My hubby and I have been coming here for several years. It is absolutely one of the finest restaurants we have ever eaten at (and we have traveled and eaten all over the world.) Charming atmosphere, fabulous staff who are knowledgeable, fun, engaging and attentive. The food is phenomenal - delicious and inventive, always fresh. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is! Don’t miss it when in New Orleans!

Our server Swetha was the best! She explained the menu and when we ordered a dish we weren’t sure we could eat, she held off putting the order in so we wouldn’t waste the food. Pure professional and an extremely kind person. The manager was very responsive to emails also. Food was hot and fresh. I highly recommend

Saffron is always fantastic. Last night, the roasted oysters w/ parmesan and curry leaf, Bombay (fried) shrimp w/ tomato-ginger remoulade, and the Breads and Spreads (chicken pickle, eggplant dip and naan) started things off. Entree was the Nariyal Fish (grilled redfish served on a bed of curd rice over a green coconut korma - so perfectly cooked and a just right balance of flavors. Mr. and Mrs. Vilkhu and their staff go above and beyond to create a truly unique mixture of Creole and Indian food that you won't find anywhere else. Absolutely recommended.

Delightful breakfasts every morning. Good sausage, real eggs, good potato dish. Also loved smoked salmom bagels. The evening schedule is somewhat random so we missed a chance to dine and try that menu.
