    We went on a ladies night. On Tuesdays its 50% off the food menu and you get 4 alcoholic cocktails for free The service atmosphere music and food were so good but the music was too loud. I loved the garden outside. The guacamole 🥑 is soooo good and the spinach dip as well The burgers starters were not that good We loved our main dishes, the steak, sea food gombo and the burger Loved the vibes of this place Its recommended

    First time coming here on a Tuesday night, as what I’ve heard, this is one of the bests in Dubai- and it’s true. Super loved the ambiance, drinks & food is 💯 yummm! It just shows how good this social house is because it’s fully booked. Staff is so friendly & accommodating, checks up on you from time to time. Special thanks to Ms. Jackie for making our first time experience amazing. Will surely be back here soon 😊

    Nola has always captured my heart.. the waiters very friendly, the menu diversified and the food is good! Their drinks are special, a good selection of wine and some funky cocktails! Don’t miss to try the swindler, it’s a house specialty that is bourbon based and exquisite! A very nice place for a nice evening especially outdoor

    Went to Nola Eatery and Social House for lunch. The restaurant looked amazing. The food was delicious and all the staff and service was great. The food was quite pricey compared to a lot of other places in JLT. For a drink a small main it was about AED 100 - Regardless, I will return because of the great overall quality of the restaurant.

    I had a bit of spare time and decided that dining here looked like a good idea. It seemed though that all the tables were already booked but the hostess seated me with a bit of a time limit for my tables reservation. I ordered from there seasonal menu, the festive turkey and the santa’s surprise for desert, both of which was really good. The service was good and all the staff were really friendly.

    It is a cosy place and ambiance is good too. I like the service, They we’re kind and fast. I had hamburger, steak, mushroom bread and finally a cheesecake. they were all nice but not superb. They have very reasonable pricing for happy hour so I would suggest you to be there during that time

    Nola Eatery & Social House is a New Orleans inspired eatery and bar in JLT, Dubai. We recently had lunch there and the venue is cool, chic and charming with an Al fresco dining area. We enjoyed the cocktails, food, vibe and the service.

    Nola Eatery & Social House A consistently good food place; they’ve been around for quite a few years now and have been consistently serving southern American good food. Love the vibe of this place …. They’ve a cute outdoor terrace perfect for the present weather. I recommend trying the grill, the sliders are decent too. If you’re looking for a steak the selection is decent. Appetisers are good for sharing. Featured we had cobbs salad, steak and seafood jumbalaya. Perfect date night/ hangout with the gang place ! Réservations are highly advised. Walk-ins not advised.

    Cosy place with a nice ambiance, great for after work drinks or even a date night. I love their food and drink selection and my favorite is their baked Camembert in filo dough. It comes with cranberry jam which is a heavenly combination. I also tried their po’boy slider, the meat is super tender.

    The best ladies night offer! With four drinks each and 50%off food on Tuesdays. The food tasted great and the overall vibe was amazing too. Books fast so would recommend calling in a week before.

    Got her for lunch on a weekday. Ample seating available. I remember the food being better here, wasn’t too happy with this visit. Only the Creole meatballs stood out for me. Tried the mushroom flatbread, empanadas and momma’s PO boy along with cajun grill jumbo prawns. Service is good beer is cold food could be better :)

    If you're looking for good food, tasty cocktails, and a jazzy southern atmosphere, Nola is the place! The restaurant is furnished like an old-school American diner, centerpiece cocktail bar included. The funky, soulful music, combined with the interior and the friendly staff immediately immerse you in the Cajun setting. We dined during the Halloween period, and all the staff were dressed up, with a free face paint corner available for patrons. It's clear that Nola goes the extra mile for their guests. Looking at the menu, there's a nice selection of deliciously braised, roasted, smoked, and barbecued meats, along with some tasty fish platters and some vegetarian options as well. These are paired with a nice selection of beers of various strengths, wines, and, of course, classy cocktails. I highly recommend the Corpse reviver 2 and the Bourbon Street! Desserts are taken seriously here, with the usual calorie bomb suspects: moelleuxs, brownies, caramelized bananas, and beignets. To our surprise, the beignets were light, fluffy, and not even slightly too greasy (hats off to the cook!). The real difference is made by the staff. They are so, so kind and always ready to help. Service was fast and smooth, and always with a smile. My only remark would be that the music was a bit too loud, certainly when seated below the speakers as we were. However, as a party of nine, I don't think there was another spot in the venue where we could have been seated.

    Amazing food. I had the seafood gumbas and my husband had the Nola burger. We both enjoyed it. Nice ambiance and cocktails too.

  • 5/5 Franklin van W. 1 year ago on Google
    A real gem, had a nice experience. Great lounge music, sharply dressed waiting staff and the bar/indoor area looks very classy. The outdoor area is also beautiful, lots of greenery and the vibes are amazing. Definitely recommend for a drink or some food.

  • 5/5 Jale 6 months ago on Google
    I absolutely LOVED the vibe! The food was great and also the service. We sat outside for a little bit, but it was kinda hot, so we moved inside. They have different areas for different gatherings. And the mune covers a great deal of variety. Prices are also very reasonable for such quality and atmosphere. Will definitely go back and recommend 👌🏻

    Nice atmosphere. Good food. The steak was really good. Tuna tartar as well. Love the music and the vibe. Pretty crowded, better to have a reservation

  • 4/5 Wilhelm Von G. 6 months ago on Google
    Overall impression wasn’t that bad at all, beetroot salad was out of this world, however jambalaya had lack of Cajun touch, literally tasted like ordinary biryani (sorry for such comparison), nevertheless nice n very cozy place in the heart of JLT, recommended if passing by someday

  • 5/5 Daniel Fragoso M. 5 months ago on Google
    I was not planning to go for Nola. But the Greek restaurant, Mythos, even with plenty of empty tables, just offered us bar seats. But surprisingly, Nola was amazing. Great food drinks and warm service. Brenda impressed us with smile and competence. For sure, we will come back

  • 5/5 Berry B. 5 months ago on Google
    A very nice place to eat, chill and hang out with jazz/chill out style music, charming and service oriented bartenders. The venue is beautiful, the menu at the bar is small but tasty. We've had corn flakes chicken, homemade potato chips and extremely delicious hot spinach cheese dip and wagyu beef.
