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 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!

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!

I and my friends visited during a conference food, ambience and service was amazing.Out of 5 days in New Orleans I visited thrice to lufu. Masala dosa is one of the best dosa I had in US. Chef also provided complimentary gulab jamun because we were waiting for dosa a bit. Shrimp Koliwada is a must try ! Overall loved the experience.

We were struggling for vegetarian food in NOLA. This was a godsend for us. We had dinner twice and lunch once here. Food tastes very authentically Indian – we loved everything that we ordered, nothing felt bland – it was perfection and something I needed as an Indian on a long overseas trip. Atmosphere and ambience are great with some lovely modern Indian inspired art. Service was excellent and attentive with food arriving shortly after ordering. Would highly recommend.

We finally got a chance to try LUFU NOLA Restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice bright, colorful and fun. The food that we had was very good, with lots of flavors and a nice presentation. Our server was very friendly and helpful with food selections. We were very pleased and will return.

Dined here in early May, 2025. A super modern and cute place!! Fantastic food! The restaurant smelled amazing! Everything was delicious!!
If you asked for very spicy, it’s truly very spicy (coming from a gal who loves spicy food). I forgot to take a picture of the butter chicken, probably because I was so distracted by how spicy it was!
PS. A colleague from Cali said that this was probably the best Indian food she had ever had in the US.

Tandoori chicken- served on a piece of granite. Not too spicy. Very tender
Angara chicken- delicious flavor. Asked for mild but was spicy
Garlic naan- garlic wasn’t too much. Felt similar to a cheese bread
Bhatura Puff bread- light and delicious! Disappointed it arrived deflated
Make a reservation on the weekend
