SOUTH HIGHLANDS MEDITERRANEAN CAFE

Being a resident of the historic South Highlands neighborhood, when I heard the 5000 block of Line Avenue was getting an upgrade with a new-to-Shreveport restaurant, I got excited. When I finally made my way through the front doors, I couldn’t wait to try everything on the huge menu.

Where:

Tazikis South Highlands Mediterranean Café

What:

I tried the grilled chicken breast Taziki’s Feast. Marinated in homemade dressing, the grilled chicken is superb. I chose roasted new potatoes as my side dish, which were crisp and flavorful. The asparagus are enormous and delicious.

Next Time:

Grilled beef tenderloin gyro with basmati rice.

Popular:

While dining, I saw a variety of entrees passing by to surrounding tables.

The menu item I kept hearing people talk about? The chocolate chip cookie. I tried a cookie and immediately needed a big glass of whole milk.

Vibe:

There’s a fresh, fun atmosphere inside that’s perfect for a family dinner or a casual date. Even with the warm summer weather, the patio outside was also a popular dining spot.

Cost:

$9.79. Most menu items are under $10.

Notes:

This is a great, fast, casual dining experience in the heart of Shreveport, which offers a great variety of Mediterranean food with entree specials every day of the week.

There’s also a nice selection of beer and wine to enjoy with your meal. Cheers to that!
