What a nice experience. From beginning to end with the enthusiastic waitress to Nola coming out and talking to us several times making sure our meals were good. My green curry chicken meal was delicious, extremely spicy, but delicious. The Mediterranean salad my friend got was amazing and huge and I can't wait to go back and get that the next time. Quaint, eclectic and beautiful atmosphere. And good easy parking. Such a nice little gem in Osseo. â¤ï¸

Visited twice and loved the food and cocktails! Service is very good. We will continue to visit.

Good food, but we sat in the bar had some apps and drinks which we went to the bar to get and in the end they charged us an automatic gratuity of 22% for party of 8 having drinks in the bar area.
Last night before the restaurant closed. Debacle of the highest order. Every aspect of the dinner was a train wreck. Also my wife ended up in the ER from the food, so there's that.

Date nights are rare for my husband and I and date nights that don't include fast food are even rarer. We'd been planning on trying Nola out for over a year and finally made it there - I'm kicking myself for not going sooner! The waitress and owner were very welcoming and helpful. I had the jambalaya and my husband had the chicken satay - both were amazing and seasoned to perfection. This is definitely a hidden gem worth visiting in the NW suburbs for!

This place is an absolute gem - between the flavorful, healthy food to the relaxing ambiance and excellent service. Talk to the owner about the life within food and how it cures or damages us and you'll be convinced she is the wisest person you've ever met. We need more restaurants and owners like this one.

The atmosphere is cozy and very nicely decorated. We had a few of the specialty cocktails which were so unique and flavorful we wanted to try them all but alas....

This is a FANTASTIC restaurant - great food, lovely management, and beyond cute. Inside, it's dim and beautiful - perfect for a business lunch or an evening date. There's also an event space in back for meetings, parties, and other events hosted by the owners (cooking classes, movie nights, etc.). Highly recommend.

We LOVED NOLA Bistro! Upon arrival there was a nice little note card welcoming us by name. The waitress was very knowledgable and friendly. The ambience is calming. Lovely music playing in the background. The menu has food choices from around the world. We ordered the Bhel Mumbai Street Food (India) for a starter and shared a Buffalo Sweat Beer which was excellent! My husband ordered the Chicken Yakitori (Japan) and I ordered the Eggplant (Middle East). Both dishes were amazing! Loved it so much we could easily come back and order the same dish. Except, we want to try all dishes! The dinner entrees also came with a fresh organic salad topped with a house dressing! FABULOUS! This will be our go to restaurant for special occasions.
What a surprise to find this local Bristol n the tiny town of Osseo, MN. Original Indian cuisine, friendly staff n the owners are in house!!! Great great food n service. Serving only evening in the Winter. Highly recommended!!

We had been to this restaurant in the past, but for whatever reason, this past weekend, it was the worst service ever. Our reservations was at 5:45. We had a 7:30pm theatre show near by. We sat down and ordered our drinks. We received those drinks at 6:20pm. We put in our dinner order shortly there after, and received that at 7:10pm. Just in time for us to ask for a box, as we had to leave and get to the show--which we had told them up front. They thought we had ordered more drinks and came to us with another round, yet we hadn't, so they took them back. They never once apologized, nor took anything off the bill to compensate. All of us had to bring all of our food into a box and rush off to the show. Clearly they knew there was an issue, as the owners finally began waiting on our table, and we never saw our waitress again. (maybe she walked out?)
Great experience, know before you go that it's meant to be a non-rush relaxing dining experience...don't expect to get in and out of there quickly...just what me and my wife were looking for on our date night...loved it!

You walk in, and it's like entering an entirely different world than Osseo, MN. Beautiful decor of all sorts.
