Plume feels like sitting down for dinner at a friend's place and being served one of the best meals of your life!! Doesn't matter what you order, it will be tasty! I have tried half the menu over the past year and have Never been disappointed!! Banana chaat, butter chicken, pork axone, Rista (lamb meatballs in saffron sauce), khaati rolls, garlic chili cheese naan (sans spicy chilis for me- those tiny things pack some BIG heat!!) and cool down with homemade mango soda or a unique cocktail. Cross the dayum bridge!! Take some time to look at the amazing murals on the walls and say hi to the owners. read more

What an amazing evening...an absolute wonderful meal. Not what I expected to find on NOLA Find your way here if you're in town. The food here does not hold a candle to what I can find in Los Angeles The service was top notch but the owners are very special too read more

Plume has been on my to do list for a long while. I finally went on Christmas day, and I was immediately angry. With myself. For not crossing the damn bridge a long time ago. This suddenly, and unexpectedly became my Christmas day tradition, the moment the Raj was put on the table. Holy Christmas tradition Batman! Presentation, unreal. Flavor, unbelievable. Repeat order-ability level 10. We dined lite, because we were at a Christmas gathering earlier in the day. We ordered a chicken wrap to go (to give to the unhoused in Jackson Square) and a few other things. Everything we ordered was freaking textbook awesome. A friend of ours was supposed to join us, but she missed it. She was so sick of hearing how good it was, and how much we loved it, that we went again just a few days later. We ordered a lot off the menu on this visit, but that Raj.... oh my. The service was really perfect. We ordered the wraps again, and because there were three of us this time, they offered to cut them in thirds. Such a nice touch, that we hadn't even considered when ordering. After being twice in a short period, this will be our annual christmas tradition, and, we expect to go many more times in between. I'm still dreaming of that delightful food. I also cannot believe I forgot to take more photos. I promise to update soon. read more

Plume Algiers - Raj baby Raj. Get it, don't even think about skipping it. - Indian Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I'm so glad to see they are doing well. Went there 3 times in 2019-2020 era. I found their flavor profile to be singular and distinguished. I am pleased to see they are still up to their old tricks; not to mention, their food still looks excellent. I am happy for their continued success. What a gift to the area. read more

We went last year and tried this restaurant and we have been wanting to go again. It was as good this year as it was last year. We started with 2 delicious gin cocktails with basil that were delicious. We then had Banana Chaat with pomegranate seeds. It was delicious. We ordered Naan Bread which was a little salty but still delicious. We ordered the pork axone which was crispy smoked pork belly, fermented soybean, green chili, lime. We also ordered the Chingri Malai Curry which was shrimp in a turmeric and Coconut milk gravy, ghee, toasted red chilies. Both were so tasty. We can not wait to go back. read more

Normally would not go to an establishment that isn't cooked by a native but surprisingly they did a great job. The banana chaat was delicious and perfect sweet and savory. The beef nahari was not my thing at all, beef was sort of tender but the sauce was too much cardamom or whatever taste like anise. the shrimp malai curry was good. Neither came with rice so added that. Shrimp fried rice for kids was just rice and some shrimp and no flavor. The naan garlic cheese naan was nice and the appam went well with shrimp but wouldn't do that again as it's just not my flavor. The tamarind soda was fantastic and brought me back to Guatemala. Hard to judge the place as the menu changes a lot so even if not the best experience it could change. It was also hot and stuffy inside towards back. read more

My goodness! Never been to India but the Nola native has brought India to the masses. His cuisine exudes high intelligence: knowledge of flavor and texture using common US ingredients. You, like in Ratatouille, are transported to the street stall of Mumbai, and eating like a local, are allowed to experience the warmth and hospitality of the Region in every bite taken on the Algiers side of the River. Memorable. read more

Not sure why I don't already have a review on this place. This place is a gem. A must try if you haven't before. One of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans. Delicious food that always comes out fresh and hot. Every dish I've ever had here has always been mind blowingly good. Different from any other Indian dishes I've had elsewhere. Service is always friendly and the space is bright and inviting. read more

We enjoyed dinner again at Plume this evening. Our favorites are the Beet Chop appetizer, Beef Nihari shared main, naan and rice. We had glasses of Canopus Semillon and Bianca Vigna Prosecco. House-made pistachio ice cream for dessert. Everything was excellent as well as timing/service. What a gem for our West Bank neighborhood! read more

I had brunch with a party of 6 here, and with advance notice, they were able to accommodate. Everything was delicious and this is what we had: * mango sodas, hot chai, tuktuk cocktail * banana chaat and fried bread stuffed with paneer * fried chicken (not pictured) and butter chicken * pork belly * shrimp * eggplant Perfectly balanced seasoning, delectable sauces, moist proteins, and relaxed atmosphere. Cross the damn bridge! read more

