Lala's Restaurant Leeds in Leeds

Great food, nice staff and nice venue

Be aware if travelling in a large group. There were six families that traveled last night, waiter didn’t allow us to order as individual families, don’t know why, we even offered to write down six lots of orders for him, so it was one big noisy mess when food was coming out, trying to figure whose is whose, and when bill came we’ve been overcharged by at least £150, there were at least two cheesy kebab portions no1 could account for at least 6 drinks no1 ordered as well as god knows what, all added to the long long receipt. 🧾 it was manic! It was past midnight everyone just wanted to get out, kids were so fed up and tired so we just paid the extra and left. Just stay vigilant if travelling as a large family

Great place for desi dining and lunch.. went with group of friends for dinner. Ordered paneer Tikka,shammi kebab and chicken Tikka for starters.. paneer Tikka was not that great ,but chicken Tikka and shami kebab were good.. for mains ordered chicken biryani,chicken karahi,chicken jalfrezi, chicken Rogan gosh and veg balti.. best was chicken karahi,followed by Rogan Josh, jalfrezi was good but not as great as chicken karahi and chicken Rogan josh.... Veg balti was ok ok.. overall great food , amazing service and ambience.. highly recommended.. quality food with good quantity and taste.. worth your time and money.. would go again for sure..

Amazing food! Great staff and easy to park! The fish is amazing!

Had a meal with family here last night what a great place food was outstanding and staff very friendly and attentive owner came and asked if we enjoyed our meal which to me shows he cares about his business had a great chat with him highly recommend this place

Lovely meal as always at Lala’s. Great food, attentive staff and very friendly owners who treat customers like old friends. We were served by Ahsan who was very friendly and attentive.

10/10 for Zee who served us at lalas a credit to the company!

Excellent meal, service, ambience all was fantastic

Zi gave excellent service throughout the time we have been, have never been more pleased with a meal before.

Efficient friendly service, all food very tasty good portion sizes.

Having returned to the UK for a short visit, a family Birthday celebration for my Wife shared with our daughter, husband, and young grandchildren. Very friendly welcome from staff and seated promptly. They were particularly good with my young granddaughter, who can be pretty demanding! Food was absolutely amazing,starters and mains recommended by our tremendous waiter nani, I had so many questions to ask about certain dishes as I am gluten free and dislike spices but our waiter had a answer and solution for it all very very impressed in how trained he was.All in all a lovely evening, would definitely come back.

Food is average nothing special. And prices are extortionate! Also pls put the music low it's way too loud, gave me a headache..

Lovely food and service! Zee took care of us from the beginning and was extremely kind with everything and gave us the best service. Will come back again because of Zee :)

I went here with 4 friends for the first time for my birthday. We all enjoyed our meals (we only ordered mains). It was great value for money and reasonably priced. The waiter was helpful and didn't rush us. They even bought me a free pudding out with a sparkler candle in it as it was my birthday. I would definitely come back!

Superb service from Nohmaan! Really enjoyed the night.

NoMan was a great service to our table polite and very kind would recommend asking for him

Excellent, friendly and attentive service from Shoaib. Thank you so much for looking after us. Amazing food as per usual, big thanks to the chefs. All staff were very accommodating for a wheelchair user who was in the group too. Will definitely be back 😊

Good food, lovely staff been now for the last 4 weeks on the trot superb.

Had a brilliant night at LaLa's. Thank you Hassan for amazing service!

Great meal, great service from Hassan :)

Such a gorgeous restaurant and amazing food! Hassan was amazing with the children helping us keep them entertained so we could enjoy our food. Would 100% reccomend thankyou.

Food was outstanding, service from Jamal was first class. We are looking forward to visiting Lala’s again very soon

Wonderful food in the best Asian restaurant for miles. Fantastic friendly service from Shoaib whose explanations of the dishes and recommendations were spot on. I will certainly have the same again on our next visit. A lovely anniversary celebration. Thanks to all at Lala's.

