THE STORY OF ATTI NOLA
The first thing we came up with was South Indian cuisine because we were craving our home food, which is often rich, bold, and spicy. SIDDHARTH, VISHNU, and RISHAP decided to start a South Indian pop-up in New Orleans called Atti NOLA. "Atti" was the first-ever name we decided on, and we introduced ourselves as the first South Indian pop-up in the city.
"Atti," in our slang, means the local spot or adda—a place where people gather to connect and share. Our specialty dish, the parotta, is a flaky, layered bread that holds a special place in our hearts as an emotion-filled staple from South India. We started with just one pop-up a week, but as days passed, we increased to five. People discovered us through our content, and soon we were participating in bigger events like Top Tacos and the NOLA Night Market, bringing our vibrant flavors to even more food lovers.
PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
Atti Nola Shines at Food Fight NOLA with Award-Winning Kari Paniyaram. We are beyond thrilled to share some exciting news—Atti Nola took home 2nd place in the Judges’ Choice for Most Creative Dish and 4th place in the People’s Choice for Most Creative Dish at this year’s Food Fight NOLA! Our star dish? Kari Paniyaram—a flavorful twist on the traditional South Indian delicacy. These crispy, golden paniyarams were packed with spiced goat meat, delivering the perfect balance of crunch, spice, and comfort. It was an honor to showcase a dish so close to our roots and see it resonate with both the judges and the amazing crowd at the event. This win is a testament to the love and support of our incredible community, and we couldn’t have done it without you! Your votes, enthusiasm, and encouragement fuel our journey, and we’re more inspired than ever to keep bringing bold, authentic flavors to the New Orleans food scene. A huge thank you to Food Fight NOLA for giving us this platform and to everyone who showed up, tasted, and voted for us. Stay tuned—Atti Nola is just getting started, and we have so much more in store for you!