Excellent Indian food, at the intersection of gourmet and hole-in-the wall. The menu and wine list are short, photocopied together double-sided on 8 1/2" by 11" paper so it can and does change frequently. If there is AC, you might not notice, but that is OK because the food will have your attention. The service is friendly and attentive. Our waitress recognized us even though we are only in town a few times a year. The wine list is short, but varies from the usual offerings, so trust the staff's recommendations. Bottom line: cross the Mississippi and experience something special. read more

The service, atmosphere and food were wonderful. We brought my Mom here for an early Mother's Day. She is from India, and sometimes we run across a trendy Indian restaurant who's food doesn't live up to the bold spices and flavors of true Indian food. This was not the case here. Every bite was bursting with flavor. I would return! read more

Located in New Orlean's second-oldest neighborhood far from the French Quarter is a small Indian restaurant on a block full of single-family homes. The chefs aren't Indian. After working in the food industry, the partners traveled through Indian, inspired by new-to-them flavors. Upon returning, they created a pop-up that now has a brick-and-mortar worth visiting. On a trip to New Orleans, my wife, seven-year-old daughter, mother-in-law, and I dined at Plume Algiers at 6 p.m. on a Tuesday evening in April. Here's our experience. 1) Food: Don't expect your usual Indian dishes like butter chicken or tikka masala. The menu is small, but that's because every dish is thoughtful and fresh. To feed the four of us, we got the fried rice with chicken for our daughter. We also got the banana chaat, chingri malai shrimp, cabbage moilee, raj kochari, green chutney, tamarind chutney, appam, two servings of naan, and milk cake. Literally, every dish was scrapped clean and every dish was a winner- truly. The banana chaat is very unique and the banana works with the coconut, yogurt, tamarind, and green chutney. The chingri malai shrimp was the perfect amount of spicy and the sauce went well with the naan and appam. 2) Service: It was attentive and kind. One of the owners took our orders and walked us through the menu. It turns out she grew up near where we live in Washington, D.C. 3) Space: It's small, but inviting. The walls are decorated with murals and the kitchen is open. Once done, go to the front to settle the bill. We found easy street parking right in front. 4) Price: For a feast that fed all four of us, our bill was $165.70, including a 20%+ tip. 5) Drinks: We ordered one of each of their cocktails. They were strong! read more

I have eaten at this place a couple times now and can attest it being 5 stars every single time. The menu changes but the flavor and satisfaction never disappoints. I actually tell everyone about this restaurant and have brought several people there who all have brought other people back. The owners work the place and are insanely passionate about the food experience for their customers. This is a unique experience that you will not regret. The ambiance is welcoming, relaxed, and comfortable. I can't say enough good about this place. I look up reviews to help me decide on both where to eat and what to eat and I am a person who usually needs to already pick out my meal before I get somewhere but i can't do that with Plume yet it doesn't matter because everything they make is incredible. They are honest about their foods and can help you choose your items based off your taste. They are extremely helpful. Please just try it and enjoy!! And get the fermented coconut pancake thing, sooo good. read more

A little sad about their hours changing to brunch only but I know it's only temporary. Although yesterday they had dinner available for their 4 year anniversary. It's our favorite Indian spot so of course we rsvp'd. you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. We haven't had their fried chicken until last night and boy I wish we weren't too full to order another one. It was so dang good. The chingri malai shrimp was my second fav! Flavorful dish with nice juicy shrimps. My husband is a huge fan of the beef nighri and pork axalone. Those two were too spicy for me but it's his go two every time we go there. We'll have to try out their brunch one day. Service is good. Since it's a small biz, we typically order by the scan code to help the servers out and pay through it also. Street parking. Fairly safe area in Algiers. Now go cross that damn bridge for some good food. read more

Really fantastic, fresh, creative approach to Indian. Run by an adorable couple who visited India and learned to cook it. Generous portions. Delicious naan and appetizers. Beef dish very savory and rich. Braised curry cabbage with coconut and peanuts. Really ingenious preparation. For summer they plan to just have a brunch menu. They have picnic tables outside. Lots of take out orders. Alcohol served. Don't worry about the drive or the neighborhood. It's fine and well worth it! read more

