Wanted to try this place out for ages and finally got around to going. Had recommendations from many people and no wonder. Lovely little place. Friendly staff. And the food is just heaven on a plate. Zero complaints. Can't wait to go back to try out their other dishes. Fantastic food.
Visited for my partners birthday. Delicious meal ( Maysore Salmon and Mixed Balti ) ..starters also good. Love the food, decor, crisp white linen , friendly attentive staff ...highly recommend for any occasion.
A warm welcome and a great atmosphere. Booked for the wife's birthday and was shown to table straight away. An excellent choice of drinks and the menu is well laid out with advice for Gluten free and vegetarian choices. There was no one rushing you to finish your meal and you can relax and enjoy it. It is wheelchair accessible as well. A take away service is available but do not deliver.
Very cosy restaurant with friendly staff and fantastic service. As for the food, what can I say, absolutely fantastic, from the starters to the pudding I couldn't fault a thing. Oh and try the naan's, they're another level
Wow I’ve been eating Indian food in restaurants for 40 years and think I’ve just found the best one yet. Lasun is a little bit away from the popular Ocean road where there are so many great Indian restaurants but Lasun is hands down the best I’ve been to.
Right from walking in the door the staff couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly the restaurant has a nice welcoming, modern feel to it.
Then there’s the food there was 4 of us dining and we couldn’t fault one thing our waiter was really helpful and knowledgeable and was able to recommend different meals to all of our different tastes he even brought out a couple of things that he wanted us to try which were amazing and he didn’t put on the bill all in all we had an amazing 3 courses the staff were all great and I would thoroughly recommend this little gem to anyone 10/10 on all fronts
As a former restaurant owner, I'm no stranger to dining experiences, and I must say that my recent visit to Lasun was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff's professionalism and warmth elevated our dining experience, with a special mention for Joshim who demonstrated an exceptional commitment to excellent service.
Food at Lasun is truly in a league of its own. Each dish we ordered was a unique masterpiece, surprising us with a delightful mix of flavors that are so uncommon to find. What set Lasun apart is their ability to take familiar ingredients and turn them into a culinary exploration that's both surprising and satisfying.
Overall, Lasun effortlessly blends impeccable service with innovative cuisine, making it a dining experience you don't want to miss.
Great place with really friendly staff. Real nice food would highly recommend.
Amazing food and lovely staff, always make you feel so welcome.
Absolutely beautiful food and atmosphere 😊 it was my son's 17th birthday and they sung happy birthday and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommended and thank you

My wife and I discovered this restaurant after a long walk and had planned to go to the Indian restaurant on the opposite side of the road.
We decided to give this place a go.
Friendly happy greeting at the door started the whole evening off fantastic. I really wasn’t expecting much if I’m honest just your usual Indian fair. How wrong was I my wife always orders a plain chicken curry and I chicken tikka masala. We ordered the usual accompaniments poppadom, rice & naan and some onion bhajis boring choices but always safe if you’re hungry. Oh and two pints of Cobra.
The spicy sauce served with the popadoms was delicious ( we were warned) it was hot but really flavoursome. I kept on eating it even though it was burning my mouth if that makes any sense.
Main courses came with just enough time to not feel rushed and again happy knowledgeable staff well trained smart and professional. The food tasted outstanding my wife said she had never experienced a plain chicken curry that tasted as good. I had to have a taste expecting a bland tasting curry. WRONG it was packed full of amazing flavours. You could tell this wasn’t a dish that was thrown together . A great deal of thought went into the spice choices here it shined through. All of the dishes were presented well and really importantly hot and on hot plates.
After the meal we chatted to the waiter who went in depth into what they are trying to create. I got put in my place when I said the plain chicken curry was amazing and that I usually think they are boring. He said “ No plain chicken curry is the mother of all curries “ what a great statement and so true. If you can’t do the basics right it’s never going to be right.
We left feeling happy and we will be going back to see what else is on that menu of theirs.
Long review but they deserve a decent mention. We have been in Indian restaurants in a lot of places in many cities with amazing reputations. It’s great to discover little gems like this in the backstreets of Shields making it work through difficult times.
It’s worth a visit in our opinion give them a go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ordered take away. Was ready at time predicted. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good sized portions of fabulous food. This is now our go to curry restaurant for eating in and take aways.
Food is superb and staff are brilliant especially Josh who is such a lovely character 😍
