Lasun in South Tyneside

The food delivery is so slow, That you could get groceries, Cook and eat and still their order will not be ready. I guess competency is highly compromised on orders to Indians themselves.

Best curry we’ve for a long time and we have one a few times a month.

We have been eating at this restaurant for the last two to three years and if I had reviewed it year ago then it would have got a much higher rating. However, it seems to have changed subtly. The service not quite as good, the food a bit harsher and similar to Ocean rd. The fact that it was different was what made it for us. The best thing we had on our last visit was the chatri paneer starter but the two curries were very ordinary. We had a glass of wine apiece which should have been £7.95 each, but actually charged at £9.95. A fact we didn’t notice until later. Sorry, I don’t think we will be back.

One of my favourite restaurants

very pleasant delivery driver.

Excellent service, excellent food and not expensive. If you know South Shields you'll know there's a lot of curry houses, well this has to be the best. I've never had a tastier curry, beats anything you'd get down ocean rd. The staff are very friendly and actually seem to enjoy their job. I'll be back as Arnie says 🤣

Fantastic meal service was second to none thank you

Awesome, I’ll be back for sure 🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Unfortunately the Buna prawn on puree was very very salty and the service wasn't at its best, maybe just a bad night?

really good food but delivery was bad

Lovely curry but the madras was a little to hot

Only had a carry out, slightly dearer than others, bit of a wait but my wife said it's the best Rogan Josh ever, would recommend

Met here with friends. We all had different dishes and were very impressed. Unfortunately one of the party took ill. I cannot praise the staff enough. They were caring, helpful and compassionate. They phoned an ambulance and stayed with us until it came. Hopefully the next visit won't be as dramatic. Bravo to the staff.

Was nothing like the standard i’m used to from the restaurant. Very bland

Visiting family and La Sun is always our go to treat! Amazing quality, great portion size and range of meal options. Josh provides excellent customer service, giving recommendations and always checking in on customers. Highly recommended and good value!!

Best curry house in Shields! Would definitely recommend. Never had a bad curry from here!

Called in for a take away.. placed order and had a couple of drinks while we waited. As was getting prepared a customer came in as his order was wrong. We then took our meal home and our order was also wrong?? Rang them and after Spanish Inquisition realised they had gave us the wrong order. Over priced anyways to start with, won’t be back to eat but only to get the money they owe us

More expensive than in the restaurant, but food was delicious and couldn't fault portion size. Shame there are no specials on the menu.

wife and I went for a meal we have tried most down shields this restaurant's food and staff are second to none

I came here recently for my birthday night meal. As there was 8 of us I booked ahead. Even though when we arrived we were told we didn't have a booking this was rectified by the highly competent staff. Anyways ..... The food man. It's just straight up delicious in every conceivable way. I had the mixed starter to share and everything on it was incredible. Followed that bad boy up with a lamb phall which was awesome, though try telling that to my tender butt in the morn.... Totally worth it. Well played Lasun .. till we meet again

Food was excellent service was quick the staff was friendly and polite well worth a visit to lasun

The best curry in South Shields by far!! Fantastic staff and relaxed atmosphere.

The lamb chops were delicious 😋

We've been coming here for ages and I just realised that I'd not left a review. The place is quite small so it's very intimate. The staff are amazing, nothing is a bother to any of them. The food is fantastic, we've never had a disappointing meal. There are cheaper Indian restaurants in town but there are none better.

One of the best curries i’ve ever had. The staff were attentive and very friendly. Overall a great experience.

12 of us out for Dad's 85th Birthday. Brilliant friendly staff, gorgeous food lovely atmosphere. Dad loved the joke about his cake.Thank you.

Went with friends on a busy Saturday. Staff were super friendly service great, and food superb. Can't wait to go back.

Friendly restaurant serving great food.

Fantastic for my Christmas lunch. all staff looked after us very well. Thank you so much 👍

Top quality restaurant. The food is always fantastic and the service is always a cut above the rest.

A really good Indian restaurant would definitely recommend it. Reasonable priced and very friendly and willing to talk through the menu with you.

One of the best curry houses in South Shields.

What fantastic food,and great customer service from this restaurant. First time we have visited but this will be our regular go to Indian restaurant from now on. The banter with the gaffer was brilliant.

Have had a fantastic evening with my family. The staff went over and advice to make us feel welcome and special. Can't praise them enough. The food was excellent and service excellent. Will definitely be going back again.

A place that never fails to delight. Whilst very busy tonight the staff were attentive and friendly as ever. The food, which keeps you coming back, was delicious as always. Nom nom.😊

Food is superb and staff are brilliant especially Josh who is such a lovely character 😍

Amazing food and lovely staff, always make you feel so welcome.

One of the better Curry Houses in South Shields! We've been here a few times with work and the food is outstanding and The service is always friendly.

Absolutely beautiful food and atmosphere 😊 it was my son's 17th birthday and they sung happy birthday and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommended and thank you

Awful customer service, bad attitude of the staff. I'd never eat in there again.

