Very enjoyable dinner at Lasan in the heart of Birmingham.
Great service by the gentlemen serving you. The food tastes very very fresh with the right balance and excellent desert choice. You shud try the date pudding or beet root halwa. Really really good
Be the first to ReplyHands down the best Indian food I've ever had.
Everything is so fresh and delicious. The craft cocktails were so interesting and well thought out without being overly complex. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

This is one of the best Indian food places around only one better is in nots which I wish I could of gone to more but was just a stop off on way else where. But if here eat here if nots then look for my review and get lamb it's amazing
Be the first to ReplyThe finest of Indian cuisine in its most modern form.
Lasan has been a highly regarded part of the Birmingham restaurant scene for a long time now, after finally getting around to going I can see why.The place itself is nice and light with very simple, chunky decoration and furnishings throughout, it is all comfortable and doesn't distract from the eating experience although it probably is time for them to give the place a refresh, everything is getting a little tired in there.Food wise this place lives up to the hype. The ala carte menu (which unless you are in a big group you'll be eating from, this isn't a taster menu place), although not too long, was completely jam packed with food I wanted to eat making it was genuinely difficult to narrow down to just two dishes! I had a quail starter, complete with outrageously tasty quail scotch egg, which was beautifully cooked, gorgeously spiced, a real delight to eat. Main was venison, a loin and a small curry next to it which was an awesome meld of anglo-indian and again lit up my palette in all the right ways.They have a full bar here and the drinks are quite well priced for a high end fine dining restaurant, a bottle of wine starts at around £25.The staff were good, they answered my questions and gave recommendations and made sure that my glass was always full but didn't get in the way of the food, which is the perfect type of service for me.Prices are also very reasonable considering that this is one of the best places in the city, going ala carte gives the flexibility to suit most budgets, although it is by no means cheap.I absolutely can't wait to go again, I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted to eat everything on the menu, I WANT TO EAT EVERYTHING ON THE MENU!
Be the first to ReplyFew 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. Â 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. Â The city of Birmingham likes to claim the curry as our own; its only natural we want one of our local stars to sit amongst the higher echelons.The cavernous space Lasan operates in is a muted wash of Farrow and Ball neutrals. The heavy wooden tables are bare, the chairs ornate and comfortable. Everything functions, though, in all honesty, it is a little tired looking. From our elevated seat on the balcony we agree that it is nothing that a lick of paint here and there wouldn't solve. Pani puri arrives, the crisp spheres filled with vegetables and a piquant water. Â Its Indian street food spun through the fingers of a spice wizard; chilli heat, sweat and sour notes from tamarind, crunch and earthiness from the chickpeas and potato. Â It is about as good as a singular mouthful gets.A tasting of quail showed Islam's long term vision for Lasan is rooted firmly in fine dining territory. Â A marinated supreme which still retained its delicate meatiness was only overshadowed by a beautifully poised quail egg kofta . It was an ambitious plate worth commending with only a roast leg failing to delivery. The little amount of meat lost in the sweet molasses. Â Salmon Tikka was faultless, the fish more than standing up to the marinade of tomato and red pepper that grew and on the palate whilst being tempered by lime acidity.A duck main had perfectly pink breast atop of braised cabbage and lentils. Â The meat was well timed, though it needed the killer south Indian style sauce to bring everything together. Â The coconut bringing a subtle sweetness against the bell peppers. Â Another sauce, this time a Rajastani style gravy, would fight for star billing on a lamb main that nod towards Lasan's Achilles Heel. Â Whilst the aubergine and shoulder rilllette had more flavour levels than Tetris, the coriander crusted rack was undercooked. Â The meat, cooked sous-vide and then roasted, had spent too long in the water bath and not long enough in the oven, resulting in a rare rack with fat that had not rendered down. Much safer ground was a chicken tikka masala, of course not referred to here by its common name. Â The large chunks of poultry were charred and flavoursome, the creamy sauce complex with a restrained hand on the heat.Breads were predictably brilliant, as was a dhal which ranks as the best I have eaten. Â And then the price. Â With mains hovering around twenty quid, a share of the sides and bread that is insisted on as required (its not), a meal here can reach the same dizzying heights as its Michelin contemporaries. Â Is it value for money? Â I would say so. Â Its occasionally brilliant, consistently entertaining and infrequently frustrating, though never through lack of trying. Â A bit like the Aktar Islam I watched on telly. Â This is his show; a study of taking a cuisine that we expect to be rustic and refining it to something far more beautiful whilst still retaining the soul of the cooking. Â And a bit like the Aktar Islam I watched on telly, it's a fascinating bit of viewing.

