Seeking to get away from the chaos in the French Quarter and aching to please your palette with something that doesn't have Cajun or Creole in the title? Head out to Faubourg Marigny, just south of the French Quarter and make your way to the Hookah Cafe for a relaxing good time. This gay-friendly restaurant in the trendy new suburb of New Orleans serves Middle Eastern and Indian food and offers you a chance to be near a nightlife scene without the drama which can be found in the French Quarter.
The Hookah Cafe may be known for the tobacco-infused treats which its name suggests, but many people go here just for the food. Indian food served Spanish tapas style is not easy to find anywhere in the world but this New Orleans restaurant provides it without any problems. Compliment a cheese plate with a delicious selection of wine or treat yourself to something a bit more eclectic such as scallops in a coconut and raising cream sauce, flavored just lightly with spices from India.
This New Orleans restaurant is located in the midst of several blocks of bars and makes a terrific place for getting started with an evening out. DJ's play here on the weekends so you can get a groove winding through you and get your drink on while enjoying your dinner. And of course, they do have all that flavored tobacco to put you in a mellow mood if that's what you're seeking.
