Lara Restaurant in Hounslow

Cooked in front of you, everything looks and tastes fresh. We always have the Andy Special as lamb and chicken are always so tender. Delicious. Best in the area.

Im Egyptian, so when it comes to kebabs and shawarma, my standards are set high.I absolutely loved the lamb shawarma in this place. Customer service was top notch.Xena and I felt so welcomed in there. Will definitely be regular customers 👍👍

Maybe I was unlucky or I’ve got @&%#! written all over my face - I didn’t feel welcome in this place and found the bearded chef to be really rude despite my warm and friendly behaviour.. he’s the one with the beard in the photo with the dog. I felt like I was being judged when I walked in and I politely asked about a dish, only to get a nasty attitude in response.My starter and main course came at the same time and were barely luke warm. The meat was overcooked - I’ve eaten out in a lot of varied places and am quite well known in the area. I also cook a lot of various cuisines at home myself. This was very poor quality and an unenjoyable experience.What was worse is that the waitresses, although polite, were not able to understand my English properly.Except for Mr. Beardy.. the staff were really nice, including the old man who owns the place. It’s just the bearded guy who has a problem and a moody attitude. I don’t think he knows what customer service means.I wasted my money here and felt really bad. The funniest thing is that I’ve tasted far better street food in Hounslow for much less.What a disappointment. I definitely won’t be going back. It didn’t taste fresh at all.

Food was a bit cold on the plate. I ordered soup it was cold too. We stay upstairs but it was cold. I went to toilet and even go for number because so cold. I understood it was cold day. But I felt uncomfortable.

Great place to have dinner. I usually find Shish kebabs dry and dripping with oil, Lara does them to perfection, moist, succulent and non greasy.The bulgar wheat with our mains was delicious, soft and had lots of flavours.We did not have any space left for dessert but took some baklava home and they were delicious, not too sweet, crispy top and gooey in the middle.

Swung by here on the way home via the tube for a grab and go mixed shawarma/donner wrap. Honestly one of the best I have had for a reasonable price. Proper meat, fresh salad, nice sauces and bread. Ordered and walked out in about 3 mins, happily eating my kebab on the way home after a long day. Excuse the photo it wasn’t taken for Google!

High quality traditional Turkish kebabs. Good size, best for miles. Might be thought pricey, but most things are in this area.

Great little Turkish restaurant.Not the kind of place where the humus and baklava is out of a packet. Everything is homemade and served with pride and care.I usually get a takeaway but I would also recommend have a lunch here on the weekend.Their upstairs seating area looks out onto the park and is nice and cozy.

High-end kebab house/Turkish restaurant Lara is an excellent option for evening dinning or late night takeout. High standard cuts of meats perfectly grilled - I always go for a Tabule and Borek with Chicken Shish with rice and chips. Chill sauce and pickles bang on!Beers and Wine well sourced the Turkish brands as you’d expect!If you get a takeaway they wrap well and the breads are perfect no sloppy mess for easy eating after a night out!Staff exceptional, always smiling and well trained in night time banter! But this is Chiswick so patrons are a different class!

A perfect place for a craving Kabab! Came a little late on a Friday night and the service was top notch! Would highly recommend if Kebabs were your chosen food for the evening!
