They were the perfect size for an appetizer. For my meal, I ordered the Phoenician Pasta. The serving size was large and left enough to take home. The sauce was creamy and the chicken had a great spice to it to give it some great flavor. This is one of those meals I will crave. We never needed anything. The lady serving the table kept me topped up with coca-cola. She brought to go boxes over without asking when we slowed down. Excellent service. The atmosphere was not completely quiet but we could carry on a discussion with no problem. We will be back!

Never thought I would equate Middle Eastern cuisine with Baton Rouge. But it's a cuisine that…read morecomes to mind when I think of this city thanks to this spot along with the stellar reviews that accompany it. This is one of three Albasha locations in the southeast Louisiana area. Thank god this location is near our field office in Baton Rouge which is where I was assigned to in early October allowing me to dine at this spot for lunch. The dining area spacious with plenty of seating. It does get a lot of traffic during the weekday lunch hours; probably cause of the lunch specials that are offered which we took advantage of. The menu consists of your typical Mediterranean eats such as hummus, baba ganouj, stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita (spinach pie), chicken/beef schwarma, lamb shank, moussaka, and kabobs (just to name a few). Lunch specials involve plates which include a feta cheese salad, rice pilaf, and hummus that accompany the entrees. Ranging from $14-18, this is quite the steal, especially during times like these. The Lamb Shank lunch I ordered was delicious with plenty of food that I had to have a to-go box to bring the remainders with me. The chicken shwarma and vegetable platter were ordered by other parties who both loved them. And we also started with the fried cheese which is served in a bed of olive oil and spices with some cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. Very tasty, especially with the vegetable garnishes. I need to get another assignment in Baton Rouge so I can come back here again!

The flavors are all there for your taste buds to savor. The fried cheese was a little small this time around and didn't have all the yummy garlicky oil/butter it's usually sitting in, but was still just as tasty. But the star dish for my wife and I is that combo shawarma plate!! The Grecian sauce and hummus along w the jasmine rice and meats jut make my mouth water for more. Their Lebanese tea is also the best around. We tried the others around town and were only disappointed after the first bite. No more shopping around for Greek/Lebanese food for us. It's always gonna be Sam's for the win.

Cafe Phoenicia is my go to Greek & Lebanese restaurant in Zachary! I've been coming here for years…read more I like that it's somewhat different than other similar types of restaurants, and that their dishes are consistently good. One of the first differences is that most dishes include a choice of salads. We are all familiar with the Feta Salad, and this is a good choice. However, this place has a Fatoush Salad option, that includes a topping of crispy pita croutons. This is my favorite option! Then we move along to the entrees. Surprisingly, they have a good variety of seafood offerings, which is a reasonable component of Greek cuisine. I like all of these! Then there are a variety of pasta dishes, all with a great Greek flavor. One delightful dish is the Stuffed Plate which includes a variety of stuffed vegetables, along with a salad! There are also great classic options like lamb shanks, shawarma, and gyros. The simple gyro sandwich is always a good option, and priced nicely. That's what I like about Cafe Phoenicia, no matter if you want the simple or the adventurous, they have something to satisfy you.

Cafe Phoenicia's menu provides that, with some of the best chicken shawarma and gyros you'll ever put between a piece of pita bread. However, what makes us drive from Baton Rouge are the pasta dishes. Their creme blanche wine sauce is PHENOMINAL! I want all the dishes they serve with that sauce! pair it with any of their perfectly cooked proteins and you got yourself a grand meal. I enjoy any of their seafood dishes featuring that sauce, especially their Seafood Mediterranean. We also enjoy the simple Pasta Phoenicia with Chicken Shawarma. To keep me on my toes they'll have a seasonal menu item or two written on the chalkboard out front - Grilled sea bass or stuffed flounder were the last ones I saw. It's a fun place to try something new, but we can't get past our love of their pasta dishes! Maybe that's the one problem with Cafe Phoenicia, picking your entree!
