    Chicken gumbo
    Angel P.

    Don't judge the food by the appearance of the place. The food and service was great. The chicken gumbo, my God, so good,flavorful and full of meat and spices. Also, had a shrimp po-boy with the works. Tasty and full of shrimp. French Bread was toasted just right.

    I had just finished visiting the aquarium and was figuring out where to eat. I decided to give the food court a try at Canal Place. The food court is on the third floor. I found Centre Deli and gave it a try. Being Canadian, the curious and cool spelling of the business caught my attention. I liked the look of this place in the middle of the afternoon. You had the option of getting hot or cold items. Since it was hot and humid outside, I went with a sandwich instead of a hot dish. Considering that the shrimp po boy that I had at a different establishment wasn't all that great, I gave it a try here. One word: redemption! The shrimp po boy here was outstanding. Flavourful, yummy shrimp in a bun that was perfect. So good! Sometimes, you find gems at a food court. Centre Deli is one of them. I would come back here in a heartbeat. (34)

    I love the Centre Deli. Located on the 3rd floor in Canal Place, Centre Deli is a solid lunch option if you are in the area. My office is very nearby, and this is my go-to spot, especially when I am in a hurry; as the service is always quick. The deli is actually 2 delis in one. The left side is the hot foot bar. They feature a plethora of local comfort foods such as baked chicken, fried chicken, baked fish, baked salmon, fried fish, meatloaf, stuffed bell peppers, lasagna and a variety of vegetables. My favorite is the baked chicken, as the pieces are HUGE. I always get the steamed veggies which consist of a blend of cabbage, broccoli and carrots. However, I've had the fried fish, the salmon and the gumbo and have never been disappointed. I don't know her name, but there is a wonderfully nice hispanic lady who always works the hot line and enthusiastically greets her regular customers. The right side of the deli is for sandwiches. Their hot sausage po-boy is my favorite in the city. Yeah you heard me right when I said that my favorite hot sausage po-boy comes from a deli in a mall's food court. They have NEVER overcooked and dried out the patty style sausage, and it is always dripping with fatty flavorful goodness' and the french bread is always fresh. If you are in the area around lunchtime, give this place a try. It will forever change your viewpoint on food court food. They damn sure made a believer out of me.

    ***As of 6/4/15, Centre Deli is NOT closed!*** I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if you're like me and work in Canal Place, you don't have a whole lot of options in the building. The ladies that run the deli are quick and efficient and very sweet. The hot foods are very good and I've had some really good meals here under $10 including salmon, fried chicken, and lasagna. I am more likely grab a small hot sausage po-boy and fries for about $7 or if I am having a bad day I splurge with a grilled cheese with bacon. The deli also has breakfast items like bagel and croissant sandwiches, grits and eggs.

    Muffuletta and cheesesteak all day!!…read more That's our go to sammiches. Lots of folks, and I mean lots, really like the wow sauce. We think it just ok. The cheesesteak is super tasty, great bread steak sliced thin and cooked just right and American cheese to make melty. The hot muffuletta is one of the best in town. Plenty of meat and olive spread and the toasted muffuletta bread is so good. Service? What service you order at the cashier, not in the back, you pay your money, stay out of the way and wait for your number to get called. It's that simple. Don't wander around in the back looking at the deli counter confused, the place is too small and they don't take your order there. Don't try it, don't think about it, don't even look back there. The cashier is up front thats where you wanna be. When they call your number take your bag and leave. Walk away from the front door then shove it in your face. It's so good. Even if for some reason you didn't like the food that's ok, you got a real NOLA experience so know matter what you're a winner. I went by myself this time so only a cheesesteak pic, but just imagine that pic in muffuletta form with different toppings and no melty cheese.

They have so much to choose from. The beef steak is also super yummy. Grab a beer or whatever else you'd like to drink!

We split a Fat Cat sandwich ($20.25) from Empire State Deli, which is a full pound of grilled NY style pastrami on toasted Rye, with Swiss Cheese, mustard and Russian Dressing. Delicious, and more than enough for two to share. Door Dash took nine-minutes, from pickup to putting the hot delicious sandwich in my hands. I am super pleased, both with Empire State Deli, (a business where I have never been, but has earned a high Yelp rating, which gave me confidence to order sight-unseen) and with Door Dash, whose slick website and fast service means I'll be ordering through them again. Empire State Deli, Five Stars for their remarkable Fat Cat Sandwich, and Door Dash, Five Stars, for their remarkable service and delivery.

This fun joint also provides a good choice of daily specials. You walk in and get in line then start looking at the menu and checking out the daily specials to decide what you will eat. The ambiance is very interesting with food items all over the place like a little tightly packed grocery store. This spot is VERY popular which leads to the biggest problem here which is parking. The parking here is very limited and it is a bit of a challange to get in and out of the parking lot. Many people say this is their favorite spot to eat and it seems a lot of folks come here nearly daily to get their World Deli fix taken care of. Overall you have a lot of great options and they have enough variety that most folks should find something that will make them happy.

My MIL brought me here for the first time in '93 and she and her friends still come for lunch a few times a month as do most people who've lived here their whole life. Parking is tight but don't let that keep you away from the World. Yesterday, I went in for meatballs and red sauce but quickly took a detour when I saw the daily special, Crawfish Monica. If you're visiting for the first time, crawfish or shrimp Monica is a local favorite that's getting harder to find on restaurant menus partly because every family has their own version of this special party dish. The Monica special was outstanding. I got a plate full of spicy crawfish cream sauce mixed with rotini pasta, a side of spiced corn and garlic bread, enough for lunch and a midnight snack. I also couldn't pass up the shrimp remoulade salad for my lunch the next day. The shrimp were seasoned, the romaine greens were fresh, and the remoulade dressing was a knockout. If you're not feeling like a hot plate special, World Deli has a big list of sandwiches and poboys that are super popular, as well. But whatever you decide, don't skip out on dessert. This is one of the few local sandwich spots with a homemade dessert menu as big as the sandwich one and these desserts cater to the local palate. Yesterday they had plain cheesecake, cheesecake with cherry sauce, Tuscan cream cake, rum cake, pineapple upside down cake, wedding cake, pralines, and tiramisu. Don't ever pass up the rum cake in Louisiana. If you're in town for the weekend and have access to a fridge, buy some spinach artichoke dip and crab stuffed mushrooms from the ready-prep fridge for a late night snack. This place is the real deal. Stop in and see where y'at.
