Quick info
About Lara Grill
Lara Grill is a Turkish restaurant on Whalebone Lane South in Dagenham, set up around a charcoal grill where dishes come off the fire fresh to the table. The room takes dinner bookings for birthdays and larger gatherings, with table service throughout the meal. Filiz and the team take orders at the table and bring the food out directly. The menu draws on Turkish grill traditions, with the charcoal kitchen at the centre of the offering and takeaway available for those eating elsewhere. Service runs in the evenings and the restaurant sits a short walk from the lane's other shops.

“2nd time I have been here and I couldn’t wait to return! Atmosphere - Amazing. Feels like a premium Turkish grill restaurant in the heart of London. I would comfortably sit in here for birthdays or large dinner gatherings. Food - Top tier. Charcoal grill flavours, fully fresh straight off the grill. Service - Warm and welcoming. Our waitorise Felise served us and she is simply just amazing. She served us the first time and again now (maybe this is why the experience was so good!). Lara grill have the best in service. Elise and Jacob looked after us with care and warmth and that makes this experience so memorable. Based in North London but would happily travel to East London for the Lara Grill experience. Thank you again!”

“To be perfectly honest… the young lady who servied us with drinks definitely needed to put a smile on her face… but the evening was totally turned around by the wonderful young man that took our order, brought the food to our table and the interaction between us was first class. Having said this the food was absolutely delicious and will definitely be going back soon 😋😋😋”
