Cleo's - New Orleans

You can order any combination for breakfast here. Texas toast is great.

Ordered lamb here the other night. Went to pay the cashier, he just opened my food and spit right into it in front of my face. I don’t nothing but offer to pay him. I was with a male friend so maybe he was just homophobic. I’ve never had anything like this happen in my life. The most rude and disgusting experience to ruin my time in New Orleans. Hope no one else makes the mistake of shopping here.

I visited the restaurant on May 27th at around 9:10 PM, drawn by the good reviews on vegan options. However, my experience with the cashier was troubling. When I asked if the grape leaves and falafel appetizers were fully vegan, he stared at me for several seconds without responding. I had to ask about dairy or yogurt at least three times before he finally answered they were vegetarian (of course I know…it’s written on the menu… Vegetarian and vegan are different, so I asked again to ensure there was no dairy/yogurt. He nodded after a long, awkward pause and then took my order. When I got home, I found yogurt dipping sauce with the grape leaves, despite my repeated requests for a vegan option. The food itself would have been perfect if the yogurt sauce had been omitted or replaced with a vegan alternative. Unfortunately, this interaction has made me hesitant to order vegan options from here again, even though I really enjoyed the falafels.

Its inside a convenience store food is takeout only

We were looking for something to eat that wouldn't break the bank or our wallets. A falaffel... we were standing in front of the shop and didn't identify it as this because it is a kiosk and Cleo is hidden in it with no seating. There were a few “waiting chairs” kindly. Two boys then ate their food between boxes and goods. There was no seating outside. Luckily the road was closed due to Saint Patrick Day, so we were able to sit on a road closure. The food was ok. but not any more! And there will be a point deduction for the unprofessional answer! The food wasn't worth more than 3 stars and as we noticed, we weren't the only ones who felt that way. And if I only write it for the “German mentality”!
