Had a great dinner at Lala’s Kitchen last night with 8 people. We ordered Sham Savera Kofta, Soya Chaap, Paneer Masala and Garlic Naan. Everything was fresh, delicious and full of flavour. Great portions and a lovely experience. Highly recommended!

We had an enjoyable experience at Lalas. The food was beautiful with a great variety of dish options and some choices that we haven’t experienced before in Indian cuisine. Flavours were authentic and ample portions. Staff were pleasant and service was efficient. We would definitely recommend this venue if you enjoy Indian cuisine.

I do not eat Indian much. The butter chicken I am told was decent. The bread was excellent. The rest was meh to be honest. The one waitress was overwhelmed and needed help so service was not there.
