New Orleans Guide: Saffron NOLA
Address | 4128 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70115
For our last evening in New Orleans, our friends introduced us to Saffron NOLA. This upscale dining establishment specializes in Indian cuisine with a little bit of New Orleans flare. The dining room sets a romantic mood with low lighting and velvety bronze seating. The service is exceptional. In addition to hosting an extensive wine list, your eye will be drawn to the creative cocktail menu. Featuring fragrant ingredients like tamarind and pomegranate you’ll want to start your meal with a fresh cocktail. On the menu you’ll find items like curried seafood gumbo, oyster bed roast, and Bombay gulf shrimp that give you that local feel with a fresh and new twist.
