“Atmosphere and cleanliness was spot on, 10/10, service was impeccable; staff are attentive and listen so orders are accurate and the food was amazing. The Lara special grill plater can easily feed 3 people unless your a hungry man then it will feed 2. Great tasting food around and fresh off of the grill. If you are celebrating a birthday it’s defo worth booking as they also sing their own version of hbd with you. Toilets are also clean and maintained.”

Been few times to this restaurant since 2020 and most recently in December 2022 when it seemed renovated. Visited on 17/01/2025. You have to pay for parking at the Iceland car park which I was made aware of when I was seated which you previously did not need too. Was given the complimentary bread and the sauces - bread was not as good as other restaurants I’ve been too where you are also provided with hummus. Ordered the Lara Mix Grill and Chicken Beyti. The quality of the meat is very good here. The chips portion could be bigger as we did replace it instead of having the rice. Interior was nice but seating is cramped. Service was good despite it being loud.

This restaurant came highly recommended by a colleague, so I had to give it a try. My extended family, a group of 20+ adults and kids, booked the restaurant for lunch. Upon arrival, we were given a private section of the restaurant. The service was excellent, and we were served warm bread with white cream sauce and chili sauce, followed by hummus and salad. We chose to order the platters, going for the two meaty feasts and the special. The food arrived piping hot and beautifully presented. The waitstaff checked on us every 5-10 minutes to ensure we had everything we needed. Both the food and the service were outstanding, so I had no hesitation in paying the 10-15% service charge added to the bill. Our total came to just over £300, and it was worth every penny. There are parking spaces available around the restaurant; if you're unsure where to park, just ask the staff, and they will guide you. The only downside was that the toilets didn't have the usual Mediterranean water hose. I would kindly request that a portable bottle be made available. Thank you!
