    Lovely dinner at Lela’s! Hash browns and the lamb were a standout. Dusk in the courtyard garden gave a beautiful setting for dinner.

    Great place to eat, the food fantastic. The mixture was not overpowering, simple but beautiful flavours. Service was friendly, helpful and pleasant. Venue good, summertime even better when you can sit out the back.
