Lassalle’s New Orleans Deli is expected to open in a few weeks at 601 S. Boston Ave.

“We would like to be open before February, but that could be really tough,” said Chris West, who owns the restaurant with his wife Amanda.

West said the deli will specialize in Cajun-Creole cuisine, such as muffalettas, po’ boys (hot roast beef, catfish and shrimp), red beans and rice, and chicken and sausage gumbo and jambalaya.

“My grandma is 100 percent Cajun, and a lot of our recipes come from her,” he said. “We will be making everything from scratch, even the seasonings.”

The Wests are former New Orleans residents. They first came to Tulsa in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and decided to settle here in 2007.

Lassalle’s is located on the southeast corner of Sixth Street and Boston Avenue.

“It feels a lot like central downtown New Orleans,” West said.

Lassalle’s will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday.
