Tal's Hummus is a must-visit. The hummus is incredibly smooth and flavorful, and everything tastes fresh and authentic. Great quality, friendly service, and a casual vibe. Arayes and the fries are yummy !! Easily one of the best Mediterranean spots in New Orleans. read more

Ever since Tal's moved from their location it's not felt the same. I had the worst interaction with the owner and won't be returning. I don't go in person anymore because it's tucked inside a pseudo-sleek but actually stale feeling restaurant now and doesn't feel the same. I wouldn't take guests there due to the aesthetic changes like I did before. However I've been fine to get to go orders and tend to do that through UberEats. I won't go in to all the details, but my major take away was the tone and lack of hospitality I was met with after a misunderstanding about a dietary accommodation on my order. I would have been fine with a simple up-charge, but 35% up charging the food seemed a bit unreasonable--and regardless of price it was the attitude I was met with during the interaction where my order had already been delayed 30+ minutes. Meet me halfway or inform me kindly for the future, but don't explain the margins to me and chastise me. You've lost a loyal advocate and customer. read more

Been here twice & have had an amazing experience both times. Tried the lamb shawarma bowl and the eggplant (Sabich) pita sandwich. They're consistent in the quality, freshness, and taste of the food. Phenomenal customer service - made the protein selections fresh both times. Large serving portions for a good price and you won't feel bad about eating the food. Will most definitely be back! If you're in the area I would 100% check them out. It's in a small cozy place very nice dinner experience. read more

Tal's Hummus - Falafel Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My falafel sandwich was delicious! I'm petty sure they make the pita in the back and it was still warm. The only reason I gave four dusts instead of five is they gave me nine fries. Delicious fries but too. read more

Ordered a falafel platter to pick up. The falafel balls were somewhat small and very hard fried. There was no pita in the bag. The flavors weren't bad at all, but it was nothing to write home about. I later went to Lebanon Cafe and Monas and placed the same order -- I'd rate both above Tals in basically every category. read more

Falafel pita sandwich was tasty. Could've had more falafel, less veggies which although flavorful, a but soggy which made the pita bread soggy. Only had about 7-8 fries in the bag‍ read more

This was probably the best hummus I've ever had in the United States - and I'm someone who frequents the Middle East OFTEN. The service was great, the l nation is super accessible and I can't wait to be back next time I visit New Orleans. read more

The food was ok not the service was slow and took a long time to get the food and we were the only ones in the restaurant and there was Flys landing on my food as i orderd the chicken and it tasted like lamb and another order the lamb and it was beef read more

Great vegetarian option in city. The pitas are so fresh and bouncey. I ordered the sabich sandwich and had side of fries. The pitas was packed with fresh veggies. read more

When the weather is nice in New Orleans do NOT miss the opportunity to dine outdoors. Yelper bestie, Jen L. and I skipped up the street (not literally) for a quickie lunch. Ice Teas (pricy, but take advantage of the free refills), Carrots, crispy Cauliflower to share, the Jen ordered a side of Falafel and I ordered the beef kebab pita sandwich. We grabbed a seat out front in the shady part of the day snd began people watching. Apparently a couple HTV famous chaps walked by, but I didn't understand and was called out for bringing out my California loudness (are we loud? I could careless about celebrity, please.....well maybe a couple of peeps) The Cauliflower was especially delicious and we oooh and ahhh'd at every bite. My kebab was sooo good, juicy and packed with crunchy cucumbers. I wish I ordered extra Hummus to go, I know Ill be kicking myself over the oversight. Oh heck I can just go again next week! read more

Tal's Hummus - free refills on the iced tea - Falafel Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Food was delicious and the staff was so nice !! First time here and I'm definitely going back!!

