Several Atlanta eateries feature Louisiana-inspired fare, but a new restaurant with authentic New Orleans roots is bringing new flavor to the city.

Atlantans who love Louisiana-inspired fare have been waiting for Neyow’s Creole Cafe to open since the announcment this past spring.

Neyow’s is owned by New Orleans natives Tamla Pierre-Taylor and Tim Dublecet, according to the Chronicle. And given Atlanta’s thriving dining scene, the entrepreneurs wanted to add its brand to the restaurant gumbo.

In addition to Atlanta, Neyow’s has two other locations in New Orleans and Houston. In those locations, Neyow’s offers online ordering as well as curbside pickup.

“Our menu comes straight from our grandmother’s recipes, rich in our Creole heritage,” it says on the eatery’s website.

  • Crawfish balls
  • Shrimp on the Avenue: Grilled shrimp over angel hair pasta in a creamy white sauce
  • Fried gulf oysers
  • Seafood platters
