New Cajun Restaurant Opening In Center Point

CENTER POINT, AL - A new restaurant is coming to Center Point, and it is bringing the Big Easy with it. Cajun Bistro, which recently had a soft opening, plans a grand opening in the next few weeks, bringing a taste of New Orleans to the Birmingham area.

A report by the Trussville Tribune said Cajun Bistro was started by three friends: Omar Rasoul, Micheal Duncan Jr. and Anthony Redeaux. They have made it their mission to bring the taste of New Orleans to Center Point and the surrounding areas.

“We have not had our grand opening yet,” Rasoul told the Trussville Tribune. “We’ve been working under our soft opening, just to work the kinks out; but now that our sign is here, we’re going to get that installed this week and then we plan on having our grand opening, hopefully, two weeks from today.”

The Cajun Bistro is going to have a menu that will include shrimp po’boys, catfish po’boys, smoked andouille, shrimp and grits, NOLA chicken and waffles, red beans and rice and crab legs - which has thus far been the most popular item.

Cajun Bistro is located at 1679 Center Point Parkway Suite 11, in the Food Giant shopping center. They will be open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
