Lalla Rookh

Very disappointed. Had read about this place on a few Perth lists, and liked the expansive ambience when we walked in. However all three of our dishes were underwhelming. The gnochhi was super oily, the mushroom and ox cheek ragu was heavy on the pasta and the lacked the richness of slow cooked ragu, the smoked risotto was bland, perhaps a bit undercooked. Noone came to check up on the dishes, and we ended up leaving without having the dessert we initially ordered. Only saving grace? Delicious coffees.

We had the pizza special which was a perfect balance of flavour and simple choice of ingredients, unusually tasty and a perfect crust. We Added to our lunch a serve of arancini and a serve of fried chicken also delicious we couldn't finish it all so took some home in a box. I can also I say the service was notably good, the waiter could comfortably describe everything on the menu, thank you for a great break in our day. If you go there remember to try the warm fresh bread served just before the meal with a drizzle of the olive oil from the bottles on the table. An added surprise.

I really love this place. It has 3 different ambiences, courtyard for causal eating, sit in restaurant and wine store. You essential a have buy 1 get 3 vibes free! The service for me was impeccable. This felt like Melbourne, New York, Asia hybrid service. The barkeep give me an education with the fine wines, the waiters introduced the dishes we ordered and the fit out felt truly on point. Kudos to the owners and the managers and training for the staff. In photos Vongole, Crab Spaghettini, gluten free fried chicken all fantastic!

Absolutely disgusting service by the manager and wait staff last night. Very rude towards our table of 7, took their time to ask for our drinks + food order. Told one of our friends off for blocking the isle when she was made to stand up. More than 5 spare tables in view and none of the tables had been filled by the time we ate and left. No communication by the staff with our table. Only exception was the amazing food and drinks, disappointing service. Only recommend this place for good food, beware of the poor service and lack of communication.
