location - convenient Service - fast and friendly Decor - tasteful and elegant Food quality - phenomenal. I ordered chicken and bee shawarma platter. The serving size was more than adequate! The food was definitely prepared fresh to order. The salad had pomegranate in it which was a great twist. The meat was perfectly cooked and spiced. I had ordered one chicken shawarma sandwich to go but I changed the order to two ! Will definitely visit again !

Wasn't expecting much of this place. Staff verbally confirmed that everything was halal. Food certainly very tasty and enjoyable. Will definitely return when next in the city

I stayed in New Orleans for an extended trips on two occasions and was looking for halal and healthy food options in the city. Luckily, I came across Cleo\'s and pretty much went there everyday! The food is incredibly fresh and delicious and the portion sizes are generous. I tried many different dishes and loved all of them! Everybody is friendly and very welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anybody living in/around the city or visiting from out of town!

Came with a group of friends. Food was good. Took a little long but most likely because they were very busy at the time. Reasonable pricing. Location was okay and not difficult to find.
