Our experience was fine. Okay. Mediocre. Unfortunately, no pictures because we didn 't get anything that was worth really taking pictures of. The serving sizes of our bowls was small for the price, and my crispy chicken could have used a few more pieces. I had a ton of rice and veg left. My husband 's bowl was missing every topping and sauce he had ordered. Our friends ' order was forgotten, even after being told when our food came out (we had ordered after them) that there 's would just be a few minutes. They were very apologetic when they realized, and offered them a free menu item. They chose the fritters, but unfortunately when they arrived they were completely frozen in the middle. The food was okay. The service was okay. The atmosphere was not anything like I expected, and the online menu and website had quite a few differences from what they were actually serving. While it was fine, there are way too many options in there area to warrant a second try.

The tacos were absolutely delicious! However, I was a bit disappointed with the portions. The rice bowl was satisfying, and I really enjoyed the tandoori chicken—it was flavorful, tender, and delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the biryani rice; it lacked flavor and was slightly overcooked. I also tried turano for the first time, which are egg rolls filled with banana. I loved them! They reminded me of the banana fritters my mom used to make. We also ordered crushed ice, which was delightful—a mix of crushed ice, ice cream, and jelly. Overall, it was a tasty experience!

Lovers of spicy food will especially enjoy this place, but there are also many choices for those who prefer milder dishes. Their bubble teas are excellent, and their chai tea latte is delightful as well. If you're in the mood for a sweet treat, Lola's halo halo is the best shaved ice you'll ever taste! Additionally, they offer a wide range of gluten-free and dairy-free options.
