LaLe Turkish Restaurant in Highland

Beautiful food. Friendly service. We went for early dinner at 430pm. We were the only people in and it was nice to have some peace. Food was well cooked and delicious chargrilled. We had mezze trio to start. The tzatziki was amazing 😍

Went there for sons 40th, table nicely decorated for occassion. Absolutely amazing food, service and staff brilliant, thank you so much. Highly recommend.

A must-place to visit! I'm originally from Greece glad that I found this place in Inverness!! This is all about good quality food and great customer experience. The food was amazing 👏 I had Lamb Sautee for the main and calamari for the starter - awesome 👌 The lamb sautee as described on the main menu is a traditional Turkish dish that was amazing 👏 I'm not a big fan of lamb but I am very curious as a person to try traditional dishes and one thing I can say for sure I haven't regretted it!! Thank you for the whole experience and most importantly bring me memories from my childhood through your dishes ❤️

Visited today.What a great restaurant in Inverness.Food was fantastic and the owner and staff were lovely.I would certainly recommend.Their pub which adjoins (The Phoenix )sells great cask beer. Make a point of just walking that little few hundred yards (metres) from the centre and you wont be disappointed.

This place was a surprise in both we were not expecting to eat Turkish food in Scotland and also because it was so incredible. The food was fresh and spiced just right. The atmosphere of the place was nice and the service was very friendly.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a special ceremony at LALE TURKISH RESTAURANT and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by an elegant and beautifully designed space. The ambiance was perfect—intimate yet grand, with soft lighting and tastefully arranged décor that created a warm, inviting atmosphere. The ceremony itself was seamlessly executed, thanks to the attentive and professional staff who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They were gracious, attentive to every detail, and made sure that we felt completely taken care of throughout the event. As for the food—absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu offered a delightful variety of options, each prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Whether everything was impeccable. Overall, LALE turkish restaurant exceeded all expectations for both the event and dining experience. If you're looking for a venue that combines breathtaking ambiance, top-notch service, and incredible food, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! THANK YOU FUNDA❤️

We were advised by the landlord of our accommodation and the truth is that the food was very delicious

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here tonight. Great service, lovely fresh food, and reasonably priced.

We had the tzatziki, Lamb Sautée and Chicken Sautée. All were incredible in flavour. Some of the most tender lamb I've ever had, and a complex sauce.

The tastiest Turkish food in the town. Great services .Friendly staff .

Really a good restaurant for halal food in Elgin but was quiet in the late afternoon very helpful manager

I am a regular customer and I would give this place a 5 star review when the manager is present , she is a very nice lady, but when she is not in the restaurant the service drops so my last visit was not as nice as the ones before. But still the food was perfect 👌.

Yummmy, tasty, perfectly cooked, plate full. and I do mean plate full, of tender lamb chops. While not "officially" on the menu, except as part of a mixed grill, the staff and chef was happy to oblige. Why is decent lamb or mutton so hard to find in Scotland with all these sheep about? This award winning restaurant delivered. Seems to be only dried out lamb shank at Scottish restaurants. The tzatziki was 10 out of 10 as well. Teşekkür ederim.

Great variety of dishes. The lamb iskender was very tender and in a great sauce. The sea bass was super fresh and came with really yummy vegetables. Everything was perfectly cooked. The portions were very generous. And food was served piping hot! (My pet peeve is being served lukewarm food!) Truly wonderful first meal in Inverness!

A warm setting inside the restaurant with friendly and timely service. The food itself was truly amazing! Very fresh and flavorful.

Perfect relaxing dinner after a day of sight seeing. Try the lamb stew, it was amazing

Nice restaurant with a friendly owner and delicious food. Food was a little spicy but we enjoyed it. They offered appetizers on the house which was nice.

I had heard such great things about this place and was really looking forward to enjoying Turkish cuisine in Inverness. I really wanted to love it! However, the food I had was average at best and didn’t seem freshly prepared to order or as delicious as other Turkish meals I have had in the past. For the premium prices charged, I expected much better.

