Our server Orion provided excellent service. He was so helpful, smiley, and patient. The food was absolutely amazing! As a desi myself, I was very impressed with some new south Indian flavors. The medium was pretty spicey even for me as a Southeast Asian so that's something to keep in mind if you're feeling ambitious. I highly recommend!!! We ordered fried mutton, dum ka chicken, and diri-something biryani. And the mocktail were so fun! All their meat is halal! Read less

We visited this place during our trip to New Orleans. The server was very friendly and helpful. There was a wide selection of alcohol, and I opted for a vegetarian dish that wasn’t spicy, but it was surprisingly spicy. So, if you’re not a fan of spicy food, this might not be the best choice for you. The restaurant was oddly located, with another entrance to the subway and the restrooms located at the hotel next door. The smell inside the restaurant was quite strong, so if you’re not planning to wash your clothes and hair immediately after, I wouldn’t recommend going there. Considering that I didn’t even drink alcohol, the prices were a bit higher than I expected. Read less

Good Ambiance, Decent Food, but Some Misses Namaste NOLA has a welcoming atmosphere with beautiful indoor plants and thoughtfully curated decor that makes for a cozy dining experience. The service was okay—not the most attentive, but nothing to complain about. For appetizers, we tried the Chicken 65 and Gobi Manchurian. The Chicken 65 had a nice crispy texture but lacked the bold punch of flavor I was expecting. The Gobi Manchurian, on the other hand, was overly wet and didn’t taste as fresh as I’d hoped. For the main course, we ordered the Butter Chicken, which had a flavorful curry but was overwhelmingly salty, making it difficult to fully enjoy. One thing I always look forward to is Limca, and while it was great to see it on the menu, paying $4 for a small can felt a bit excessive. Overall, Namaste NOLA has a nice vibe, and I’d still recommend it if you’re in the area, but I’d manage expectations on consistency in food quality. A solid 4 stars. Read less

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Namaste Nola, and it was an experience worth raving about! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic meal. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest feels welcomed. The staff’s knowledge of the menu added a personal touch that made the evening even more enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was bursting with flavor, showcasing the rich spices and authenticity of Indian cuisine. The highlight of my meal was the chicken tikka masala paired with their butter naan. The chicken tikka masala was a masterpiece—tender, succulent pieces of chicken bathed in a creamy, perfectly spiced tomato sauce that hit all the right notes of bold and comforting. The butter naan was the ideal companion, soft and fluffy with just the right amount of buttery richness, making it impossible not to tear off piece after piece to scoop up that delicious masala. It’s easily one of the best renditions of this classic dish I’ve ever had. Overall, Namaste Nola is a gem in New Orleans. The combination of outstanding food, top-notch service, and a cozy vibe makes it a must-visit for anyone craving Indian cuisine—or just a great meal in general. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! I would also like to mention that this was the best dish I had in New Orleans since touching down Read less

Nice spot for Indian food in New Orleans! The cheese naan and garlic naan were fresh and tasty. The tandoori chicken had a good flavor profile. It was nicely seasoned and cooked well. The lamb shank could’ve used a little more time to become fully tender, and some dishes were a bit on the salty side, but overall still enjoyable. Service was fine, and we didn’t have to wait long for our meal, which was a plus. A good option if you’re looking for a flavorful meal with prompt service. Read less
