Stella Maris NOLA | Our Story
More than a meal in Arabi
Stella Maris on Judge Perez Drive in Arabi brings bold Middle Eastern flavors, warm hospitality, and a neighborhood grocery under one roof.
A table of Middle Eastern favorites
From spinach rolls and hummus to kebabs, rice bowls, and fresh seafood — the menu spans the full range of Middle Eastern cooking. Save room for baklava or lotus cheesecake.
Restaurant meets grocery
A full sit-down dining room on one side, imported pantry staples and fresh halal meat on the other — guests routinely cross from their table to the market before heading home.
The welcome that brings people back
Guests describe the staff by name, highlight thoughtful recommendations, and call Stella Maris a hidden local gem worth protecting. That kind of care — a complimentary pita, a check-in mid-meal, help navigating the grocery aisles — is baked into how this place operates every day.
A place rooted in community
Whether you're a regular stopping in for a gyro plate and mint limeade or a first-timer drawn in by a friend's recommendation, Stella Maris treats every visit like it matters. The food is the reason you come; the people are the reason you keep coming back.
