Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Lila offers a delightful dining experience with "excellent service, excellent food, excellent experience." The creative menu features delicious Indian-inspired dishes with standout options like the "Arctic Char" and "Lila's Feast." While the cozy space can feel tight and noisy, the "wonderful ambiance" and attentive staff make it a must-visit spot in Vancouver.

    Food was okay but service was poor. After waiting over 15min for our server to arrive another staff member came to tell us they wanted our table in 2hours and we had to ask if we could order. One of the dishes arrived with a hair in it(the dish was replaced). The server was very inattentive, we had to ask if we could order an additional drink. One member of our party put in an order for a to go dish and when the meal ended and the bill arrived he told us he forgot so we left without it. Overall probably wouldn't go back.

    Amazing food!!! Tasty!!! Every option we tried delivered! The food is a home run! Our table was comfortable and had a feeling of home. Two thumbs up. Our server was very nice efficient and helpful. I also think it would be a disservice not to mention what we found problematic…our table felt a little dirty and sticky, but the dishes and cutlery were not only nice looking but also spotless. The washroom however, was not only scary, but also very dirty. The door lock did not feel secure. A restaurant’s facilities should never be overlooked… many people I have talked to about dining equate a terrible bathroom with a dirty kitchen. I do not think this is the case here but I will admit I did take a second look in the direction of the kitchen. Having said all of that… the food exceeded all our expectations, I would not only return but I would also recommend Lila to my friends.

    Excellent service, excellent food, excellent experience. We did the Feast and it did not disappoint. Staff was friendly and willing to accommodate minor preferences.

    Friendly, responsive service right from walking in. Creative menu with amazing flavours. Very tight seating and room was very loud making conversation difficult. Some menu items were smaller than expected for the price.

    Delicious Indian style/inspired dishes. Lovely service. Very easy to spend a fortune 😬. All share dishes.

    Do the "Lila's Feast" - it was wonderful! Not having to make any decisions was a wonderful part of the experience, and you can tell that they've got the pacing of a meal down to an art. The food itself was outstanding - every dish was a delight. Will absolutely 100% be returning.

    Amazing first dining experience at Lila. I am not a vegan, but enjoy the food and I really enjoyed the vegan feast. Very flavourful and comforting. Did not miss meat at all. Very friendly service and delicious cocktails as well.

    Fantastic meal and great value. Every plate was a winner - bursting with flavours. Particular highlights were the squash curry and mushroom and paneer curry. Will be back!

    The food at Lila is fantastic, the room is cosy and service is the best we've had in a long long time. The room can get a little loud, but it's not impossible. We will defiantly be back.
