Plume Algiers is a great find in Algiers! Great food, great service, great location. I especially loved the location as it was walking distance from my place! Food- I ordered the regular Nasn and the Chicken Kaathi Roll. The Naan was hot and crispy, just the way I like it. The Chicken Kaathi was something completely new for me. It was like a spicy chicken wrap, where the wrap was a paratha. The overall flavor was okay. Drinks- I got a tall beer which they gave to me in a chilled mug. Which turned out to be great because flies are flocking to the can (which I emptied as quickly as possible) Service- the service was great! I ordered at the counter and the Waitress was super helpful and generous. There is an 18% automatic tip. Pets- they have outdoor seating which pets can hang out at. Parking- street parking. Seating- the space is a good size both indoors and outdoors. It's probably best for smaller groups. read more

Loved this intimate space. If you're looking for unique ethnic flavors a little further away from the touristy part of New Orleans, this restaurant is a gem. We enjoyed the Raj Kothari - a large crispy puff filled with spices and sauce with complex flavors and pomegranate seeds. We had the afghan style chicken (two hearty drumsticks in amazing creamy gravy) and lentil rice. The tamarind soda was very refreshing and made in-house. read more

Well, that was just crazy fucking good. We first read about Plume Algiers on a Sauveur list of New Orleans restaurants to try, and after seeing more mentions elsewhere, we lucked out by arriving into town on the reopening night after their latest trip to India. The banana chaat was a pure revelation - warm fried bananas with the cold chaat mixed with sweet coconut and tart pomegranate seeds. Man.... The mushroom kothu roti was the perfect mix of textures and spices, and the shortBanana Chaat ribs in the beef nihari were cooked perfectly, with the sauce being the perfect dip to sop up with naan and rice. We wrapped it up with their milk cake dessert, which was unlike anything else we'd ever had, but worth the sugar rush. Incredibly friendly staff, great vibe, and worthy of a return trip whenever possible. read more

This place is just AMAZING. If you're in the mood to taste flavors that you've never experienced before - this is THE PLACE. As an Indian living in the US for 6-7 years, I can tell you this is undeniably the best Indian food you'll ever have. And the couple running the restaurant are just as lovely. You can make out the true passion and love they have for the cuisine, in every tiny detail. From making their own spices and pickles, to a menu that changes to get the freshest seasonal ingredients - they have brought Indian flavors that are far beyond the cliche butter chicken. Do yourself a favor, get here and get ready for some serious feasting. read more

This review is only for the food only. Ive only ordered takeout so far. EXCELLENT new and different "Indian" food. So Refreshing to see Different Delicious and Creative. i've tried almost everything on the menu. The only thing I did not like was the fried chicken thighs because of their breading. I don't like thick soft coatings on anything fried I have to have crunchy crispy. if you like Indian food definitely try this place, you'll love the food. Try the banana Chaat! It's weirdly delicious and surprisingly yummy yummy!!!! if you've never had Indian food before order one of the Kaathi rolls! I would eat one every day for lunch if I could. You won't be disappointed. read more

Plume is a delight! From the POP the pink picnic tables and gold, geometric window bars add to the curb appeal of the Algiers neighborhood to the POP of flavor with every bite of the delicious food, you'll certainly want to POP across the Mississippi River to experience Plume! We enjoyed our veggies...yum, yum! The Gobi 65 (cauliflower), Saag (seasonal greens) & Mushroom Kothu Roti we're all fresh, flavored perfectly, and enough to share with my date. Don't skip on ordering the naan! It's crispy, savory & warm & brings the whole meal together. Plume Algiers is a very welcome addition to the West Bank of New Orleans! Thanks for a great evening, Plume! read more

The power went out in the neighborhood (due to bad weather) while we were there so the pic of our food isn't very clear but it was a great experience. The owners are extremely friendly and the food was amazing. Indian but not like any traditional Indian cuisine you've ever had. Loved it & will definitely go back. The menu apparently changes ever so often so you'll never get bored w the offerings read more

