Don't miss the specials, but everything I've had there is delicious, naturally healthy, great wine selections. A short walk from the Botanical Garden and if you go when the Gardens close at 5 you will be sure to get a table at LaLe.

Hadn’t been for a couple of years and we were happy to find it as yummy as ever. The lentil soup and the mezzo sampler are fantastic. This is a great neighborhood spot for a soul-satisfying Turkish meal in a place with warm ambience.

Very attentive service, without being distracting. No rush to “turn” the table. Friendly and low-key atmosphere. Good value and good experience. Oh, and a glass of wine was a generous pour!

Sidewalk tables were too noisy and exterior plants could be more attractive. Appetizers were very tasty! Minty mushrooms, and Fennel Apple salad Main dishes were also good: Moussaka, lamb shanks Main dishes pretty good: Sultan's pie was very tasty (dish was cheesy if important to some) Chicken kebob very nicely presented (a little dry) Dessert: Baklava sampler was nicely presented, but not outstanding flavors
