We had reservations for 2, were 10 minutes late due to parking, but staff were super friendly and accommodating to seat us, they all were knowledgeable and friendly without over talking. We had 4 dishes, each one maybe better than last (which to speak to 'hunger is the best ingredient') isn't the case. They all were excellent, the cocktails were awesome. We had such a wonderful time. 110% recommend and will be back soon. Beautiful space, lovely people.

Lovely and convivial. Amazing food, drinks, and service. We came to celebrate the 11th anniversary of our first date and were not disappointed. This was our first visit, but definitely not our last. We had Lila’s Feast (vegetarian), and while we couldn’t finish everything, every dish was delicious.

We arrived early for our reservation and were seated in the lovely garden. Wonderful service. Our server helped us with the menu and we really enjoyed the selection. Big fans of the spicy beets and the Arctic char with risotto. Lovely meal in a beautiful relaxing setting.

Four of us went for dinner yesterday evening. It was a hot day, but we were seated in the lovely, shady patio, and cooled down after our walk. We were made to feel welcome. Every staff person was friendly, and attentive. Then the food! It's Indian fusion tapas, so we ordered several dishes to share, and we tasted quite a bit, but not yet all, of the menu. Each dish had its own unique flavour, and each was delicious! We'll definitely be back to taste our way through the rest of the menu. I'm so glad we live within walking distance of Lila's! It's a new favourite.

Average Indian food, nothing exciting compared to other good options in Vancouver downtown, such as Sula or Tasty Indian Bistro.
