I'm not sure who i spoke to if it was the owner or not but i was picking up an order and he was extremely rude. Definitely won't ever come back!! read more

Hands down favorite Greek restaurant in all of Louisiana (and perhaps the world, yeah I'm looking at you too Greece) The owner (Mr. Kamal?) is the friendliest most down to earth guy you'll meet. Then, the food, oh my gosh the food. I didn't even like hummus until I had Kamals hummus. I didn't even like tea until I had their Lebanese Tea!!! Everything from their gyro to their chicken , to their fried cheese to their spinach pies and the flowing drinks. This is a must visit place, rather you want a nice sit down or had a rough day at work and don't feel like cooking? Hop through their drive through to pick up your order! (Don't let the word "drive-thru" fool you, this is not fast food, this is very good quality food that has a convenient window for people placing To-Go orders) I wish I took photos of all the food, but I tend to put my phone away when I'm here and truly enjoy my time and the company. read more

Kamal's Kafe - a bowl of soup with bread - Greek Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

Very good food, top notch service. I keep having the same dish because it is so consistently good. The Lebanese iced tea is great

My go to meal is the combo plate. It is always prepared fresh and I've never had to wait too long for my drive thru orders. My only cons are the salad is pretty bland & I once ordered the beef kabob plate well done, & it was definitely not well done. read more

Every time we come to visit family it's a requirement to get Kamal's! It's always delicious and accurate! We've dined in on occasion & the friendly owner visited our table and welcomed us! **Definitely try it!** read more

The tahini sauce is good and the falafels were fluffy on the inside and crunch on the inside and great flavor, the shawarma was moist juicy and had great spice to it, the humus was smooth and creamy and delicious also loved the salad they are generous with the feta here. Friendly service & forest food. I'll be back many times. The FOOD WAS SERVED HOT Great service read more

I have been here several time and very glad to write about their food. It's true what they say, "You get what you pay for" so here you really get good tasting food and generous portion of their chicken schwarma salad and especially if you buy one pound of the chicken and the fattouch salad dressing - always fresh and very very filling!!!! I've been meaning to write about them for awhile bc it's locally owned and their food is yummy yummy delicious! They have their patio open and the owner is always there - so polite! read more

We aren't very impressed with the Kamal's. We usually go to Sams. We spent $12 on a fried cheese dish which came with one sliced piece of cucumber and one half slice of tomato and quite honestly the smallest order of fried cheese I've seen. read more

Kamal's Kafe - Fried cheese dish. - Greek Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

Food was nothing special. Pricey for a light lunch. Not busy at all. Very nostalgic read more

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was terrible. The servers literally ran around like chickens with their heads cut off (one of them actually used those words). The servers and the chef (Kamal) were shouting orders and instructions back and forth as though the diners couldn't hear. It was not a relaxed, dining experience. The portions were small. I understand that food is expensive. It's just a big change from the way it used to be there when Kamal used to walk around and check on the diners. read more

The food is great and Kamal is a great guy. He charismatic full of energy and part of the community.

Fantastic, Kamal the owner is charming, talkative and has had a fascinating life. Service quick and perfect. Recommend fried cheese and spicy Mediterranean chicken. Chicken shawarma and gyros are top shelf as well. On top of it all, huge purchases and very fair pricing read more

This is my favorite place to get Mediterranean cuisine. What I like about Kamal's is the chicken is flavorful!!!!And they also have vegetables in their rice. Most Mediterranean restaurants life is just so plain. I love the Lebanese lemonade (includes rose water). I always get the chicken shawarma plate. Today I tied a different dish. Mediterranean chicken. Some of the staff is consistent. The server has been here for quite some years. read more

Kamal's Kafe - Mediterranean chicken & Lebanese limonene. - Greek Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

Good food and healthy. Well maintained area and drive through. Kamal is a little big headed, but his food makes up for it.

This was my daughter and I first time coming to Kamal's and I can definitely give 5 plus stars for their friendliness and cleanliness. The waitress was kind and for us being first time customers she made gave us a cup of tea with rose water. Whenever y'all are in Gonzales stop by you won't be disappointed!! read more

Kamal's Kafe - Spicy Mediterranean Chicken with hummus, pita bread and yellow rice! - Greek Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

Kamal's Kafe is a great hidden gem! My husband and I just moved to the area from Houston, and we were hoping to find a restaurant that wasn't fast food or seafood. Kamal's was cozy; the waitstaff were warm and welcoming, and they were very much on top of things. The food is delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the hummus, the veggies, and the EGGPLANT SPECIAL especially! I've never enjoyed anything quite like the eggplant special--it has a Cajun flair with little shrimp on top. It is a must-try. We also spoke to the owner, who was very funny and friendly. We enjoyed being able to see the chefs working diligently in the back as well. We are so glad to have this food option in our new town. We will be back soon! read more

