The results of my BR ethnic-food discovery project. What have I missed?

For the last 5 months or so I've been on a mission to discover and write about all the different ethnic foods you can get in Baton Rouge.
Here is my list so far:
African: BB & PF
Chinese (Cantonese): Dim Sum
Central American/Honduran: La Reyna
Italian: Anthony's Deli
Indian: Bay Leaf
Indian 2: Curry N Kabab
European/German: Pinetta's
Hawaiian: The Cove
Mexican: La Tiendita
Vietnamese: Saigon Noodles
You can learn more about these restaurants on my blog Adventure Eats Louisiana https://www.adventureeatsla.com/, or I can post more here if there is interest.
My main objective is to give Baton Rouge ethnic food enthusiasts a resource to find restaurants, and to build excitement around ethnic foods. If all the ethnic-food lovers can consolidate, hopefully we can support a better diversity of restaurants in Baton Rouge.
Does anyone know of any good ethnic food places/experiences that are not on my list? American ethnic (soul food, etc.) counts as well.

How is this "ethnic" food and not just "food?"

Omi on Essen
La Morenita on Florida
Little Saigon > Saigon noodles and right across the street.
Sad that Ronnie Ribs is not still around

Link should be fixed now, thanks for pointing that out.
Great suggestion with Rama, Thai is definitely next on my list, but I'm torn between Rama and Thai Chili on Coursey.
An Asian contact says that Thai Chili is the "most authentic," and I try to get my recommendations from immigrants when possible. But a lot of people would like to see Rama on the list, so I don't know. Maybe I'll do both.
@Rohan2Reed, these are considered ethnic restaurants because they (mostly) owned/operated by people from foreign countries and serve foreign foods.

You are missing tons of good restaurants (particularly in Chinese, Mexican, Indian and Vietnamese), and much of your list doesn't fit your foreign owned/operated criteria.
Thai Pepper is miles better than both.

You missed Mediterranean/Lebanese and Greek.
Check out Albasha and Zorba's. Roman's is pretty good too.