Plume Algiers - Indian Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Food was tasty and presented beautifully. I purchased the lunch special. I saw cabbage on the description and thought it was the one thing that I would skip. However it was a sprightly tart salad of cabbage and ginger. The lentils were spicy. The nan was great. The service was attentive. read more

Really enjoyed my Plume Algiers experience. Everything I ate was absolutely delicious. Especially the Seafood Moliee and not pictured here, the rabbit Naan. I'm usually not a huge rabbit person, but this was amazing. They serve up so many layers of flavors with each dish. There's only three tables for dining with maybe a combined seat total of 10. You order at a window and the food is brought out to you. They also take to go orders. The neighborhood is a little rough and the neighbors across the street were angry I'd parked in front of their house, strange. I don't think they have a liquor license (yet?) so no alcohol for sale but I'm sure you could always byob. read more

I echo every 5 star review here. I've eaten at over 100 Indian restaurants across the U.S. This one was an incredible standout. The plain nan was wonderful enough to carry the whole meal. The beef stew was off the hook wonderful. The staff and the owners are youngish, very very enthusiastic about their cooking and restaurant, and super nice and accommodating. The owners seem to be cooking every meal. The milk fudge/cake was wonderful. I brought some home. I took my 81 yo mother out at 530, which was great b/c they started getting busy by 630. The staff and owners were wonderful. She had an amazing time and wants to go back. It was a magical night for the two of us. The only weaknesses were the rice and the alcohol. The rice was dry...just stick to the nans. The premixed cocktails were not to my liking. The wine list was weak. I don't know if they provide corkage service, but I would bet they do. If you want wine that is as excellent as the food, check with them if you can bring your own. I also bought a T-shirt and the cook a beer. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Open 2 days....me and fellow Yelpie, Katie A. are hot on it. Wow.....Chef Tyler, Merritt and comrades put on quite a show. Located on the edge of Algiers point, this unassuming darling eatery sits nestled in the middle of a neighborhood. Easy for Westbankers and The New Orleans crowd to find. Literally the first exit and 5 minutes from off the expressway(or the last exit depending on your direction).....Plenty of street parking to be had. While the dining room is currently undergoing her transformation (take notice of J. Pierre's masterpiece in progress) you can either call ahead or order at their clever walk up window. I had looked at their website (plumealgiers.com) before Katie arrived to check out what this new gem had to offer. And.......yep just order one of everything off the lunch menu. What a treat! I preface my opinion but saying these are standard ingredients in epic combinations. The choices are daring and perfect for any adventurous tastebuds. I found my self ohhhhing and ahhhhhing with every bite as did Katie. I can't say I have a favorite because I enjoyed it all. Something was really spicy for me that caused me to perspire, but not to Katie. I really loved the Aloo Chaat, it reminded me of comfort food with a surprising chickpea crunch. The Chow Mein was substantially delicious and the Kaathi Roll is so perfect for a grab and go. Keep in mind the salads may not be what you would expect, no lettuce, just combinations of great ingredients. I found both to be delicious. The Recheado full of delicious crab and shrimp & the Mango salad with its ripe mango, plethora of summertime tomatoes and dressed in a dynamic yogurt. Welcome to the neighborhood Plume, you're going to be quite the adornment that Algiers was looking for. Can't wait to see how the menu changes based on the fresh ingredients you acquire, it's all so exciting! read more

Amazing! It may be a little out of the way for the French quarter / convention tourists, but identifying as one of those - let me confirm it is worth the Lyft trip! They care about their food in a root deep sense that is hard to find. If you love Palm & Pine, you will live this place. Best aromatics, thoughtful dishes, and as someone who doesn't love fish - the catfish with cabbage slaw was melt in the mouth delicious. 5 stars. read more

Shockingly good food with a diversity of flavors in each dish. I remarked to my husband while eating the baby corn chile, "this tastes like we are in India." Very accommodating of my nut allergy. Only downside was a little too much oil in the saag paneer but was able to spoon it off. We will return! If helpful, I am Indian American, frequently cook Indian food, and have been to India 25+ times. read more

