Jamila's Cafe Restaurant Review: Proprietors Moncef and Jamila Sbaa are a constant presence in the dining room, making sure every guest is well looked after. Meanwhile, the kitchen turns out the restaurant’s specialty, couscous with lamb, chicken or the combination royale, as well as more esoteric dishes, such as chorba (a whole-wheat fish soup with lemons and capers), brik au thon (phyllo stuffed with tuna, potatoes and onions) and grilled merguez. Appetizers include escargots (heavy on the garlic butter) and mussels in onion broth. For dessert, try the dark chocolate mousse. The wine list is surprisingly extensive and complex for a place of this size. Jamila's exudes its own quiet charm, offering New Orleanians a glimpse into North African comfort food. |
