Plume Algiers

What a find. Definitely part of New Orleans' new wave of great cuisine. Indian food is not one that I usually think of as very innovative, but I was wrong. This place definitely changed my mind - Plume is innovative, and it is great. The banana chaat is a marvel of savory-sweet-spicy, an eye-opening dish for $12. I forget the sauce that came with the sardine dish, tamarind I believe, but the savors were deceptively complex for such a simple-looking dish ($14 I think). The naan is made in front of you and yes, naan too, as simple a staple as it is, can be creative. This one is (get the cheese version). All the dishes were awesome, and the atmosphere is cosy in a well-appointed space. A great destination for those lucky enough to live in the New Orleans area, and if you are visiting, add Plume to your itinerary along with a visit to Algiers' Point and you'll have a great day.

Great for eclectic indian food. Street parking available. The flavors are amazing, but ration sizes are smaller than traditional dishes.

Great place right across the bridge from NOLA. All the recipes were niche, authentic and delicious!!

I don't think I'll ever eat at a more delightful and delicious local restaurant. I had the saag and chingri malai shrimp in gravy, with appam and naan on the side. The appam was deliciously fluffy with a great coconut flavor. The naan was cooked perfectly and had brushed ghee and toasted spices on top. I had a great cocktail that had a good quality tequila in it, an awesome stout reduction and some mace (nutmeg) spice. It was perfect.

This is one of the best restaurants in the area. Low-key, low maintenance space. Food is off the charts. Owners are great. Just plain awesome. We've never been so happy to over order.
