    Fantastic vegan food, spicy and delicious. One of the best vegan food I have had in Okinawa, partly due to my acquired taste for hot spicy food. The setting is influenced by Indian-Nepalese, evident from the many flags found in the place, that are often seen if you hike in Nepal. I quite like the way the whole place was decorated, as it does reflect very much in the food that is served in the menu. Highly recommended - especially if you enjoy spicy food!

    The BEST vegan-ethnic restaurant ever! Whether you're vegan or not, this is the must-go restaurant in Okinawa! Healthy vegan foods(including many types of yummy deserts!!!) are super delicious and the staffs there are so friendly and lovely. You can even enjoy local Okinawan foods as vegans. 大好きなお店です! オーナーのますみさんには感謝してもしきれないです☺ 何度でも行きたいお店。みんなにおすすめ。

    Delicious vegan food, minutes walk away from the main shopping street. Love the curry and rice. Good service however the restaurant need to learn how to handle crowds during peak hours. Speed of food preparation is also slow, approx. 45 minutes of waiting.

    Outstanding service, very welcoming and warm staff, and amazing vegan selection. Everything tasted so fresh and you can tell high quality spices and vegetables are used. I got the Thai Curry with Turmeric rice and it was so delicious. Came with a lovely fresh salad topped with a delicious homemade dressing and edible flowers. The Masala Chai Soy latte was amazing!! I waited way too long to try this place 😱 parking is limited but paid parking right across the street!! Absolutely loved it!

    Delicious food and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were kind, attentive and I could tell they cared a great deal about their work. I enjoyed the variety of the Buddha plate, and their homemade ginger ale was revitalizing. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly -- especially for travelling vegans.

    Pre judged the food quality at first considering there was only one chef and one waiter with a full house. Also the fried gyoza smelled pretty typical. But the wait was worth it and the food quality and service was excellent beyond expected. Momo tibetan style steamed gyoza; The filling contains diced squash and cabbage, the dumpling skin had a great chewy bounce and did not stick to your teeth, and finally the sauce blew me away, imagine a mild but tangy sourness with a kick from the szechuan hua jiao peppers (used in Mapo tofu) that wraps each bite with a taste hard to forget. La la zorba’s homemade ice cream; Went well beyond my curious expectations. The menu had no picture or a description so I had assumed it was a scoop of vegan ice cream. I was wrong and reminded me to always ask the waiter to describe the food before taking a blind jump regardless if my language isn’t perfect. This ice cream was made from coconut milk, piece together finely with beautiful frozen berries, some crunchy granola and a mint like plant (I will get the name of this garnish). I finished this meal really quick because I was flying out in 2 hours and needed time to get to the airport, but next time there will be more to explore at the intimate La La Zorba.

    Such a relaxing restaurant with a menu where all the choices looked amazing. Being 100% vegan and healthy was a huge bonus!!!! We called ahead to order the India Course. It was a feast of 8 wonderful dishes, all were so flavorful and unique. I wish I had found this place during my prior trips. I’ll be back!!! Though it was extra quiet in Naha due to no tourists because of COVID-19, it was still a fun walk through the small streets of Naha to get to the restaurants.

    I had the food platter and every single dish was absolutely amazing. Vegan food can sometimes be a bit boring but this woman knows how to cook. The best food I've had in Japan. Also recommended for non-vegans because it's just delicious.

    This was one of the BEST meals ive had in Japan. Food didn't take too long. Every dish was shockingly good. In vegan dining I'd say it's rare to find flavours this deep and rich. I don't know how they do it. I went for the Dumpling set and Masala Tofu. Simply put it was amazing, will try go again before I leave to taste the rest of the menu!! 10/10!! P.s oh yeah it's definitely not cheap, but worth it absolutely.

    Lovely decoration and sweet ladies. Here at Lala Zorba, I had the best meal during the 12-day stay in Okinawa. The food looked incredibly beautiful, just like art works, which brought us great delight while enjoying the meal. After lunch, we had a happy chat with the young lady, who is no stranger to my hometown. Before we left, the lady in the kitchen gave us a lovely smile. I told myself, “I would love to come back here again!”

    This restaurant is amazing! I highly recommend a trip here for vegans and vegetarians, but also anyone who wants amazing food. I had the Karaage-bowl and it was one of my favorite dishes I ate on vacation. If you eat meat you’d still be so impressed this is vegan. Cute spot, really nice staff, and amazing food.

    It's a vegan restaurant placed in the second floor. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious!! My boyfriend got the Ga Pao rice and I got the Thai Curry, both with turmeric rice and a spicy soup. So delicious and big portions. I recommend. The vibes of the place are so relaxing that you really enjoy every minute there☺️

    So tasty vegan soy meat and Okinawa Soba! Friendly warm service! Thank you! :)

  • 5/5 Upsham N. 1 year ago on Google
    I recommend this place for everyone, not just vegetarians and vegans. The main theme of the food here is the use of local organic vegetables of Okinawa made into healthy dishes that don't compromise flavor. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with peaceful music playing in the background. I ordered the homemade ginger ale and it definitely lived up to the hype. The soy meat with ethnic sauce was out of this world and the veggies of Okinawa were a beautiful addition to the dish. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and founder of the restaurant after my meal and thanked her for creating this wonderful environment everyone can experience

    Really nice place cozy atmosphere not too crowded and food is really delicious (especially soy meat) it’s on the second floor so can be hard to find

    I came here to have lunch with my family. As everyone knows, it’s not easy to find a vegan restaurant in Okinawa. However, Lala Zorba didn’t let me down. I ordered spicy curry set and blueberry cake. The salad was fresh, light, and the curry was quite exotic ☺️ The blueberry cake was exquisite too! It’s so great that you must not miss it… The staff was friendly too. Definitely the best option for your vegan meal in Okinawa!
