  “⭐ 1/5 – £125 Wasted on Awful Food We spent £125 at La Moda Restaurant and, quite frankly, it was £125 wasted on awful food. I would genuinely rate the food 1/10. The crispy prawns were completely overcooked, hard and unpleasant to eat, it was not freshly made they refried it to heat it up. The sweet potato fries were dry and poorly prepared. The lamb shank was unbelievably bland and flavourless, the rice had absolutely no flavour, and the chicken wings were awful – small, basic and tasted like something that had come straight out of an Aldi packet. For £125, I expect restaurant-quality food. What we received was nowhere near that standard. The biggest problem across practically everything we ordered was the complete lack of flavour and seasoning. It wasn’t just one bad dish – we ordered several different things and were disappointed across the board. We explained this to the manager, but his whole persona and response was basically that there was flavour in the food. As paying customers who had just spent £125 eating it, we were telling him there wasn’t. Instead of listening to our feedback or acknowledging that something may have gone wrong, it felt as though our opinion was simply being dismissed. I understand taste is subjective, but overcooked prawns being hard, dry food and multiple dishes lacking seasoning isn’t just about personal preference. £125 for food that none of us enjoyed is unacceptable. We left feeling like we’d completely wasted our money. Food: 1/10. Value for money: 0/10. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I absolutely would not recommend La Moda for the food and certainly wouldn’t return.”

  “I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant from start to finish. The manager was unbelievably rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. Instead of trying to resolve issues or treat customers with basic courtesy, they came across as dismissive and arrogant, which ruined the entire experience. Customer service was honestly one of the worst I’ve ever received. The food was nowhere near the quality that was advertised online. The pictures and descriptions on the website and social media are completely misleading. What we were served looked nothing like the promotional photos, and the taste was equally disappointing. Everything lacked flavour, seemed poorly prepared, and definitely wasn’t worth the money we paid. The drinks were just as bad. They were watered down, poorly made, and tasted awful. For the prices they charge, I expected something much better. It felt like they were more interested in taking customers’ money than providing decent food or drinks. Overall, this place relies on fake advertising to attract customers, but the reality is completely different. Between the terrible food, awful drinks, and the manager’s shocking attitude, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I would not recommend this place to anyone and certainly won’t be returning. There are plenty of restaurants that actually value their customers and deliver what they promise—this isn’t one of them.”

  “Nice place for a warm tea or sheesha. The ambience is nice with a variety of seating options indoors and outdoors. The food is very poor, bland and takes a long time to be served. I would not recommend going her for the food.”

  “Had such an amazing birthday celebration at this lovely Iraqi restaurant in the UK! The food was absolutely incredible — full of rich, authentic flavours that made the whole experience so special. What truly stood out, though, was the hospitality. Varni took such great care of us throughout the evening — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made sure everything was perfect and really went the extra mile to make my birthday feel special. If you’re looking for delicious Iraqi food and outstanding service, I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, Varni, for making the night so memorable! 🎉✨”

  “Went to the coffee shop next to La Moda. Same owner different managers. Food was good. Bread was a little hard to cut (sour dough can be quite hard). Too much food. I suppose too much is better than too little 🤣 Seems like a husband and wife team. Lovely couple, great service. Loved the music. Prices were reasonable especially for the amount of food you get.”

  “We celebrated a family birthday at this lovely restaurant, which boasts a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for capturing memorable photos. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. While the restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol, they do allow guests to bring their own at no additional charge, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn’t go quite as planned. Our orders were mixed up, and meals arrived at different times, which disrupted the flow of the celebration. The food itself was fairly simple, though this doesn’t reflect on the quality of service or the kindness of the staff.”

  “First time visiting La Moda today. The atmosphere was ok, the food was very bland. Enjoyed the baklava and karak chai. Service was good. Spent £135 on Mix mezeh, potatoes, falafel,chicken burger, cheese burger, lamb shank and chicken shesh, buklava. A little dear, especially as the good was ok! We sat in the "VIP" section upstairs, which wasn't great. Big screens, the hubby and son watched footie! Very loud music. And the was a draft coming from somewhere, so it became chilly. It's probably a good venue for hanging with friend, but not the best for a family with young kids.”

  “Stepping into Lamoda Restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The quality of the food stands out immediately, each dish thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Their mocktails & coffee deserve special mention, creative concoctions that perfectly balance flavors without being overly sweet. What truly elevates the experience is the staff's genuine warmth and attentiveness, they strike that perfect balance between professional and friendly. Whether you're planning a casual dinner or special occasion, Lamoda comes highly recommended for anyone seeking excellent cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. A true gem worth visiting again and again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

  “Great atmosphere, very friendly staff😇, newish restaurant with excellent decor, very clean. Mocktail was disappointing orderd 2 as the 1st one didn't hit the spot. I ordered Halloumi salad for my starter, Lamb Shank as my main, and Baklava as the milk cake was not available. Overall, it was just OK! Was really looking forward to this spot, just a shame it didn't wow me😞”
