Food was good, but we won’t be going back unfortunately. The atmosphere is so dark and dingy, bathrooms are old, and we saw a mouse run across the floor and eat rice that was dropped and not cleaned up at a nearby table. The staff were in a corner eating, we were not greeted upon arrival and they didn’t make our food until they finished eating their lunch. We should have left when we saw the mouse but felt rude at the time.

Atmosphere was meh, it was too dark. Washroom needs renovations, the doors are broken in the washroom, barely locks. Food was not great…. I ordered chicken momos and i can tell you the big disappointment i had in my face when i ate. No flavour or taste to it. Just bland…. Overall not a good experience but server was nice

Poor customer service There is no respect for the customer who walks in... Don't waste your time there...... No one takes to order 30 minutes over the phone, but She was literally busy on the phone all the time rather than attending her customers. She wouldn't even make an effort to notify the customers about the wait time. I am a regular customer and love this place... but she made me not to order here ever again... Also the tea I order was cold as ice.... had to wait extra 10 minutes to get another... 👎

The food and service here are always fantastic, therefore I usually eat here! The food they served and the way it tasted were both excellent! Fantastic at all times. Even the owner is incredibly friendly and giving. In the event that you have a craving for Indian food, I will always suggest them. Lalaji, I loved this!

Used to be great service. Been eating here for a long time but my last take out order I waited an extra 20 minutes for when nobody was in the restaurant and I received someone else’s order. Went back to re-order less than two weeks and was told only one of my items was covered. Won’t be eating there again after years of loyalty.

I'm not sure what has happened in the last 10 months ( new owner/ management/ cooks??) but I used to go on a regular last year and man is there ever a difference . There were 5 of us eating in for my mom's birthday so we ordered family style. The server was very kind but had a hard time understanding us sometimes. I asked her if the menu changed and she said she didn't know. The samosas were by far the most disappointing - we ordered two different kinds - chicken and beef ( a total of 4) we all agreed we would get better at a gas station. The shrimp pakora were good. And the curry dishes we also good ( but not quite how we remembered them) I asked for their special bread basket which had at 3-4 different style naan breads/ flavours - but the server just brought regular naan. ( which still tasted ok but I sure do miss the special basket they had) Probably won't go back unfortunately.

I wish there would be an option of 0 star. Awful and disgusting. Server neha was super rude there. My wife ordered veg momos and she said it will take about 40 mins to prepare as we have to prepare in steam. Then my wife ordered veg biryani and she(neha) said if you want to order anything you can order right now as she and other employees working there has to eat their food. We ordered veg biryani and mojitos. We got over food served after half hour and on the other hand the quantity of the biryani for a full plate was very small. It was barely enough for a single person. There were flies all over the entire table. Sugar in the mojito seems like as we were eating raw sugar. Disgusting totally disgusting!!!! Want to waste your time and burn your money definitely try them 👍🏻

I recently visited Lala Ji’s and had a mixed experience. The service from the staff was excellent; they were attentive and friendly throughout our meal. However, the food was a bit hit or miss. The gol gappe were disappointing in both quality and taste. On the positive side, the green mint sauce and pickle were flavorful, and the saag was quite good. Unfortunately, the makki ki roti was dry and lacked freshness, and it was served without white butter and gud, which would have enhanced the dish. The malai chaap was just okay, while the burger was good. The spring roll was average in both taste and quality. Overall, while the service was commendable, the food quality needs improvement to match the service. I hope they can enhance their offerings on my next visit.

Border crossing year deux- on the road to somewhere out there, Indian spices from Lala gis- Indian cuisine will blow your mind and palate, while being kind to your wallet. The portions reflect the generous spirit you feel when you walk through the door to enjoy a meal plus 3 more if you like afternoon picnics too. Definately worth whike to put on the miles and end the day at this Special place. A man named Christian helped this American learn a little Canadian, on our way to PenTIC ton in the Canadian sun, surrounded by fruits and vines...how sublime! Be sure to wander North at some point to enjoy THIS! Merci! Canada for the Gorgoeous dreamscapes and your grapes and heavenly fruits! that uplift this ones spirit and fun! I love to pass through ... Take good care of U. T-

When I first moved to Penticton, we visited 3 times in the first week! I grew up surrounded by indian food in Surrey BC and this food tastes so excellent and authentic. Huge fan of the medium spicy mango chicken curry. The samosas and pakoras are an extremely good deal -- there will be leftovers! I tried the rogan josh lamb and it was delicious but not as tender as I would have hoped. The service/atmosphere is small family vibes and authentic! Very kind people.

I recently ordered samosas and gol gappe from Lala Ji Restaurant, but was disappointed with the quality. The samosas were burnt, small, and lacked filling, seemingly soaked in old oil. Additionally, they charged extra $5 for green chutney, which was disheartening. The gol gappe were comparatively better, but overall, the experience was unsatisfactory.

