3.5/5 I’d give this place, ordered from DoorDash here for the first time. Got the garlic noodles and the head-on shrimp boil. They did give a good portion of shrimp and they were very big, however, I wish there was more seasoning. I know everywhere has their own spin on seafood boil, I just felt like it was more citrus and bland. The noodles were cold, but they were good. I would give this place another try.

C’est bon mon ami.
Mais yeah! The food was quite nice, yeah! We got the Boudin balls fried crawfish and that chicken and sausage gumbo, us.
Ain’t exactly what I’m used to in Acadiana mais by far the best place you gonna find in this area.
The owners backstory was quite interesting and I’m glad he opened this place for us to have a little spot we can actually be our Cajun selves again.

So, please no one be offended lol. Not sure if my review for Nola Cajun can be overall or just this one for Shrewsbury. But this place is my favorite. If the owners from Boylston location owns and operate the Shrewsbury one then kudos. I've never had a dull moment or experience with this place, never.