We went to Plume not knowing at all what to expect, especially considering the location. We did the prix fixe Chef's tasting and it did not disappoint! We even had some lagniappe (not included on the planned menu)! We will definitely be returning, and hope that this restaurant continues to grow! The chef was incredibly passionate about his travels to India and he was equally as passionate about the food. Best new restaurant in the NOLA area! read more

Wow! All the 5-star reviews are right on!!! This restaurant was by far our best meal of the week. We took the ferry & it was well worth the trip! We had both appetizers (snacks), as well as the braised beef dish with rice and naan. I also had a house made mango soda with cachaca. Everything was clearly made from scratch, and the ingredients/flavors were phenomenal! Pomegranate seeds, bananas, coconut, just to name a few. This is a small restaurant run by a couple. It won't be long until there is a long wait to get in. read more

The place is small with seating for about 20 inside with benches outside as an alternative option. Placement of the lavatory is a bit odd. One must walk sort of through the kitchen / down the line to get to it. The cashier was helpful in making sure that food was available and allowing us to pick our own seats. The menu is simple and small. I love a good naan and unfortunately the garlic and cheese naan was not what I was expecting. The seasoning/spread was not mixed properly. Some portions of the naan had too much garlic while other pieces lacked flavor. Each of the four pieces did have a kick though from the pepper. The kitchen was out of the lamb ( Galouti Kebab) so we got the Fish Kabiraji. That was the best piece of white fish that I've had in a long time the breading was spectacular and perfectly seasoned. I ate it on its own since the fish is relatively small compared to the mountain of fry that is on it. The kashundi was a harsh horseradish sauce that did not pair well in my opinion. Next the main dish that I'd been waiting on , the beef Nihari. I'd seen someone cook it on tiktok and knew I had to taste it. I searched for a spot near me and found this place. I researched their pages to make sure it was a good option. Well, the dish did not look like it does on their Instagram pictures or their online ordering menu. It did not have as much "juice" as it does online and it did not come with the like also depicted on their site. The flavor was mild but the spice from the pepper was there if I got a bite with it. The meat was very tender though and maintained moistness when reheated hours later. We ordered basmati rice - expecting a great amount of stew. The rice alone was bland and without any ghee or butter or even salt. However , it was only $2 for the bowl which is a decent price. From what I see on their online ordering , mine was missing some seasoning on the top. The mango soda - extra, extra sweetened- was a good treat. It really tasted more like a mango juice mixed with a dash of sprite. Overall , I more than likely wouldn't return. read more

To quote our friend who has worked in the food industry: "it is James Beard worthy." Had take out from here while visiting friends and it was absolutely spectacular. Coming from NYC and with Indian family the bar was high but we trusted our friends. They were so right. This was not the generic Indian-American menu. It was richly seasoned, nice and spicy, and filling but not a cream/oil bomb. The mushroom roti was a standout, the chicken, lamb, and daal were all great. Large portions. Highly, highly recommend. read more

This is an incredible hidden gem in Algiers Point. The ambience is very casual and comfortable. The young couple who own it are nice and engaging, but it's the food which is the star of the show. Such expressive, intense, and focused flavors. Beautifully made dishes, each so distinctive and unique. Just something as simple as the Naan was done better than most Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Treat yourself, and you'll never regret it, or stop thinking about your next visit. read more

If I had to driver cross town Through pouring rain, the windows down With traffic bad and lots of tolls I would, for chicken kaathi rolls. If the bridge was out cause a tidal wave hit 'er And so, I had to cross the river In a raft I made from empty cans I would, for their green bean thoran. If 30 miles I had to walk In blazing sun with soggy socks While snipers tried to take their shot I would, for some banana chaat. Join me in my keen devotion. Cross the river. Cross an ocean.