I stopped by last night for some great Indian food! Drove 70 miles to have some yummy food and this place raised my standards of quality of food. I ordered chaat papri, chicken tikka masala and daal makhani. Had t had Indian food in 3 months so was very excited. I was famished so couldn t get the pictures. To begin with, host was very polite and friendly. She honoured my request for mild food. Atmosphere was nice and warm. Food wise, they were amazing. Cooked to perfection. Right amount of spices. Chaat paper was perfectly crunch and good blend of green and sweet red sauce. Chicken tikka masala was to die for!! I packed left overs and had it for breakfast next day! Daal makhani aroma was amazing and taste was great. Perfectly cooked dishes, rich in texture and flavour too. Can t wait to stop by again in couple weeks for some more food!

January 22, 2024

typically when I order from here it s a 5/5! but today something happened, I ordered the chicken korma and within 30 minutes after eating it my stomach began to cramp intensely and I felt very nauseous I ended up falling asleep for a couple hours to try and sleep it off. Now fast forward 10 hours later I still feel nauseous and haven t been able to eat since. I don t know if it was food poisoning or what but this was my experience

We were regular at Lalaji s and would get take out from them at least twice a month. We always felt that the take out we got from them was always somewhat inferior to the food we would get during our dine-ins. My hubby ordered some of his favourite chole bhature, samosas and allo tiki burger today. The samosas were literally dunked in oil and it seemed as if they were fried twice. Just to give you an account for how oily it was: by accident, I left the samosa bag on my bed sheet and it left oil strains all over it. The bhaturas were very dry and my hubby fet like they were mot fried at an appropriate temperature. The whole order was a disappointment and seemed as if an amateur had made it. Despite such a disappointing experience, my hubby gave them a call and they offered to make to bhaturas again to which he agreed. The call was made at around 3.30pm and we were yet to receive anything around 4.50 pm. At the end, we called them again and said we didn t want the bhaturas anymore to which they replied ok and hung up. The main reason for this review isn t the quality of food, but is the quality of customer service. On a side note: I don t like to leave negative reviews especially for small businesses. However, with this review I wanted to express my concern and displeasure with the whole situation.

I was very prepared to give a five-star rating to this little restaurant. The food was wonderful, the staff were friendly and helpful. When I had finished my meal I went into the washroom to use the facilities. Omg! The locks on the stalls were broken. The toilets were both leaking onto the floor. The floor was sticky. The toilets were in dire need of attention. There were janitorial supplies left in the open. The paper towel dispenser was broken. The tap leaked. The countertops were disgusting. I couldnt get out of there fast enough. It makes me wonder if the proprietors see it as beneath there station to attend the washroom facilities? If so, hire someone. Fast! Super, super gross.

We had a wonderful Family Day all you can eat meal with 3 of our kids today. The food was wonderful, but the service was even better. Our server was very polite and friendly, and the owner (I believe) was very accommodating and friendly as well. They offered us so much food for appetizers, and non-stop garlic naan. We were all stuffed. Thank you LaLa Jis! Vegetarian options: We are not vegetarians, but their vegetarian options in the buffet were delicious!

We were 5 people, we went for dinner, around 9:15 . And restaurant was supposed to close at 10. We called them in advance for confirmation. The kitchen it open based, everyone including the kitchen crew started staring. And they stared like for around 20 min. That was very bad experience, one the top we only liked malai chaap, rest everything was gross, may be they were in the rush to close. Overall, it was a very bad experience.

The food is superb 99% of the time. The front desk staff are not. Not friendly, not helpful. I went their not long ago after struggling to order on their website. They didnt even ask me what the issue had been. Then told me it would be 10 min for my order. I was the only one sitting there. After 20 min I asked if it was ready yet. It had been sitting there the whole time...getting cold. Wasnt impressed. Vegetarian options: All their food is sensational, lets face it. And so, their vegetarian selections are fantastic too! Parking: Tight spots but acceptable.

Tandoori chicken is marinated full pieces of chicken drumstick , thighs and breast . Making 8 full pieces . Instead they sent 8 tiny pieces cut from the bigger ones making it even less than 50% of the regular full tandoori chicken dish . Never seen this anywhere in the world !

