"Opened late last month in Gretna in the former longtime home of Red Palace Chinese on the Westbank Expressway, Turmeric is the first restaurant from business partners Sandip Chavan and Vaibhav Chavan (no relation). It joins New Orleans’s remarkably small number of Indian options and offers a massive menu of kebabs, masala, curry, and biryani, covering a full range of Indian specialties from naan to galub jamun and mango lassi. Open for lunch and dinner with a tried-and-true lunch buffet, the place is affordable—appetizers like samosas and chicken wings are all under $6, while the tandoori mix grill and fish tikki are the priciest entrees at $18 and $16, respectively." - Clair Lorell