First time there and food was too spicy and even we said it should be less spicy/ Medium. Prices on sky, 4£ for just a small bottle of 7up. Definitely not coming again.

We went to this restaurant for my mums birthday all the way from Newcastle and the service and food was amazing, the staff were really helpful and kind to us all and provided us the best service we’ve had. 100% recommend going, you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be back again - Maya

Excellent evening all round. Great food, ambience and fantastic service. Jamaal who was our waiter who looked after us, was attentive and very professional. Highly recommend this place and would go as far as saying best food and service ive ever had. See you again, next time we are up north.

Great restaurant with quality food. I absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere and, of course, the delicious food. Will definitely recommend this restaurant 👌

Good service by Jamal👍🏼 , made us feel very welcome It was our first time and he made our stay very great, recommended us all our food and helped us out through the whole stay. Good job

First time here absolutely fantastic food service surroundings top notch food very fresh and served hot best curry in ages

Best food and exceptional service even on a busy Saturday.

People are accommodating and friendly. The food - excellent. The atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable . In a nutshell, a favourable taste of the Indian sub continent without my having travelled 250 miles from my home land of Wales!

Amazing food and very nice friendly people . Hassan was very nice attentive worker

Hassan and Jasmin were top class. WARAGI!!!

Amazing as always..Hassan was great 👍

Fab food and service thank you! Hasn't was great

Great food, lively atmosphere & fab service from Sohaib!

Waiter who served us was Hassan, he made sure we was taken care of well.

Excellent food excellent service, our server Hassan was brilliant 👏 we'll be back soon!

Nice food and experience. Excellent service by Hassan. Very attentive and went the extra mile.

Good food, great service and amazing prices

I booked Lalas for my graduation party and they did not disappoint. The whole process was smooth thanks to Uncle Shahid. The food and service was perfect and the whole evening was an amazing experience for me and my guests. 10/10!!!

The food was lovely and the services. Jamal was amazing and friendly.

The food was amazing and the service was very good. Jamal was a very friendly and nice person. Helped us out when we needed things.

we came here for a birthday meal our waiter, Jamal was very nice and friendly and amazing

Went here for the first time for my birthday . The food was absolutely amazing, large portions and reasonably priced had so much food left we had to get the rest to take home which they were very kind to arrange for us. My only issues were it was very noisy, I couldn't hear my friends talking it was so loud plus they were having building work done internally and eternally,which they didn't inform us of when booking our table . Would definatley go again but when the building work is finished.

Chicken tikka small, pickle tray didn’t order but cost £3 each

We went here with a party of six and this is the first time I have been. The food was lovely and the service at our table was second to none! The member of staff who looked after our table (Jafar) was really attentive and took photos of us all. He also took a video of us starting to dig in. This place is highly recommended.

Decided to come down after a recommendation from family . Got the mixed starters , defo recommend the lamb chops they were 10/10 . Ordered butter chicken and lamb Karachi they were both great but butter chicken was the better one for me . Loved how staff went extra mile for us the staff member Zee was very friendly and made us feel at home , provided immaculate service and hospitality throughout . The restaurant is very high end and furnished beautifully but be aware this place ain’t cheap ahah

The best curry house around i drive from across Leeds to the place as I've not found anywhere that can cook a better meal than this establishment

This place is Amazing! Beautiful food, staff are attentive and very welcoming, couldn't fault anything. The owner praised all his staff & he runs a slick very motivated team. He knows exactly how a place should be run. Brilliant 👏 💯

Zeeshan Khaadim was amazing. Helped us from start to finish. What an amazing guy. Needs a praise from management.

I payed quite a lot of money and I didn’t like the food the taste was not their also wasted my time came from far as well

Customer service was good. Food was rubbish. Paid 360 for food with no taste. Not happy. W come again.

Me and the kids love all the food from starters to dessert

Great evening meal at Lala’s, very tasty food as always. Fantastic & attentive service from Hayder. Would highly recommend eating in or takeaway service.

