Great Experience at Lulu! My friend took me here because my name is Lulu — and we had such a fun time! The food was tasty, the service was friendly, and the whole place had a warm, happy vibe. There were so many signs and menus with “Lulu” on them — I couldn’t stop taking photos! It felt like the whole restaurant was made for me. A lovely and memorable meal. Highly recommend!
