    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!

    We came in to celebrate our anniversary and had a great time! We both enjoyed our food and the cocktails. The Lila’s Feast provides good value and I’d recommend that for any first time visitors.

    Dine Out Vancouver gives us an opportunity to try restaurants we may not know about since outside the areas we live/work. Lila was that for me. The food was amazing. Will definitely return.
    LilaResponded on February 9, 2025
    Hi Gena, We're so happy that you felt like your first time at Lila was worth 5 stars! Meeru, our Chef, does wonders with all the seasonal veggies and seafood we get from our local vendors. We hope to see you soon! Cheers from The Lila Team

    We had the vegetarian feast and were blown. The service was at once attentive, unpretentious, and informed. Very well done; all of it.