Pros: - Attentive service-minded staff. (Especially, Funda! the wonderful person who served us the best experience.) Thank you!!! - Great dishes with its beautiful presentation. - Cozy atmosphere. - Choices of dishes with its deliciousness. Highly recommended when you travel around in Inverness. Cons: -

Choosing a location for our team Christmas night out is always tricky with 45 people between 16 and 80, but this was wonderful. Funda and her team could not have been more accommodating from the initial booking, menu planning and service on the night. We did some sharing platters to start which everyone loved. Main courses and puddings were a hit with the whole team and no-one left hungry. We have since been back as a family and again food and service were outstanding. This is a hidden gem in Inverness and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had booked La Le for dinner on Monday 19th February. Unfortunately, it was in entire darkness when we arrived at 7pm and remained so for the 10 minutes we waited. Finally we gave up and ate at Mangrove, which was delicious and I can thoroughly recommend.

Delicious food and friendly service

Funda is the best thing that happened to Inverness hospitality. Always looking after her customers, sharing her accolades with them, and if you listen to her food philosophy you will understand why she has achieved them. Anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine won't be dissatisfied. Sea bass is to die for!

Absolutely lovely meal and excellent service. Wide choice of dishes.Definately returning. Best Turkish we've had in Inverness in a long time.

Went in about an hour before they closed and got great fast service. It was a nice break from the pub food we'd been having on our trip. The staff was friendly, the decor cozy, but most importantly, the food was delicious.

Amazing food and really friendly staff.

Food was delicious & staff were wonderful.

Absolutely amazing! When in Inverness, this place and cinnamon are the best! Delicious aubergine casserole and highly recommend halloumi to dip! Everything is tasty and fresh! go here!!!

Warm environment and warm service. The seafood and barbecue combinations are juicy and delicious

The food was absolutely incredible. The service was great too. A very friendly atmosphere, like visiting a long-lost Turkish family.

Not having been able to get a gables as aspendos we tried this one We had the aubergine £19 and the meze. Wow Lidl does better meze! And the aubergine was very sweet and not very flavoursome. Having seen the great reviews we thought to give it a shot. It looks good Staff friendly Food a let down Beside the fish and chips which was nice. You live and learn It looked hopeful before we tried P.s. I hope we find a homeless person for the bag

Very nice place to have dinner. Friendly staffs

Went to Lale this evening for the first time. Warm welcome from the lovely owner. Mezze served promptly, lovely warm bread and plenty of dips. Great menu with plenty of delicious options. Excellent Turkish coffee too.

Have been here before and it was just as amazing as always. The welcome and the service was outstanding so friendly could not do enough for us. And the food was fantastic the flavours are still having a party in my mouth. If you have not been here before you need to try it highly recommend it.

A few streets up from the river, this restaurant was nearly empty on a Thursday night after we tried four others that were full and couldn't seat us for 1-2 hours without a reservation (poor planning on our part)! I have no idea why it was empty but feel very lucky to have gotten the place to ourselves. Service was quick (obviously), and the food was GREAT. We had the Haloumi, lamb iskender, and chicken shish. All were excellent, flavorful, and just what we needed after a long, rainy, windy day of driving.

The best restaurant in Inverness 👌 Staff are really great, friendly. Place is nice and clean and food... Food was like magic ❤️🍲

Food was delicious, great ambience and good service. Even the fries taste good. The lamb sautéed was excellent.

Great food and service. Will come again.

First time we visited this place. Nice location and very good ambience. Lot of games for kids and young children to play while adults can enjoy talking 😊 We enquired the place before reaching for reservation. Plenty of seating area here, mostly you will get a seat. Parking is free in the evening behind the restaurant. Food was okay, I had better taste food at other Mediterranean restaurants. Price seems to be more, may be it’s a tourist destination. Staffs were friendly, cleanliness was very good.

