Lala's Restaurant Wakefield in Wakefield

A policeman recommended this restaurant as I was visiting for first time. Not disappointed. Fairly quiet at first but more customers came later. Waj the manager made me welcome. Young lady served me and smiled throughout. £15.99 for popadums starter main course coffee and mints. Ordered a Nan as an extra. It came the size of a large pizza. All the food was fantastic. Cobra was ice cold. Complimentary Baileys too. I saw some negative reviews when I checked on line. Must have been a bad night. Would certainly come again if ever in Wakefield again. Great restaurant. Well done Waj and your team keep smiling.

Such a great restaurant. Staff are wonderful and great building. Great food and value for money. 100% will go again.

Went on Friday night for a work event. The food was excellent and the staff did brilliantly well to cope with 25 of us.

Brilliant food. Don’ order the Naan unless you’re *very* hungry!!!

Popular place. Starters were generous and delicious. Chicken dhansak & seafood balti were ok but not best in town, and staff were too keen to push everyone to have the set menu, which is good value if you are all hungry enough.

The food was amazing. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Brilliant service. Would definitely go again.

Super place. Atmosphere was great, food was excellent. Service was great. Had a great time. From walking through the door to leaving, it was top notch. Menu has something for everyone whatever your tastes. Pricing is good too. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Gotta Admit Lalas Is Tbe Best Place For Food And Only The Best Of Hospitality Many Thanks Too Juniour For Looking Afuer The Whe Table,,Many Thanks Till Next Time!!!!!

Food was fantastic,as we're the staff , can see why they win the awards

Great service and value for money. All staff were very polite and couldn’t do enough for us.

swera was an amazing waitress,food was good

Swera was a great servicer and the food was excellent.

Swera was very attentive and it's genuinely the best service we've had all year anywhere. Lovely food, atmosphere too.

I recently dined at LaLa's in Wakefield and had a great experience. The food was delicious, with a great variety of flavours and beautifully presented dishes. The restaurant had a warm and modern atmosphere. We had excellent service from Swera. She was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcome and well looked after. We’ll definitely be returning!

Me, my mother in law and my 3 children went out to eat tonight and the service in this place is fantastic my 9 month old decided to have a screaming temper tantrum of course and threw my food onto the floor that was just sat down and these guys immediately replaced what she had thrown, and the gentleman serving our table was the most polite, kind and all around amazing person he offered to calm and have my daughter so that I could eat! And the food itself is fantastic! Will definitely be coming back but maybe child free next time😂 thank you so so much to the guy in these pictures! (He needs a raise) X

I absolutely love it here! The food is delicious and the portion sizes are excellent. The service is brilliant too. Our server Swera was impeccable tonight, I haven’t had service that good in a long, long time.

We ordered a takeaway through just eat. Nothing out of the ordinary, meat biryani and a garlic naan. It asked if we wanted curry sauce or raita, whenever I have bought a biryani inn the past, it just says a sauce. I thought this was an extra sauce so ordered raita. It arrived. What a disappointment, very dry rice and mutton. The ‘raita’ did nothing for it, I wasn’t enjoying it so thought I’d fill up on naan bread. It was cold and greasy, I have eaten at Lalas many times but will never bother with a take away. I’ll buy a meal deal from Asda.

Fantastic venue. Food and service superb. Can't wait to visit again. Outstanding.

Never tried this place before.. probably due to the fact we went to the one at Batley a long time ago which was terrible! The difference between the two is like night & day! Ok it was quiet but the service was superb. Food fantastic, couldn’t fault one thing 👌🏼

Staff are so friendly and go above and beyond. Food is incredible!

Fantastic service. Abdu and his colleagues was responsive and attentive throughout. And great with my daughter. Food was tasty, good portion sizes. Would recommend and defintely will be back.

The food is mediocre. You can't trust their labeling of allergens. Not many vegan options. They tried to scam us out of £200, and made us wait around 20 minutes while we went through the bill item by item, having been very pushy for us to just pay and leave without checking.

Great service .. Amazing food …

Fantastic service, quick and friendly. The food was delicious and the biggest naan bread you’ve ever seen!

The best Nan bread I’ve ever had 😀

Best Indian restaurant in Wakefield, cannot recommend enough, friendly staff and great food. A must visit in Wakey.

What a great evening. Flew from Oz to havegreat meal. I am a bigger guy, liking my food. But I could not eat a full portion with a garlic bread. Great place and the staff were awesome too. Thanks guys. 🇦🇺

Service and staff excellent as always

Perfect service from everyone, food spot on. 10/10 everything

Food was outstanding, I was so pleased with the service I received from the staff. Great service, excellent experience ! Recommended to everyone! Dishes I tried "Chicken Bhuna, Fish Badalti and Lala's special dishes were amazing. Love to visit again !

The waiter that served us called Mohamed was absolute amazing and the food was 10/10. He recommended the chef's special, a mouthwatering dish that exceeded all expectations. Mohamed's attentive service and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience. We left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and eager to return for another exceptional meal.

Absolutely gorgeous meal and amazing service! Swera was so lovely!