BEST Indian food in New Orleans. Hands down. When I finally made it over to Plume, I couldn't believe I had been missing out on something so amazing for so long. Don't come here expecting to get your typical, basic Indian dishes like tikka masala, butter chicken, etc. Go to Plume to be taken on an Indian culinary adventure. There was barely anything on the menu that I had heard of before, but for me, that's right up my alley. We got the Raj Kachori, Shrimp Kaathi Roll, Mulai Kattiya Taniyam (and Naan of course). Everything was EXQUISITE--Absolutely nothing like I had ever tasted before-- and had an explosion of flavor with every bite. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Plume Algiers is definitely one of my favorite New Orleans restaurants now. read more

Loved this restaurant - very authentic. Their options were a joy to find! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Appam on the menu. Appam are rather unique rice pancakes using coconut milk made in southern India, mostly in Kerela and Mangalore. They were delicious. The cilantro lime fish was flavorful and moist. They even had Fenny - an alcohol drink made in Goa by fermenting cashew fruit. It was truly an amazing find. Next time I visit NOLA, I'll definitely return in anticipation to Plume Algiers for such great food options! Ambience was great and service was friendly and prompt. read more

And fish was Fishy Fishy tasting ....perhaps it Was fresh but it didn't taste good. Fishy not in a good way. Not sure if I'd go back ; maybe for the Tea. read more

New Orleans has a dynamic culinary scene, to be sure, but the Indian subcontinent has not been particularly well-represented in my experience. However, this place popped up and is both a quintessential New Orleans kind of place and a worthy gustatory experience. It's a little shop in a residential area in Algiers, with a couple of indoor tables that were available when I visited, and a couple of picnic tables outside. What appeared to be a husband and wife couple were splitting all the duties, and I saw no evidence of any other employees, perhaps explaining the limited hours. The rotating menu was written on a chalkboard, but is available for online ordering as well. Hardly any of the choices were things that you'd see at a typical Indian restaurant. Don't get me wrong; a channa masala is generally among the best meals in town, regardless of the town, but here my choices included a mung bean salad flavored with mustard oil and a stir-fry of finely shaved carrots and coconut. A freshly cooked appam was useful for mopping up my carrots, and a tamarind soda added a contrary flavor note. Everything was fresh and delicious. The owners seem to be not Indian, but big fans of regional Indian cuisine, which puts them right on level with me. If you're downtown and looking for an excuse to hop on the ferry to Algiers, let this be your destination. read more

We are visiting and decided to try here based off of Resy searches. I am SO GLAD we did. Everyone was welcoming and nice, and the food was to die for. My husband and I both got the shrimp ghee roast and got our son veggie fried rice. We got naan and it was the best I have ever had, so we then got the cheese naan and it was mouthwateringly delicious. We are only here 2 more days but are already considering coming back before we leave. If you're not sure about trying them.... DO IT. read more

Literally loved everything about this experience. We were in a mixed group of people who had never tried Indian so they were nervous. We shared everything at our table and everyone loved every dish. The garlic cheese naan was sinfully delicious. The couple owners were amazing and had great selections as we put it all in their hands. The prices were amazingly affordable. I cannot recommend more highly that you visit this place when visiting Louisiana. read more

Plume serves some of the best, most inspired food I've eaten in New Orleans or anywhere else. Absolutely amazing.

The food is amazing. Honestly some of the best in New Orleans. Definitely the best Indian food in NOLA by far. Everything is flavorful right down to the naan. A must try in NOLA! read more

Plume was absolutely delicious! As someone who has grown up in an ethnic North Indian household, I have very high standards for Indian Food (or any type of fusion twist off of it). My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes including the branzino special (a new dish that they recently added on their menu), the chicken kaathi rooms, and shrimp pakora. The shrimp pakora had two really interesting sauces with one being more pickle based and another being more curry based. The aapams were very fluffy and made perfectly. Lastly, I loved the combination of the mushroom and paneer naan. It was so unique and flavorful. I definitely hope to come back once again in the near future! read more

Cross the damn bridge they say and you should. If for nothing else, for their food. So true to themselves, these curries are delicious and I am in awe of the owners who are putting in so much effort.

Plume offers Indian cuisine. It is very delicious. Clean restaurant. Good and modern restaurant. Unfortunately, it was Valentines evening and they were slammed, which was a bit too much for this small restaurant. So, we received our order in piecemeal fashion.

Oh my yumminess! This place is amazeballs. I just ate there last night and I ALREADY WANT TO GO BACK! I got the Appam, which is a fermented coconut pancake. I could taste the coconut in the thicker bites. Yum!! The butternut squash dish was also amazing. The name of it was "Majjige Huli". The menu describes it as "Roasted acorn squash, bitter gourd, coconut, buttermilk." But it also had curried leaves and some yummy nuts and a mishmash of flavors that were superb. Just so good. read more
