Cauliflower and Potato Pakora
Candice W.

What a fun experience. We tried most of their vegan items this time and I am impressed by their variety. We just barely made their happy hour so I managed to get their Pretty Hard Lemonade which was tasty and refreshing. The menu is designed to be shared and they recommend approximately 2 dishes per person which was pretty accurate. Now on to the food. Cauliflower and Potato Pakora: 10/10 came in a plate of 5. Decent size and for the happy hour price, it was very reasonable. Great flavour, well seasoned and the chutney was delicious. Highly recommended. White Bean and Kale Curry: 7/10 although my friend rates it 10/10 I found it a bit salty for me and lacked flavour compared to everything else we had. I expected a bit more heat with the jalapeno, but I didn't even notice it was there. Potato Tiki: 9/10 I loved the flavour. I'm a huge fan of the salty sweet, so the tamarind and blueberry mixed with the potato and chickpeas was the perfect combo. I would say the reason its 9/10 was because we both though the dish would be hot but it was a cold dish, and feel like it should have been noted on the menu. Black Chickpeas and Zucchini Cakes in Coconut Curry: 8/10 zucchini cakes could have used more flavour and the coconut curry, while good, wasnt as flavourful as I expected. Flavour was mild with just a touch of heat. The basmati rice was excellent. Super fluffy and cooked perfectly. Our service was great and attentive. Would love to come back and try the vegetarian/meat dishes one day.

A new restaurant on Main street, which I believe is associated with Vij's and the Acorn. Very plant forward restaurant with friendly service and surprisingly big (and warm) back patio area. Potato & Cauliflower Pakoras with Fresh Mango & Mint Chutney ($7 during happy hour) 7.5/10 Look, it's very hard to mess up fried food in general, but the fresh mango and chutney really takes it up a notch! This is one of the few food options for happy hour, so would recommend you take advantage of it. Halloumi Cheeese and Peas in 7 Spice Bechamel ($23) 8.5/10 My love for halloumi cheese might make me biased, but imo this is the best dish in Lila. Love how rick and thick the curry was, our friend couldn't stop dipping everything in it! Black Chickpea and Zucchini Cakes in Coconut Curry with Basmati Rice ($24) 6.5/10 A pretty interesting patty like curry. I like the coconut taste but felt like the curry was very watery. Cauliflower Sauteed in Cumin and Tomato Masala ($15) 6.5/10 Somehow this dish was also rather unmemorable to me. Pretty much what it says on the menu? Indian Mango Custard ($12) 8.5/10 The mango in combination with the blackberry jam is tdf. We underestimated this dish given how simple it looked but devoured it in minutes. Ginger Cardamom Chai ($3.5) 7.5/10 Nothing like a good old chai to warm you up when the weather gets chilly (and a portable heater). Very good chai with a nice kick.

I ordered the masala chicken with naan bread. The server asked if we wanted naan or rice, so I…read morethought it came with it, but the naan is an extra $2.5, which is ok. They gave two slices of naan bread. The masala chicken is good, but the portion is smaller than other places. The restaurant is quite small with large tables. You have to ring the bell to call the staff as they are preparing food at the back. Overall, it's not bad.

I came here with 3 friends for dinner. It was our first time and we found the restaurant from…read moreinternet searches. The location is central and it was easy to find street parking on Main Street. Even though it was a Saturday, we were the only table for most of the evening. We were a bit anxious because of the lack of customers; however, there were delivery drivers picking up orders regularly, so it looks like most people did not dine in. The place is clean and seating was comfortable. There is a bell on the table for us to call the server when we were ready to order. We ordered the Lamb Shan-e-Babur that serves 2, the Prawn Coconut, and the Chicken Karahi. The dishes do not come with any rice or naan, so we had 2 orders of rice and 2 orders of naan. Even though the rice portion was generous, we still found it quite pricy. Each of us was given a bottle of water (Pure Life), unnecessary use of plastic is not something that I like to see. And even worse was the surprise when we got the bill that there was a charge for it! The food was delivered by a robot. The portion was reasonable and the taste was good. The lamb was well cooked and tender, the prawns tasted very fresh, and the chicken had the perfect taste, the spice level was just right for all of us. The only thing that was a problem was there were some small sharp broken pieces of bone in the Chicken Karahi, my friend had a painful bite when she thought she was only having the sauce on rice. I would come back for the taste of the food, but I will definitely turn down the bottled water.

