Reviews For Lila Thai

This restaurant is fantastic. It is a family restaurant, with relatives often in the back cooking authentic Thai food. I come here often and very much appreciate the Vegan menu. They are also happy to modify any normal dishes to vegan if you need. I recommend the coconut soup with button mushrooms and lime kefir leaves (I have it as a starter spring, summer, winter, fall). You will not be disappointed if you come here-

Great local Thai restaurant, the food was amazing, we tried vegan pad Thai, coconut rice and red curry, everything very tasty. Lovely waiter, Tory, he was very kind, peaceful vibes and helpful with our allergies. Quiet and warm environment. Definitely will come back.

Really delicious vegan pad Thai, with vegan gyoza and vegan tofu with vegetables. All were really delicious and good portions. I would marinate the tofu in soy sauce personally but that is my preference. Vegan pad Thai is amazing.

Excellent! We've booked a table through their website, it was easy and quick. Upon arrival we were welcomed by a lovely host. He explained the dishes and suggested us the drink, the dessert, the type of rice to side with the main dishes. It was a very good experience. Fresh food, great quality, friendly staff and calm atmosphere. The prawns, chicken, spring rolls, all 5 STARS !! We will definitely return! Thank you :)

My partner and I booked at table on NYE. We wish we asked our server his name as he was so lovely with great customer service. The food was also amazingly delicious and good value for money. We definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back here again ourselves. Another plus is that they do take aways too! Oh, and there's a good selection of veggie/vegan dishes on the menu too.

Let's start by saying that Lila Thai was a restaurant we hadn't planned to visit, but because the place we booked was closed, we walked around the area and found Lila Thai. We sat down, and the ambiance was great—cozy and family-friendly. The waiter was such a nice person, always striving to make our experience unique and unforgettable. When the food arrived, we were surprised by how good it was, as we weren’t expecting anything out of the ordinary. Everything was cooked properly, and the presentation of the food was superb. We could tell they are passionate about their work, as they didn’t miss a single detail, from the presentation to the flavor. The playlist they use is relaxing, featuring popular songs in instrumental versions, which makes the experience calm and unique compared to other places that don’t offer instrumental playlists. I look forward to coming back here again and bringing more people!

This place has new owners and a new name. Food is excellent. Decor is improved. Service with a smile. The prices are very reasonable (see pics). There is a lunch menu for a typical set Thai lunch (starter and a main) for9.95 Monday to Friday. I highly recommend this Thai place in Putney. Update: They changed the lunch menu slightly. Still excellent.
