Goy visiting for the food. fantastic service food and experience. for someone who has very little interaction with the american jewish community it was great to have a little window into the culture. the sandwich was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive.
Incredible kosher food, burgers were delicious and better than any burger I’ve ever eaten in New York. The store has cool history on the walls and all these sports memorabilia, the owner Joel is very nice! I got chicken nuggets and they were so good and the burgers were super juicy. They sell a lot of kosher food in the supermarket section of the shop which is great for if u ever find yourself in Metairie. Prices are reasonable too. It’s a cool shop would definitely recommend u can spend all day in there
I traveled to New Orleans for a company retreat and needed special meals ordered and delivered to the different places my company had booked brunches and dinners for. Joel from Kosher Cajun did an excellent job on ensuring the food was delivered on time every time, meals sent to restaurants were delivered elegantly. The dishes were fresh and delicious. I recommend them very much when you're in town and need to rely on someone that is attentive to one's dietary needs.
Felt like you were home Food was delic. Warm atmosphere We were able to eat kosher Louisiana cooking if wanted The owner Joel Brown and his wife were beyond gracious hosts. Sports memrobelia all over his store. All types of Kosher groceries to purchase. All types of people come to eat at this Delic establishment which has been around for 36 years. Highly highly recommend
What a great place. The food was great, we had typical kosher deli sandwiches and matza ball soup. The place has tons of sports memorabilia all over the place, even the ceiling. The staff were kind and prompt. Just really happy we found the place.
I’ve been wanting to come here for a while and today we finally were able to! We live an hour away and it was worth the drive. I’ve been wanting to find a store with Israeli snacks and food and this is it! We got lunch and it was DELICIOUS! The cashier was so nice and helpful. We got matzoh soup, Rueben sandwiches, and fresh halva. Plus lots of snacks! They have lots of judaica gift/ book items too. I definitely recommend stopping.
We were so excited to find Cajun favorites made kosher! We tried the jambalaya, the red beans and rice with sausage, and the 'shrimp' po boy and enjoyed all. We were staying in New Orleans over Shabbat so we also got a fried chicken Shabbos special which was great. The restaurant also has a well-stocked mini kosher market including meats, cheese, frozen items, and deli items plus pantry products. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, getting us all set up and giving us local recommendations.
This spot is the only kosher option in New Orleans, and usually that’s grounds for sucking, but this place is awesome! Firstly, they have Kosher groceries. Everything you need to make a Shabbos as a traveler, from Challah, to candles, wine and take out food. They have importered chocolates, rugelach etc. Their take-out food is super tasty! We ordered the white fish with bagels, good stuff. We also got the jimbalaya, the po boy sandwich, and the classic pastrami sandwich. It was nice to have a little taste of Nola but it was also great to have classic deli as well. Also the staff is so nice and friendly and helpful. We’ll be back!
