    Lila Vegan options were unique and love that one could order various protein to add to their dish. My 2 Sons and Niece loved the Mushroom Burger, my wife enjoyed the Macro Bowl and my other Niece enjoyed the Penne Vodka dish and I enjoyed the Burmese Bowl

    One of the absolute best places in Sarasota for people who like to eat clean and healthy. They give full transparency to what is in their dishes on the menu and cater to many different types of diets. Plus, it’s delicious. Service is always great and we never have to wait very long for food even when it’s busy. Very cute little cozy café vibes.

    Wonderful change from the never ending openings of mediocre Italian restaurants in Sarasota. Lila’s food is delicious, creative and good to eat! Staff are terrific. Great casual ambience. A favorite go to place

    Our local book club got together here this week. We are a large group and there was something for everyone - including those who are vegan, vegetarian AND gluten free. Food is excellent.
