We liked this place so much that we came two nights in a row! We were traveling for three weeks and were seriously craving good Indian food, and this completely hit the spot. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic. Spice levels were perfectly balanced, and every dish tasted incredibly fresh. Special shoutout to the malabar fish curry and chole bhature - chef’s kiss. We tried their specialty cocktails and they were exceptional. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a warm, stylish ambiance that makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Overall, if you’re visiting New Orleans, this is an absolute must-visit.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

It's been awhile since I've experienced such good food and amazing service at a restaurant! The vibe, the service, and the food was top tier! We ordered Pani Poori, Shrimp Tandoori, Jackfruit Biryani, Garlic Naan, and Ankara Chicken. The food tasted fresh and super flavorful. We absolutely loved everything we ordered. The Shrimp Tandoori was on another level! We can't wait to go back!

A must-visit spot if you're in NOLA! Authentic Indian food made with recipes that originate from the birthplaces of these dishes. Century-old recipes come to vibrant life here and tingle your taste buds with just the right amount of spice, exploding with the kind of flavor you didn't know you were craving! The staff is very welcoming, want and quick to cater to your needs. The owner, Aman, was the star of our evening! He customized my mango lassi Pina colada with green Chile water and made my evening! The new Mexican in me was revived in NOLA 😅🤤! We ordered kadai paneer and bullet naan, both of which were super delicious in terms of flavor, freshness, and satiety! The peri peri cauliflower was also a dynamite hit! If you have the appetite, don't miss out on pani puri and biryani! Both Chicken biryani (I recommended it to a foreign tourist sitting next to me, and he absolutely loved it) or jackfruit biryani are a must-try!!! If you're looking for Indian food, a healthier option, or a break from the fried beignets or the abundance of sweet treats available on the street, you must go here! It'll not only be a feast for your stomach but also for your eyes, nose, and tongue!