Kamal's Kafe - Eggplant special - Greek Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

Excellent!! I love Mediterranean food, and I think I found a new go-to spot. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious. I ordered the kafta platter and was pleasantly surprised! The kafta was very flavorful (though a little dry), hummus was tasty, the rice was good, but what blew me away were the vegetables. The platter came with grilled squash, bell pepper, and onions with some seasoning - I could have eaten a whole plate! Highly recommend! read more

The staff is fine but ironically it is the owner who behaves in an unprofessional manner. Probably why at high noon or busy times they have few customers if any. Better hope the food will be good. read more

This place is by far best Mediterranean food I've ever had. I drive an HOUR just to come eat here. My Boyfriend loves it too. The owner is very kind and Friendly. read more

Amazing food and ambience! Quant romantic spot for a date or brilliant quiet location for a business lunch. I love everything on the menu!!!

I ate here 2 nights in a row for business dinners. First night was very quiet and the food was amazing. My colleague got the lamb shank and the shank was as big as his head falling off the bone. I got the shawarma pasta and was not disappointed. Kamal was very friendly, polite, and entertaining. The second night we had a larger party for same reasons and were not disappointed either. I got the Meat Stuffed plate (cabbage rolls, grape leaves, etc.) and it was great. At the end of our meal, Kamal came by to ask how everything was and ended up chatting with us for nearly an hour. Good place to eat Lebanese and enjoy an intimate but fun atmosphere. I definitely recommend it. read more

Kamal is a very nice man and always has been and he appreciates his patrons as well. His wait staff are friendly and attentive. Love his chicken schwarma delight! Love greek food. So good. read more

Fried cheese is delicious! I love the salad...feta cheese is so yum! Chicken plate is the best! Their staff is so helpful & sweet! Kamal makes you feel so welcomed! read more

I've eaten here a couple of times before getting on Yelp and this was my 3d time here, I do love this place and I definitely enjoyed this trip as well as my first 2 times. I have always gotten the Gyro Plate with Greek Salad. OUTSTANDING!!! However, they have an extensive menu and I really need to branch out on my next trip!!! The hummus and pita bread before the meal is tasty and the fried cheese appetizer is the BOMB!!! The portions are just right and if you leave hungry then it's your fault. The atmosphere is low key, the lighting while not dim is low. It would really be a great place to take a date. So if you're looking for something one date night keep this place in mind. The waitress we had tonight was great and mixed a stiff drink. TASTY!!! They only have one foreign beer, some type of Lebenese beer and it's on the "to try" list next time I'm in. Also, there is a rather cool looking cigar bar in the same location that I'll have to check out as well. Give it a try, you'll like it! read more

Hello my name is Christmas Paul and I am a finch man who has lived for what some would say is an impossible amount of time. As my esteemed gentlemens club comrades can confirm, nothing pleases me more after crushing a case of shiner bock to myself than a plate stuffed to the brim with Kamal's. Sometimes if I am feeling lonely I'll bring a mirror and set it in the seat across from me and tell myself one of my favorite stories over a steaming plate of lamb. Nobody at Kamal's has ever called the police or asked me to leave. My Navajo friend swears this is the best Greek food in the southeast and I am starting to believe him! read more

First I got the moussaka and a Tabbouleh salad, the salad was 6.50 it was fresh but a tiny amount... when you order a salad you are ordering it in place of a meal... this was a side salad for that price.... the meat moussaka was bland and for 14.00 very small portion...the portion I get from Alabama was 3 dollars cheaper and twice as much with mich better flavor.... I went here for the salad ,my wife's favorite and we are extremely disappointed... will not be returning.... read more

I Love, love, love greek food. Decided to try Kamals out because I had heard good things. I'm sorry to say, I will not be returning. My husband and I had Fried cheese for the appetizer, it tasted like the garlic may have been forgotten? Meat moussaka also very bland and not very flavorful at all. Should also add that you definitely shouldn't order this if you hungry, the portion size is not what I expected. My husband ordered the ultimate pasta, Idk where to begin honesty. The chicken was good. It to was bland, the mushrooms where out of a can. Guess I'm spoiled to having Fresh mushrooms in my white sauce but for the price? I believe they should be. Service was okay, we had to get our own silverware off of another table... Will stick to what what we know. If you Love Greek food as much as I do, you go try out this little place in Dutchtown. I believe the name olive tree cafe? Same shopping center as Las Palms. I have yet to get something I didn't not like there. You may not like it or you could just find your new favorite Greek restaurant. Just my 2 cents. read more