We went to have Eid dinner and had so high expectations as we heard so much about the place. The lady at the reception told us the waiting was about 30 min which then lasted for more than an hour. The restaurant was very busy naturally but it would have been nicer if they communicated with us the real waiting time or gave us drinks or any complementary stuff while waiting especially since we had kids with us and they got so bored and were starving. When we got to the table the first waiter was so rude with us and was turning his eyes when we asked for his recommendations. We then had another waiter Hassan who took care of us and was very friendly and sweet especially with the kids. If it wasn’t for him our experience would’ve been so different and this goes to how service makes a big difference in the customer journey. Thank you Hassan so much your kindness and professionalism which didn’t go unnoticed and if we visit again know it is because of you.

Food was ok nothing special well over priced for what is was £4:00 for a child apple juice is a joke will not be going back

Best curry I've had friendly service

First time at Lala's and WOW the food was amazing and first class hospitality. Our waiter Alasan was professional and so friendly. The owner of Lala's introduced himself and we had a quick and friendly chat. So for me and my wife the Lala's restaurant is the king of Curry's and we can't wait to return. A BIG thank you again 👍

Absolutely applaud at the bill tonight at this restaurant, we only got starters and one main. Bill came to £164.80! Absolute joke! We celebrated our aunties birthday here, we bought a cake out and offered some to the staff, we really got along, they even asked us for more cake, we gave them 5 slices of cake, we then suggested they give us complimentary tea as we gave soo much cake which I think is fair, practically fed all the staff. We got 6 cups of tea which they charged us £21?!! We suggested there must be something wrong as the bill was so high, the waiter took the bill and added another £10 on? It’s an absolute joke Not even paid them prices in central London. They gave us pickle trays which we didn’t ask for and then charged us £7 for them and kept bringing the menu back out asking us to order mocktails and more food. We kept declining but I think they took advantage as we were a group of women. Imagine if we got mains and dessert too? Would be extortionate

Service was great. But food was a let down

Food was amazing and the staff provided an incredible service. We were served by Hassan. Well done for your knowledge on the menu and your assistance, Hassan!

Absolutely gorgeous food and service was second to none

absolute masterclass of a restaurant. ostentatious from the decor to the way the naans come out but it deserves to be. very tasty and easy to spend hours eating here. all food very tasty and good value. would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Poor, poor service & food. 2 hours from ordering to delivery! Rang numerous times to be told it would be 10 minutes, after 3 phone calls it finally arrived & when it did finally arrive the food was cold and had clearly been sat for some time. Will not be ordering again!!!!!

Lovely curries, good atmosphere.. waiter did keep asking how it was every 5mins though! Which was okay did get a little annoying when eating! But other than that decent

Excellent service excellent food beautiful restaurant would deffently recommend

The waiter who served us, I believe he was called Ahsaan was so so attentive. Give him a raise 🙏

Oily and monotonous food. Highly over-rated. Horrible food at delivery.

Everything about our meal out was fantastic. We visited at the weekend with family and our 2 boys aged 3+5. The food was amazing. The service was one of best we've had in the UK. Our waiter Arsalan couldn't do enough for us and the boys. From recommending what would be good for them, to being friendly, keeping an eye on drinks and topping up/asking if we wanted more and keeping the boys interested and entertained. We can't wait to come back!

Came to lala's to eat fantastic food, service and atmosphere was amazing. Was served by Habib really looked after us. Was a great experience looking forward to come again.

hassan top waiter service with a big smile

Hassan was very funny and nice x

Excellent service. Decent food but not the best butter chicken had better at Akbars and Tipu Sultan. Nice looking place excellent staff huge naan so be careful. Excellent lamb chops. Decent curries but gets a 4* I feel like they could have been more hot. Probably not the best time to go for atmosphere (late). Was not that busy around 10:30pm on a Saturday and that looked a bit concerning. Honest opinion. Akbars Leeds Road is the go to place for us. Only been to this place and Akbars once.

If u don't like it very spicy warn the waiters!!! Other then that everything 5* especially the service!!!!

