Delicious Indian food. We got the chicken for starter and the salmon, amazing. We shared the butter chicken, the beef vindaloo and the lamb rogan josh. Really nice naan bread. We also had the gobi and aloo as sides. Would definitely come back again. The cocktails were delicious. The last night in Bombay amazing and I had a cocktail that tasted like a Pina Colada.

We visited today at 1.30am. Received a warm welcome from two staff members and were seated at a lovely corner table. Great atmosphere, very relaxed and spacious. The food was definitely fitting of the high praise it gets. Highly recommend the palak paneer, dill potatoes and dhal makhani. My partner had the beef vindaloo which was delicately spiced and rich in flavour. Even the small details like the naan and rice were done to a high standard. Service was amazing, very attentive. Thank you so much. We will be back!

We went for the 6 course tasting menu experience. It was a really nice experience, the food was nice but there were repeats on components across the experience. The repetitive flavours were a let down but the overall quality, flavours and textures were nice and I would recommend people to try it. I also felt the dishes could use a tiny bit less salty. Let the other flavours shine! We did also order 2 additional sea food dishes. The plating is super pretty. I really enjoyed my mocktail and my king prawns.the dessert was super refreshing and light too.

Eating here was a really lovely experience. What I loved most was how attentive Arusha and Akhtar were. They really made our visit special and it felt like there was nothing they couldn’t do. The food was really great we ate quite a few things and afterwards we still felt great which reflected the quality of the meals. The interior is timeless and felt really special and the people the atmosphere was A+. I went for dinner after my graduation ceremony and the staff surprised me with dessert which I wasn’t expecting at all. Top hospitality

A Truly Outstanding Experience at Lasan We dined at Lasan on a Sunday, and our server was the impeccable Mike. Having visited before and been completely blown away, we held off returning for fear it might not live up to our original experience. But today, we stumbled upon Lasan again—and I’m so glad we did. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was cooked to perfection, with flavours that quite literally explode in your mouth. Mike delivered five-star service—professional, attentive, and warm—elevating the whole experience from great to unforgettable. We ordered a generous selection: • Sarson King Prawn • Scallops • Ananas Paneer • Bihar Beef Kebab • Kasturi Chicken • Makhan Chicken • Pilau Rice • Tandoori Roti • Gobi Angara • and the divine Bombay Mess for dessert. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill. The dishes were vibrant, layered, and so beautifully balanced—far beyond anything I could create at home, which is exactly what I want when I choose to dine out. Lasan is worth every single penny. From the service to the atmosphere to the artistry on the plate, it remains a true gem. We won’t wait so long to return next time.