First time trying today. The food was very good, but pricey. I decided to try the fried cheese because of the reviews and it was amazing - again, very pricey at $9, I think they should charge half that or allow a person to place a half order. So, I had the chicken shawarma plate, fried cheese, and a coke and it was $22.72 - pricey lunch for 1 person. For that reason, 4 stars. Service was friendly and fast and the owner was participating in seating customers. read more

Food didn't taste terrible but I was not impressed!! After reading all the reviews, we were so excited to try this place out! We got the gyro plate and the mediterranean chicken plate. Did not like the salad at all, gyro plate was ok but there was no sauce at all!! Odd!!! Mediterranean chicken came with onions and peppers but too greasy and chicken is a bit tough for me! Overall, we did not enjoy it and it costed $30 which I didn't think it was worth it. One confusing thing was- I asked if I can substitute the hummus with salad and they said no but they will add salad to the side..when I got home (it was a take out order) there was a salad but no hummus.. read more

Really good food for 10 years plus I believe my family has been coming here. The owner always greets you.

I ordered a combination plate which is $15 and my salad literally just had just oil(no flavor) and barely any cheese on it. Not sure how that mistake is made, but okay. I would have said something but I went through drive thru. I also ordered musaka. I know places sometimes make it different. It wasn't horrible, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. This is probably petty, but I'm going to be honest, it ticked me off. I asked for the Grecian sauce that most Greek restaurants provide with the combination plate and most provide with the musaka and I didn't realize till I got my card back that this place charged me $1.75. I have no problem paying the value for something, but that's not it. It was a little bitty container. I was spending $22 for the plate and side, you charge $1.75 for Grecian sauce, it's ridiculous. I personally feel that that's nickel and diming people for average Greek. The incomplete salad and that type of greed is enough for me to not go back. read more

Went for a business lunch and was very impressed! Owner Mr Kamal greeted us and sat us at our table. While observing him with Patrons it seems like he has a great relationship with them. Food was tasty and of course an enormous amount! I needed a to go box. Restaurant was clean and tidy and prices were just right! Definitely will have to go back! read more

Kamal's is my favorite place to get authentic Greek and Lebanese food, with the friendliest ownership. I love that Kamal is so hands-on in his business - he always takes the time to chat with his patrons and make sure they're enjoying their food, and will often remember details about us and our family to ask after us at every visit. The food is always fresh and hot, and we've never had less than great service despite frequenting this establishment many times! read more

First time here in sevenish years. Absolutely nothing has changed. Same exact setting and same great food! I got the Meat Stuffed Plate and it's as good as it was the first time I had it. If the Lord's willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be back weekly. read more

We eat here often. I got the med chicken. Wife got the soup and salad combo.Med chicken has a tiny kick delicious always prepared wonderfully. The meza tower appetizer could feed a small army. read more

Kamal's Kafe - Mediterranean Chicken - Greek Near Me - Gonzales, Louisiana

Had a great dining experience that started from the moment we entered the restaurant. Our server, Ryan, was an excellent host and immediately offered suggestions after we mentioned it was our first time eating Lebanese cuisine. As per Ryan's suggestion, we ordered Kamal's Kafe Meza, a huge collection of dishes that included a savory Grecian dip and chicken and Gyro. I didn't like all the dishes, but I was pleased with the chance to taste dishes new to me. We brought home two containers full of food! For dessert we had a decadent slice of tiramisu. The food and the service were outstanding. read more

The chicken shawarma is so spicy I LITERALLY could not eat it. I love Greek food and I love spicy things but this was just too much. Not to mention I'm not use to my mouth burning from chicken shawarma.... we had a take out order and called back concerned bc like I said chicken shawarma shouldn't be spicy and they claimed it was because we had the "first cut" regardless I didn't touch my chicken. everything else was okay the hummus didn't taste very fresh made. all in all I don't think the meal was worth $40. Next time I'll just stick to what I KNOW and pay a couple of extra dollars for fresh food that isn't over seasoned. read more

I'm shocked at the number of positive reviews. I eat Lebanese at least once a week and I've eaten here several times in the past and swore it off after my last visit wasn't even edible. I ordered the fried cheese as an appetizer and it arrived to the table with burnt slices of cheese sitting in black grease. I was dumbfounded that the waiter even placed it on the table. Then he acted shocked when I asked to return it, which is something I rarely ever do. Well at the insistence of friends, I visited once again for lunch and once again the food was terrible. The chicken shawarma was black all around the edges and was extremely dry to the point that I couldn't eat it. The salad was mediocre at best with wilted brown spotted lettuce and I find their dressing to be on the pungent side. I tasted my lunch the rest of the day, Yuck. This is not a very good representation of what Lebanese food should taste like and definitely not the best this area has to offer...thank goodness. read more