Discovered this place while doing chores in the area, and I'm so glad I came in for breakfast on a whim. Will definitely be going back to try the vegan chicken.... we love to see alternative options! I ordered the falafel platter with couscous instead of fries. Everything was delicious with perfect texture and full flavor. The falafel reminded me a little of the stuff I make at home... which is a compliment because I make bomb falafel. The hummus was nice and creamy, and the fresh pickles were fun to try. The cucumber salad was pretty light on salt and I'm kind of a salt fiend, so I just grabbed a shaker and remedied that. The pita was def one of my favorite parts; it seemed house-made... respect. The couscous was fluffy and plump with a savory tomato flavor. Overall, a super satisfying meal, with portions large enough to take a bit home. Was kinda pricey, but that's likely because of the location; nothing is cheap on Magazine. read more

I so enjoyed our recent meal at Tal's Hummus. I am still thinking about my chicken souvlaki pita. SO good. Moist chunks of marinated grilled chicken with diced cucumbers & tomatoes, slathered in delicious sauces. One was hummus; the other I wasn't familiar with. But man, this sandwich delivered! The pita is made in house & so darn good. My husband got the mixed grill pita & enjoyed his as well. The pitas are served with French fries. Tal's can be pricey, depending what you order. A modest plate of hummus & pita will run you $13-16 depending which variety. And the entrees are expensive in my opinion (most are $22+ & one is priced at $29) for a fast casual place such as this. One small critique is the fact that they don't have mayonnaise available. We are a mayo-loving family, especially as a dip for French fries. Offer some mayo packets, Tal's! My recommendation: stick with any of the flavorful pitas & you won't leave Tal's disappointed. read more

Goated establishment. Never had anything other than the chicken and falafel pitas but they're both elite. The free pickles are 11/10

Maybe it was just a bad night (Friday after Thanksgiving) because we heard it has a good reputation...but, falafel were heavy on salt, Moroccan carrots had no salt or flavor, hummus was also bland/mostly tahini, the tabouli was just a pile of chopped parsley with (toasted?) quinoa and soy sauce, or maybe vinaigrette? Nothing usually in tabbouli. And the Israeli salad was partially chopped tomoatoes and cucumber with nothing else. Pitas got high praise, vegan and chicken shwarma and lamb kebobs were good! read more

This food is the real deal. I recommend the Chicken Shawarma plate, which comes with Israeli Salad, Hummus, fries and pillowy fresh pitot. Friendly service and indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Tal's Hummus - Chicken shawarma platter - Falafel Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Came here for the first time and was disappointed. Got the 50/50 chicken and lamb shawarma platter and the meat was chopped up so finely it was almost like ground meat. It was also very salty and a lot of it was grisly. The hummus and fries were okay. Not worth the price. read more

I had been wanting to try Tal's for a while and was bummed that it wound up being underwhelming. The place is comfortable and the service was friendly. The food was very expensive for what you got. And needed salt/flavor. I wouldn't come back. read more

If you're looking for affordable and delicious food you've found it. AMAZING for vegans and vegetarians ( the stuffed bell pepper is my fav!) Food comes out quick and servers are always super nice. Store is also super cute with outdoor seating! read more

Always delish. We're regulars an never disappoints. Had the falafel plate and Mediterranean grilled chicken tonight. Beautiful presentation. read more

A group of 7 of our girlfriends came by while on a trip and it was amazing! So much food, Services's great! I split the 6 sharables with a friend and we had leftovers.... The goat cheese was fantastic!!! Loved the carrots and beets. The regular pita bread was my favorite, but many loved the fried pita too. The babaganoush was yummy too!! We really enjoyed all the food and the setting was really nice too. read more

I finally made it down to Tal's and was not disappointed. I went because I love Middle Eastern cuisine, I saw how many vegetarian and vegan options they have, and I wanted to support a Jewish-owned business. Coming from an Arabic neighborhood in Chicago, I am spoiled on delicious Middle Eastern food, particularly Lebanese and Turkish cuisine. I was very curious to see how an Israeli approach to the cuisine would differ. It turns out it's pretty similar. What makes Tal's special, I think, is the variety of healthy options, which include a lot of creativity. I had the avocado salad, which was phenomenal. One of the best things I've had in New Orleans, where I tend to have difficulty finding food that I enjoy. This salad was a whole avocado with hard boiled egg and olives on a bed of delicious labneh. I also tried the falafel sandwich, which was good. But I wish I had ordered the eggplant sandwich, as the young man who worked there advised me to do. I just like to try falafels first. Tal's is very green and flavorful. But I liked the hummus and the pickles best on that sandwich. I will go back soon to try the eggplant sandwich and other dishes. read more

Love the hummus here! Stopped in this week for an order to go. It's hands down the best I have eaten.

