But it's a cuisine that…read morecomes to mind when I think of this city thanks to this spot along with the stellar reviews that accompany it. This is one of three Albasha locations in the southeast Louisiana area. Thank god this location is near our field office in Baton Rouge which is where I was assigned to in early October allowing me to dine at this spot for lunch. The dining area spacious with plenty of seating. It does get a lot of traffic during the weekday lunch hours; probably cause of the lunch specials that are offered which we took advantage of. The menu consists of your typical Mediterranean eats such as hummus, baba ganouj, stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita (spinach pie), chicken/beef schwarma, lamb shank, moussaka, and kabobs (just to name a few). Lunch specials involve plates which include a feta cheese salad, rice pilaf, and hummus that accompany the entrees. Ranging from $14-18, this is quite the steal, especially during times like these. The Lamb Shank lunch I ordered was delicious with plenty of food that I had to have a to-go box to bring the remainders with me. The chicken shwarma and vegetable platter were ordered by other parties who both loved them. And we also started with the fried cheese which is served in a bed of olive oil and spices with some cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. Very tasty, especially with the vegetable garnishes. I need to get another assignment in Baton Rouge so I can come back here again!

Total embarrassment and even illegal. Cock roaches everywhere, no air conditioning, the place needs to be condemned. Roaches thrive in hot areas. Just know that if you're going to eat there, roaches have crawled all over your food and the ownership couldn't care less. read more

I love how this location is right on LSU's campus, so it is very convenient for me. I walked here but there are plenty of spaces to street park. I came here on a Thursday at lunch, and there was a decent amount of people in here but my food didn't take long at all. You order at the counter and pick it up when they call. Prices were decent. There are so many options on the menu! From salads to subs, the options of make your own were endless! Everything looked really good, and I was stuck between the ham and Swiss or the turkey. I ended up with the turkey on wheat not toasted with just pickles, tomatoes and oil and vinegar... just the way I like it. I didn't get chips or a drink. This is a perfect lunch spot for anyone craving a gooood sandwich!

I can't believe I've never done a review on this Jason's Deli location. How did THAT happen??!!…read more I've been here a number of times. Each time I've gone, it's been a great experience. From the salad bar, to the sandwiches, everything tastes great. They use good quality items, and the servings are plentiful. The salad bar selection is HUGE and a meal in and of itself, if that's what you are looking for. Their menu is huge so it's a great place to go if everyone in your group wants something different. They even have a calorie count for their meals so there's no guessing! What?! During the "pandemic environment", they appear to still be serving the salad bar, but you tell them what you want and they serve you rather than you going to get it yourself. They are doing social distancing, etc., but you are able to dine in if you choose, and, of course, they are doing pickup, and have a drive thru area if that's what you want to do. They also do catering. What's not to love about that? If you are looking for a great meal that's reasonably priced. Give Jason's Deli a try!
