Lasan Restaurant - Menu

Our first dish was a selection of starters – Aloo Brie Tikki Potato balls flavoured with ginger and cashew nuts, stuffed with brie, served with tamarind sauce, Mahi Machli – Salmon marinated in a tomato and roasted red pepper puree with coriander, lime ju

I lived almost directly over lasan. it was the ultimate test; my arrival home from work every day fell perfect with the beginning of the dinner service. exotic fragrances that were lined out of the restaurant when I put my pocket on top and caused numerous tantrums, as I would peg into the refrigerator and the realized evening meal would not be enjoyed near those who sit down.

Walking in makes one feel immediately relaxed. The food was an experience, down to a good house merlot. The experience was that of the tongue reawakening, from the immense flavour. This only complemented the same phenomenon that had occurred to the eyes only moments before. The food was satisfying, and the service was attentive, and warm. There was no pressure to buy more than one could eat, reinforced by a message at the end of the dessert menu, not to overindulge.

I enjoyed my time in this restaurant. authentic and delicious food. I ordered the lammsamosa for starter. it tasted great and the Tamarinde-Cutney was just the perfect bath for it. for the net I had the makhan chicken with a side of fungus ride. the chicken was well cooked and the sauce was only heavenly. it is creamy tomato and cashew sauce. also I had a little on the house as a welcome deposit and it was mouthwater. highly recommended. service is as amazing as eating.

which good Indian food in Britain after a long time! we started with paneer tikka and wiper was succulent as they get fresh in india and it was amazing with beet root cutney and what not! for the net we had aloo gobhi, paneer saag and dal makhani with tandoori roti and naan and I only felt that I had eat in delhi. it is difficult to find good Indian food in Britain, so this was a good change. the portions are a bit small or you can say that eating is expensive, but then again, this is a Michelin star restaurant.

The morning after my friends wedding, I was very keen to make an early move and drive back down South. My fiancee on the other hand was very keen to have some lunch in Birmingham before heading home. In particular she wanted to have some curry. With nothing planned, I quickly searched a couple of restaurants to see which were opened for Sunday lunch and was pleasantly surprised that Aktar Islam’s restaurant was. I quickly booked a table for the two of us before quickly packing up and checking out from our hotel.

Bad bad service. I have been to Lasan twice in the past month. To sum up the first time, the food was good but the service was poor. The restaurant only offered a time of even though they were almost empty the entire time of our stay. The waiter could barely speak English in fact, I had to ask him to repeat himself numerous times. He also wouldn't leave us in private he was at the table pouring out water every few minutes, or rearranging chairs or something on the table he was very invasive of our space. We both left feeling very irritated by the service but happy with the food, particularly the paneer starter The second time was different this time the service was...read more

Now this was one fabulous experience from the word Go. I chanced upon Lasan rather randomly, when I was in a last minute fix to reserve a table for a birthday and everything else in Birmingham seemed full or unaccommodating. Although the name seemed questionable (garlic I did not have many alternatives and made a quick reservation for Lasan online. I was called back within minutes to confirm and inform me that kitchens would close minutes after my reservation so I should feel free to arrive early. This was a pleasant change after a slew of rude restaurateurs earlier that day When I arrived, I was taken in by the sheer elegance of the decor. Understated and minimalistic, yet...read more

Few restaurants garner local adoration like Lasan. Since a young and ambitious Aktar Islam swept to glory on Ramsay’s F Word five years ago, we have seen his elaborate cooking style develop and timekeeping skills worsen over two series of Great British Menu, amongst many other cooking programmes. Lasan has become synonymous with transporting the curry away from the Balti Triangle and in to more refined parts of the city, taking with it a fresh approach to the cuisine, from improved ingredient quality to elegant presentation. Ask anyone local for a recommendation of where to eat and Lasan will inevitably come up, regardless whether or not they have actually been there. The city of...read more
