"It was actually quite literally the best food I've eaten. I didn't care how long it took to get here it could've been 5 minutes or 2 hours I'm stupidly satisfied with the "bigger plate" especially for only $12.65 plus tip. It was absolutely beautiful. 30 minutes later I'm still not even half way done. Too good to eat so soon !! I promise y'all missing out on this. "
"The quality of food here has been consistent every time I have ordered, very flavorful, and most of the time very fresh. Pretty good portion sizes on the products, too. The Barq's Root Beer "large drink" is actually a large drink (around 40 oz cup), in comparison to other places where their large drinks are closer to around 20oz size cups. That said, I do plan on ordering again, because they consistently deliver quality product for the price. One complaint I have though, is the individual item boxes that are used. For example, if you order a Bigger Plate, the 3rd protein will be in one of those small boxes. Those small boxes will leak whatever marinade is on your proteins into the shipping bag, usually causing a mess, often getting sticky as well, and it can cause a contamination issue, so there needs to be something in place to prevent that like adding a liner seal to the design or changing to a different style of container."

Rave Reviews
"They always impress and consistently offer high quality! The staff is amazing and the generosity for loyalty is more than a blessing! Thank you for the amazing quality and portion sizes! You all are absolutely the reason I keep coming back! The blueberry basque is absolutely amazing and the sweet chantilly treat was an unexpected surprise that is so delicious!"
"🌟 Five Stars – A Hidden Gem in Slidell! 🌟 Tea Plus is hands down one of the BEST foodie spots I’ve experienced in a long time! From the first bite to the last sip, everything was absolute perfection. The popcorn chicken with fries was next-level – juicy, tender, and packed with bold, savory flavor that kept me reaching for more. Each piece had that perfect crunch on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth goodness inside. Then came the avocado smoothie, and WOW. It was like sipping on a whipped cream cloud – velvety, creamy, and just the right touch of sweetness. Honestly, it felt like a dessert and a dream all in one glass. And speaking of dessert, the cheesecake was a light, airy slice of heaven. It wasn’t heavy or overly sweet – just the perfect finish to an unforgettable meal. Tea Plus isn’t just a tea shop – it’s an experience. The flavors, the freshness, the care in every bite and sip… they’ve truly mastered the art of comfort food with a gourmet twist. Slidell has a winner here, and I’ll definitely be back for more! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend!"

"When we lived in Maryland my wife and I would go to an Indian food place, and we thought it was good. Then, we moved to Covington, Louisiana and we would go across Lake Pontchartrain to Metairie for Indian food, and we thought that was great. Today (8/2/26) we went to Mantra Indian Cuisine in Mandeville, LA and the food WAS DELICIOUS!!! This place is by far the best Indian food I have ever eaten. My wife ordered the Chicken Biryani, and she thought it was the best dish ever. I ordered the Lamb Saag, which came with Basmati Rice, and we ordered the Garlic Naan. And Oh My God (this was not an OMG moment), it was an "OH MY GOD" meal. The Best Ever!!!!!!!!! And, let us not forget our server, Victor "Vic" who made our experience even better. He is truly one of the Best servers around. Please, if you're looking for a new place to try, go to Mantra Indian Cuisine in Mandeville, Louisiana. You will not regret it."

"Viet Kitchen always has delicious food. Moving to the northshore years ago meant giving up my favorite Vietnamese restaurant on the southshore.

"Ricky was awesome, he truly cares and goes extra miles , above and beyond ....so grateful , thank you ! .. Now .. the food is always tasty. If Popeyes would do a regular wing without that red pepper / ghost pepper coating on them all - would be great .. esp for KIDS ! We love spicy but omg . The wings are now super **small as well fyi - it matters esp if feeding a group - size is way less than half the size of when they first sold them ... i'd say 1/3 ( and have been much smaller for a while ) . It was excellent food , of course . Always delicious . . Thanks so much "

The steak was ordered rare and I'm happy they honored my wishes because usually when I order rare, they give me medium rare or just medium. The potato soup is one of the best potato soups I've ever had in my life and I wish I had ordered a bigger portion!!! Over all, this is adequately worth ordering and you should try it!"
"The Outbacker Burger* was inedible. 3 different people tried to eat it & couldnt stomach it. Usually the burgers are better but something is different.
