Me and my mom went to this location a few days ago and we love the food here. The pricing was decent enough and the atmosphere was relaxing. Although the service wasn’t perfect, the overall experience was great! :)

Just visited Lalaji’s Indian Cuisine and I had to share how amazing my experience was. The malai chaamp was incredibly tender and rich—one of the best I’ve had. The kulche chhole hit that perfect balance of spice and comfort, and the paper chaat was a fun, crispy delight with a burst of flavors.
The ambience was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind. And I can’t say enough about the staff—so helpful and kind, they made the whole experience...

It's great to see the return of buffet style eating out. There are currently four restaurants in the Penticton to Kelowna corridor that are actively experimenting with this format. The offerings are similar, but the open hours are quite varied. Call ahead.
Lala ji's is the standout, but it's worth checking out all the locations. The Butter Chicken and the Chicken Korma ar Lala Ji's are a cut above the rest.
