Shell Food Mart on Perkins....very good gyro & shawarma combo plate, and they also have those awesome Natchitoches meat pies.

Village Grocery & Deli on Perkins...very good shrimp fried rice & fried chicken.

Pimanyoli's on Airline Hwy

Oriental Pearl corner of Sherwood & Coursey...delicious Chinese buffet. not as many selections as Hunan, but what they have is much better than Hunan.

Coffee Bean on Coursey

Shell Station on Airline close to Industriplex...best bbq chicken in BR in my opinion.

food mart is next door to where ambrosia used to be, and village grocery is next door to city cafe.

ETA, i think the food mart has a few tables to eat at inside, but the village is carry-out.

I got the shwarma poboy from there once. It was OK, but i didn't think it was all that great. If I return, I'll just get the plate.

The Meat is not bad. But their sides are not good. Like I said before, Avoid the fake Mashed Potatoes & Gravy. Their bbq beans need more development as well!

Its A Shame Too! They lose big points for having crappy side items!

Is the buffet at Ronnie's Ribs any good? I live in Shenandoah, but I've never been there.
