We opted to share a lamb pizza, a tomato and cucumber salad and a meat tray. All were excellent, plenty of food. The pita was excellent. The tea at the end was lovely.

I was a little disappointed with the Dubai chocolate cheesecake this time though. It didn't even look the same as before, and the pistachio paste tasted less natural than I remembered.

Can't wait to go back but will have to wait awhile since I live in St. Louis but I visit Chicago often and stay in the O'Hare area near thus location. I started with a half portion of the Little Gem salad and was happy that they make half portions of salads available since I didn't want a whole salad. For an entree I ordered the Brick Amish Chicken that was phenomenal and it came soul a roasted potatoes and a tasty and garlicky sauce that tasted incredible. For a dessert I opted for the Strawberry Chocolate Cake that was epic! One of the top desserts of my life and I've had incredible desserts all over the world. It looks like they have a nice selection of cocktails and other drinks but I just had ice tea so will hope to be back for dinner and want to try the paella for a dish next time and a martini. The atmosphere of the old church and the beautiful deck outside were very inviting. I had wonderful and attentive service as well.

The vibes were warm and calm, and the menu was extensive which got us excited! Unfortunately the food was just really sub par on this visit. The Reuben sandwich came with meat that was somewhat slimy, and very little kraut/cheese. Quite balanced and really just unappealing. The skillet was interesting, but it had too much going on and was again texturally strange (perhaps too liquidly? Haha). The burger was reported as average, so I can't say much more about that dish. I will say that the pancakes were quite good! Hoping that this was just an off day, so we will likely return to try again!

Parking was a tad confusing, but I'm not expecting it to be on the same property as a hotel so that's mostly on me haha It felt very cozy going in. A similar atmosphere to walking into your favorite buffet. Old school register, a nice waterfall and a very warm feeling. Waitstaff was VERY friendly and attentive. The young woman that helped us was back over to check on us came over just often enough to know that she cared and not too often either. I ordered an omelet and hashbrowns and sourdough. My partner ordered a French toast dish that I can't recall the name of, but MAN IT WAS FANTASTIC. Like, I've been singing Tiffany's praises since I left Chicago to come back to Indianapolis and she's left back to the UK. I -will- be coming back. And i -will never forget- this place. Go eat.

I was seated in a booth by a large window, and the windowsill was visibly dirty with dust and even bugs, which was pretty off-putting while trying to eat. The breakfast itself was mediocre at best.

The diner has a classic, retro feel with a checkerboard aesthetic that gives it a traditional diner vibe. It is not very modern or trendy, but it is clean and well-kept, which is really what matters. The space feels simple and comfortable, making it a place someone can visit regularly for a quick, reliable meal. The menu is very straightforward and features typical diner staples. The food was pretty good, but the dishes were very basic with nothing particularly unique about them. It felt like the kind of food you might make at home, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn't especially memorable either. I ordered an egg sandwich with cheese and sausage ($9.95). I also ordered bacon on the side (3 for $4.25). The egg sandwich was okay, but the bagel tasted like those cheap bagels you would get at a hotel during their complimentary breakfast that come from a bag. The sandwich didn't have anything on it other than exactly what they called it on the menu: a bagel, sausage links cut in half, an egg, and cheese. Nothing on the sandwich was seasoned or flavorful. My husband enjoyed his food much more than I did, and he ordered the Big Texas Breakfast ($12.95). This came with country-fried steak with sausage gravy on top, 2 eggs your way, and hash brown potatoes. He also ordered sausage links on the side (3 for $4.25). The service was friendly, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time, which worked well for us since we were on a bit of a tight schedule. Overall, Lola's Diner delivered a simple diner experience with homemade-style food. I would come here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice for breakfast.