Great place with really friendly staff. Real nice food would highly recommend.

My wife and I discovered this restaurant after a long walk and had planned to go to the Indian restaurant on the opposite side of the road. We decided to give this place a go. Friendly happy greeting at the door started the whole evening off fantastic. I really wasn’t expecting much if I’m honest just your usual Indian fair. How wrong was I my wife always orders a plain chicken curry and I chicken tikka masala. We ordered the usual accompaniments poppadom, rice & naan and some onion bhajis boring choices but always safe if you’re hungry. Oh and two pints of Cobra. The spicy sauce served with the popadoms was delicious ( we were warned) it was hot but really flavoursome. I kept on eating it even though it was burning my mouth if that makes any sense. Main courses came with just enough time to not feel rushed and again happy knowledgeable staff well trained smart and professional. The food tasted outstanding my wife said she had never experienced a plain chicken curry that tasted as good. I had to have a taste expecting a bland tasting curry. WRONG it was packed full of amazing flavours. You could tell this wasn’t a dish that was thrown together . A great deal of thought went into the spice choices here it shined through. All of the dishes were presented well and really importantly hot and on hot plates. After the meal we chatted to the waiter who went in depth into what they are trying to create. I got put in my place when I said the plain chicken curry was amazing and that I usually think they are boring. He said “ No plain chicken curry is the mother of all curries “ what a great statement and so true. If you can’t do the basics right it’s never going to be right. We left feeling happy and we will be going back to see what else is on that menu of theirs. Long review but they deserve a decent mention. We have been in Indian restaurants in a lot of places in many cities with amazing reputations. It’s great to discover little gems like this in the backstreets of Shields making it work through difficult times. It’s worth a visit in our opinion give them a go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food is excellent but the prices are sky rocketed ,

Ordered take away. Was ready at time predicted. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good sized portions of fabulous food. This is now our go to curry restaurant for eating in and take aways.

As a former restaurant owner, I'm no stranger to dining experiences, and I must say that my recent visit to Lasun was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff's professionalism and warmth elevated our dining experience, with a special mention for Joshim who demonstrated an exceptional commitment to excellent service. Food at Lasun is truly in a league of its own. Each dish we ordered was a unique masterpiece, surprising us with a delightful mix of flavors that are so uncommon to find. What set Lasun apart is their ability to take familiar ingredients and turn them into a culinary exploration that's both surprising and satisfying. Overall, Lasun effortlessly blends impeccable service with innovative cuisine, making it a dining experience you don't want to miss.

I came from Birmingham to try there food and this was absolutely amazing I would come here again everyone one was friendly nice and kind

Not the easiest to find - certainly on Google or Apple maps or a satnav; but eventually found it then asked if I could sit down and order - but it was too late to eat in - even though it wasn’t 9:30 and it closed at 11!

Wow I’ve been eating Indian food in restaurants for 40 years and think I’ve just found the best one yet. Lasun is a little bit away from the popular Ocean road where there are so many great Indian restaurants but Lasun is hands down the best I’ve been to. Right from walking in the door the staff couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly the restaurant has a nice welcoming, modern feel to it. Then there’s the food there was 4 of us dining and we couldn’t fault one thing our waiter was really helpful and knowledgeable and was able to recommend different meals to all of our different tastes he even brought out a couple of things that he wanted us to try which were amazing and he didn’t put on the bill all in all we had an amazing 3 courses the staff were all great and I would thoroughly recommend this little gem to anyone 10/10 on all fronts

Highly Recommended- But Disappointing. Decided to visit this place after rave reviews from others, and for my Wife's birthday. Far too noisy for me seated in the naughty corner, as it was occupied by two families with youngsters. And I was right under the loud speaker, and another table were well oiled. I had to put tissue paper in my ears to drown out the noise. The Staff were friendly and attentive, we didn't have to wait too long for the food. It was absolutely under whelming though, there are far better eating houses in South Shields. The portions were adequate and hot, but unfortunately not as good as I was expecting. The bill was a tad salty too at 56quid, but I'm told that's the norm. We had two starters, two main courses, chips, rice, two poppadoms, 1 Blackcurrant and soda and two pints of Cobra. I suppose the 20% VAT racks it up, all in all not the dining experience that I was expecting !!!

Had a Vindaloo which was very well made. Right balance of heat and flavour. What really elevated the experience was the staff. The person who invented the "special garlic chilli naan" deserves special recognition, that was really good and different from other naan. Come here if you fancy a proper curry, and make sure you try the garlic chilli naan!

Ordered take away for me to pick up , 1 chicken madras , 1 chicken tikka masala , 2 pilau rice , I chips when I got there charged £ 29.45 it was very nice but a bit pricey I thought , so done a price comparison with radhunis who has a higher rating , same meal , delivered to my door £23.40 , I know where I will be getting my curry next time

The food is exquisite, the service excellent. Always book in advance because it's busy. My favourite curry house bar none.

very good food and lovely workers that made me and my family laugh

Little disappointed. We had a long wait for our starters. My balti was disappointing I've had better. One waiter was really great but one was really poor he definitely needs training in people skills

It took about 45 mins for starters to come, main course was nice but not very hot, coffee after was freezing.

