Love this place!! Mostly for all their delicious, Dubai chocolate creations!! The prices for these aren't cheap, but I don't imagine the ingredients are either. Fantastic choice for a sweet treat when you can splurge. I've never sat down and dined here, so I can't exactly say how the service is. I've only gone in or used the drive thru to order. Best to go in to see the Dubai chocolate, etc. sweets choices!! I also tried a chicken schwarma wrap with fries, and this was delish with a decent price too. read more

hidden gem with great service and food!!! they have the viral fruit pastries- amazing. nice for vegetarians read more

Starbox Falafel - stuffed falafel, fried cheese, fattoush salad, musabaha appetizer - Salad Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

See all

There are a LOT of good Mediterranean restaurants around the Baton Rouge area, and this is certainly one of them. The pita is soft and fluffy- very good. The falafel is moist and lightly spiced (every other place I've had it is good, but quite dry). And the fatoush salad is okay - I was a little surprised to find pickles and pickled carrots in the salad, but it was still good. My first impression was not great. It's built in an old drive-thru place and there is no convenient parking for dining in (park in the back, and walk around the front, through the drive through lanes). And for me, this is not car food. Maybe if you're getting it to take home? But we came for the food, right? People rave about how great it is, so I finally decided to try it out. And I think the food is good, but I wouldn't pass up another place just to get here. And I certainly wouldn't fight traffic to come here from the place across the street. If you're in the mood for Mediterranean, and it's on your way, give it a try. read more

Oh it's open! Well you know my car scooted right along Sherwood to try it. First, I'll start with the service. I came during a pretty solid lunch rush inside and the ticket system looked like it was stressing them out but they still got out food promptly. The young man taking orders was kind and didn't let the rush sweat him. Kudos to him! On to the food. I got my usual chicken plate. The chicken was fresh but it needs more seasoning. The rice was ok and the salad was great. The Grecian sauce was near the taste of bland. Only a slight taste to it. But! This won't stop me from going back. It will be amazing with small improvements and plus they have other things I have to try. Only reason I didn't give feedback on the chicken and Grecian is because they were busy but I will do so next time. Go try it out! read more

What a great place to get pastries in Baton Rouge! We got the Dubai chocolate crêpe, and one of the fruit shaped chocolates! I'll give the crêpe a five out of five and the grape chocolate, I 3 1/2 out of five, what a great deal for the crêpe in terms of price, one of the most beautiful, tasty, large portion, Dubai chocolate crêpes, that I've had! The fruit shaped chocolate taste like any other fruit shaped chocolate that I've had in the past. Very friendly service, highly recommend and I would come back. read more

The Greek food here is already amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying -- but the real surprise for me was the dessert selection. It's next level. The Strawberry Dubai Cup is incredible -- creamy, sweet, a little tart, and perfectly balanced. The crepes are light, warm, and made fresh. The chocolate Dubai bars are rich and indulgent without being overwhelming. And the knafeh (Lebanese cheese dessert) is unreal -- warm stretchy cheese with sweet syrup and a crispy exterior. It's one of those desserts you think about after you leave. This place completely sneaks up on you. It feels casual at first, but the quality is definitely elite. I'll absolutely be coming back just for dessert runs alone. read more

I enjoyed my Friday lunch visit. They have a drive thru but I opted to dine in. Inside is nice, clean, with nice furniture. I really didn't know what to get. I went with the lamb chops cooked medium well with a salad, rice, and some type of sauce. My friend got the burger and fries. The lamb chops were the perfect lollipop size. They were seasoned ok but I needed a tad bit more or some type of glaze would've been perfect. The added grilled onion was perfect. The rice was just a regular white rice. My salad was good. I didn't really care for the sauce stuff. My friend's burger looked good and I had some of her fries which were nice and crispy. The owner was friendly as well as the rest of the staff. He encouraged me to try a strawberry chocolate pistachio cup. I'm so glad I did! This was delicious! I will definitely be back to try more of the dessert items. read more

Obviously tried this place for the grand controversy over the name. This was our second time coming, first we were there around dinner time just for deserts and the second we came for a late lunch. Service was fine, we did order a combo plate and they forgot the gyro. The interior is beautiful and clean. Baton Rouge has a variety of Greek flavors and we didn't think this was our favorite unfortunately. But you can go for the deserts alone! read more

Finally got the chance to stop by and try this place out and wasn't disappointed! I got the chicken sandwich special, which came with fries and a drink for only 10 dollars. It felt like a steal given how much meat was inside my pita, along with a heaping pile of fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. I managed to barely eat half of my meal before I was full. It would have been enough to feed my boyfriend and I, but he got his own meal which he enjoyed also. The service was great. The cashier answered all of our questions and explained the menu perfectly. We can't wait to return when our bellies are a little less full. Hopefully we'll be able to try some of their beautiful desserts. read more

I support any business playing in Starbucks face, but Starbox will need to work a little harder if they're going to keep up with Baton Rouge's Greek and Lebanese restaurants. It was quick and clean service, but I was less than impressed with the dryness of the gyro and shwarma, and the flavor of the falafel. The staff was super nice and helpful, and I like the clean white and marble of the space. Theres a drive through option which makes them a decent lunch option in the area. The desserts looked amazing, but I haven't gotten a chance to try. I'll come back to try the Dubai chocolate and will update the review then. read more

