The Greater EBR area is completely full of great Greek & Lebanese restaurants. To stand out, you need to do all the basics REALLY WELL and give a little extra to stand out. 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! read more

The shrimp pasta is amazing. Don't even get me started about the fried cheese appetizer. It is always phenomenal. I love this place. The only drawback is their salad dressing is not the best. read more

The Chicken Scaloppini and fried cheese alone are worth 5 the stars. Service is good and food is always freshly made. Usually no wait and worth the drive. read more

This place has amazing food! We have enjoyed the take-out several times and I've tried many dishes and they all have been excellent. The order is always correct and the staff is always friendly. Never had any issues or problems. Their fried halloumi cheese is top shelf I highly recommend. Their signature cream sauce they use with most of their pasta is consistently excellent, it's called "crème blanche wine sauce" read more

Great service and food. We frequent this place at least once a month. Especially when the wife has a craving for chicken shwarma salad. You will always get friend service when you go here. I normally go for the lobster ravioli but this time they had a special for BBQ chicken schwarma with rice, humus and a choice if feta salad or what I chose was the fatoush salad. This dish was really good. A must try. read more

The service is always great. We love the food, even my picky kid. We love that it's pretty low key and I don't think we've ever been there with it loud and obnoxious. read more

4/3/25 The food is great I had chicken shawarma pasta. Wife had Phoenica stapler and lot of good groceries. It was excellent. Plenty of clean dining space You get the feeling it family Owen and operated and the food reflects it Great service read more

We order Cafe Phoenicia for lunch through Major Menus weekly. The menu has a lot of options and it's convenient when your work schedule is tight and you can't go out. I've ordered entrees and appetizers and it's always been delicious. Although the Denham Springs location is not close to downtown, my lunch is always hot and fresh. The ONLY reason I am leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because my salad is usually drenched in salad dressing and it is soggy. (uugghh) read more

We had the platter for 2 with the tiramisu & cheesecake. The beef & lamb are so tender with the vegetables. it was my husband's first time eating here & he wants to order again. we will have to done in next time read more

The food is always fresh and tasty. I tend to order a salad with the Chicken Shawarma. The portion size is adequate and so are the salad toppings.. OK I'm through with it read more

Food was outstanding. Service was ok. Ambiance was highly enjoyable. Lentil soup is to die for and Chicken Tetrazini is extremely tasty.

Food was awesome ! Huge portions and service were very attentive quick and efficient. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. It is very comforting and reminds you of previous nostalgic experiences as a child. Again, food was fantastic. read more

Sigh. Where to start? I'll start with the words plain and bland. That summarized pretty much everything except for three components of the appetizer sampler: the eggplant, the Grecian Eggroll and the Spinach Pie. Everything else including the Phoenician Sampler entree I had was eminently and wholly forgettable. Maybe the stuffed grape leaves. But even the side salad was basically water and oil and a lot of white stems. A simple touch of a vinegar could have made it a passable salad, but alas, nothing. The chicken schwarma was dry and lifeless -- really the only taste was the occasional piece of roasted crust. The fried Kibbi did, though, have a distinct Levantine flavor spicing, something I was hoping to enjoy in other parts of the bland sampler. Ambiance was nice; service was prompt and polite. Quantity was good for a dinner plate; pricing was Ok but given today's run up in prices, still puts the old restaurant dinners from five years ago a distant memory. Overall, nothing to really draw me back. Maybe when I forget this episode in six months and I want a taste of the Levant, I'll try again. read more

The fried cheese appetizer is a must!!! The olive oil and garlic on the plate is amazing for dipping pita bread in. I usually go for a salad, but I did the shrimp kabob and it was SO GOOD!! Our server didn't hover but was there when needed. read more

Greek and Italian, what a great restaurant. Always make it a point when headed to BR.

I thought the food here was bland and many dishes were too dry. The server was very nice, but other than that the experience was not what we expected for a Mediterranean restaurant. I would avoid this place if you are looking for quality Mediterranean food in the area. read more

A nice dinner with the family. Food was fresh and feta salad was light with a nice olive oil vinaigrette. The menu had plenty options which is great if everyone wants a little something different. We shared the Phoenicia sampler. I also had a cup of the lentil soup which was very flavorful--I really enjoyed that. The service was great. The restaurant was very clean. The best part of it was the huge dessert selection that is on display right when you walk in the door. We look forward to going back and trying some other menu items. read more

Food is awesome and we had it delivered! Will definitely return, TY!

Good food, nice people, rarely crowded. Good parking lot, but a little hard to get out of. Desserts are fantastic.

We came here for dessert with the family! Great atmosphere and great wait staff. We had the tiramisu and the white chocolate bread pudding. Both of them I highly recommend. The staff did a great job and was pretty quick. I am going to try the food at the other location in Central! But from the looks of the dishes coming out, they looked amazing! You can tell their Chef cooks from the hearThe menu is detailed and the options are endless. I recommend this spot for large parties, lunch meetings or even just watching a sporting event! read more

Wow. Enough food for two people and very good. The hummus was meh but the gyro meat and chicken was fabulous.

Food selection outstanding! Had falafel, grape leaves and baklava for dessert. All very good. Best Lebanese tea ever! Price is right and excellent service. Decor as you would expect. A little Greek and Lebanese. Perfect!!! read more

The food was great as well as dessert Staff was great and service was great as well. Thank you read more

Not the fanciest setting, which is never my priority anyway, but I've never been disappointed with the food or service. The Grecian Egg Rolls are a-freaking-mazing & the Grecian dip is the bastardized American indulgence of the Greek world that equates to Queso in the Mexican world. read more

I was very surprised how good this restaurant was, as this was my first visit from out of town. Such a quiet environment, excellent service, and large quantities of food. If u love Mediterranean food, u will likely enjoy eating here. read more

It is wonderful!! Everything I've had over the years is so yummy! Full of seasoning and flavor. I have no complaints what so ever. If you love greek food, then you will love this restaurant. There are so many choices to pick from. I try to order new dishes, but I tend to order my favorites over and over. The staff has always been very attentive, and we have never had to wait very long for our food whether we dine in or order takeout. read more

Best Mediterranean food in Denham Springs. Go have dinner here or even order to go! You will not be disappointed.

I had the Chicken Sharma. The chicken was cut in chunks, not sliced, and very dry. The rice pilaf was basically a scoop of white rice with a couple green peas in it; tasteless! It was edible after asking for dressing to dip the chicken and pour over the rice. Definitely didn't leave me with a desire to eat there again. ​ read more

Great place and environment very friendly and great customer service the food is everything excellent