It was my first time having it and the savoury flavor profile was so intriguing. The mango shake was solid and good for cutting the spice of the dishes we got. Appetizers - chicken 65 was solid, hot and crispy and I loved the three sauces that came with it. The chicken samosa was also the perfect size and had a good amount of filling while keeping the crunch. Dosas - wow, the best in town! And so filling! The butter chicken dosa shocked me in terms of size and weight. The spinach masala dosa was also huge and I loved the thin crepe filled with spiced potatoes. Star of the show for sure! Mains - the biryani was also delicious as a rice dish and very filling. It went nicely with the veggie pakora, which was packed with crunch and spice. Overall amazing meal. Manpreet was also super kind and provided excellent service. Can't wait to come back to try more dosas - the menu is very extensive!!

We were seated by the front, but looking deeper into the restaurant I liked the darker colour tones and wall accents. We tried shared our Dine-Out meals: - Sarson Ke Phool: Good. Broccoli and cauliflower were way more softer than expected, but nice flavours. - Chicken Kondattam: Very good. Still a bit crispy and loved the spices. - Raw Mango Bhel: Good. I really like the flavours and textures in this dish. Just wished it didn't get soggy so fast. - Hyderabadi Murgh: Good. Just a great dish to go with the rice. - Khurmani Kofta: I didn't enjoy this one. I've never had this dish before, but tasted more like a dessert. Maybe something I'm not accustomed to. - Ginger Lamb Biryani: Good. Well made and very fragrant. - Rose Pistachio Tres Leches: OK. It was fine. Not too sweet, but nothing outstanding. - Classic Coconut Payasam: Good. Very simple but comforting. Service was pleasant. No issues came up. Overall, a good meal. I enjoyed most of the dishes, and felt it reasonably priced. I'd consider coming back

The servers took great care of us. ​My favorite dish was the Ragda Samosa Chaat. I actually wanted to order a second one, but I asked one of the lovely servers for a recommendation instead. She suggested the Dahi Puri Chaat, and the layers of flavor were incredible! The fresh yogurt, chutneys, and pomegranate made every bite feel like a party in my mouth. Obviously, the garlic naan and chicken curry also deserve an honorable mention. ​The staff warned us that another party was arriving at 9:00 PM, so we were trying to wrap things up. This made it even more surprising when they brought out a mango-coconut dessert with a candle and sang 'Happy Birthday!' I felt so special. It was a lovely surprise that made the whole experience memorable. Thank you to the Sula team--you made my day!

We came here on a Monday afternoon around 6:30 and it wasn't too crowded. There isn't that much seating inside, just 5-6 booths that fit up to 4 people each. They've removed all the regular table seating inside for social distancing purposes. The menu is quite extensive, with plenty of appetizer and entree options to choose from. I love that you can also customize your own dosa, which I've never seen before. We shared: Vada ($6.25) - the vada was fried well and was the perfect crispiness on the skin. Went well with the sambar and various chutneys Vegetarian kothu paratha ($11.99) - this was my first time trying this dish, but it was a little bit too spicy for me. Essentially they take paratha, cut it up to small bits, and fry it with vegetables (or a protein of your choice). Was an interesting dish to see on the menu, and my other friends who can handle spice all enjoyed it Chicken biryani ($13.99) - my personal favorite dish of the night. The chicken was tender and the rest of the rice very flavorful. I wanted more of this! Masala dosa ($9.99) - pretty standard as far as dosas go

We were greeted with a warm embrace and a comforting welcome drink of chai tea paired with delicious finger foods. ​The Dine-Out menu was impressively extensive. While we initially struggled to choose just one salad, one soup, one cold mezze, and three mains, we were thrilled to learn it functioned like a Mediterranean All You Can Eat--allowing us to order more dishes as we went. We felt like kids in a candy store, eager to explore the vibrant, exotic flavours. The mango-infused dishes were a standout! ​The service was impeccable. One server even followed us outside just to hand us cardamom cookies for the road. Many restaurants treat Dine Out as a budget-set menu, but East is East used it to truly showcase their best work. We left with new favorites and a plan to return very soon.
