I cannot recommend Jamila's Cafe more! Such an amazing experience and environment. The food was fantastic and the restaurant was a really intimate setting. Both the chef and owner are such sweet people and really make you feel at home. I ordered the shrimp and mussels pasta daily special and my friend got the lamb tagine and both were fantastic! Even the butter with the bread was some of the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back!

Me and a Tunisian friend came to this restaurant and we were delighted with the food, the experience and the service. According to my friend, the food was very authentic, even the plates and the food setting was 100% Tunisian. The attention to detail is impressive. I hope I can come back soon.
I highly recommend trying the Brik, Mechouaia, and the Lamb Couscous.
Great atmosphere; everyone did a great job of making you feel welcome. Escargot and mussels were outstanding and so was the lamb. All of the dishes had great flavor. Perfect spot for a date night or an outing with close ones. Will definitely be back!
This place now has our hearts. My husband is Tunisian and one of the main reasons we wanted to come to NOLA was to eat some traditional Tunisian food. We could not have been happier. The food was absolutely delicious, authentic & made with care & love. They made us feel welcome and full which is Tunisian culture at its best. So thankful to have had this experience with them & can’t wait to come back and visit again! Thank you Moncef & Jamila!
Best Tunisian and Mediterranean food in town! If you want to have an authentic culinary experience with a great service this is the place to be! Moncef and Jamila are the sweetest hosts and their food is incredibly good! The lamb couscous and brik were to die for!
If you are looking for a different unique experience, while in NOLA, you should visit this place!!! Food is so delicious but not just that service is exceptional!!! Jamila and Monced are my favorite hosts now, love love love this place ❤️❤️❤️
Where do I begin. This place is amazing. My boyfriend and I wandered in to have dinner for his birthday. Jamila came out to greet and seat us. She made a special mint tea just for us. The atmosphere is very welcoming, intimate and cozy with low lighting. The food was delicious. Although, the food was delicious the service is what will keep me coming back. The experience was like visiting a friend's house and being treated like family. Half way through our dinner we had the pleasure of meeting Jamila's amazing husband. He was just as attentive and kind as his wife. Over all a great experience. 10/10 I would highly recommend.
Absolutely in love with this spot and mad for not knowing about it sooner. Family owned spot with all the love and comfort of grandma’s cooking. We had a little of everything and it was lovely. I got baptized with orange blossom infused water.
If you clicked on this restaurant on google maps, you have been presented with the rare opportunity to eat an absolutely legendary meal at a truly special place. I pray that you don’t click off this and go somewhere else, for your sake.
This restaurant will be famous across the city one day, and it will deserve so much more.
Jamilas Cafe was INCREDIBLE!! Mosef made the night for us and honestly I’m still smiling!! The food was incredible and I cannot wait to come back. The special rack of lamb was top tier. The appetizers were incredible especially the escargot. 100% recommend,
