Lara Grill - (Near Barking and Dagenham, london)

5 /5 Mohammed Islam: I have been getting deliveries from Lara for some time and the food has been superb. If the food is that good after being delivered 15-20mins later imagine how good it will be dining in. So we decided to dine in and wow, what a great experience. There were five of us, parents, teen, child and toddler. The restaurant team made us feel welcome immediately. The gent received us (Mehmet) was a lovely person. The waiting staff also superb who made the entire experience very lovely. The food is outstanding. Fresh bread made in house, pide and lachmachun. All the dishes seasoned and cooked to perfection. As crazy as this sounds the shepherd salad which was prepared for us, was one of my highlights. Their doner tastes better and different to a general kebab house, also their rice they serve is lovely. Not your easy cook rice, lovely long grain, buttery and with vermicelli. It’s the simple stuff done right and better that makes all their dishes. Prices are reasonable for good quality. In this area you may not expect such quality, but it’s better to pay a little extra to get such good quality. Found my new favourite Turkish

4 /5 Mamunur Rashid: Food was great both in portion & in taste. But the price is so high now, with high service charge, completely unexpected... None the less staffs are good & friendly... Enjoyable place if u can afford.. Complementary tea was great.

5 /5 Hamza Malik: Lara Grill offers authentic Turkish cuisine with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. The ambience is warm and inviting, creating a perfect dining atmosphere. Staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and caring, making the experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Adam Jason: Really tasty Turkish restaurant, staff friendly and helpful. Dips were spot on, had the mixed grill and it was delicious. Only downside was the long seating area by the mirror could do with being reupholstered.

5 /5 Asif Quraishi: I’ve been coming to Lara grill for about 15 years, I still remember when it was a little cozy one shop restaurant with about 8 tables on one side and the takeaway kitchen on the other. Over the years they’ve expanded and changed decor, seen waiters come and go, but the food has always stayed the same with high quality ingredients cooked perfectly. I’ve never had a bad meal here. I’ve moved from the area so I’ll try different Turkish restaurants and while they’re mostly good, none of them compare to Lara so I always end up coming back here when I can. Mehmet is great too, he loves his restaurant and takes pride in his food so I wish him all the success.
