Lara Grill

I have been getting deliveries from Lara for some time and the food has been superb. If the food is that good after being delivered 15-20mins later imagine how good it will be dining in. So we decided to dine in and wow, what a great experience. There were five of us, parents, teen, child and toddler. The restaurant team made us feel welcome immediately. The gent received us (Mehmet) was a lovely person. The waiting staff also superb who made the entire experience very lovely. The food is outstanding. Fresh bread made in house, pide and lachmachun. All the dishes seasoned and cooked to perfection. As crazy as this sounds the shepherd salad which was prepared for us, was one of my highlights. Their doner tastes better and different to a general kebab house, also their rice they serve is lovely. Not your easy cook rice, lovely long grain, buttery and with vermicelli. It’s the simple stuff done right and better that makes all their dishes. Prices are reasonable for good quality. In this area you may not expect such quality, but it’s better to pay a little extra to get such good quality. Found my new favourite Turkish

We drove all the way there after badminton! The food here is just great! Dessert is really nice too!!! Can’t recommend more! Best Turkish food I ever had in London so far!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Lara Grill, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The food was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, and delivered in a timely manner—a true testament to the kitchen’s expertise. A special shout-out to our waitress, Nes, who provided outstanding service. She was warm, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism truly elevated our visit. The ambiance was simply lovely, with a relaxing yet stylish atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. The aesthetic of the restaurant was stunning—thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. I highly recommend Lara Grill to anyone looking for delicious food, top-tier service, and a beautiful dining experience. I will definitely be returning soon!

Delicious afternoon meal! Got seated straight away by this lovely waitress. Me and my boyfriend opted for the lunch menu which consisted of a choice of a starter and main (around £13 each). It was very tasty and I highly recommend coming here. We didn’t book a table but you may have to book for the weekend!

Fresh delicious food and good service. We returned there after 2 years when we received a bad customer service. This time customer service was great. They are expensive in the town. We will visit again 👍

The food was absolutely delicious — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We tried the mixed grill, the lamb was perfectly cooked, and the mezes were full of rich, authentic flavors. Don’t skip the homemade baklava — it’s the perfect way to end the meal. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff were attentive without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Whether you’re a fan of Turkish cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to go back!

This review is long overdue. As a family we've been ordering Lara Grill for years and have always known their food to be delicious, and of a high quality. Even when ordering for delivery it arrives hot and fresh. We decided to celebrate our son's 1st birthday with a family meal, with around 13 of us including children. We were given a lovely low lit area which was great aesthetically and even better when the children were tiring. Service was on point without a doubt, and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. If you have a large party I do recommend booking online, the amount of people you're able to book is only 10 but you are able to leave a note to specify the exact amount in your party. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, exactly as we've come to expect from Lara Grill. Quality of food and service was second to none. Cocktails were fantastic too. I honestly can't thank the staff enough. Great memories of our son enjoying some first foods and being celebrated, the singing was fantastic. We'll most definitely be back again for family days and date nights!

Buzzing restaurant and good quality food being served! Meat was succulent and well seasoned. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful Will definitely recommend this place and come back

This is our local resteraunt,but even if it wasn't we would drive to eat here. Large portions of food very tasty and nothing is to much trouble. Always busy,so book ahead especially from Friday to Sunday.

Amassing simply amazing the food here is the best you should try it out it is very tasty

We came here as a family on the recommendation of some friends. Parking is pretty difficult, and spaces are very limited. As you walk into Lara Grill, the cooking area and sign/menu is very impressive, as for the restaurant? Well, it kind of feels that it's primarily a take away shop, and that they strategically placed some tables and chairs in there too. The light fixtures are amazing! It's quite uncomfortable sitting at a table trying to eat your food while all the take away customers are leaning against the counter staring at you! The floor planning needs addressing. The staff are polite, but lack personality and warmth. It all feels rather automated and robotic. You almost feel guilty asking the waitress for an extra drink. If you enjoy fine wine and good beer with your food, forget it. They don't serve alcoholic beverages of ANY description. I was not offered a reason for this by my waitress, I can only assume they are waiting for their licence, or they were declined... There was a fine selection of fizzy canned drinks and bottled water at £1.20 each though! The food was excellent, there is no taking that away from them. As soon as you sit down, you are immediately given 4 dips and some freshly baked bread. Extra bread while waiting for your food is free too. The portion size of the food is OK-ish but I would rather see larger portions and no 'free dips and bread' but then again I'm a big eater. All in all it was ok, a family of four with (fizzy) drinks cost £42 not a bank breaker, but not the Ritz either! We will be using this place again, but probably more so as a take away than a 'restaurant' and who knows, next time you're in there eating, I may be the one who ogles at you with every mouthful of food you take:)

Food was really nice but the chef was really rude when I complained about the size of my lamb chops. You get four per portion but two were tiny. I mentioned it quietly to the waitress but the chef lost it and was really rude to me. I'll never eat there again because of that. I didn't make a scene but I felt very upset at my treatment