The waiter spilled soft drinks on my mother and instead of apology the manger said “accident happens “ that attitude was enough to put me off it ruined the whole experience also service was so poor and slow food was not good when we asked for switch the music off they refused and refused to offer us a place to pray Very bad experience it ruined my day I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

We really loved dining at lalaswakefield. From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was very well handled. I appreciate the team for putting together such a good experience. Thank you lalas

I would like to thank Lalas Wakefield for the wonderful hospitality and delicious food which made the ceremony worth enjoyable. I must mention that all the arrangements were done perfectly and thanks to manager and your professional staff.

Absolutely loved our visit to lalas.food was amazing,staff were fabulous,attentive and friendley.will definately be back soon.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Averyhting was authentic food and drinks.

Great food. Love the mixed starter. Mainly have take out

I am normally a madras man, but I went with the owners recommendation and it was a beautiful meal, not too hot and very tasty. Perfect meal, thank you 😊

Excellent service and great food. Abdul really looked after us.

Outstanding food and service! They even offer you a doggy bag if you can't eat everything! The portions are huge and so delicious ! Will definitely be returning!

Hamad was a great waiter and service was amazing!

Taste is awesome. Humble staff.

Been here before and enjoyed the food , this time the starters were really nice but the main was far too salty and the chicken tasted like it had been reheated , being really dry. Won't be returning , there are far better indian restaurants nearby.

This is the worst take away we have ever had I will never order from them again

This was the worst meal I have had from Lala's, cold chips, watery Veg Makhani, I ordered 2 Makhani so I could have one another night, wasted money! One Makhani was wrapped in foil the other wasn't, why?

We recently hosted a party for 30 people at Lala's Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for our celebration. The staff was exceptionally attentive and made sure every detail was taken care of. They went above and beyond to accommodate our large group with grace and efficiency, ensuring that everyone felt welcome and comfortable. Now, let's talk about the food - it was simply divine! Every dish v., a burst of authentic Indian flavors, beautifully presented and perfectly spiced. From the delectable starters to the sumptuous main courses and the delightful desserts, each bite was a culinary delight. The variety of dishes catered to all palates, including those who preferred milder options and those who enjoyed a bit of heat. Special mention to the butter chicken and the biryani, which were crowd favorites! The naans were freshly baked and complemented the rich curries perfectly. The attention to detail in the food preparation truly showcased the chef's expertise and passion for Indian cuisine. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the wonderful time they had. The combination of excellent service, mouth-watering food, and a vibrant atmosphere made our party at Lala's a tremendous success. We highly recommend Lala's for any gathering, big or small. It's a gem of a restaurant that delivers an exceptional dining experience. We will definitely be returning soon!

Visited on Friday for the first time and wow! The food was fantastic, great flavour and perfect portion sizes. The staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for us. It was my brothers birthday and they kindly gave him a birthday cake and sang to him which was a lovely gesture. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Indian food. Will definitely be going back! I don’t usually comment on reviews but after having a look at one review in particular of the party of 16 who were a few tables down from us they did come across fairly rude, as they left they refused to pay and claimed they were overcharged and didn’t bother mentioning their issue to the manager as you should so it could be resolved. The manager and staff were brilliant coming around to our tables to check everyone was happy with their food and service.

Party of 16 ppl been tonight for my 50th birthday. Poppadoms (yesterday's) not fresh n crisp. No hand wipes/chocs given to any of us after meal... usually do! Paying for bill at end man was rude n think we been over charged.. not happy with service at all tonight n we come alot for special dates. dont think we will be coming again. Shame as food nice.

Eaten here a few times now and I can’t fault it.. Food & Service is a 10/10 And I’m a bit of a food critic haha

Excellent meal 22nd April, food amazing staff so polite and very helpful. Lovely boss had a long chat excellent start to finish

The maganer and service at this restaurant are exceptional. Attentive, accommodating and professional, they elevate the dining experience with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. Highly recommended!!!!!

Staff friendly,excellent service & good food

Don’t get me wrong it’s lovely place, but after been going a couple of times it’s was cracking but now its too overly priced, and the food wasn’t as nice as before,

Had the best experience. Served by Saf. Went out of his way to make us feel very welcomed and comfortable. Excellent service. Would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the restaurant.

Lovely meal and fantastic service as always.

Lovely curry n pleasant service always made to feel welcome

We go here for date night and every time we love the food.

I loved learning about the culinary art that is developed there. The variety is excellent. The service is exquisite and the mystical flavors are interesting.

The food was amazing, I had to take some home and had it the next day and it was still amazing

Used many many times are always been spot on however I ordered on the 12th Feb, the food was inedable and thrown away. Due to the delay in delivery times was too late for more food to be delivered therefore we agreed to a refund of £25.30 however still not received. Lost a very regular customer due to such poor service.

