Absolutely one of the best places for Indian food we have been to. The place is new but the are a sister restaurant to Andaaz in Biltmore. The quality is very comparable and the drinks are a wonderful blend of flavors Eric had the Lamb Vindaloo while I had the Brazino. Both were amazing The staff were very friendly and helpful. Kevin the bartender was great. But don't get confused he isn't Indian. The owner Tony does have a vested interest and personally gets input from the patrons

This is one of the BEST meals I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The flavor was bursting through all the dishes I ordered tonight.For appetiser, I ordered Hara Bhara Kabab which was amazing, especially with the chutney included.For entree, I ordered the Chicken Biryani which exceeded my expectations by far.The service was amazing, our server Dipak was extremely kind and helpful. He provided suggestions of what to get and ensured our food was good and how we had wanted it.I highly recommend Laila to anyone looking for a high quality meal, good service, and low waiting time.p.s. the mango lassi is 10/10
A perfect dinner & drinks spot to hit pre-show at the Orange Peel. We got a great window seat at the bar- ideal for people watching.

Had an amazing meal here last night. The space is beautifully decorated, cocktails were great and the food was delicious (we had the pork ribs, masala hummus platter, kadai paneer and chicken tikka masala). Our server, Dipak, was very personable and attentive. Really great experience, can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
Beautiful restaurant, amazing food and wonderful service. Highly recommend!!!

Just had one of the best meals at Laila. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service impeccable, and the owner was a joy to meet. We had the Shrimp Balchaoo to start, and split the Kadai Paneer and Gobi Aloo Mutter --- all delicious. We're not from Asheville, but Laila will be a regular stop every time we visit.Dietary restrictions: My husband has celiac disease and we felt confident that his dishes were truly GF. We avoided anything fried because of cross contamination risk, but that's not the restaurant's fault; it's part of his dietary restrictions.

My family and I went for the lunch buffet. They have a great space for a casual lunch and looks very nice for a sit down dinner as well.The food was great and the service was wonderful! We felt welcome and the staff were extremely friendly. They made sure to keep the food full for all.I particularly enjoyed the fish curry for lunch. They had plenty of options and I tried them all!I’d recommend this place to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to come again. Check it out!

Delicious food, perfect balance of flavors and spices. Even more amazing was the service and kindness of the staff. Special shoutout to Dipak who greeted us with a warm smile, served us with speed and attentiveness, and made our entire experience so pleasurable.

Best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Loved the hummus platter, Dal is perfectly seasoned, chicken Lababdor is delicious. Sauces are well made with fresh ingredients. It’s a lively fun place and service was friendly and efficient. I’m a healthy protein/veggie eater and a friend is pescatarian and we all ate very well! I already know I’ll be a regular.
