    Mediocre food for the buzz and hype and most importantly the price. None of the dishes spoke to me and the menu didn't feel exciting. Desserts were severely overpriced and for all the Indian Restaurants I have been to, I have never seen chai put under a dessert category. The tea was not tasty at all which my friend got to sip along with her food. She couldn't even finish it after a point due to it being so flat in taste. Severely overpriced with extremely underwhelming food. Overall very disappointing experience.

    We enjoyed a great evening - service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We shared the beets, pakoras, shrimp, and mushrooms, and loved all of them. The pace of the meal was great - just as we finished enjoying one dish, the next was arriving. We will be back!

    I had high hopes for Lila but, unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. 1.Food Quality – The dishes were overly greasy and over-fried, leaving me with stomach discomfort for hours afterward. The flavors were not well-balanced, and the execution felt off. 2.Service & Accuracy – I specifically requested a low-carb meal for my child and was assured I’d get chickpeas and raita, but instead, we were given sweet potatoes and French fries, with no raita. This was not what I ordered, and I was still charged $10 for it. 3.Portion vs. Price – I ordered a side of paneer, expecting a decent portion, but was given just five very small, burnt pieces for $4.50, which didn’t feel worth it. Overall, I appreciate that new restaurants take time to refine their service, but these issues made for an unpleasant meal. I hope they can improve both their food preparation and attention to customer requests in the future.

    The food was excellent! We had the set course and added a few extra dishes, so we got to try over 8 different plates, each one fantastic. The service was amazing, the decor was beautiful, and the wine selection was great with very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!