Great service, food was 10/10 highly recommend

Food is amazing be careful with pricing they did charge use more for each item than was displayed on their menu might be a recent change yet to update. But food is to die for!! Service us amazing as always please bare in mind they are fast paced but done feel rushed they are busy place and just want to keep on top of everything. Atmosphere is very loud but depending on where you sit it can be quieter.

Place was good however got recommended the pan flavour and it was horrible 😫

Always amazing when I come here have not had a bad meal to date, sad that I only discovered Lalas 2 years ago and not any sooner. Food is absolutely amazing!! The masala fish is to die for, my go too every time, it's packed with Indian flavours and spices unlike most other restaurants. The venue is beautiful but it is very busy, so you might find yourself weaving in between tables if you need the loo. Staff are always lovely and helpful despite looking like they should be run ragged with how busy it is, and the service is super fast too.

Starters came cold , when notifying the manager once we’ve ate it we notified him just to give him a heads up and he left rude remarks saying we should have said it before , showed poor body language and was rude , waiters was very nice and was their to help. Please have a word with the manager

Wow food is so tasty and quality i like it

Lovely food, hot and fresh. Would say I liked this better than Akbar's. Pictured: butter chicken, cheesy seekh kebab, fish/chicken pakora, strawberry mojitos. As others have commented too, the let down is the state of the restaurant itself- a bit run down, and we had to complain about the toilets, which is really concerning (given we came within the first hour of opening).

Excellent service felt looked after but not rushed excellent food

Most awfull food ever had at lalaz starter lamb kharhi dall tarka made me stoimk infaction next day very very exp food qulty was not tht standerd

Exceptional service from Zee. Very kind and friendly. amazing with children too.

Food and service here is great, arrived with no prior booking and was told 20 minutes to wait but only waited 10 before going to the table. Served promptly. Chicken shami kebabs are amazing as was our mains, mushroom rice and gigantic garlic naan. Highly recommend

Fantastic food will come here again

After the failure of another restaurant we then went to another place to have a meal and it was good. I had to start a Chicken dish. If I will be honest I think the dish was too cheesy and I expected it to be more spicier than it was (to me if I didn't know I was in a curry house I would have thought it was an Italian dish). Then we had the mains and they were nice. I had a chicken and Keema balti with naan. This was very nicely made and the food was spicy but not too much to be overpowering. The naan's are gigantic and although they are thin texture wise they were too much for me to each so be mindful when you order this (however that being said the presentation is fantastic). A little bit noisy and because we were sat by the door I felt a little cold but on the whole it was pretty good and the people who served us were very generous and welcoming to us.

The wait for the table was long despite having a table of 9 pre-booked but that’s to be expected for a Saturday night. Mr. Jafer was appointed to our table and his customer service was excellent and very welcoming. We were unsure of what to get, but his vast knowledge was very valuable as he recommend us what to order and what to avoid, this transparency proved to be very helpful and the food was on time as well but please note, if you don’t say the spiciness level prior ordering their curries, it will be very spicy, apart from that it was a lovely experience

Service very poor, staff kept disappearing, we had to ask for side plates, the toilets were filthy, food was okay but not the best. The music far too loud to the point were shouting across to each other

Fabulous food. Could not fault anything but non alcoholic drinks are pricey.

First in on a Friday. Taken to a side room with worn out bench seats Commented that my chicken curry was lukewarm. Spent the night revisiting it and shaking like a leaf . Visited four times before this place has gone down hill rapidly over 60 quid for to be laid low with bad guts I'll not visit again Over priced and shabby

This place was phenomenal! First of all the staff were amazing. They were smart and very professional. Then the food... Wow! There were 5 of us, each had something different and we all enjoyed it! It is a little bit pricey, but that is for a good reason because the standard of service and the food was just brilliant. Definitely worth going!

Good food. Had a really good time.witj family and friends.

The food was bland and tasteless. I ordered coke but instead of telling me they don't serve coke they present me with a substitute. I didn't want to make a fuss because the restaurant was packed and we had alredy waited 25min to be seated.

Great food,attentive staff and huge portions.
