Really nice meal before the show with my vegetarian friends…read more Recently a couple of friends and I needed to grab a quick bite. I thought we were going to another place when one of my guests suggested Thaihey across the street from the fire station on Decatur. Yes, sure. It's a typical Quarter restaurant with its long gallery seating. We were seated right away. The menu appeared to be heavily vegetarian which was great for my two friends. Many will understand the limited menu options for vegetarians at most places. Wes ordered Tom Kai, Becky the Massaman Jackfruit option and I the one with short rib. It was delicious. It was warm and comforting, full of flavor and the chef made it less spicy for me. What a delight to choose a menu option that I have never had and restaurant that I have never been to. You believe that I'll return for certain. Especially for that gorgeous Mai Tai!

One mix-up worth mentioning only because they handled it well: she first ordered the jerk chicken, and through some misunderstanding both sandwiches came out. They refunded the jerk chicken on the spot. It is still showing as pending on our end, but no complaints. Inside it feels like a casual little market that happens to sell sandwiches, and everything coming out of the kitchen tastes like someone cares. Next time I am in N.Orleans, planning my day around eating here again.

This has to be one of the best Indian restaurants in the country. As a person who has tried lots of Indian restaurants, this place stands out above all. The service is impeccable. I wouldn't expect anything less given the quality and the taste of the food coming out of that kitchen. Our servers were very proper, very respectful, very courteous, and you could tell they were very proud of the food they were serving. The space is very well decorated, not a giant restaurant. If you don't already know who they are, you honestly don't expect what you're about to taste, and you're in for a ride. Every plate had something special to it. I didn't think I could fall in love again with lamb chops, but they proved me wrong. Reminded me of the first time I ever bit a GOOD lamb chop. I didn't think I would be impressed by (seemingly) fried chicken bits, but you too won't understand why they're so good when you bite into them. Fried cauliflower, AMAZING.

Ok, so I fell in LOVE with grape leaves in my early teens; I am not 66. For the past 50+ years…read moreI've been on a quest for that euphoric grape leaf experience. Every restaurant offering grape leaves, well, I order them and they always disappointed. Cleo's provided the holy grail of grape leaves. They were perfectly seasoned, did NOT have any chewy veiny ribs to the leaves, whatever starch used (super small grain rice or couscous or quinoa) was off the delicate nature that absorbed the aromatics perfectly!! I don't know what else to say but "MY LORD!" My husband ordered red lentil soup. He said it was on the watery side, BUT, it was seasoned very well. He also selected the falafel platter (he's now licking the plate. I wish there had a location in Orlando where I live, because one of my bucket list items has now been crossed off - fulfillment of the perfect meat grape leaves. Hats off to Cleo's chef!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had an absolutely exceptional dinner at Café Amélie tonight! With the recent rain, the usual…read morepotent French Quarter street smells were washed away, leaving the air beautifully fresh and the temperatures perfectly cool. Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.

Great food and excellent service. Highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic Indian cuisine. Looking forward to coming back!

While visiting New Orleans for the Defense Health IT Conference, we decided to dine at Namaste…read moreNOLA, located at 222 Decatur Street inside the Wyndham. The food was excellent--flavorful, well-prepared, and deserving of 4.5 stars. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. We often felt overlooked and not properly attended to. Even simple requests, such as onions or green chilies, came with additional charges. The surcharges themselves were not the primary concern; it was the overall impression that every small request was being scrutinized instead of being handled with warmth and hospitality. Namaste NOLA serves very good food, but the customer-service experience needs significant improvement. Based on our visit, I would rate the food 4.5 stars, the service 2.5 stars, and the overall experience 3.2 stars.

We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!
