A New Orleans hello, served in Indiana

Affordable, laid-back Cajun and Creole cooking for neighborhoods across Indiana and Ohio.

It started on College Ave

Yats grew up on College Ave in Indianapolis, cooking the food New Orleans is famous for.

Roux-based étouffées. Red beans with smoked sausage. Spicy stews and chilis that change with the board. The idea has stayed simple: real Cajun and Creole flavor, in a relaxed room, at a price that makes it an every-week stop.