This was my first time visiting this location, and unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The restaurant is a bit hard to locate off of Sherwood, and the parking lot setup makes it tricky to get in and out. They have a drive-thru window, but if someone is picking up an order there, you can't exit through that lane, you're forced to backtrack and leave through the entrance, which feels a bit unsafe and inconvenient. When I arrived, a family of five was placing a large order, and only one young staff member (a teenager) was taking orders. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and the gourmet hummus, pretty simple items but still ended up waiting about 20 minutes. The family ahead of me received their food first, and even someone who came in after me was served before I was. When my order was finally called, it had clearly been sitting out for a while and wasn't even bagged yet. To make matters worse, there were no utensils or napkins in my bag, which added to the frustration. When I got home, I hoped the food would redeem the experience, but it really didn't. The chicken in the shawarma wrap was very dry, lacked flavor, and had a lot of gristle and fat. The wrap was hard to enjoy, though the dressings and toppings helped a little. The gourmet hummus tasted fine on its own, but the meat topping also had quite a bit of fat and gristle. I've attached photos so others can see exactly what I received. At $18, this just didn't feel like a good value. I really wanted to like this place, but based on this visit, I'll probably stick with my regular spots for shawarma and hummus in the future. read more

Lunch crowd on Monday was pretty small but the food was great. $12-15 for a shawarma or gyro plate with three sides. More authentic than some of the more popular options. I hope this place gets the attention it deserves. read more

Place is ok, floors are a little sticky. Employees are nice. But the food is no good at all. Greek salad was very bad, like canned tomato paste with onions. Chicken shawarma was super bland. The only thing I enjoyed were the French fries. Never going back. read more

Hands-down one of the best falafel spots in Baton Rouge! Not only is their name Starbox Falafel eye catching but so is their variety of a menu. Not only is their food freshly made but each bite is packed with flavor. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. Bonus points for the kids' menu and dessert bar--everyone leaves happy. This place is a gem in Baton Rouge, and I'll be back for round two (or three!) soon." Definitely try the easy cake dessert as it hits the spot every time! read more

Fresh, fast, delicious, and good value. I've been back several times and salad, lentil soup, and stuffed falafel were great.

It was an overall good place to get food and a nice sweet treat if you're looking, however the prices were a bit overpriced in my opinion. The service was great and they took time to tell me what certain things were! read more

The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Everything is just bland. No seasoning on the rice or hummus. Chicken and gyro are close but need more seasoning. Cafe Petra is still my #1 for Greek. read more

I love Mediterranean food, especially gyro, having eaten it at dozens of places. Believe me when I say that Starbox has the best gyro ever, full of flavor, tender and moist. I got the Gourmet Hummus which is similar to Albasha's Sultan's Hummus but with gyro instead of beef tenderloin. The Hummus was good and the pita was outstanding, soft and slightly thicker than the usual pita, looked like it might have been baked on site. Which brings me to the other amazing aspect of this place: the sweets! Someone looking for a wide variety of decadent desserts usually doesn't usually head for the nearest Serop's or Albasha. The first thing you see upon entering the dining room is the huge case of the most gorgeous pastries. Then you notice the menu of crepes and waffles with incredible toppings! What, no Baklava? No worries, they have that but it's covered with chocolate and pistachio sauce! Service was excellent, dining room was clean, lots of parking and although someone was at the drive through window, I had enough room to exit without having to backtrack. You need to try this place, you can thank me later! read more

I'm a big fan of Gryos,up until now my favorite has been Albasha..my girl and I have eaten at Starbox the past 2 Saturdays. Gryo and fries.Let me say maybe the best ive had! Fresh "bread" ,the lamb is perfect,everything is perfect! Even the fries are delicious! Keep up the good work guys! read more

The place with a funny name but the food is no joke! We had the falafel, beef & chicken shawarma, hummus and baba ganoush. All of it was so fresh, flavorful, and so so good! The staff are all very friendly. The baklava and harisa were also delicious and obviously made fresh that morning. There's no place in Baton Rouge that can out do Starbox Falafel in my opinion. I will return for breakfast one day. read more

$40 for 2 different fruit pastries and a crepe. the moment you walk in, beautiful restaurant but man it stunk. service was okay. i think this restaurant has a lot to improve, when it comes to prices and presentation. the fruit pastries were mango and peach, thick chocolate coating that was too overpowering $12 each, both tasted almost identical, the inside filling honestly wasn't that smooth and was too sweet(peach) and sour(mango). presentation wise, it was genuinely ugly. the crepe looked the best but the crepe itself was too thick almost like a pancake. read more

Best restaurant in town hands down. The food was amazing the staff was very friendly I got the chicken shawarma plate and it was the best shawarma I've had. Also make sure to grab some sweets on your way out you would not be disappointed trust me overall 10/10 food and service read more

I went for the opening last week, and the food was amazing I loved their Dubai chocolate cups and their chicken shawarma

The chicken was very fresh, but the hummus was not up to par - watery. The workers wore gloves, but the same ones they used on the cash register and patting other customers on the back - never changed or washed their hands before touching the food. It took a long time to come out to the table, and my order was incorrect. No better or worse than other similar restaurants. Decent enough tables and chairs and a pleasant atmosphere. read more

My husband and I have been twice so far.We definitely will be going back.Both times my husband had chicken shwarma.I had the beef shwarma.Both were great and the prices are very reasonable,The last time we went I had the grape leaves and kibbi.They were the best I have ever eaten .The service has been great and the restaurant is so clean.If you want desserts they have so much to choose from including crepes.They have fruit juices and breakfast is served also.We haven't been for that yet but we will. read more

the food was great the staff were very friendly and welcoming the hummes was very good i love it definitely coming back here again
