Inside Lala’s Huddersfield: stunning refurb, fresh menu and a bold new vibe

Since 2013 Lala’s, on St George’s Square, has enjoyed welcoming discerning diners for a taste of authentic Kashmiri cuisine.

But owner Junior Rashid decided they deserved something more and has invested heavily on a major refurbishment and a new menu.

He said: “We wanted to enhance the dining experience and so embarked on a new look, a new menu and added a brilliant vibe.”

That vibe includes upbeat music which is welcoming to all. Junior added: “We don’t play your usual curry house music – the kids love it!”

Junior was at the centre of the refurb: “We love Huddersfield and we wanted to invest in Huddersfield and give people something to enjoy.

“This is the number one place to be in town – with a fantastic location, right on the square.”

The food on offer really is superb – from samosa chats and chapli kebabs among the highlights of the starters, to the sumptuous lamb handi on the bone; a slow-cooked piece of prime lamb prepared in the traditional Asian homestyle fashion.

And when you add in the mocktails and cocktails it really is a place for any special occasion, or just a great meal out.

Junior is proud of the service and food on offer. He said: “Memorable flavours, a vibrant atmosphere, and exceptional service awaits all our guests.”
