Why do people in Baton Rouge confuse Greek and Arabic food?

It's not just Baton Rouge. It's the same way in Lafayette. I have a feeling it's the same anywhere that doesn't have a significant Greek population. It's not like the average American has traveled through either region. Very few restaurants claim to be either Greek or Lebanese; almost all claim to be both. The average person is going to interpret that to mean that the two are roughly equivalent. At the end of the day, when was the last time you saw someone claiming to be a "Russian and Mexican" restaurant

You’re better than that. C’mon bro...

I didn’t realize how much I loved Greek and Lebanese food until I moved out of Baton Rouge to Alabama. I crave it now and stop for everytime i passs through. It’s non existent down here.

Is Serop's regular better than Serop's Express? i've only had express and you have to choke the chicken down with a drink it's so dry

Yeah it's better. I prefer Albasha but it's comparable. Serop's Express sucks

It's been years since I've been but the Corporate location used to be far better than the express ones.

I agree with Carson about Serop's Express. The meat is dry, the hummus is lumpy, the salad is bad and the pita is dry and brittle. Not a fan.

I think this is mainly a Louisiana thing for some reason. I seek out Middle eastern food when I travel and never see it referred to as Greek. Do a search for Greek Lebanese restaurants and nearly every result on the first few pages is for places in Louisiana.

I am pretty sure zoroonas closed a few months ago.
