Lebanon’s Café
1500 N Carrollton St.
(504) 862-6200
What are you in the mood for?
The gyro plate! I’m starving, and it’s a full plate.
How often do they see you here?
At least once a week when I’m not on tour.
There are quite a few Middle Eastern places uptown, why Lebanon’s?
It’s good, consistent and convenient; my kids go to school just a few blocks away so I can grab a bite before picking them up.
Any other places in town you like?
Mona’s has gotten better and we’ll go out to the Mediterranean Café too for a Moroccan and Algerian twist, but Lebanon’s is a favorite.
I heard you’ve traveled in the Middle East and northern Africa. Does this food ever bring you back?
I traveled a lot, but we’d usually just eat what we could when we had money, you know. Sometimes you’d hear of an olive harvest or a festival and make your way there.
