I( a local)worked with Chef G to create a fun evening with college friends and spouses who had lived in India for a month in the late 70’s. I wanted a fun Indian variety, not too spicy as we are older. We had the back room with Brittany as our bartender( for wine/beers) and our server. Folks could visit the bar for cocktails. The buffet set up was perfect and the food was enjoyed by all. Samosas, crab balls, chicken tikka masala, spinach paneer, sesame encrusted salmon, saffron rice and a rich chocolate cake for dessert. It was VERY reasonable. The seasoning was good for this group although my family would have needed Tabasco. :) We had fun with trivia and could be as silly/loud as we wanted as it was just us! Brittany even learned a thing or two!! I would highly recommend Silk Road for any gathering like this. We were 25 and were staying down the street so the location was perfect. The neighborhood is very safe and parking would not be a problem if it was needed.

Indian went NOLA • We had a great experience and added to my list of saved places. On the cocktail side, The Nola Chai was a little sweet but still good. The Aviator was spot on! • Starters were Golden Lentils and Korean Brussel Sprouts. Lentils pulled the traditional Indian curry flavors and the Brussels were perfectly cooked and a touch of sweet. • Mains: The Braised Short Aruba were close to the most tender I have tried and savory. The Thai Green Curry was so good and reminded me of traditional New Orleans BBQ shrimp in the way it was cooked with the Head on shrimp smothered in the curry. Pretty spicy but bearable, just expect and explosion of flavors. • Very nice spot in the Marigny, away from the crowded areas of town. Will definitely be coming back when we’re out this way again!

Cannot recommend this place enough! Great neighborhood spot and the food is ridiculously good. Luckily on our last visit we were with a big group, so we got to taste a couple of the newer items on the menu. The Mulligatawny soup is amazing, and so is the Bengali Chicken Dum Biryani. I was already in heaven and then the Tandoori Lamb Chops came out. Cooked to perfection, they are incredible. Awesome staff as well. If you're looking for great Indian food and a fun, festive vibe, Silk Road is the spot.

A short walk from our lodging, the Silk Road fed us well! The mint yogurt chutney that accompanied the lamb was delicious! Our waitress was kind and attentive. The wine selection is competitive. The mulligatawny was scrumptious!

We had heard about this place from a friend and wanted to give it a try. We booked our hotel near Frenchman street, in the Marigny, add the Balcony Guesthouse. Turns out this restaurant was attached! We settled in and treated ourselves to a very generous and not expensive sazarac, properly made and ordered the Saag Paneer. There are very few seats and a small menu. We enjoyed the music and the vibe. The saag paneer came out really great! We appreciated the Brown rice with lentils. And the dish was very refreshing had a nice light flavor the paneer was fried to a beautiful golden crisp. Overall, we think this place is a winner!

Went for Coolinary Month, Very Glad we did! Unique flavorings of food that are pleasing and filling. The lemongrass crab bisque was amazing. Rich, creamy very satisfying. The smoked center cut pork chops were tender, moist and enough for my wife and I to share. Asked for more sauce, didn't get it. Shared the white chocolate cheese cake that was easily the most incredible I have ever had. Will add this to the list to go back again!!!

Great spot to start your night out. I was there in December on a weekday so the bar was low key. I was glad for it because i needed a spot to just read and chill before i left for Frenchmen St. The samosas were delicious and the wine was very affordable, especially during happy hour.

Super friendly staff, very nice atmosphere, great food, not a lot of parking unless you get lucky, which i did. i stayed upstairs, very nice little spot