Great food and plenty of seating and nice service! Perfect spot when you want something different and don't want to fight the crowds off the main tourist corridor. I think the only reason this restaurant wasn't super crowded was the location, but it's worth going over just a few streets.

Delicious food and great service! Great for families too!

What a fabulous evening we had here recently. On arrival you are made to feel so welcome. From the minute we arrived the staff are so attentive. And the food was outstanding and so tasty. I couldn't find fault with anything and can't wait to go back when visiting again. Highly recommend x

Went to La Le for the first time last night, met up with a group of friends and we had such a lovely evening and had the best meal. I have a few dietary requirements, no problem. My meal was so tasty and plentiful. Little touches make it. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, Staff were friendly and the owner so welcoming. I will most certainly revisit and highly recommend this wee gem!! Thank 😊

I recently dine at la le and was thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes blending flavours and beautiful presentation.the Attentive and knowledgeable staff ensured that our meal was a memorable one . I can’t recommend La Le enough for fantastic dinning experience

Amazing food, nice, tasty large portions and the feeling of being really looked after, a place I'll definitely pay another visit in bright future as it is unquestionably worth it.

La Le is a fantastic restaurant. The service is great and the food is overwhelmingly good. Very fresh with a lot of greens and perfectly seasoned. Especially fish/seafood dishes are recommendable (they provide local fish mostly). Accordingly, the prices are high but acceptable.

This is easily some of the best food in the highlands. The people that run this place are extremely kind and we have never been disappointed in either the food or experience. We try to order from here at least once a month and we are always looking forward to it.

Such a good place! food is amazing - I had a baked aubergine which was the best I've ever had (even better than in the actual mediterranean!) Service was amazing, and would highly recommend the tzaziki with bread! You need to come here!

If you want an authentic, fresh, flavoursome food...this is the place to go in Inverness!!!! Amazing ambiance, super friendly staff and altogether a fantastic experience. We could not recommend it enough!!!

Tres cher pour ce que c'est. Tout ca pour payer 4 serveuses qui se font ch... A 100 sous de l'heure.

We booked a table tonight at 7. Arrived closed !!!!! Now in another restaurant

Great food, great service. First time I've been to a Turkish restaurant, I will be back.

Dip’s amazing!! Food was very good!! Bit pricey my only issue! But made up by staff! Owner absolutely amazing!! Almost 5 star! Thanks for a great night! Will be back x

After arriving by train in the evening, we found this gem. Absolutely delicious! My son had the mixed grill for one which had chicken and lamb which he said was very good. My husband had the chicken shish and I had the prawn shish - both of which were fantastic. Also don’t miss out on the tzatziki!!

We went to this restaurant, as the one we had planned to have dinner was closed. What a lucky occurrence. The food was amazingly good, service was excellent and everything was great. I had the lamb wrapped in bread with a delicious sauce, one of my friends had the halloumi skewers. We all agreed that it was really really good.

Nice Turkish restaurant eat on ace we have eaten at so far while visiting staff and owner very pleasant. I’d recommend if in the mood for Turkish food.

La relación calidad-precio no es buena. Comida muy cara para la calidad e incluso cantidad del producto. Por un trozo pequeño de salmón con verduras nos cobraron 30 euros. Pena puesto que el local es agradable al igual que el personal que trabaja en él.

Lovely friendly service nice atmosphere great food pleasure to dine hear

A hidden gem of Inverness!! The food was fantastic! And they were so sweet to us! When they found out we were on our honeymoon they gave us a special treat!! Thank you so much!!!

Cibo meraviglioso e personale molto accogliente

We ordered the vegetable casserole, the lamb casserole and haloumi chips. Casseroles were served with a small salad and rice. All delicious. Would totally recommend. Fresh and just what we needed after a cool day out sightseeing.

