Editorial Review for Bennachin Restaurant – by Chad Kirtland
In Short
Native dishes such as the shrimp Creole-like shipa-shipa and the restaurant's namesake African jambalaya show links between the cuisines of West Africa and Louisiana. Others, such as ndole--spinach, ground peanuts and ginger over coconut rice--offer never-before-tasted flavors. The menu is extensive, like a journey over virgin territory and full of culinary adventure. Bennachin is popular with the takeout crowd. If you plan to sit in, be patient. Service is slow. One particular dish even requires an hour-and-a-half lead-time.

We were in New Orleans recently and after a searching a while about restaurants that serve vegetarian food, we stumbled onto Bennachin and decided to give it a try. Needless to say we were not disappointed. For appetizers we had black-eyed pea fritters which were really good. Then I got Nbodle without beef for my entree and my husband got some chicken dish. Both of us enjoyed our entrees and left the restaurant happy.
Pros: Food

I moved from New Orleans over 3 years ago & I miss this place most of all. I brought all my visitors to this restaurant & they all loved it. I still recommend it to friends who will be visiting the city. Try the peanut stew - which can be made vegetarian. I still have cravings!
Pros: great food
Cons: does anything else matter?
