    The food was thoughtfully presented and very good. We all did the prex fixe which turned out to be a good amount of food. Would definitely go again.

    The combination of flavours was outstanding, not the usual Indian fare! Hard to believe it's all vegan.. ambience was great too. A sweet place!

    Wow—what an experience! This small, cozy spot is all about sharing plates and incredible flavors. The menu is full of standouts, from wild salmon sashimi to my personal favorite: Portobello mushroom with paneer—absolutely delicious. Sorry for the lack of photos; I was too busy enjoying the food and the company. You’ll just have to experience it for yourself!

    Very good food and service! The tables are a little tight, someone next to us kept talking to us so it was a little hard to have a romantic dinner. Other than that though the food was of great quality and will definitely return.

    What a wonderful experience! I love when dishes are served family style so one can try more of the flavours. We sampled 8 different dishes in our group, and there wasn’t a bad one at all. Most of the choices are vegetarian but there were two pescatarian (Organic Oceans) offers, and we loved both. I think of all the choices, I enjoyed the ArcticChar the most, marinated in spices and served in a bed of creamy basmati risotto. Organic Bc Portobello Mushroom And Paneer In Creamy Onion Curry With Basmati Cumin Rice was my second favourite. Just the right amount of heat in these dishes. I also enjoyed the Imalee and Adarak cocktail with tamarind, ginger and lime. Service was prompt and helpful. A bit loud at the beginning due to the next table who were definitely having fun, but when they cleared, it was easier on conversation ☺️ We’ll go back!

    I had been trying to get in to the new Lila restaurant for sometime, but it is so popular that it takes some organization. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening and meals. A true culinary adventure. I would give it full marks on everything, but I like to leave room for improvement, although I found nothing lacking Well, done, Lila !
