I was thrilled to see Pani Puri on the menu because I had been wanting to try it after seeing it all over my TikTok, and it was absolutely delicious. Very airy, light and flavorful. The two sauces that came with it were both tasty, with the minty one being my favorite. The samosas were a perfect size for two. The chili chicken had a nice level of spice-not too hot, but full of flavor. We also ordered the garlic naan and butter chicken but forgot to take a picture of it. The naan had a lovely garlic flavor, was the right size and a nice crispy texture. The butter chicken was creamy and tender. I would definitely go back.

He wasn't very attentive to us when ordering and asking questions about the menu. Food was delicious and that made up for the mediocre service.

There are restaurants that serve Indian food, and then there are restaurants that honor it. LuFu…read moreNola is firmly in the latter category. As someone of Indian heritage who has eaten at Indian restaurants across the country and abroad, I do not offer five stars lightly. The Tandoori Chicken Tikka is the best I have ever had -- anywhere, full stop. The char is perfect, the marinade deeply fragrant, and the chicken impossibly tender. This dish alone is worth crossing the city for. The Chicken Biryani was layered and fragrant, with each component perfectly spiced yet cohesive. The Malai Gosht was rich and silky -- a quietly elegant dish that lingers on the palate. The Palak Paneer was vibrant and fresh, nothing like the heavy renditions found elsewhere. The Bullet Naan -- marketed as "eat at your own risk" -- delivered on its promise. Bold, building heat that commanded attention, but never reckless. Paired with a curry, it was outstanding. The Falooda dessert was a perfect finish: cooling, fragrant, and beautifully presented. The wine list was surprisingly decent for an Indian Restaurant. We enjoyed the Brunello! And the service -- led by Manager Aman -- was over the top in the best possible way. Warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in every guest's experience. The hospitality matched the kitchen's excellence at every turn. LuFu Nola is a must-visit. Easily the best Indian food in New Orleans.

How am I just finding out about this place? I went here on a weekday night and the first thing I…read morenoticed was the beautiful art on the walls. They also have some really unique chairs. This place is so cute. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was friendly and attentive. We tried a little bit of everything and man it was sooo good. We got the lamb stuffed naan. Which was addictive. You can't eat just one. We also got veggie samosas. They were pretty big and very tasty. That came with 2 unique and delicious sauces. We got the lamb byriani. The lamb was so tender and the dish was really flavorful. We also got the tandoori platter. That was also delicious. It gave us the chance to try bunch of direct proteins with tandoori sauce. We also got the chutney which I highly recommend. I had a mango lassi to drink. It was sweet and thick. It was really good. I'll be back sooo soon.

The portions were generous, and we even had plenty of leftovers for the next day. We would highly recommend giving Namaste a try!

Decided to stop here for a vegetarian Indian meal with another while visiting Nola…read more Between the two of us we ordered quite an array of appetizers and entrees. The paneer pakora was tasty and an excellent way to start the meal along with the gobi manchurian. The little dipping sauce and lime really brought the flavors together. The paneer masala was also delicious. We decided to be a bit adventurous and ordered the menthi malai mutter, which turned out to be an interesting but also tasty choice of fenugreek koftas over sauce. What I didn't enjoy, however was the mango lassi. Theirs had a very heavy spice flavor... perhaps too much cardamom. Overall a very tasty place with a lot of meat and vegetarian options.

The service was great and they are very open to explaining the menu to you. This time I got the chicken tikka masala with the garlic chili naan. The chicken tikka I ordered medium and had just a hint of spice and when I dipped the naan in it was awesome. (And added just the right amounnt of a kick) My only suggestion would be for them to bring in some wines or wine type beverages from India.
