“What an absolute treat to finally have a dine-in experience like this in Belfast! Lasa brings such warmth, colour, and flavour to the table that you can’t help but leave impressed! Their Thursday curry menu is nothing short of exceptional. The Kare Kare was rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced, while the Pineapple Adobo was an explosion of sweet, tangy magic that I’m still thinking about. Honestly, both dishes were exceptional. Portions? Generous. Value? Unquestionable. Vibes? Immaculate. Thank you, Lasa, for giving Belfast something truly special. Can’t wait to come back! P.S Came back again... And it slapped!”

“Recently tried Lasa for the first time and was not disappointed. The day we were there was a special garden party celebration, with DJ, BBQ and cocktails. We had the softshell crab, Fillipino fries, flatbreads and chicken skewers. All delicious. Such a fantastic atmosphere. We had our kids in tow so it's definitely family-friendly, but next time think I'll go back without the kids so I can enjoy some of the delicious looking cocktails! Highly recommend.”