Français.. nous avons très bien mangé 1 fish and ship excellent 1 poulet mariné curry riz sde

I wish I had an option for less than 1 star here. Fake fancy looking Turkish restaurant which has no connection to Turkish cuisine. Tried their mixed grill and hummus. Hummus tasted bitter and mixed grill was dry as cardboard and reheated or microwaved. I even checked with the host if the chef is Turkish or even knows about Turkish cuisine. Reply was 'No, chef is not and food is different at different places' I also dropped a msg for the chef that if he/she ever visit London, I can make them hummus just so they know how it actually tastes. I liked the host's sarcastic reply that 'if you know how to make hummus why do you even order it here'

Worst experience ever for a Turkish restaurant. Tried their mix grill and it was sweet and not properly cooked and taste was more like an Indian restaurant rather than Turkish. Also it is very expensive, mix grill costs 26 pound. Total waste of money and tasteless. Will never recommend any one to go there.

Best service, very good food, family environment. for me the best food in Inverness. Very well and warm welcoming

We hebben hier erg lekker gegeten. Vooral een stoofschotel met lamsvlees was erg lekker. De bediening was snel en vriendelijk.

We aten twee vegan gerechten. Beide gebaseerd op aubergine. Helaas waren de groentes in beide gerechten behoorlijk doorgekookt en was het erg vet . Wellicht is dit de kookstijl van dit restaurant, maar het viel daarmee wel tegen.

Our dinner was very nice! We had a few different dishes and enjoyed them all - the seafood casserole was definitely a hit and I realy liked the lamb aubergene casserole. My husband had the King Prawn Shish and my other daughter had the Mix Grill. For appetizers we had the hummus (very good) and Halloumi (good, but not outstanding).

Had the mixed grill for 2, all the meat was tender and tastey, then the deserts were moorish. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. Really enjoyed our meal, will definitely be back

This restaurant that was undoubtedly the most delicious among the ones we've been to. We highly recommend their creamy mushroom soup. The owner is hospitable and the staff is friendly and welcoming. We definitely recommend this place

The surprisingly delicious dishes are a must try. We can't go anywhere else in inverness now. You should definitely try the creamy mushroom soup and creamy chicken. wonderfull ıce cream . The owner Mrs. Funda, is very friendly and hospitable.

Excellent service and fantastic food 👌 *****

Very disappointing ! Certainly not value for money from the early bird menu !(half a meal) Starters were incorrect, so whilst some of us had to eat ours while it was hot others had to wait until theirs was cooked and given the correct dish! When our mains arrived we were all amazed at how little we had on our plates ! (For A veggie option one skewer with approx 3 cubes of halloumi ! ) Fortunately we’d ordered sides ! However, these did not turn up until we’d finished our meal , so told them Not to bother bringing them ! Having eaten in many Turkish restaurants over the country I did not feel that this was value for money or very Turkish!!!!

Enjoyed the food which was tasty and served quickly. I found it a little over priced, for example, over £20 for a chicken shish. It was very quiet for a Friday night so atmosphere a bit lacking. Decor is very ‘pub lounge’.

My friends and I loved the ambience, good service and great PR.

This place is hands down to one of the best halal restaurants in Scotland. It has big variety of foods, not only Turkish but also western taste. It has very nice seafood and we also had a very delicious lasagna. The place is very convenient, amazing vibes, also very near to a big parking spot. The staff even allowed us to pray and give us a sheet for praying mat. All the best!

Went with friends for an evening meal. There were 7 of us with a large age range from children to pensioners. There was a good selection for everyone to choose something. The service was very efficient and prompt and the food enjoyed by everyone.

Great food and atmosphere. As always Funda and her team have delivered another great evening meal. Thank you 😊

Amazing place and very delicious foods.

Worst place I ever been. Do not eat here It’s Indian not Turkish Female waitress older woman was so rude to us and nasty because the meat was off basically ushered us out the door. Shocked a place like this exists

Large portions, good quality. Had a takeaway but staff were really nice and restaurant looked nice. Pricy but worth it.

Fantastic atmosphere Quick service, beautiful food Friendly, polite staff and very good PR Is my second time there and I’ve enjoyed the food and the wine The only thing I’m hoping to see is, more Turkish desserts than the classic British ones But both times...

