Loved by Our Guests
Joe Stone
I was lucky enough to try Lara today. Very hospitable restaurant. The service is A1, second only to the food. We had the family grill, very well priced and fed 2 adults and 3 children easily. The atmosphere is great, nice music, and the decor is beautiful.

Visited with my partner and daughters and had a really great time. The place felt super warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in. Everything we ordered looked amazing and tasted even better. We all really enjoyed our meals and left very happy.
Tom Laker
Very epic. Thando was the best waiter. Would rather recite the entire bible in hindi 5 times in a row while dragging my feet back here than miss out on this experience.
Lucy Green
Omg the food was amazing, staff went beyond and above to make you feel well. I could not fault this restaurant. Charlotte was lovely and chatty. I give it 100% in everything, definitely going back again.

First I would like to say a massive thank you to our lovely waitress Michelle, she was so welcoming and made us feel like at home. Her positive attitude and outstanding customer service truly enhanced our dining experience. It's rare to find such genuine warmth.

Absolutely fantastic Turkish restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, the mezze selection was also delicious, and the homemade bread was incredible. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout.
