Today’s choice was La Shish, a Greek and Lebanese restaurant located in Denham Springs. I have seen this place many times while driving by it on the way to work and always wanted to give it a try. Today was that day.

I ordered the usual Combination Plate, featuring rice, salad, hummus, pita bread, Chicken and Gyros. I started off my meal by tasting the gyros. It was pretty good, not too dry or greasy. I found that it could have a little more punch in the flavor, but definitely not the worst I've had.

The chicken here was excellent. It was tender and really went well with rice and hummus. Speaking of hummus, La Shish truly has some of the best hummus in the area. It’s rich and creamy, but doesn't have as strong a taste as many others feature. The balance of chick peas and other seasoning agents really work well together

Now last and certainly least was the salad with cucumber dressing. The lettuce was old and soggy. The cucumber dressing has a very strong and acidic taste that really didn't compliment the feta cheese too well.

Service
When I visited La Shish, I found the service to be very slow, especially being that there were a total of 3 people in the entire restaurant. The waitress was friendly, but would forget to bring out things you previously asked for and took a  while to get my food out and any other things I asked for.

Atmosphere
La Shish has a nice atmosphere featuring columns and hand painted artwork that covers the walls. Its clean and has an open floor for seating. Throw in the rhythmic Greek music (Not quite sure what they are saying) and you have very nice and comfortable surroundings.
