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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cute little place in the neighborhood where we are staying (near the Jazz Fest "Fairgrounds". The warm focaccia with hummus and babaganoush was fantastic. The chicken sandwiches were yummy although a bit hard to eat as they dripped sauce through the bread and fell apart near the end. Chocolate chip cookie was large and yummy! Wine and cold tea were also enjoyed. Service was friendly and quick. 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

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

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

We came here right when they opened YEARS ago and kind of forgot to come back and I'm not sure why! THIS PLACE IS DEEEEEEELICIOUS! omg the falafel platter and the bread! The lentil soup! The tzatziki sauce! Everything we ate was absolutely devine. Haha I was sad when I got full. I want to come back everyday. The restaurant is small and quaint but very cute. I love the painted trim and plants everywhere. 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

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

The food here is to die for. I loved the hummus and the bread they serve with it. I also had the falafels which were delicious. The service was great. They were very quick and extremely kind. It's a bit small on the inside with about 6-8 tables inside and a couple more outside. You order at the counter then take a seat if it is available. 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

OMG this food is amazing. I got the chicken platter and everything on it was bursting with flavor. The bread on the side was very fresh also. I really enjoyed the food.

I love 1000 Figs! I've always had their food to go, but this was my first time dining in the actual restaurant. In addition to food being incredibly delicious, I was so impressed by their service and professionalism! Within a few minutes of placing my order, the food was ready. I had the chicken platter and their dips are always great. Even after placing the order and paying, they offered additional bread on top too. Presentation was great and they staff was so polite and kind. Hope to bring friends that are visiting to eat here one day! read more

LOVED the food here!! Got the chicken platter, falafel sandwich and a side of the sweet potatoes. Get the potatoes! The lemon on them is ‍ and they lay in a bed of zucchini pesto-ish sauce. The tzatziki was a highlight in the chicken platter. Great happy hour prices and quick service. Would definitely recommend! 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

Excellent food, but a very tiny location. I had been meaning to eat here for a long time, but it's often hard to get seated here, and they are not open on Sundays. My friend and finally made it here on a Saturday for lunch. We waited it out with our names on the list. Once they can seat you, then they take your order at the counter, and you pay there as well. It did not take very long for our food to be delivered to our table. It's kind of fun because the silverware is in a little pull out drawer under the table. Water is served from a carafe they leave with you. We were finally seated inside (I would prefer outside in the future). It's super tiny inside and the tables by the window are crammed together. The woman next to me kept coughing on me throughout the whole meal. It was aggravating. My friend and I split the Falafel plate, along with a side of fries and brussels sprouts. They gave us pita bread instead of their homemade bread because there oven was broken. That was a bummer. The pita was not warmed and was bleh. The salad that comes with the platter and the fries were both my favorite. So good! Service was friendly. read more

Came here in a party of two grown men and ordered the Falafel Feast with the chicken add-on. Way too much food for one sitting, so kinda wish the counter person was more straightforward about my portion size questions (since the chicken was definitely not needed). But regardless, it was extremely tasty and seemed (mostly) healthy. Falafel: Crispy on the outside and a grainy on the inside. Pairs very well with the tangy zhoug. Though works with all the dips to be honest. Spiced Chicken: Wasn't sure how big the Falafel Feast was, so ordered this addition. It was definitely unnecessary, since there was so much food. But it was tender nicely seasoned chicken thigh. Hummus: Smooth and standard. Very nice with the bread. Baba Ghanouj: Had a great smoky taste. Maybe my favorite dip on the platter. Tzatziki: Creamy and refreshing. Though not as rich as other tzatzikis I've had. Pickled Veggies: These were perfect for cleansing the palate between rich bites. Strong vinegar and spice (caraway?) taste. Kale and Cabbage Salad: If you're into raw veggie salads, you'd probably like this. But everything else in the feast tasted so much better, I barely touched this. Roasted Carrots & Parsnips: A real surprise, these were awesome. The thinner pieces were the best since they were firm and a little crispy. But all the pieces tasted amazing with all the spices and sauces. Bread: Definitely not a pita. Reminded me a bit of plain salted focaccia. Did a great job soaking up the dips. Zhoug: This herbal green sauce was the best. Added a nice spicy kick to the falafel. And good with the chicken too. Tahini: Barely used this, since the zhoug got all my attention. Toum: Just a tiny dollop. Though had a nice creamy taste. read more

By noon there was a steady steam of people ordering take out and tables changing over for the next group ready to enjoy the amazing platter of flavors. Our group ordered the falafel and chicken sandwiches and I shared a chicken platter with my husband with a 'platter' side of hummus, which is a smaller version than an actual side. Everything was amazing and we can't wait to return. read more
