Delicious! Nice, clean restaurant, good service, and most importantly, great food! Came here for lunch and had a freshly-cooked, well thought-out dish at a surprisingly reasonable price. I was just in the area for a meeting so I stopped in, but I'd make a special trip to eat here again.

I found a jewel oneday. I ventured out in the rain, didn't want to go too far, and without crossing the bridge I found "The Kitchen". Located in a strip mall situation at 4801 General Meyers in Algiers, the place is really nice in a neighborhood kind of way. I loved the jazz music in the background and the art motif, yeah, for real. They only do lunch now, but after hours, with the tables candles lit, I could see a Friday and Saturday Night date place. This is New Orleans Creole with a flair. I had one of the chef's specials which was as down home as having a crawfish and sausage sauce, but the sauce was as fine and light as a French bistro. The blackened chicken breast was tender, grill carterized for flavor, and strategically precut so only a fork was necessary, and the pasta perfect. The rest of the menu is both traditional new orleans and entres that demonstrate the chef's complex background. I am so glad I found this place, very affordable, very pleasant and five or six minutes away... tops! Soul food is almost always a delight and this food lives up to that supposition. there's a great take out business but a shame that eat in seems to be wanting. I know most eastbankers won't make the trip to learn what Algerian's have in this secret hideaway, but it's our loss. Chef is extremely gentle and hospitable plus talented as expressed by his dishes. Read somef the other reviews to verify my thoughts. Parking in large lot in front.

My three friends and I stumbled upon this place by accident, as his GPS went haywire and kept trying to make us board a ferry for every restaurant we clicked on. That GPS gave us a gift. We all four got different dishes and all came away agreeing it was the best meal any of us had eaten in a long time. Perhaps the only thing more shocking that the quality of the food was the price. Even with two people getting deserts, our individual bills all totaled less than $20. The Kitchen is now a must visit for all of us any time we visit New Orleans.

I'm so ashamed that we never tried this place before. It's one of the few places where you really can use the term "Off the beaten Path". It is a true hole in the wall with a dining room not much larger than my living room. Located in the same stip-mall as the Honey Whipped Donut place that I reviewed before (goood donuts, btw). Ambiance-wise, it's like most small little places started on a shoe-string budget but with a lot of heart. And it looked clean to us. I got a peek into the kitchen which looked efficient and tidy. Our waitress (pronounced Neesha, no idea how it's spelled) was adorable and knew the menu and all the chef's specials off the top of her head and could answer questions about them. I hope no one scoops her up for a different restaurant. Her sweetness and eye for detail really fit this restaurant. On Wednesdays, they do liver and mash. Pretty much liver and onions with smashed potatoes. There are not whipped potatoes. These have chunks in them, just the way I prefer. I don't want to be able to eat my potatoes through a straw unless they are the French whipped potatoes that are half (mostly) butter. Since the last liver I had was at the Wabbit, and it was terrible, I was really happy with the portion size and the quality of the liver. It was THIS close to being too salty at first taste but once you shew and everything mingles, I realized it was just perfect. It was creamy inside with great texture on the outside. The gravy was actually perfection on the potatoes. The Girly got the sliders. It's pretty much a 6 inch poboy bun cut in halves. One side is spicy sausage and the other side is fried oysters. Both sides were great. They came with fries and the Girly was really happy with both presentation and flavor. I stole a bite of her Sausage one and I may have to get that for lunch soon. So both of us got great meals with perfect portion size (like when it arrives you think it's too small but when you finish you can't really eat any more without feeling bloated). Both meals were 16 bucks....together. I'm serious. DON'T YOU CALL ME A LIAR! P.S. Please ignore the menu listed on Yelp and other sites. SOMEONE planted a disgusting fake menu and Yelp has yet to take it down. It is out of the way in an area that most EastBankers don't go around but for a good meal, why not venture to the BestBank and give it a try? They do close early. That's the only bad part. But I'm old and eating dinner after 7:30 it not for me. Gimme that Sr citizen's meal any day. I would recommend this place for people who like comfort foods and friendly service without breaking the bank. And many of the specials are quite upper-class. Or at least upper-class people said they were. How would I know?

Horrible....restaurant cooks everything in the microwave. If you sit near the kitchen door you can hear the ding of the microwave and your food will be out shortly after. We really wanted to like this place, but couldn't get over the excessive use of the microwave. Avoid this place unless you like your food cooked in a microwave.

The best food on the westbank! This restaurant will shock you! Presentation is beautiful and the taste is as if it was a five star restaurant. The service is friendly and warm. I will bring all of my out of town guests here to experience the great flavor of New Orleans!
