    The preparation of the food was excellent. The salad was tasty as were the fish and the lamb skewers. Spicing was perfect. Great concept. Look forward to the next one.

    While searching for things to do in NOLA, I found the NOCHI pop-up luncheon. Did research and loved this concept. My spouse and I had never had Ethiopian food so we thought this would be a great opportunity to try a new cuisine while assisting the students. Everything was prepared very well. We would definitely recommend this as an option for visitors and locals!

    We had a fantastic meal. The food was top-quality. The service (by students in the school who are training to be chef), was very well executed- with a personal touch. I always go to NOCHI popups.
