LUFU NOLA

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.

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 Chic

INCREDIBLE. The drinks are amazing. The mango mojito was basically an alcoholic mango lassi that dangerously does not taste alcoholic. The special old fashioned (cannot remember the name) is the first old fashioned that I actually liked. It was smooth and flavorful and did not have a bite! The jackfruit biryani was full of flavor and well rounded. The tandoori chicken tikki was good, but didn’t wow me. But the garlic naan was one of the best I have ever had. It was light, crispy, and aromatic. We had the mango ice cream pop and it was a great sweet finish to the end of the meal. I will be dreaming about this place!

We dropped in just 10 minutes before closing, and Mr. Tarun still welcomed us with so much warmth. He was incredibly kind and made sure all my veg cravings were taken care of. This place truly feels like a home away from home — we’re here almost every other day thanks to Aman’s amazing hospitality. One small request: please add more veg options to the menu! The team often goes off-menu to make special dishes for us, and we appreciate it so much. Highly recommend!