To be honest, I am hesitant to write this review for purely egoistical reasons: Plume is a gem that I would like to keep it to myself! The food is not the typical Indian fare you may encounter in many US cities, but rather a brighter and vibrant interpretation of many Indian street foods. The restaurant is small, but fortunately there are three tables at the sidewalk, and the service is what you would expect from a small restaurant with a small, but well trained staff. you should try the "Feed Me" option, with a tour of what the kitchen have to offer, your palate, and your belly will thank you. in summary: give Plume a try, it may be located somewhat out of the way, but probably it is one of the most innovative Indian restaurants in New Orleans. read more

Without a doubt, some of the finest Indian cuisine I have ever had. This restaurant is the real deal.

I've held off on writing a review of this place and I'm not exactly sure why. I've always ordered pickup, so I can't speak to the dine in experience, but the food is amazing. It's honestly hard not to drop ecstatic f bombs all over this review. Aside from when they tried delivery to the pub, I've never had issues with the food and that seemed to be due to an incompetent delivery driver. Tonight I had the fried redfish which was an explosion of flavor. Spicy, but not spicy for the sake of being spicy. I'm looking at you jalapeño chefs. The heat was there, but it didn't over power the flavor. It also held up nicely transporting it home. The fish retained its crispiness as did the banana chaat. I also got some pork vindaloo for tomorrow, but took a quick taste and have no complaints there either. When I moved to the west bank a year ago, I was worried I would have to take the ferry for good food, but Plume and several other restaurants have alleviated that fear. read more

Go and order one of everything on the menu. You won't regret it. We had a big group and just ordered enough to share. The flavors are unbelievably fresh and creative. Great service and a cute location. read more

It's astonishing living in this city for so long and being a foodie I never heard of this gem of a place. Absolutely amazing food. I grew up in Calcutta and being Bengali, experienced the best begali meal in had in recent times. Perfect and authentic bled of culture with local ingredients and original in many ways. Take your dates there .. one of the best place to eat in town. Their palate is not overwhelming and only Indian restaurant thats thoughtful and interesting. read more

Such a gem across the river! I appreciated the variety of Indian dishes. We tried the branzino special, tamarind rice, appam, dal, pakora, mushroom naan and kaathi rolls.

They seem to change it seasonally as well so there's always something new to try! read more

As a New Orleans (Algiers) native, I was gobsmacked to enjoy an incredible meal with family at Plume, an Indian restaurant in Algiers! I now live in the S.F. Bay Area where great Indian food abounds.

As they say, "cross the damn bridge" for this wonderful culinary experience. read more

Bottle of wine are at a great price as well. The service was attentive and hospitable. If you're looking for a great weekend dinner, this is the perfect place to go. read more

My wife, for literally 16 years, thought she hated Indian food and would not go close to an Indian restaurant. She is also a vegetarian and I kept telling her Indian food is amongst the best veg cuisine on the planet, if not the best. She finally agreed to give it a shot at Plume and her first reaction and words were, "oh, I was wrong, I love this." Not only is Plume awesome to me, an avid Indian food lover, but my wife after 16 years was converted. This place is absurdly delicious, with creative concepts I have never seen. They change the menu, the food is always fresh and hot, and the service is spectacular. We live in "Nola" but find ourselves going across the River weekly to imbibe in Plume's incredible food. If you love Indian food, this is a true must go. If you love great food of any variety, it's a must go. I was not paid for this review :) we just love Plume, it's food, it's owners, and everything else about it! read more

This is a new Indian spot I've been wanting to try and it did not disappoint. They are take-out only but I didn't have to wait long for my order and it was easy to grab and go. The iced ginger chai was so delicious!!! I ordered the shrimp kaathi roll which was so good! My son ordered the crab & aloo kofta. Although it was good, he liked my dish better. The naan was just ok, and my son commented that it was over-seasoned. For dessert, I ordered the mini mango pie. I liked it. Don't let the small portion discourage you, it was plenty to satisfy. My son ordered the rava laddu and he didn't care for it due to gritty texture. I thought the flavors were nice but very sweet and the texture was like chewing on sugar balls. Overall, I will definitely be back to try other menu items. Prices were reasonable and service was great! read more
