This review is for the restaurant at the front of the Healing Center, which is known as "Fatouche"…read more My wife brought me there when we first moved into the area. She swore it was excellent middle eastern food, and she was absolutely right. The food is fresh, fast, and very tasty. The prices are reasonable. The only (minor) drawback is that the service is just a tad sluggish and depending on the complexity of activity in the kitchen (which is half-open to the restaurant), you may have to listen to arguments between the kitchen staff while waiting for your food. Otherwise, everything about this place is great. The space is bright, tastefully decorated, and inviting. There is plenty of seating. It is clean and well-maintained by an attentive staff. I highly recommend Fatouche if you're in the area and feel like good Turkish or Middle Eastern food. The gyro ("yeah-row" here, NOT "jye-roh"), in particular, was especially good.

I want to acknowledge that the New Orleans Healing Center does meaningful work in the community…read more Unfortunately, our family's experience with its internal management was extremely disappointing. My daughter, a white Hispanic woman and single mother, was terminated despite never having been formally written up or, to our knowledge, counseled for the supposed performance problems later used to justify her termination. When she challenged the reasons given and requested a written separation notice, the notice had to be rewritten multiple times because the explanations being provided kept changing. There had been ongoing interpersonal problems involving Devonte Bell that management, including Denise, was aware of. Rather than effectively addressing those problems, our family believes Devonte's personal conflict with problems involving my daughter was allowed to influence the decision to terminate her. We are also deeply concerned that race and gender may have played a role in how she was treated. Devonte is a Black male, while my daughter is a white Hispanic female, and based on the circumstances and the very different treatment she received, our family believes there are legitimate questions about discriminatory treatment that deserve examination. An organization can do wonderful things for its community and still have serious internal management problems. Employees deserve consistency, documentation, accountability, and fair treatment-not changing explanations after they have already been terminated. I sincerely hope the New Orleans Healing Center takes a closer look at its management practices, documentation procedures, employee relations, and accountability. The organization's mission deserves leadership and workplace practices that reflect the same values it promotes publicly.
