With colorful beads, balls and lights draped everywhere, and mismatched furniture scattered inside and out, Yats provides a taste of Mardi Gras from its various Indianapolis locations. One of the most widely acclaimed restaurants in the city, Yats manages to feel homey and laid-back despite all the visual noise. A blackboard listing the day’s offerings features all the N’awlins classics: Jambalayas, gumbos and étouffées are all available for the same fixed price, so the only tough decision is whether you want two entrées on your plate for a couple of extra bucks. Call ahead if you’re looking for a particular dish, as Yats cooks up just a few selections each day. Luckily, the house favorite, chili-cheese étouffée, is always available.
No alcohol available. Serving lunch and dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"… a celebration of neo-psychedelic paintings, great music and excellent food."
