Dinner comes with some pickled veg (carrots, peppers, and olives) and pita bread. Such a tasty addition to the Lamb kebabs i ordered cooked to medium perfection.

When you first get in you get overwhelmed…read morewith amount of stuff ( cookie pkgs, drinks, water packs who knows what else lol) that's laying piled up in the middle of the floor. Like nobody unpacked any items in a while, just left everything as it was delivered. All the shelves are overflowing with different grocery items mostly snacks, I wonder how they keep up with expiration dates. Probably don't! You check in with a very soft spoken guy at the counter again covered in boxes of candy, snacks and let him know you have on line order. Mine wasn't ready right away so I took a stroll through cramped space between makeshift isles. Saw few interesting items but was scared to purchase due to not knowing how old the stuff actually is. Chicken shawarma comes with two sides, it was decent but on a drier side though and rice was the star for sure - perfectly cooked not clumpy and tasty. Accompanied salad was nice and fresh. Portion are good size. Salmon platter comes with 2 sides - rice and salad, rice again was good but salmon was very dry, like it was cooked yesterday and then reheated multiple times. Could hardly eat it. Order of appetizer hummus - very creamy and nicely seasoned but comes with only two kinda smallish pita breads really barely enough for 2 people. As dessert I ordered pistachio cheesecake - such a disappointment! It tasted weird, not at all like pistachio and didn't really resemble cheesecake but more pistachio mousse or something. Do not order!

They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.

Another underrated bonus: they have their own parking lot with plenty of spaces, which makes grabbing lunch here super convenient. Great burger, great fries, great toppings, easy parking.

I say that because our order took over 30 minutes and we were the last to be served out of 5-6 after us. The wings were likely cooked to order but i don't recall them taking that long on my previous visit. The wings were extra crispy (not too hot to eat) even under the thick sauce. Fries are seasoned and the corn was the star of the show. Flavored to perfection!! Ambiance is playful with the Meero decor throughout.

Either in pita as sandwich, or as plate w/rice meat of choice, hummus+ mini salad. He got Chix Shwarma plate + I had gyros. Meat is cut from traditional spit (ie. good quality) rather than cubed (flavorless) ' pressed parts'. As someone who always cooks/cooked professionally, every single bit of what we got was very good to excellent. Very reasonable prices- like locals pay, not tourist rip off. Order @ counter, food done quick. A few small tables inside; but clearly meant to be carry out driven. I'd eat here very regularly if I lived here- for taste, quality, and for value. Loved it!

I had some time off today and decided to beat this tornado watch to enjoy one of the vendors scheduled. I found Kenny's big red truck two parking lots past Copeland's Meadow coming from the park's Veterans entrance, right past the fountains and parked near Plum Street Snoballs. I came at the last hour it was going on and was very excited to see that he fulfilled his promise on social media to come "rain or shine!" Kenny's Cajun & Creole Cuisine delivers just that. Great local food favorites! On the menu there is a good variety from chicken, fish, shrimp, burgers, pulled pork, and smoked sausage, with additional hot sausage, oyster, and taco specials. I think he did tacos since it was Taco Tuesday! He mentioned to me that he serves a lot of the hospitals downtown. Since it is a food truck, the best way to find them is through their instagram @kennyscajuncreole_onthegeaux. I did see them frequent the line up for Lunch in Lafreniere Park so they more than likely will be back! They are also available for catering. I did a quick scope on the menu the day prior but made my final decision when I came up to the window and peppered Kenny with questions. "What's comes on that? Ok then I'll decide on this. What comes with that? I'll take this." I decided on Buffalo Wings, Mac & Cheese as a side, and it came with a drink so of course I chose a Sprite! He was very friendly and engaging and kept the conversation going while my food was being prepared. I mentioned that I portion my food smaller now so I don't indulge on big meals so he retorted, "well this is going to take you all day to eat!" I told him that I'll eat it all and I hadn't had anything all day in anticipation, but he was not kidding! If you are truly visiting his food truck during a lunch break you will clock back in FULL. My favorite part was when he presented the plate to me to confirm I got the correct order. Since it was so windy I had to go to my car to eat instead of a nearby bench. I got 5 huge, fresh, juicy wings, compartmentalized neatly in foil. Coincidentally I got more flats which I love but the drums had so much meat on them! If you prefer your wings spicy and on the vinegary side you will love these. In hindsight I wish I would have asked for ranch or something to dip them in, and he has plenty of sauces available! Now the Mac & Cheese didn't look like a lot tucked under everything else but it was a generous helping that took up half the plate! I was shoveling bites into my face! It was small macaroni with a mild cheddar taste topped with more shredded cheese, and paired well with the hot wings. I truly had to put some to the side to eat for later. As far as other sides I took a peek at the Cajun Fried Rice which is tossed in Cajun spices without meat (which is good for halal or lent) and it looked so tasty. It also came with a crusty, buttered slice of Texas Toast. Great well rounded meal with amazing value that won't disappoint if you are working and need a piping hot meal. So hot I had to take my sweater off! I definitely hope to run into Kenny's truck in the future and try other items and specials! He was so kind and brings a great energy to the truck!
