"LUFU NOLA, one of New Orleans’s most hotly anticipated pop-up-turned-restaurants in recent years, did not fail to deliver. Its trio of chefs — Sarthak Samantray, Aman Kota, and Sachin Darade — has created a welcoming home for their elegant rendition of regional Indian cuisine, one they’ve evolved since their days as a food stall and mobile kitchen. The team has designed magnificent presentations for their biryani, chole bhature, and falooda; photo-worthy cocktails; and eye-catching backdrops at this first-time solo space, building a true hotspot that advances New Orleans’s growing Indian food scene." - Clair Lorell
