About

Cleo's is a casual Mediterranean spot combining a grocery/convenience store with a kitchen, serving Middle Eastern staples like falafel, hummus, and moussaka alongside meat dishes. It is known for being open late to very late, including 24/7 takeout, making it a popular choice for late-night meals in New Orleans' French Quarter. The atmosphere is unpretentious, with limited seating mostly for pickup drivers and a store-like setting, but the food quality and seasoning receive consistent praise, especially the falafel and fresh pita.