I ordered from skip the dishes as I was too tired to cook. My order was made and delivered in about 45 minutes, perfect timing as it showed up right at 5 pm. I ordered the family B combo and it was delicious, the butter chicken had lots of pieces of chicken, and large portions for me and my 2 kids with lots leftover for lunch tomorrow. I have only been into the restaurant once and it wasnt super fancy (which didnt matter to me) but I prefer to eat at home anyways. Overall experience was good and affordable. Will be ordering again, thanks for the good food and quick service :) Vegetarian options: The mixed veggies were tasty Kid-friendliness: Mt kids enjoy the butter chicken

went for a lunch with my friends, ordered few appetizers, mains and drinks. Their Amritsari kulcha was so delicious, but a little disappointed on drinks, got delayed and the poor server was making the efforts with a chef or someone (who was on a call with them) to make our drinks and they know they don t know how to make drinks, but server said she has the license upon being asked! which was not true I believed, even though they know we were able to see all behind that curtain sitting there. We wanted to cancel the drinks, but server never came back to say anything. We got our drinks when we finished our food and had to return those and again got no explanations from that server, Otherwise, good food!

Amazing food. Terrible service. Used to order online - came to dine in, left disappointed. Second time dining in here. First time was great. Fresh delicious food made us to come back. The place was empty - literally we were only guests when we arrived. All stuff had lunch - we had to wait when they finish eating to place the order. Drink menu is not updated - found out actual prices while order. Ordered one samosa - received two. Found couple hair in naan - got exchange quick no problem In the end the bill amount was more than expected - the food menu is not updated as well. Not a crazy busy place to make these mistakes.

December 22, 2022

We will no longer come here and not because of the food as its always good. But the rudeness of the front of house woman is not acceptable. Also I spent 100 bucks even with rising food costs the amount of food we received is extremely frugal and on the line of insulting for what a person pays for. We are year round customers and have been supporting this business since it opened. We are no longer supporting this establishment and we are local so we will also stop referring people here as well. To bad because the food is good. Hate to see a local business go down because of bad service and cutting down on portions. I would be happy to pay a dollar more a item if I got the same portion size as previous just a suggestion.

December 22, 2022

This place has gone downhill. Substituting chicken with potatoes.... did they not think we would notice? I used to love this place. I will no longer go here. Terrible food. Oh and their prices are outrageous. For what I paid here I can get double the amount of food at Lachis.

We ordered bhalla chaat, pao bhaji, amritsari kulcha and potato stuffed naan. Unbelievable taste and amazing portion sizes. Enjoyed the channas, chutney and raita with everything. Young lady serving us was very friendly and courteous. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area and are seeking authentic Punjabi food!

Lala jis Indian Cuisine is a magical restaurant where you can enjoy the variation of flavor from India. Every single dish that we tried as a family brought a feeling of happiness. The delicious and delicate combination of spices was perfect enough to transform the food experience in a moment of memorable happiness! The customer service was excellent! I strongly recommend this place if you are on vacation and want to keep excellent memories from your travel.

I order from here at least once a week. The food is consistently delicious and they have the best prices in town. Theyre also so accommodating. I forgot to order raita on skip the dishes and called and offered to pay for it with my credit card if they could add it and they added it for free. Its the little things that count

Must Try! Food is amazing especially the Amritsari Kulcha Chole

December 22, 2021

This used to be one of our favorite places for Indian. And the food is still amazing. The issue is completely with the kitchen and the service. The last time we were there, the service was awful. Drinks not refilled, ignored by the waitress, food overcooked etc. But the place was busy and you know.... COVID.... so we were more than willing to give it another chance. Tonight we were literally the only table in there. We were completely ignored after placing our order. Had to literally flag down the waitress to get a refill on water for our daughter. Asked how much longer food would be (after 45 minutes and all we had had was one appetizer but we had watched 14 take out orders go out). Got ready to leave after an hour and went to pay the bill without receiving our food. Told the food was sitting there. Literally sitting getting cold on the counter but she couldnt be bothered to bring it out.

This restaurant was not neat at all. The floor was sticky when we went inside they should take care for more cleaning. We ordered golgappa the water for golgappa was so cold and even the filling they got for that was even cold. Pav banji was delicious and also we ordered poori it was delicious too.

December 22, 2021

Used to be my favorite. Dont believe their online hours though. I placed an order on a day they said they were open. Took an hour and many unanswered phone calls til I got my friend to drive over and see they were closed. The order service still placed my order and took my money even though they were closed. 4 days later all they offer is a refund that will be in my second in 2 business days. Not pleased with their customer service at all. I wanted to re order, not a refund. They said Id have to pay for it, nothing comped. Great way to keep your year round customers! :(

Kiss the Cook!! We just finished a fabulous meal at Lala Jis. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Indian food. The flavors were distinct, full and pleasing, the portions generous, the naan delicious. We had the Chicken Biryani, Vegetable Navrattan Korma and Palak Paneer, oh and a couple of cups of yummy Masala Chai. The prices were very reasonable and our waiter Adi was attentive from start to finish. We left completely satisfied by the entire experience. Lala Jis just moved into my top ranking for Indian food in Penticton. Bring ALL of your friends or order a take out feast, either way you are sure to enjoy this wonderful food.
