed elegant look. When the sun is out I bet you will enjoy yourself sitting outside. The inside is small and cozy you can tell a lot of regulars come eat there. Food: Chicken Platter: This is the best bite I've had so far in 2025! The flavor on this dish is out of this world the chicken is so tender and packed with seasonings you can see the color on it. The Kale & Cabbage salad was the biggest surprise to me I really didn't think I would like it but after the first taste it blew my mind. It's so light, sweet, salty, & little sour it pairs so well with everything. The tzatziki is so fresh and well balanced I really enjoyed dipping my chicken and bread in it. This is an healthy option as well you're going to feel great after eating this. You guys have to Check this spot out you want be disappointment! read more

OK, I know a lot of people turn their nose up at Yelp reviews, but I'm on the road a fair amount and when you're trying to get Thai food in Columbus, or Vietnamese in Little Rock, you pretty much need Yelp to help you find it. I say that to let you know that I think that I'm pretty well-versed in judging the quality of a few ethnic foods. And with my mom being Syrian/Lebanese, I grew up eating Middle Eastern food. All that to say is that in my years of touring this is certainly in the top three falafel I've ever had in my life. ( Mamoun's of course in the Village being included) It was absolutely delicious. And the baba was homemade, really great, chunky, smoky, not overly processed in a food processor. It was really, really really good. Plus the service was friendly and helpful, very good as well I live outside of New Orleans, but told my partner " I would totally drive in just to eat here". It's THAT good. read more

Very friendly staff. I love their food. I usually ask for no toum, because it is so garlicky. The restaurant is cozy. They need a changing table in the bathroom. I had to skip changing my baby because they didn't have one, which was less than ideal after spending a lunch here. read more

Wow I'm so happy we tried this place! We got there on a Wednesday around 530 and easily found a table. Had we waited until 6 we would have had to wait because it's small inside and fills up fast. They do have a very small beer and cocktail menu, we settled on Paradise Park which you can't go wrong with. We had some of the most tasty Brussels ever! We also had a side of hummus and kale salad. Salad was so fresh! I loved the vinegar dressing. The bread stole the show, it's got to be house made, if not I need to know where to get some. Since we had all those appetizers we split the chicken entree and it was tender and tasty. Wish I could do 4.5 stars instead of just 4. The only reason I'm counting off a little is because my preference is full service vs order at the counter although they did bring our food to the table. I'll be back for sure! read more

Very cute spot with great Mediterranean food. The spot is in the smaller side with 6 to 9 tables inside side and a few outside. You order at the register, pay and they bring you your food. We have the chicken sandwich which where im from is a more of a shawarma, a d it was very good, a lot of condiments and vegetables. Chicken was a bit on the spicy side but the whole.meal was great. We have some sort of humms which was called whipped feta with chatted scalions, man, that was good!. Overall good place to have a quality meal read more

A five star experience, after giving three stars almost 8 years ago? This is why the review update feature is so crucial (as is giving places a second chance). Literally all of the issues I mentioned last time no longer exist, most important: the extra-extra virgin olive oil. And they now have an olive plate (that features the best olives!) And they also have harissa. 1000 Figs on a Friday is like the best kind of Friday you can have in my opinion. Although technically a working lunch for me, I have aspirations of returning for one of those delicious cocktails to enjoy along with my many plates of Middle Eastern goodness. A late afternoon Friday indulgence is on the agenda for the future. I had: falafel (delectably crispy and surprisingly light, almost fluffy inside, so unlike the belly bombs that are common in many places), hummus (decadent and garlicky), and a "small" (very generous portion) salad of shredded kale and cabbage with a light vinaigrette. Golden raisins add a touch of sweetness to the bitter kale and literally it's a perfect salad. The ripe olives are a perfect accompaniment. And can we talk about that focaccia bread that's graced by some coarse salt? It's heavenly, especially when dipped into hummus (or probably, anything). I end this review with a vow to return on the regular. The staff is so nice and the space is full of natural light. Such great vibes and incredibly nourishing and delicious food. read more

The service is always friendly. I recommend 1000 Figs for small groups, small plate, and yummy, low sodium Mediterranean food. The portions range from small to medium. I wasn't sure if the Brussels sprouts were part of the platter or if they were the actual side we'd ordered because the portion was so small. Despite this, they were famously delicious- not over sauced, still had some bite to them. The fries were the real star of the meal. Hand cut, fried, and salted to perfection. The chicken was perfectly tender, conservatively seasoned. Loved the baba ghanouj and the bread- both tasted super fresh. Very quaint, not great for big groups unless you rent out the whole restaurant. The tables are really close together so the space is an eavesdropper's dream. read more
