I Ordered the Chicken Shawarma Pita. Definitely not the same flavors I remember. This time around just no flavor whatsoever, just bland. Thank God for the hot sauce packet that came with my order. Portion size is nothing to write home about. Smaller than what it use to be. $6.99 read more

Akasha Market - Chicken Shawarma Pita - Grocery Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I have such fond memories of visiting this place, especially when my daughter lived just across the street. My go-to has always been the Gyro chicken sandwiches; they really hold a special place in my heart. We would sometimes mix it up with the Gyro roll, enjoying the combination of flavors. I remember the old man who used to work there, tending to the lamb on the rotisserie--it was such a delicious sight. It brought me so much joy! While tastes may change over time, and not everyone might appreciate the same things I do, I still cherish the experience of getting my sandwiches there. They're truly good sandwiches, and I love going back. read more

After hearing good things about the food at Akasha Market, we stopped in to get fried seafood platters for three. All I can say is, Yummy. The seafood is fresh, perfectly seasoned, lightly battered, and fried golden. The fries that come with it are some of the best in town. I want to try one of their hamburgers next. Highly recommend!! read more

Food always made to order and great service.. been coming for years and will continue to

Food is great, service , Ambulance ain't got nun to do with me. But overall just live

Half a decade ago, before the food truck rage, before specialty burger spots began popping up around Baton Rouge, the LSU region's option for a greasy burger fix came down to two places: one at Northgate and one at Southgate. For years Roul's has garnered the love of the Tigers for it's Juicy Juicy. For those of us who live on the Southside, there is only Akasha. It has been an institution for nearly a decade. Need kegs, hookah, cheap wine, and a one pound burger. Akasha has got you. I haven't stepped inside a Tigerland bar in years, but if LSU has an initiation beyond Saturday Night in Death Valley, it is soaking up blue test tube shots and beer with the nice booze mop that is an Akasha cheeseburger combo. And they have a mystery garlicy, pepper secret sauce. Their hours run late, until 4am on the weekends. Their selection of alcohol can please any crowd and their grill is always open. As are the perpetually rotating spits of gyro and chicken shawarma. Treat yo self read more

Best burger in Baton Rouge and while my gyro knowledge may not have great breadth; it's gotta be up there. Whether it's after a long night of work, a long night of drinking, or me not wanting to make lunch, this place has been a Tigerland staple for me since Freshman year. read more

Ahhh finally the time has come. I have lived in Baton Rouge for 3 years and never step foot in this hidden, sorta rough on the edges GEM. Man this place has absolutely everything you need from fake gucci belts, bongs, fried chicken, and probably about 250 different varieties of drinks. I was surprised to see Big Shots from NOLA and welches grape juice as a regular thing on the shelves. I ordered the chicken strips and fries. The chicken was made fresh to order and Kenny the cashier was hilarious. Definitely will be back time and time again. read more

Authentic! Plenty of food! I order the gyro wrap or plate! Never lets me down and great prices! My fave to use with my meal is the cucumber sauce! read more

It's been well over a decade since I've been here, and I'm not 100% sure it's still the same owners, but man the food is STILL great. We were driving home from a weekend in Cajun Country and decide to give them a chance again. Food was cooked to order and was as good as I remember when I was at LSU, I hope that years from now people will still go on about the great burgers and gyros you can get when you wake up with a headache after one too many the night before. read more

I ordered here a month ago. I was very disappointed because I am a regular customer. Ordered the chicken shawarma salad. I've been a loyal customer for 3 years and my salad was awful for the first time. No only did it have the wrong onions (yellow) very strong taste and it also had pickles in it. I had a mixture of black and red olives. Some had pits and some did not so I had to be very careful. I'm never going back for food. I'll stick to buying booze here only. read more

Crazy cheap and rediculously tasty. $10 after tax for large gyro, a serving of fries, and a drink is by far the best detail in town. I order pickup from her regularly. read more

The best burger I've ever had! The hamburger is seasoned to perfection! Owners and workers are also super friendly and pleasant!

