Chill Out Cafe - New Orleans

This was likely the best meal we had during our time in New Orleans. Jamila's Cafe came highly recommended by a friend, and I'm so glad we decided to check it out. It's a cozy little spot run by a husband and wife, and they serve some truly outstanding food. My wife ordered the fish while I went for the lamb chops, and both dishes were simply perfect. It was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo! This is definitely a place we'll be returning to on every visit to New Orleans. If you find yourself getting tired of gumbo, jambalaya, and fried foods, I highly recommend giving Jamila's Cafe a try — you won't regret it!

The food did not meet my expectations. I've traveled to North Africa before, so I was hoping for better couscous and tagine. However, the dessert was delicious. Unfortunately, the owner was rude and pretended to be friendly. When I asked the waitress questions about the menu, the owner told her, "We're not doing this," which made me want to leave immediately. It seemed like the owner was trying to leverage cultural elements to their advantage. Ultimately, I left. The restaurant feels more like a local spot, and it appears that they can only manage that. Additionally, the belly dancing performances on Saturdays haven't resumed since the COVID-19 pandemic, so if you're looking for an authentic Arabian experience, you're out of luck.

An underrated and often overlooked gem of a restaurant, Jamilla's is a family-owned establishment. Jamila is the chef, while her husband manages the front of the house. The food is outstanding. During our recent visit, we enjoyed the mussels, eggplant salad, couscous with fish, and fish with chutney—all of which were excellent. The atmosphere may not be anything extraordinary, but the host and server are attentive and friendly. We dine out five times a week, primarily in Uptown, and honestly, we don’t visit Jamilla's nearly as often as we should.

Ok so yesterday i gave this place a shot, and since i come from the same country as this restaurant does, i can have a valid opinion on it, so the food is very far from Tunisian authentic food, the Ojja Merguez was too dry and had no broth or sauce that you can't eat it with bread like it's supposed to be eaten, it's kind of americanized that you gotta use forks to eat it, which is not the authentic way. I had Salade Mechouia and it was okay.. it lacked olive oil though, theBrik with Tuna was nice i give them credit for that, i have a few comments on the bread supply, so they would give you a basket of bread that's not enough for the food, i had to ask for bread every 5 minutes and it would take time to getit, i gotta mention the long waiting time to get your food too, i was also moved from my spot 2 times to leave it for other people which was very uncomfortable, I expected a warmer welcome and i came here mainly to chat and have a good timewith my countrymen, unfortunately I didn't get any of that.

Chill Out is a wonderfully unpretentious and genuine Thai restaurant located in a charming little neighborhood in New Orleans. We enjoyed some of the best Thai cuisine we've ever tasted, so you can't go wrong with either the pad Thai or the pad ped curry. Their calamari is truly exceptional—hands down the best I've ever had, and we just couldn't get enough! And if you visit, be sure to try their Thai iced tea; it's simply amazing.
