Nice food and service. No atmosphere but it was a Sunday lunch. Cold plates were unforgivable!!

We have recently visited this restaurant with an excitement and our expectation was high. The food is average with a high price and quality was low. You can see this quality in a normal takeaway. I believe the price is high when you compare to normal local restaurant where you can see same quality. The atmosphere was normal. The service needs improvement because they should explain the menu and food especially if you have a first visit. Overall I was not pleased.

Visited Lasan for a birthday lunch. I expected it to be very busy, but there were very few diners at the time of sitting, a Friday afternoon. Its a stunningly beautiful space with an interesting layout, set over what seemed to be two floors.The food was excellent. We had the Konkan Crab and Lamb Cutlets to start, followed by the Makhan Chicken and Dhalcha Beef Ghaal for main. Gosh, I'm not sure what they do to this meat in terms of marinade, but I cannot achieve this level of tenderness at home. The Beef Cheek almost fell apart upon me looking at it. Divine. Can't comment on value, since I didn't pay, but in terms of food quality it's definitely up there, far beyond an everyday "ruby". Shout out to Prajna for being a gracious efficient and patient host.

Some of the best Indian food I've had. Excellent service. Great selection of drinks. On the pricier side but worth every penny. Portions are good too!

Charged me a cancellation fee even though I'd clearly cancelled the future booking with their concierge whilst dining there at the time.

The staff there were very friendly and welcoming.The food is a bit mixed in terms of quality, the saunaf chicken starter and the bombay mess dessert were really nice, but the makhan chicken main was a bit of a let down.Overall I think it's is a bit overpriced for the standard of food, and it feels like there has been a decline in the food served since the first time we came a few years back.

Food was not good at all . Staff were not friendly. taste of the food was awful and portions were small and was not worth the money. Wouldn't recommend

Don't be fooled by the four pound signs against the cost of this place. My partner and I are vegetarian and paid around £40 for our meals and drinks. The food is very reasonably priced, especially for vegetable dishes. The chap serving us was incredibly kind and attentive. We would love to come here again next time we're in Birmingham. Would highly recommend for veggies and meat eaters alike ?

Chosen for a family birthday dinner, this place was far from disappointing. We chose the party menu at £49 per head where each person chooses a main and dessert but the starters are all shared. I chose the Goat Biryani which has to be the best biryani that I have ever tasted. I sampled the Beef Cheeks on my wife's plate and they too were beyond delicious. The desserts were equally toothsome and finished up a fantastic meal overall. Highly recommend.

Won't be returning anytime soon. My son and I went there for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, the restaurant was very quiet and we were seated near the front window. The first thing I noticed was a hole in the leather seat, so not a great start. A visit to the toilet revealed one urinal out of order and lots of fluid on the floor.We opted for the 7 course tasting menu and I also had the wine tasting menu. Although the waiter was pleasant and he said there was a sommelier on duty, not 1 single dish or wine accompaniment was explained to us. I've had tasting menus before, but this one should be called the 'mystery tasting menu' Also the wine glasses were poured to the bare minimum and again, I haven't a clue what they were !!I'm a diabetic so told the waiter in advance I would not eat a sweet course, at the end a sweet course was brought out for my son and I was given 'sorry there's nothing for you with a smile'. I asked was there maybe a savoury dish I could have instead and 5 mins later 2 onion bhajis appeared, wow, it looked like that'd come from the local takeaway!!!All this, for the unbelievable price of £217.75, I honestly felt like I'd been mugged. I've eaten many tasting menus, ofen been amazed what some chefs can do with food and with a 5 star dining experience.Following payment the waiter made a big push for us to rate the experience and him personally. I won't name him, he was a nice enough guy but, this was without doubt the biggest culinary disappointment I've ever experience and I will never recommend or go back. Such a shame 1 star at best.
