Customer Review Summary
Stone-baked pizza draws the most repeat praise, with reviewers calling it fantastic and perfectly oven baked with a well-risen base dough. Close behind, the halal tiramisu comes up again and again as a standout, often paired with complimentary tea, and the shish taouk and chicken kebab earn similar enthusiasm for being juicy and full of flavour. Several also mention fresh juices, peri chips, and generous portions at reasonable prices, and staff are repeatedly described as kind and welcoming. A few notes are mixed: one diner found the salad lacking and the lentil soup slow to arrive, and another describes the dining room turning hot and stuffy in summer, which they felt left staff exhausted. Separately, one reviewer reports finding a hair in their food and called management's response dismissive. Multiple reviewers say they return specifically for the tiramisu and complimentary tea after meals.

“La Vera is such a hidden gem!!! Their shish taouk, and chicken wings are cooked beautifully and all have a really lovely grilled flavour. Their peri chips and rice are also amazing and the selection of dips pair really well with the food they provide, and their tiramisu is delicious and creamy. The service is great, such kind workers and pretty quick with the food and the complimentary tea is really nice and perfect after a meal. 😁”

“Found a hair in my food, which was unacceptable. Even more disappointing was the unprofessional and dismissive response from management. Poor hygiene and poor customer service. I would not recommend this place.”

“I absolutely love this restaurant and the food is always great, but visiting during the summer has become really tough. The indoor temperature is way too hot and stuffy, which makes the dining experience uncomfortable. Because of the heat, the staff also seem completely exhausted, which unfortunately affects the quality of the service. I really hope the management invests in improving the AC and ventilation soon so we can enjoy this place comfortably year-round."”

“As italian, I really can say the pizza chef is really talented. Pizza here is very taste, fresh ingredients and a well-risen base dough, also if pork is missing. My little one has severe egg allergy and this is the best place to go with him. He loves La Vera pizza! Also there's a nice atmosphere with some Italian loung music and the staff is overtime extremely kind and smiling. Moreover, I really don't think you can find anywhere else better prices! 5 stars for me! 🤩🌟 💯”
