I cannot get over how much i love this place. first off- the cucumber lime mint drink????? i'd go…read morehere just for this drink. it's so yummy and refreshing and it's self serve!!! second of all, the saffron basmati rice is killer. i love the light flavor it brings. it mixes perfectly with whatever you mix in it!! the options they have at the end are all wonderful. the sumac slaw, the Fiery Broccoli, the cucumber tomato mix, so good. the servers are helpful when you don't know what something is since the food choices aren't always obvious. the restaurant is very clean and very modern. it's a lil echoing in there but it is what it is. not too many spots to sit, but that's because this place is always busy. LUCKILY, the line moves really fast. if you see a long line when you walk in, just stay! you'll get to order in like 10 minutes and it'll be one of the best meals of your life. it's easy to accidentally make a gross bowl so don't go crazy adding random stuff!! ask people in line what they get

This is the most upscale and newest of the Byblos restaurants. For quite awhile after they opened…read morein Elmwood I was really happy with the food and service here. They were doing a lot of unique things here and the food really was quite a step up from the other Byblos locations to the degree that there was zero resemblance. I really enjoyed everything I ate here and while it was more expensive than the other Byblos locations it was of better quality. Unfortunately something has changed as the quality seems to have dropped, the menu has changed and service has really deteriorated. They have a pizza type oven like Shaya and Saba have and they were putting out a similar type bread to those establishments but on my last visit I just got generic pita bread. The experience used to rate a higher price but now things have really declined and the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. I hope my last visit was just an anomaly but I've heard from multiple people that the standard has dropped and the generic pita is the new usual. This was a four star joint and one of the top Middle Eastern joints in the area but sadly that no longer seems to be the case.

This charming place in an outdoor mall area seems like it is going to be fast casual, but is…read moreactually a charming sit down restaurant. The wait staff was very helpful with suggestions and took time to make sure we had what we needed. We ordered falafel for an appetizer and it has just the right texture. For dinner we split the chicken shawarma with hummus and fries. The waitress had recommended the chicken and she was spot on. It was tender and well seasoned. Portions are large, so we are glad we split it.

Of course I have been back to this place multiple times since my initial review. However, I went in…read moreNovember of 2025 and you can tell something changed. The Alfredo sauce was watery and salty. I sent the food back and left with nothing. I assumed it was a fluke because all prior experiences were amazing. I went back in December 2025 and it was clear then that something definitely changed. The bread pudding was tough, the Alfredo sauce was loose... shortly after this, I learned they closed down.

Recent take out review: The food here is very good -- super flavorful, consistent, and just as…read moretasty as I remembered from dining in a couple years ago. No complaints on quality at all. But the value doesn't match the price. I paid $17 for a very small lasagna, and $27.50 for a fettuccine that came with what looked like barely one chicken breast and maybe half a portion of noodles. For the cost, the portions were surprisingly small. For a $30 plate, i'd expect more food Overall, the food is delicious, but the portions don't justify the price. If they offered more generous servings, it would easily be a top-tier experience! 4.5/5 for the food taste 2.5/5 for the value and portion size 3.5/5 for the vibe / ambiance 4/5 staff

This is a newer eatery located in a small strip mall on Airline. As expected, it's a casual,…read morequick-bites type of place. It's clean, reasonably priced, and located conveniently too! I tried the hibachi grilled shrimp, fried rice, snow crab salad, and a drink ($17 for the whole thing). It was good, zero complaints! It was 16 pieces of grilled shrimp on a bed of salad. The fried rice was well seasoned. The snow crab salad on the side in a little cup was pretty good too (yes, it's imitation crab, they can't serve real crab for that price lol) One thing to note, it's very casual here, so it is mostly self-serve. They will bring the food out to you, but you will have to get your own drink and bus your own table afterwards

We decided to try this place because the menu looked nice with many choices. The restaurant was…read morevery clean and has about 10- 4 seat tables. You order from a Kiosk at the counter which I am not a fan of and it wasn't easy to navigate. Between all of us, we tried some sushi rolls, Hibachi fried rice with Hibachi chicken and shrimp. The chicken, shrimp and steak were all cooked good but the rice had no flavor. One of us had a fried noodle and steak bowl. The grandkids had the sushi dual combo which is really a good price and they loved it. The snow crab salad was good but a bit mushy. I think this would be a go to spot for anyone nearby who loves sushi. Very reasonably priced.

We looked online and saw Theos had a…read moregood lunch special so we decided to check it out. the lunch special was a one-topping pizza plus a drink or any sandwich plus a drink for 10.99. we got a mushroom pizza, a sundried tomato pizza and a pesto veggie sandwich. we also got cheese bread to start off with as well as a cookie. the cookie was really good and tasted really fresh. the cheese bread was ok and we would skip that the next time. both pizzas were good, a decent size and good flavor; the crust was on the thinner side so that was the only negative. good lunch special with good portion size and good flavor. ambiance and customer service were also good

One of Our All-Time Favorites!…read more Boulevard is one of my husband and my all-time favorite restaurants, and they consistently deliver every time we visit. We frequent both the Elmwood and Metairie locations, but the Elmwood location is our go-to since it's closest to home. On this visit, I started with the Boulevard Oysters--crispy fried oysters served over creamy spinach with an aioli sauce. They were delicious! I also had the chicken tortilla soup, and I absolutely freaking LOVE this soup! It's one of my favorites on the menu. For my entrée, I had the blackened fish with coleslaw, and of course, I had my usual lemon drop martini. That lemon drop is the BOMB! I order it every time, and it never disappoints. What I love most about Boulevard is the consistency. The food comes out quickly, the cocktails are always good, and the staff is always attentive--even when sitting at the bar, which is one of my favorite places to sit here. The restaurant is always clean, the bathrooms are clean, and you're greeted when you walk through the door. We've been here many times, and Boulevard hardly ever disappoints. Five stars, without a doubt! There's something for everyone on the menu, and honestly, you really can't go wrong with whatever you order. Boulevard will continue to be one of our go-to restaurants!

I went after 8 so it was nice and quiet in the restaurant. The Potato gallettes are crispy on the outside and are good with breakfast or lunch. The almond pastry was nice and soft. The almonds add nice texture. I was only supposed to eat half but I ate the whole thing. The chocolate croissants were just not for me. I love chocolate and I love croissants but together, it wasn't my thing. No stars off for that because it's a matter of preference. The ham and cheese Danish had crispy parmesan on the outside. I was really good and could be for breakfast and lunch. I visit here often. The Potato soup is delicious. I love the pesto chicken pasta, and I would tell you guys about this amazing cookie that they have BUT, they already sell out too quickly. I don't need any more competition.

My sister moved to Louisiana two years ago and has always said it's been hard to find truly great food, so we were excited to give this place a try--and it exceeded every expectation. The woman who took our order was one of the sweetest people we've met. She was so welcoming, patient, and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. The tostones were perfection--served hot and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast arepa was outstanding and paired perfectly with the fresh cilantro dipping sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and inviting, creating such a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Great food, amazing service, and a clean environment are the perfect combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable breakfast. It was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

I'm usually not a fan of trying people's arepa because either the masa is dry or altogether they aren't savory enough for my liking.

I also tried these mangoneada which was good just personally I like more chile so I would just ask for some more hot sauce.