Had a Great time and the food was excellent 👌

A warm welcome and a great atmosphere. Booked for the wife's birthday and was shown to table straight away. An excellent choice of drinks and the menu is well laid out with advice for Gluten free and vegetarian choices. There was no one rushing you to finish your meal and you can relax and enjoy it. It is wheelchair accessible as well. A take away service is available but do not deliver.

The food was too good. Lovely people. Will visit Soon.

The best place in South Shields for food and the atmosphere is brilliant. All the lads are great and the food is of a very high standard. We go frequently and the wife gave birth recently. Josh one of the guys was asking how she was when I went in for a carry out and he presented me with a bottle of wine the celebrate for her as a gift from resteraunt. The best food and the best service 5 stars 🌟

La sun is mine and my boyfriends regular curry house. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is first class- nothing is a bother for the friendly staff. In my opinion the best curry house in South Shields! 100% recommended

This restaurant never fails to miss the spot. We went on New years Eve and had another fantastic meal, this time from the set menu. The staff make you feel like a member of their family and can not do enough for you to make it a special occasion every time. I know there's a lot of choice in South Shields for an Indian meal, and most of them are very good, but Lasun is on another level.

Food excellent,service amazing ,we had 2 toddlers in our party & were made really welcome,a rarity.breath of fresh air.

We went as a family for a meal last nite once again meals were excellent had our to grandchildren with us 4 and 7 staff were fantastic with them which was great to see highly reccomend this restaraunt 5*

Good location and welcoming staff who look after you. A step up in menu options compared to other restaraunts and quality is excellent. Worth a visit

Yet another fantastic meal.The staff are incredible, attentive and polite. The food is amazing. The toilets are spotless. Such a lovely place, highly recommend

Best Indian in South Shields. I now live down south but this is the first place I visit when I return ‘home’ brilliant staff, and most of all brilliant food. Wish they Seoul’s open a restaurant in Cambridge

Simply the best welcome, ambiance and Indian food in South Shields. Only our first time here but definitely not our last. Excellent all around and would highly recommend if you like a first rate curry. Sunday to Friday is a specials menu and cheap as chips (or rice in this case). No delivery service but they do takeaway

Amazing food and service, would definitely recommend

Absolutely gorgeous meal. The guys who work there are really great and have a lovely rapport with all of the customers too, clearly a lot of returning diners and they are really passionate about the food too. The paneer and mushroom are a MUST, my new favourite starter. Can't wait to return, highly recommend.

Excellent service staff were friendly, food was amazing the nan bread were out of this world I highly recommend l.

Lovely food. Amazing friendly staff.

Impeccable Service Food always amazing Highly recommended

If we could give no stars we would , went in the bin , £ 33:45 wasted .inedible.

Food was beautiful. I ordered a beef balti and it was just melt in the mouth. My partner ordered lamb chops and then were divine. 1st time trying this place but will definitely be back. I would say the best Indians in South shields (and I am aware there are so many)

Food and service are always perfect. If you are looking for the best Indian restaurant in South Shields, Lasun should be your first option to consider.

Very cosy restaurant with friendly staff and fantastic service. As for the food, what can I say, absolutely fantastic, from the starters to the pudding I couldn't fault a thing. Oh and try the naan's, they're another level

Food is good, but the time you need to wait for pre organised collections is getting worse, 18 minutes wait tonight and the last 2 collections have also been over 15 minutes, the problem is when you have organised to collect other take always for family members at the same time and you are them late collecting them and they are cold.

Delicious food, very reasonably priced. Staff very friendly

Best curry in South Shields. Love it.

Pretty bland tasting had better elsewhere in South Shields

Tried a take away for the first time . Wow what a surprise the waiting floor staff although very busy made the effort to offer a warm welcome. My order was being processed and I had to wait a short period. I was offered a seat and a drink while waiting . My food was fresh, hot and delicious Will certainly be returning with family this time in the restaurant. Well done and thank you

Your greeted by some of the friendliest staff in any restaurant. Josh in particular makes you feel special and makes every visitor feel important. We travel 20 miles to visit as the staff and the food make it worth it. We have made many visits and the food is simply exceptional and ALWAYs to the same very high standard. We simply can't fault the food. Not on the main road full of curry shops so make a point of seeking out lasun as it will be worth it for the authentic fresh taste.

Visited last Saturday, not for the first time, and as always, from the second you walk through the door, you are made to feel like a family friend. The food is 1st Class and I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed.

Lovely restaurant. Great menu,great value and lovely staff. Made for a really enjoyable evening!

Slow service of it's busy but nice atmosphere, good food and reasonably priced.

Both very happy. Menu brilliant - hard to choose. Food was delicious - fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Service was lovely. We will be back. Thank you.
