Absolutely amazing! So glad I waited. The curry was bursting with flavor! And butternut squash salad, Turkey, blue cheese was superb!
This is a true New Orleans food experience! Tiny hole in the wall place with hours and menu that constantly change. The atmosphere is eclectic, from the decor to the music to the chef himself. Absolutely check the ARS menu page on Facebook before you go, it will let you know when they're open, what the day's menu is, and what's left. There's only street parking available, and there's usually a line. They take cash & card. All food is to go, but they do have a picnic table outside if you can't wait to dig in! Everything is made fresh, right in front of you, and the flavors are immaculate.Today I had the seafood fettuccine in spicy tomato sauce, it's so difficult to get scallops and mussels cooked this perfectly! The sauce was spicy, but full of flavor and not just heat. The Meyer lemon & summer berry ooey gooey was the perfect balance - zesty, creamy, tart, and dreamy. The tollhouse pie was so good I wanted to cry, I want that salted caramel sauce on top of everything for the rest of my life. Do yourself a favor and go check it out, it's worth the wait!
The Cincinnati Trash Plate was awesome. I highly recommend this place to anyone that hasn't yet had a chance to try it out.
This place is amazing. Finally swung by after my neighbor raved about the food. The menu constantly changes and I had to check the FB page to see the days menu. I ordered a few dishes and stood around talking to Chef Pete. This guy is awesome. It does take a while for the food to get cooked but if I wanted fast food, Id have gone elsewhere. This stuff is legit. Be prepared to wait and just enjoy the experience. I will forever be a repeat customer after just 1 experience here.
This is probably the best “hole in the wall” type of place that I’ve ever been. You will probably wait a while for your food, but it is so worth it. I ordered the pasta with the meatballs and the chicken curry and my goodness. Food was so DELICIOUS. I believe he has a seasonal menu, so food might be updated every now and then. Credits to the chef, this is a one man shop and he does it all, quite literally.It is a VERY tiny place, so you won’t be able to dine in, but this place is a must if you are in The Point. Give it a try and you will not regret it.P.s.: didn’t take pictures of the place/food because I was so hungry and I devoured my meal.
Great little place in Algiers Point. Pete always makes great food. Stop by and check it out, the prime rib is amazing.
This was my first time eating here and I am impressed. The chicken curry was delicious and the portions are generous. I will be back :)
Always check his schedule before dropping by. Menu is always changing as well. Queues take forever… and it is all damn worth it. I went twice in a week… will return next week because I NEED to try everything I can. Food is absolutely amazing. If he ever has tapas on the menu, its a MUST. His curries are also terrific. Don’t get me started with dessert. Key lime pie was out of this world.