Beautiful food. Excellent service

I had the Imam Bayildi - stuffed aubergine - and it was the best I'd ever had. I used to get it regularly when I lived in Paris. My husband had the lamb iskender and it was equally delish. We rounded off our meal with a chocolate orange cake (not too heavy on the orange) and Turkish tea. Delightful! The restaurant was quiet, unlike a lot of the restaurants we passed, and luckily reservations weren't required. The staff was great. Attentive, but not overly so. If I'm ever back in Inverness, I'm definitely going to make a point of eating here again!

Superb food and service throughly recommended. Lamb betyi was great Followed by the mixed grill Mind you there were 3 of us

Really good food, ordered lamb betyi on waitress’s recommendation, really good, never had anything like that before and will definitely be back for same again! Service was brilliant too!

What an amazing restaurant, we were there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The food was fabulous and the welcome and service was excellent. I’ll certainly be back and will recommend to friends.

Apologies to my countrymen but I cannot find good food in Scotland. Just about every international food option I have ever tried in this country has been "British-ised" and frankly I just gave up on trying "authentic" (Thai, French, whatever) food, because it doesn't taste how I remember food tasting in those countries. We decided to give this restaurant a shot and it is my new Inverness favourite. Nothing was soggy, food that I'm normally pickier about came out perfectly. Normally we have a fair bit of food waste because we eat until we're not hungry and then just stop because it's not as pleasant an experience as we would have liked - we ate all of this. My mum is visiting from out of town but did spend a few years growing up in Turkey and she absolutely loved this as well. The customer service was excellent (normally it feels like so many restaurants are being inconvenienced when they even take our order), and the portions were PERFECT. It was a pricey meal (£142 of food for six of us), but completely worth it. So often I end up with massive portions of food that isn't particularly good and last night I had the best meal I've had in probably a year, if I'm honest. So happy to have found this place and we will be back - probably often.

My husband and I were here for lunch about 2 weeks ago,don't seem to do a lunch menu anymore,but anyway we ordered 2 chicken shush and my husband had soup to start when the soup came it wasn't in a soup bowl it was in...

Can not wait to go back the food was out of this world the flavours were delicious you can tell the meat and vegetables were the best they could find and the service was fantastic our every need was met. The atmosphere was so relaxed....

Tried this restaurant last month on a visit to Inverness. The amazing aroma outside brought us to their door and we had to try it. Service was excellent and the food was of a very high standard. A lovely decorated, spacious restaurant. A true gem...

Absolutely amazing food!! The staff look after you!! Best place I’ve eat in Inverness yet!!! Funda was especially fantastic!! Highly recommend

Fantastic service and value for money, will definitely be back. Refreshingly amazing service, best place to eat in Inverness yet. Funda was the perfect host 😍😍

not a great experience, we have tried Turkish food in many places, I'd say this wasn't the best. we ordered grilled food it seemed the meats where pre cooked then grilled, or leftover and reheated again perhaps?!!!!didn't seem fresh, pricey for the size of portion too,

Visited recently, poor quality, leftover food , reheated and ridiculous price

Amazing food, fast service, nice atmosphere!

I think this is at least the 4th time we have been here, which clearly says something. If you want quality, fresh, authentic cuisine, this is the place to come. We will continue to return.

We stopped in here on a whim and were absolutely delighted! The service was great, the ambience was romantic and the food was incredible. We both had lamb dishes that were plentiful and delectable. The lamb and aubergine casserole was incredible the aubergine had a...

First time to try this new restaurant in Inverness. Recommended by family member. Booked using on line system. Many attentive staff. Never felt rushed or neither did we feel we were waiting for food. Every dish was as described, good size portions and enjoyed. Reasonably...

A very tasty meal with helpful, calm efficient waiting staff. The atmosphere was great, just enough background noise to provide a buzz but not so loud you couldn't carry on a conversation. The food was delicious and came quickly, but was freshly cooked. The flatbread...
