the interior somehow manages to combine old-world glamour and contemporary style, with a distinctly indian infusion. ornate, gilt-framed mirrors add to the feeling of space, while elegant statues of hindu gods cast their eyes over the simple dining room. we were sat beneath a wooden sitar, that stringed instrument whose haunting notes make indian music sound so, well, indian. - see more at: http://www.dinebirmingham.co.uk/post/56795831149/lasan-restaurant-indian-jewellery-quarter#sthash.cm4vkfut.dpuf

unfortunately i found lasan to be a case of style over substance. the surroundings are lovely and cosy and food was tasty and well presented, but in the buffet meal we had there was certainly nothing unusual to try, and the experience felt pretty rushed.

i'd heard good things about lasan, but honestly for the money, there are several indian restaurants nearby that offer a wider range of dishes from various cuisines and regions, and much better value for money.

lasan is my favorite restaurant in b'ham. i've always had great experiences in this restaurant. the curries are immaculate and so are the starters. i celebrated by birthday here and the service was excellent. defo going back! a bit pricey but worth every penny.

lasan: didnt live up to the hype - average food. hello, i wanted to provide some feedback on our recent visit to lasan to share with people who think just because its been on tv that its great. we went there on sunday 27th nov for our anniversary. the first thing i noticed was the lack of atmosphere, the music was on then off. the place was 3quarters full so that's no excuse. staff were friendly & service on the whole was prompt. the amuse bouche was lovely & set our expectations for a lovely meal. the starters (pakora mix & afgani lamb) these good. for mains we had a kerala prawn curry & a punjabi chicken curry, both had very small amounts of meat & the curry (sauce) they were in seemed processed to the point were they tasted & looked like baby food. i didn't have a pudding as my meal was spoilt. my fiancee did and it was nice but nothing you couldn't get in any curry house in leicester. the bill was as we expected for a place with such accolades. we mainly eat in leicester & birmingham and come from a gujrati family so definitely know "indian" food. as it stands our experience of lasan has been poor to average and we would not come back or recommend it to our friends or family. it's a shame as we watched the tv show they won & really wanted it all to be great.

still great. the menu changed a while ago and it could be said that the choice has become more limited. certain 'favourites' have disappeared. obviously this evolution has to happen and experiment is a good thing but still a shame when you've been looking forward to something for a long time.
daily specials well worth a go and of course the service and staff remain second to none.
looking forward to the next visit.

modern indian cuisine...absolutely brilliant!. indian food is my second favourite type of cuisine, aside from thai, but i have never seen indian food cooked and presented in the way that lasan so. contemporary, imaginative and cooked and presented to perfection. keep up the god work!

a must try. my husband and i visited this restaurant on saturday after the f word hype. its a great restaurant, excellent service, out table was booked for 9 and we were seated promptly. the manager took our order and we received complimentary poppadoms and dips. there was a nice gap between courses and we didn' feel rushed as you sometimes do in indian restaurants. for starters, i had the panner dil khush which was incredibly flavoursome and very well presented, my husband had the salmon starter and again was impressed with the flavours. the only gripe i had with my starter was although it was packed with flavours, it didnt come with quite enough sauce, after i had finished one and half of three peices there was no sauce left and the dish was very dry on its own. however, to be fair, i requested some dip and it was delivered to the table promptly. main courses were lovely but both dishes were luke warm when they came to the table - i guess i could have sent them back but we didnt! my husband had the chocolate desert and again it was very well presented. this is a really nice restaurant, a bit tired in terms of the decor and they really could make more effort in tarting it up. it was unfortunate that on the day we visited we were seated behing a table of 10 who were arguing, apparetly one of the party did not like his dish and even though the manager bought out a replacement dish and was doing his best to placate him he was just being incredibly rude which resulted in insults flying around the table - these people really should stay at home and allow other diners to take in the incredible choice and flavours this resturant provides.
