Sounds of the Middle East and the Mediterranean set the tone at Mona’s, a locally-owned chain of like fare. The cafés have quite a following in the Big Easy with a reputation of being a cheap means to filling up on tasty gyros, baba ghanoush and falafel. For under 20 bucks, two can dine on sandwiches as well as appetizers and desserts. At $1.99 per serving, the pastries are a must try, especially the buttery baklava and honeyed nammura. The atmosphere is low key, the service is swift and the vittles are inexpensive and scrumptious. What more can you ask?