Are the burgers really that good? I have no idea. I used to stumble in after a night at JL's and order food. The first time I went I ordered a small burger. The guy behind the counter told me to order a large. I didn't think I needed one so I just went with the small. I was telling him I had never been and he had a grin on his face like "oh shit, I'm about to blow this kids mind". I was sitting outside alone throwing down this incredible burger when he walked out with another one and said "here you go, I knew you'd like it and you want another one huh?" He gave it to me on the house and told me to come back soon. read more

The burgers here are well seasoned, juicy, big, and reasonably priced. Delicious!! Also, there's a hookah lounge. It's open 6pm-close. read more

Akasha Market - Part of the lounge. - Grocery Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Very above average burgers and gyros. Come here a lot during the school year. Kind of a strange place around 1:00am.

Akasha has the best burgers. Under new ownership since I first moved to BR and was rather pleased to see that the food has not changed

Burgers are dang good! Recently changed owners and are in the process of remodeling but the recipe seems the same. Akasha cheese burger with a side of fries yummmm! I usually crave this around midnight but their kitchen is open late :) read more

This place is amazing, hands down best food in town, your not gonna find a better vibe in this city then this place, literally a diamond in the rough, highly suggest eating here, everything taste great read more

Akasha Market is the best burger near LSU and BR. Doddie is the sweetest woman in the entire world and makes the best burger in Baton Rouge. I have lived in BR 18 years and no one else stands and chance against her. AKASHA MARKET ROCKS! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Baton Rouge hands down. If you like little hole in the wall places, you have to stop here. The Gyro Shwarma platter or the Chicken Shwarma platter is always on point and the burgers are equally as good. Fairly priced, filling, and it's in a convenience store so you can get literally whatever else you need. Really though. Grinders, pipes, knock off sex pills, hard liquor, condoms, AND dank food. This place has what you're looking for, buy food from here. read more

Best burger I ever had for sure ,akasha market number one for sure the service amazing love it ..

Great late night burgers and gyros! The store is alittle sketchy at night and full of drunk college kids after 2:00 am on weekends. i'm always impressed with the food though... that might be because its what i eat when i'm starving after midnight. read more

Hands down the best burgers in Baton Rouge. They are huge, juicy, and spicy. I salivate just thinking about them. They also have the best gyros. The fries are also amazing. As others have said, it is in a convenience store, but it is not at all "sketchy." I have gone there for 7 years running. The employees are always nice and competent and I have never felt unsafe. read more

Ok so it's in a convenient store, but it's absolutely the best burger i have ever had! Growing up in a cajun family with a mom who seasons everything, it's hard to find burgers with a lot of flavor, but these are amazing!! They also have Gyros, which i've heard are also great, but haven't tried them because I can't resist the burgers when i'm there. read more

VERY Disappointed! Decided to order from Akasha because of the good reviews I read on several sites and my Partner isn't a fan of Greek/Lebanese food so I thought GREAT! Best of both worlds! NOT! The burger was ok.... had much better, not the best in town and not a reason to order again... The worst was the gyro platter which was gyro meat, humus, rice and greek salad.... I'm happy to say I ordered extra Feta dressing because that was the ONLY thing that had ANY flavor! EVERYTHING was bland... like they ran out of garlic and spices but still prepared food. The rice, zero flavor, the humus... It reminded me of the nacho cheese out of a can that gets watered down to go further! The thinest, blandest humus I ever tasted! The grecian sauce, was like a yogurt ranch salsa flavored nothingness.... Then it dawned on me, this place caters to late night, often intoxicated people.... everything tastes good when you've been drinking for 6 hours! I'll stick to Atocha for my greek/lebanese and one of the other dozen plus places in Baton Rouge that make a great burger! Don't say you weren't warned!!! read more
