Turmeric is open in Gretna, joining New Orleans’s small number of Indian restaurants
A new restaurant in Gretna has joined New Orleans’s remarkably small number of options for Indian cuisine, offering a massive menu of kebabs, masala, curry, and biryani. Turmeric opened late last month in the former longtime home of Red Palace Chinese on the Westbank Expressway.
According to NOLA.com, Turmeric is the first restaurant from business partners Sandip Chavan and Vaibhav Chavan (no relation). Open for lunch and dinner and offering the tried-and-true lunch buffet, the long menu covers a full range of Indian specialties, from naan to galub jamun (a fried dessert) to mango lassi. It’s affordable as well, with appetizers like samosas and chicken wings all under $6, with a tandoori mix grill and fish tikki the two most expensive entrees, at $18 and $16, respectively.
Included in the handful of other Indian restaurants in New Orleans are longtime Uptown buffet Nirvana, Marigny cafe Silk Road, and Metairie’s Taj Mahal. The last major addition to the city’s Indian cuisine scene, Saffron Nola, has become a top dining destination in New Orleans since opening in 2017.
