  “Had lunch with 4 friends on a Sunday. Car parking attendant on site. The venue was really nice and clean. Excellent friendly service. For starters we had a portion of Lamb Chops, Chapaali Kebab and Chicken Wings. The Chapaali Kebabs were not Chapaali Kebabs in my opinion. They also contained far too much flour in them, which was disappointing and were more akin to Shami Kebabs. (See photos) I did feed that back to our waiter on the day. The other two starters were spot on. For our mains , we had a Lamb Handi, which was ok but my mates really loved it. We also had Keema and Potatoes which was really tasty. The Chapatties and Rotis were excellent. There was a wedding function on the day, which made things a bit noisey but on the other hand added a bit to the atmosphere. I would certainly recommend this place, if you not been here before. As we were out of town we were offered some free Dhesi Chai, which we politely declined.”

  “We went to Bradford from Birmingham and decided to have dinner here. Really glad we did we were a family of 5 with a 9 year old. Their customer service from walking into the restaurant to leaving is exceptional. The staff at the door were very welcoming and really engaged with my niece. Our waiter Shoaib was excellent, again really engaging with my niece and said to her if she finished her food she will get ice cream. Now shes a really fussy eater but that bribe worked and she managed to finish most of her food and she got her ice cream!. He even interacted with our Mum in our own language explaining everything to her. And my niece almost got her self a job there as she didn't want to pay the bill. 🤣. The banter Shoaib had with her was funny. On the way out my niece got a lollipop and my sister wanted one (a big child) so she got a couple too. We decided to take some pictures on the swing at the entrance and whilst we were waiting for a family to finish taking theirs. i nicked my sisters red lollipop (as a joke and as siblings do), lol and she went it was the only red one i had with a ☹️. The lady at the door heard her went and got her a red one. The whole interaction with everyone from start to finish was amazing. Now Birmingham has a number of nice restaurants but we have never experienced customer service like this. To the food, we ordered a mixture of starters, 2 mains and the family naan. All the food was cooked to perfection and was really lovely. Price wise i would say its not on the cheap side but it also isn't on the expensive side either. And for the experience it is well worth it and you don't mind paying that. When we are in the area again we will definitely be coming here again. Thank you for the amazing service to all the staff and especially to Shoaib. Good food and good service what more can a person ask for. 🙂”

  “Review: Lala (Family Trip with 14 People) We went to Lala as we’re from London and wanted somewhere special to visit for a family trip. In total, 14 of us went, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Food Really, really good—every dish we ordered was **10/10. Portions* were smaller compared to other places, but they were *spot on** and well balanced. Value & Atmosphere It was more expensive** than some of the other options. We felt the decor and overall vibe made it worth it—everything looked beautiful, and the place was very clean. Service & Group-Friendly The service was great throughout. It was perfect for big groups, and everything ran smoothly even with our larger party. We’ll definitely go again—it really was a memorable meal for the whole group.”

  “Service was 10/10. The staff are kind and very informative. The restaurant itself and the decor is stunning and the vibe is very homely/chilled. The food on the other hand is not the best for the price you pay. Maybe it was a one off but the meat balti had no taste/no spice. The chicken tikka balti was okay. The garlic naan was good. The lamb chops were the best thing there but not the best I’ve tried for the price. The grilled starter was very bland. Only thing good were the lamb chops. The food did take time to come out especially the mains but it was busy so makes sense. Hopefully on my next visit things are better as other reviews have been very good for this place.”

  “(Pudsey Bradford Branch) OUTSTANDING!!!! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! Zeeshan the manager was absolutely amazing! 🏆🏆👌 He was so kind, professional and efficient throughout the whole evening and whole experience. Consistent excellence from him and his whole team. Zeeshan was very hands on there was nothing he wouldn't do for his customers, he even refilled our water without us asking and provided extra napkins he did that on his own accord very attentive to his surroundings. He demonstrated such kindness towards my 3 year old daughter, he really went out of his way for her and I couldn't be more grateful for his actions, it touched my heart. From start to finish Zeeshan was amazing Ma'Sha'Allah he even brought over the hot towelettes when we finished with the mint chocolates and we didn't even need to wait long for the bill! No service charge either the price was very good for the amazing food too! His team were just as brilliant, very efficient, kind, friendly and professional. Older gentleman called Tariq was amazing what a beautiful mannered man. Each one looking exceptionally smart and their manners were just as beautiful. One of the best experiences I've had in a restaurant truly, the food was outstanding, fresh, flavourful and just beautiful. The family naan is amazing, the water jug is unique and keeps the water very cold. The decor is outstanding. The host with the flowers in her hair was so kind and professional she even took a family photo of us. I highly recommend this restaurant, one of the nicest curries I've had especially being south asain ourselves me and my husband rate the food 10/10. Thank you to Zeeshan and his team for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back In'Sha'Allah. 👌🏆💯♥️”

  “Hasnain (Nayni) provided excellent service, with all his dish recommendations being spot on and delicious. He is a very honest and hardworking member of the Lala’s team. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are friendly and attentive throughout your visit.”

  “Fantastic curry and service. Had a late night meal here and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a short wait to be seated and then we got to our table. The servers were really responsive and funny, they got us some popadoms and pickles quickly. Kept our glasses full. The mains were so good, the lamb handi was proper, on the bone and spicy and thick gravy. They did a lovely birthday treat and the desserts were lovely. Highly recommend.”

  “Lala offers truly good, authentic curry. The restaurant is spacious, and the staff is attentive and regularly checks on guests. We ordered a mixed starter, and the meat was tender and well-seasoned. For the main courses, we tried four different curries: chicken makhani, tikka masala, masala, and lamb curry. All three chicken dishes were very well prepared—the meat was soft, flavorful, and nicely spiced. However, the lamb curry was a bit disappointing. The meat tasted like it wasn’t very fresh, which affected the overall experience.”

  “Haven't been with anyone in a long time to eat at Lala's Restaurant, the restaurant looks good, on January 31st we arrived there about 8pm I think, it was really busy as soon as we entered alot of people waiting that's fine, so we told the lady near the entrance how long for a table for 2 people she said 30 minutes we said that is okay and she wrote down one of are names on her piece of paper. We waited for a table, more people came in whilst we where, it was getting more busier and the wait didn't seem long to get a table. We sat down at the table ordered starter first mixed grill starter for £28 with what we wanted to drink, later on the drinks arrived with the mixed grill starter, it was nice, warm and plenty to eat just for a starter, we both enjoyed are main courses, we didn't have a dessert. I have been before with people, it hasn't been that busy compared to when we went on January 31st at about 8pm. The menu is fully halal and I recommend Lala's Restaurant Leeds.”
