    Very disappointing. We had the grilled salmon and chicken kebab and both were over cooked. There was very little foot traffic so not many diners.

    We have been to Lale several times over the years and the food has always been excellent. The restaurant interior however is too dimly lit which detracts from the setting. The service while courteous is slow... but in fairness can be attributed to current economic conditions that have resulted in some understaffing?

    Always wonderful food and attentive service. This is an outstanding restaurant! 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.

    We had a delicious and romantic dinner on Valentine’s Day 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.

    This is a fine restaurant with excellent food. What it lacks is customers. When we arrived at 7 pm for our reservation, there was only one table filled. More people need to visit and enjoy this nice spot.

    Good service. Lamb chops and stuffed eggplant are scrumptious! The restaurant is a little bit dark. I would prefer a little brighter environment.

    We loved LaLe. Went for dinner and basically just did a tasting menu with all of the different mezes / starters. Highly recommend.

    I ate here with a friend and we shared a few dishes. The food was fresh and the flavors vibrant. We enjoyed talking with the owner and learned that we could buy some of the delicious dishes at various local grocery stores. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and is in a cute neighborhood where we walked around afterward.