Second time here and I will definitely come back to try all of the hummus options. I had the fried cauliflower pita, which came drenched in sauce and salad. I wish it were more deconstructed so the cauliflower stayed crispy. The pita is somehow both fluffy and dense, with a great flavor. The side salad of cucumber and tomato was simple but delicious with a lemon dressing. My favorite part was the mint lemonade...with sprigs of fresh mint that provided a beautiful aroma with each sip. Creative inexpensive option on a less travelled section of Magazine. read more

Came here one day when I was really craving some shawarma. I looked over the menu, which was limited but placed my order. The workers were okay and somewhat friendly, and it didn't take too long for the food to come out. I took one bite and there was hummus in my sandwich. There had been no mention of it anywhere on the menu that it would be included, so I hadn't even thought about it. However, as someone who's allergic to the main ingredient, I immediately had to return it and ask for another. At this point, I was treated like an outcast, and what little bit of friendliness that I had experienced initially was completely gone. By the time I received my replacement, I just wanted to leave. The vibe had soured my entire experience, and I donated my shawarma to a friend who I met up with later. Definitely not worth the time or money. read more

I do make better falafel then that. The falafel were so hard that it almost broke one of my tooth. Ordered a bowl of stir fry vegetable couscous and it was bathing in oil and so salty that i couldn't even take a second bite. I went back and was afraid to try anything else in the menu because the food was so bad. read more

The falafel burger is delicious! It doesn't show up on the online order section so call and ask for it. The hummus is great! The fries are the best I've ever had. Thick cut and seasoned perfectly. Worth the price. Great to eat in (bring your own beers) or take out! read more

Great food, great prices. We went a little over board and ordered so much, so filling! read more

Tal's is one of those places I've been going for years and is always dependably excellent. Their meat is all delicious as is their falafel. I really can't say I have a preferred meal to eat there and its good for both a quick lunch or if I want dinner. You can't miss the fries or hummus either. It's really easy to order online and go pick up from their window if you're in a rush. They don't skimp on portion size either...you'll never leave hungry. read more

This used to be my favorite Mediterranean casual place in all of Nola but something changed and i went today and it was actually revolting I couldn't eat it. I'm devastated I literally had to spit my food out. This is so SAD!!!!! read more

Tal's Hummus has amazing food and has an extensive menu. The hummus was very good and the bread was great. The chicken is not shawarma style. It is more like saffron chicken but tasty. The portions are big and frankly the plate can be shared for two people. There is still more to try on the next visit. Enjoy. read more

I ordered the vegan shawarma that came with the hummus, Israeli salad, hummus, pita and also ordered a mint lemonade. The mint lemonade was delightful - I sucked it down within just a few minutes. Everything was really good, but the pita was the best pita that I have ever had! It was warm and soft - I can't wait to go back for more. Delicious. read more

Pandemic update I ordered lunch for me and Mom and a couple of friends on a recent Saturday. Ordering online was easy through DoorDash. We ordered a lot! We had beef kebab pitas and chicken shawarma and hummus and baba ganoush and carrots and Israeli salad. The pita is poofier than some of the other places in town, but that's a regional difference. My Mom loved her beef kebab and the baba ganoush. The hummus was yummy and so were the carrots (spicy!) and the salad. I picked up and you can choose to go inside (where the specials are listed so you have FOMO about what's not on the app) or there is a window on the side street to be even more distant. Everything was delicious and the staff is great. read more

Amazing!! Came here on vacation and was blown away. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I have a few allergies (gluten, dairy, eggs) and our server went out of her way to ensure I could enjoy the food with no problems. They have delicious gf/df/egg free pita bread which was amazing, lovely falafel, chicken, some of the best fries I've ever had, and obviously great hummus. Such a cute location and interior as well. Love this place! read more

I ordered from here on uber eats during a trip to New Orleans. I found the prices very high, but the reviews for the food looked good and I thought maybe portion sizes would be huge. I ordered the chicken shawarma pita with fries, chicken shawarma platter with hummus and salad, and BOGO baklava. The fries were very good but the chicken shawarma tastes were just not as flavorful as all the other times I've had shawarma. The hummus and pita bread as well as the salad were excellent. The baklava did not taste right. The flavor was just off and not what I was looking forward to at all. Portion sizes of the chicken were large, but not enough to justify the high cost. The baklava was buy one get one (3 pieces for $10 normally, way too expensive) and still I thought it was way overpriced for the 6 below average tasting pieces. They also forgot utensils which was annoying. I would not order from here again. read more
