“When in New Orleans… if you’re in the mood for Indian food. This place was so close to our VRBO. The food was EXCELLENT. The service was grand. It was just the right fit after a long day of exploring the city. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Gopi is always so professional and cheerful. Today I traded some curry leaves grown in my garden for lunch. He recommended the dal tadka and that’s just what I wanted. It was so tasty and flavorful and served steaming hot with a freshly buttered roti (whole wheat) and some lovely rice. The place is quite beautiful. I’ll be back!”
“Visited this Indian restaurant in downtown New Orleans during Christmas week, and even though it was super busy, the service and food were outstanding. We tried reserving through Google but it didn’t go through, so we walked in—and Rani at the front was amazing. She originally quoted ~40 minutes, but once she understood our situation (we were nearby and only a party of four), she kindly arranged a table for us within 5 minutes. Huge thumbs up to Rani for the hospitality! We tried the special drink (toddy water) which wasn’t what we expected, but it tasted really good—just wish the portion was bigger. For food, everything was top-notch: Chicken Majestic was flavorful (slightly oily, but delicious), the special Champaran Mutton with spicy garlic naan was fantastic, and both the Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani and mutton biryani were absolutely on point. Portions were generous—we were so full we couldn’t even try dessert. Highly recommend this place.”
“Visited Namaste Nola in New Orleans with friends and had a great experience overall. We started with Mirapakaya Bhajji, which was nicely spiced and crispy, followed by Chicken Majestic—flavorful, tender, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The Gobi Manchurian had a good balance of crunch and sauce, and the Vegetable Fried Rice paired well with everything. The cocktails really stood out—Nawabi’s Manhattan, Falsa G&T, Toofan, and LIT were all well-crafted and added a fun twist to the evening. The ambiance felt lively yet comfortable, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in New Orleans and craving Indian flavors with creative drinks.”
“These guys serve authentic food from Southern India, spicy and very flavourful. Champaran mutton not to be missed!! Excellent Naan breads. Gulab jamun dessert made in house was a great finish to our family meal.”
