smoke & honey - New Orleans (LA)

5 /5 Tai: Ive eaten here several times and everything on the menu is solid. However, the gyro platter is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Every component - pita, chicken, tzaziki, veggies, village salad, fries - is perfectly seasoned, and complements each other so well. Just amazing. Casual order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Nicely decorated and so cozy. Staff is very friendly!

3 /5 Nyor Mirror: I stopped by this neighborhood coffeehouse for a takeout breakfast gyro after seeing the reviews and it being close to our Airbnb. The breakfast gyro was good, but odd with the French fries in it. Small indoor area to wait or eat, along with coffee and Greek pastries available. Clean but pricey. I probably wouldnt go out of my way for gyro.

1 /5 Myche Tician: Tremendously underwhelming experience. Despite the place not being very crowded service was incredibly slow. The prices are very high for what you get. The gyro sandwich was a complete disappointment, just tasting of meat with no additional flavor, very light on the sauce and onions or any traditional accompaniments. For 15 bucks you dont even get an actual side of fries, instead they take about eight french fries and wrap them up in the pita with the sandwich. It feels like a rip off. But then I ordered the beets which were eight bucks or 10 bucks if you wanted them with feta cheese and I was served a very small plate with about six paper thin slices of beets (possibly equivalent to one regular beet) that were completely indistinguishable from what I might go out of a can at the supermarket. That takes some chutzpah. Even their water didnt include ice.

5 /5 Victoria Reeves: Quaint little place with great Greek food. It was so good I forgot to take pictures.. the baked feta with honey was a lovely start. And the "Greek lasagna" because I do not remember the name was worth the wait. The seats are a little uncomfortable but overall we enjoyed our dinning experience. We went back the next day to try the coffee, which was excellent and are planning to go back to try breakfast

4 /5 L. Rocha: Love the location. Friendly service. Food was flavorful and fresh. A bit overpriced though, we paid $40 for two entrees and the portions were small. One of the few places in town that does matzoh ball soup
