Almasgoof Restaurant

Come here often and literally everything is delicious. Pampano fish and the Beef Mandi re super tasty. Tandoori chicken and Baba Ganoush are great, too. Very clean restaurant and bathrooms! That's always a good sign. Great staff & service. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Went there the other day for lunch and they seemed to be short staffed. The server was very non existent and kept forgetting things but she didn't seem to care. The food was very good but to bring new friends here and telling them how good it was and then how slow and unapologetic the service was is embarrassing. Please try to get more employees. They had so many people in the restaurant and she seemed to be the only one.

I am giving fives stars, but I only enjoyed the hummus that was served with Turkey bread that was to die for. I LOVE bread and the turkey bread was some of the best bread I've had, especially with hummus. I think I was eating more bread than hummus, since I finished the bread and there was half of the hummus remaining. That just meant I had to order somemore. The hummus was delicious and had a Smokey flavor. The inside was nice, but the authentic dining room is the center of attention. Our server Ethan was so sweet and accommodating, taking really good care of our needs. I will return for the bread alone! I would also like to try some of their dishes, since I had eaten before I got there. Located in Metairie on Transcontinental and maybe West Esplanade, this place is a great place to visit for Mediterranean food. There wasn't anyone in there while we were eating, but a couple of families were coming when we were leaving.

Get the fish! You won't be disappointed. It's so buttery and seasoned perfectly! Don't get me started on the lentil soup, 10 out of 10!

I honestly found this place by chance, and I can say that this place especially took me by surprise! The Beef Tikka (first picture) paired with the salad and sauces complimented each other. The Iraqi salad (second picture) was indeed very pickled, but I enjoyed it very much. The Baba Ganoush (third picture) was good, too.The Tulumba (forth picture) dessert was my favorite dessert! To best describe it, it reminded me of a crunchy beignets covered in a rose water syrup!The Lentil soup (forth picture) had a very homey taste that warmed the soul. I would definitely come back here to try their firewood fish and chicken! #Tonylameats #neworleans #mediterraneanfood #hallalfood #almasgoof

This place came highly recommended, , and it did not dissapoint.The pompano was THE BEST FISH I've ever tasted. And I'm a southern girl who loves blackened & fried catfish.

Me and the wife like to pick new places to eat to get a sense of the changing tastes in our city.This place was pretty good! Their hummus and bread that goes with it was superb! This is the only place that the hummus did not survive our visit. The service was fantastic, our server was nice and very helpful. Even gave our daughter a toy car to keep her busy.I had the beef tikka but I really feel I ordered wrong and should have been more adventurous. I hope to go check it out soon to try everything else on the menu.Place starts to get busy around 6 ish, but the staff is more than accommodating! Give it a try!

We had an enjoyable first visit. My husband and I ordered: hummus, zatar bread, almasgoof kebab plate, and falafel sandwich. Our rankings were: kebab was our favorite, then the hummus, then the falafel, then the zatar bread. The kebab is very flavorful and the dressing on the salad was great. The hummus was also very good. The falafel was good, but different from the standard/expected. It was donut shaped and didn't have the green hue or substantial herbs flavor that I have had with others. It does taste good though. Lastly was the zatar bread. It was a little dry, although once we added a few squeezes of lemon it was enjoyable. As a side note, all items but the kebab needed a little added salt. The service was friendly and the owner came out of the kitchen and talked to each table which was a nice touch.

It took 30+ minutes for the food to come out. When it did come out it was cold and extremely chewy. We got the beef shawarma and beef steak and it was one of the worst dining experience of our lives.

Oh my gosh the best pompano fish! I wasn't expecting this and was so overwhelmed with the best meal. Will be back soon.