Went to this great Indian restaurant last night. There were 14 of us (we were all working at the Theatre Royal next door). I had booked a table for us all at 10.00pm as the show finishes at 9.40. Th staff and manager were so accommodating, all of our food arrived at the same time and every one enjoyed their dish. The menu is not run of the mill high street Indian, yes, there are the old favourites on the menu, but there are a lot of dishes I have never seen before. I went for the Karahi Gost, chicken in a rich sauce with spices. It was wonderful. The naan breads are massive and brought to you on a vertical stand. On top of this the price of the various dishes are so reasonable (compared to London where most of us come from). Excellent well cooked food and great service. It's a must !!!

The food is the best for miles. I’ve dined and also take out. When you have a takeaway that’s nearly as good a being inside then you know you have a great place. I’ve only ever had the chicken tikka balti here and don’t want to change it yet. The family garlic naan is a beaut too. My only criticism is the lighting is too bright and decor too modern for me. I like my restaurants to be authentic looking and/or a bit quirky. This doesn’t take away the amazing food though. A real success story

Special thanks to Hamad for his kind and attentive service !

Best Indian Restaurant in Yorkshire. Food was excellent, reasonably priced. We all had so much we took home leftovers for lunch.

Great service great food, manager khan was very friendly and humble will be back soon.thumbs up guys.you doing a good job.

used to order here all the time asked for normal chappati always give naans they have inexperienced staff working that can’t take orders lalas get it right please

Visited for the first time, would definitely visit again

This was without a doubt the worst meal I’ve ever had in my life and ended up with stage 2 salmonella. Ended up in hospital on a drip and had no response from the restaurant if I could I would give this place a minus score. People of Yorkshire if you like your life do not eat from here

We’ve been to LaLas a few times and every experience has been fantastic. The food is lovely and service impeccable. We thank Abdul for taking good care of us 🤩

One of the best curries in Wakefield me and my friends came to Lala’s restaurant for the first time and OMG the service was spectacular the food was great starters and main course the manger WAJ and SAREEN made us feel very welcome and overall enjoyed the night out

Best quality food. Very helpful staff. Definately recommend! Saf the waiter was brilliant. Thank you.

Amazing experience …. Brilliant food and excellent service especially by Saf. Will definitely come again. Thank you

Called here for out tea before a concert in Wakefield, food was amazing, staff very attentive, lovely setting. Will definitely call again.

Fantastic experience and great food

Wonderful meal in an extremely welcoming atmosphere .My partner loves fresh coriander and there was plenty of it in the meal and the Coriander and Garlic Naan .Abdul our waiter was very cordial , attentive and efficient. Will be back.

Omg you got to try this place absolutely banging.. already looking towards going again.. Indian food is here 😋

Excellent restaurant. Greeting 5/5 Service5/5 Decor and cleanliness 5/5 Food 5/5 Overall an excellent experience and would definitely recommend to others and visit again. My only slight negative was that the pickle tray was lacking choice and a bit bland on the other hand the popadoms were very good, fresh and tasty.

First time at the Wakefield Lala’s, probably the best lala’s I’ve had. Service , food atmosphere was fantastic. A well run curry house. Great to see SAV, he’s fantastic at his job and absolutely credit to Lala’s. After many years of going to batley Lala’s this is probably the best one. Batley has just slowly gone down hill and missed all the great people who worked and left over the years. The guy who runs it with the blue shirt at Wakefield definitely knows how to run a smooth restaurant. Very nice man. Definitely be back was Amazing. Great fish masala. Lovely evening to finish off 2023.

Visited new years eve good food , good atmosphere , huge portions , will be returning !

Visited restaurant unexpectedly and without a booking and although we could clearly see the place was very busy and not many spare tables we were greeted by Waj and the team with smiles and made welcome. Quickly a table was found prepared for us and a drinks and poppadoms order was served to the table. A lovely evening was enjoyed by all with fabulous food and great service from all the staff. Thanks Lalas for a evening to remember.

Fantastic meal. The service we received from both Rishi and Abdul was faultless. They are a credit to the restaurant

As a true lover of the hotter curries I ordered a vindaloo having my expectations heightened by a choice of medium or hot. In good time service delivered all good food which was exceptional as was the attitude and attentiveness of all staff however, whilst my curry was flavorful and well balanced even presented as preferred with smaller cuts of meat that heat we thrive on was but a 6/10. Nevertheless, we will endeavour to visit again when next in Wakefield although a request for a phall might be required to reach the desired 10/10! Well done good people, thank you for taking care to honour our mother also. Respect, humble Scousers.

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food was very tasty with large portions. My brother asked for a vindaloo Asian style - he enjoyed it for taste and flavour but gave 6/10 for heat!! We’ll definitely be back!

We had Xmas dinner it was great friendly atmosphere great service we will be back again soon many thanks again

We had Christmas lunch at Lala’s. It was busy when we arrived (12noon), but very well organised and we were soon seated. We had a great waiter and all staff were lovely and very attentive. We couldn’t fault the food - everything was lovely. We’ll definitely be back!

Came to La La;s for Christmas day fantastic food, good service super friendly staff, great manager. Thank you all staff at la La;s for making our Christmas day fantastic.

Just back from lala's Wakefield Christmas lunch food was amazing as always staff was excellent was made to feel very welcome. We will be back next Christmas and plenty of times before.
