    Lila Vegan options were unique and love that one could order various protein to add to their dish. My 2 Sons and Niece loved the Mushroom Burger, my wife enjoyed the Macro Bowl and my other Niece enjoyed the Penne Vodka dish and I enjoyed the Burmese Bowl

    One of the absolute best places in Sarasota for people who like to eat clean and healthy. They give full transparency to what is in their dishes on the menu and cater to many different types of diets. Plus, it’s delicious. Service is always great and we never have to wait very long for food even when it’s busy. Very cute little cozy café vibes.