A friend was planning their birthday party and asked me a decent restaurant for a midweek meal, after several conversations we decided on Indian and that meant only one place Lasan. Having eaten here before I couldn't recommend it highly enough, the restaurant itself is very tasteful and well decorated and all of the staff are incredibly attentive and will do anything for customers. As a table of 12 we did have to book some weeks in advance and we paid a deposit (this is something i feel is acceptable with such a large group). On the night the service was fantastic and the food is still some of the best Indian available in the city, we opted for the banquet which works really well for groups as all the dishes are available on the table and you can try them as you wish. The starters were fantastic, and the portion sizes were surprisingly big. The main dishes were equally as delicious and both vegetarian and non-vegetarian were available along with a large amount of pilau rice. I would definitely say to anyone who likes their food to have a slight kick the Kadhai Aloo is worth a try. The desert was served quickly and came with a cardamom custard which I thought was delicious, however, one of the group doesn't like cardamom and the staff were more than happy to offer ice cream as an alternative. The meal was fantastic and the service was fantastic, even for a table of 12 all dishes were brought out together and everyone's needs were met quickly and attentively. For a 3 course banquet we paid around £37 per head, which we felt was good value for money considering the quality of the food and level of service. It is somewhere I will continue to recommend and I will be going back to.
Be the first to ReplyThis is where Yelp can get it wrong in its rankings.
Lasan is clearly one of Birmingham's best restaurants and is as prestigious as our Michelin star choices. Was surprised to see it so far down the rankings! Had some amazing meals here and although on the pricey side, deserves a rare 5 stars from me. Beautiful ambiance inside with usually great service (apart from one time I only decided to have a main and felt awkward). If you haven't been then its a must visit place in Birmingham's food scene.

.. Lasan... I discovered this restaurant thanks to yelp 0:) Now it's a must go when I am around birms. A very classy restaurant, that can be a bit posh and the service is sometime a bit too much but whatever the food is great. It's not just Indian food, there are tons of good Indian restaurants... But lasan put it at another level :The top quality products, the Indian spices and the modern way of cooking makes it a unique place. Of course everything comes at a price but I think it worth it. And as it's in St Paul's square there are good options to continue the evening :)

Like many who live in the jewellery quarter, Lasan is on my aspirational list of food places to go.  The price and the reputation stop it being "that place you go when you fancy a curry", but like not trying that restaurant at the top of the road, you don't quite feel you've moved in until you give it a whirl.Years after moving in, I've whirled.I went with a group of friends; our menu was part of Lasan's celebration of winning The Great British Menu.  Chef Aktar Islam recreated his winning menu for a restaurant full of diners.  This was offered together with a true bargain of a wine flight, which I couldn't miss out on; in fact, I was early to the departure gate, for once in my life!Our party was quite large, but the service was excellent.  Food arrived at perfect intervals and the staff were able to keep track on who was flying, and who was taking the solo route, drinks wise.  The food itself was fantastic for the most part.  In fact, the only course that was a little disappointing was the main course.  Everything else was an exciting taste experience, whether it was the delicate Cornish bass with  a punchy coconut sauce or the delicious chai spiced pannacotta, served with a coconut ice cream.  And for the record - wines (and rum) were perfectly matched.I'd love to give Lasan another whirl.  It would be great to experience the current menu and see how Lasan has developed over the years.  I was pleased with my first visit, but I get the feeling it could impress a little more second time around.Oh and as I've now *officially* just moved in, gifts to welcome me to my new home are gratefully received ;).

Lasan is one of the many places I've wanted to visit since moving to the Jewellery Quarter 6 years ago (ish) although it's unfortunately somewhat out of my normal price range. Many of my friends have eaten here and raved about it though, plus it has been included in The Sunday Times top 100 UK restaurants and is Michellin recommended, so when the opportunity came up with their £20 Winter Banquet menu we jumped at the chance and had high hopes for our meal.As we entered via a side street just off St Paul's Square the understated yet stylish interior whisked us away from a grey, cold winters day in Birmingham into a realm of delicious smelling cuisine and culinary delights.Whilst waiting for the rest of our party to arrive we shared a nice bottle of red and eagerly awaited the start of our meal.  They didn't lie when they said it was a banquet! Delicious pieces of salmon and chicken alongside vegetable pakoras and bhajis to start, followed by an all encompassing selection of mains dishes including a fantastic mutton curry (which fortunately a few people weren't too keen on so I could have extra!) accompanied with naan and rice. Even with a large group of nearly 20 there was more than enough to go around!After polishing that lot off (and maybe a bit more wine) we were presented with our dessert of Gulab Jamoon Aur Rabri, something I've never tried before but the cardamom infused custard was absolutely delicious.If you're looking for a top notch Indian meal, or are looking to impress on a date then head over to Lasan - but book in advance as it gets full very quickly. If you keep an eye out they also do a summer banquet menu so you can have the same Lasan quality dining but without the hefty price tag.
