    Very cosy restaurant with friendly staff and fantastic service. As for the food, what can I say, absolutely fantastic, from the starters to the pudding I couldn't fault a thing. Oh and try the naan's, they're another level

    Tried a take away for the first time . Wow what a surprise the waiting floor staff although very busy made the effort to offer a warm welcome. My order was being processed and I had to wait a short period. I was offered a seat and a drink while waiting . My food was fresh, hot and delicious Will certainly be returning with family this time in the restaurant. Well done and thank you

    Simply the best welcome, ambiance and Indian food in South Shields. Only our first time here but definitely not our last. Excellent all around and would highly recommend if you like a first rate curry. Sunday to Friday is a specials menu and cheap as chips (or rice in this case). No delivery service but they do takeaway

    The best place in South Shields for food and the atmosphere is brilliant. All the lads are great and the food is of a very high standard. We go frequently and the wife gave birth recently. Josh one of the guys was asking how she was when I went in for a carry out and he presented me with a bottle of wine the celebrate for her as a gift from resteraunt. The best food and the best service 5 stars 🌟

    Food is good, but the time you need to wait for pre organised collections is getting worse, 18 minutes wait tonight and the last 2 collections have also been over 15 minutes, the problem is when you have organised to collect other take always for family members at the same time and you are them late collecting them and they are cold.

    A warm welcome and a great atmosphere. Booked for the wife's birthday and was shown to table straight away. An excellent choice of drinks and the menu is well laid out with advice for Gluten free and vegetarian choices. There was no one rushing you to finish your meal and you can relax and enjoy it. It is wheelchair accessible as well. A take away service is available but do not deliver.

    One of the better Curry Houses in South Shields! We've been here a few times with work and the food is outstanding and The service is always friendly.

  • 5/5 Emma F. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is exquisite, the service excellent. Always book in advance because it's busy. My favourite curry house bar none.

  • 3/5 Christine A. 1 year ago on Google
    Little disappointed. We had a long wait for our starters. My balti was disappointing I've had better. One waiter was really great but one was really poor he definitely needs training in people skills

    La sun is mine and my boyfriends regular curry house. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is first class- nothing is a bother for the friendly staff. In my opinion the best curry house in South Shields! 100% recommended

    Wow I’ve been eating Indian food in restaurants for 40 years and think I’ve just found the best one yet. Lasun is a little bit away from the popular Ocean road where there are so many great Indian restaurants but Lasun is hands down the best I’ve been to. Right from walking in the door the staff couldn’t be more welcoming and friendly the restaurant has a nice welcoming, modern feel to it. Then there’s the food there was 4 of us dining and we couldn’t fault one thing our waiter was really helpful and knowledgeable and was able to recommend different meals to all of our different tastes he even brought out a couple of things that he wanted us to try which were amazing and he didn’t put on the bill all in all we had an amazing 3 courses the staff were all great and I would thoroughly recommend this little gem to anyone 10/10 on all fronts

    As a former restaurant owner, I'm no stranger to dining experiences, and I must say that my recent visit to Lasun was nothing short of extraordinary. The staff's professionalism and warmth elevated our dining experience, with a special mention for Joshim who demonstrated an exceptional commitment to excellent service. Food at Lasun is truly in a league of its own. Each dish we ordered was a unique masterpiece, surprising us with a delightful mix of flavors that are so uncommon to find. What set Lasun apart is their ability to take familiar ingredients and turn them into a culinary exploration that's both surprising and satisfying. Overall, Lasun effortlessly blends impeccable service with innovative cuisine, making it a dining experience you don't want to miss.

    My wife and I discovered this restaurant after a long walk and had planned to go to the Indian restaurant on the opposite side of the road. We decided to give this place a go. Friendly happy greeting at the door started the whole evening off fantastic. I really wasn’t expecting much if I’m honest just your usual Indian fair. How wrong was I my wife always orders a plain chicken curry and I chicken tikka masala. We ordered the usual accompaniments poppadom, rice & naan and some onion bhajis boring choices but always safe if you’re hungry. Oh and two pints of Cobra. The spicy sauce served with the popadoms was delicious ( we were warned) it was hot but really flavoursome. I kept on eating it even though it was burning my mouth if that makes any sense. Main courses came with just enough time to not feel rushed and again happy knowledgeable staff well trained smart and professional. The food tasted outstanding my wife said she had never experienced a plain chicken curry that tasted as good. I had to have a taste expecting a bland tasting curry. WRONG it was packed full of amazing flavours. You could tell this wasn’t a dish that was thrown together . A great deal of thought went into the spice choices here it shined through. All of the dishes were presented well and really importantly hot and on hot plates. After the meal we chatted to the waiter who went in depth into what they are trying to create. I got put in my place when I said the plain chicken curry was amazing and that I usually think they are boring. He said “ No plain chicken curry is the mother of all curries “ what a great statement and so true. If you can’t do the basics right it’s never going to be right. We left feeling happy and we will be going back to see what else is on that menu of theirs. Long review but they deserve a decent mention. We have been in Indian restaurants in a lot of places in many cities with amazing reputations. It’s great to discover little gems like this in the backstreets of Shields making it work through difficult times. It’s worth a visit in our opinion give them a go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Ordered take away. Was ready at time predicted. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good sized portions of fabulous food. This is now our go to curry restaurant for eating in and take aways.

  • 5/5 John H. 10 months ago on Google
    Had a Vindaloo which was very well made. Right balance of heat and flavour. What really elevated the experience was the staff. The person who invented the "special garlic chilli naan" deserves special recognition, that was really good and different from other naan. Come here if you fancy a proper curry, and make sure you try the garlic chilli naan!

  • 5/5 Rebecca B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely gorgeous meal. The guys who work there are really great and have a lovely rapport with all of the customers too, clearly a lot of returning diners and they are really passionate about the food too. The paneer and mushroom are a MUST, my new favourite starter. Can't wait to return, highly recommend.

    Food was beautiful. I ordered a beef balti and it was just melt in the mouth. My partner ordered lamb chops and then were divine. 1st time trying this place but will definitely be back. I would say the best Indians in South shields (and I am aware there are so many)

  • 3/5 Luke B. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and really friendly staff. Food was good but nothing special, just as good as a takeaway but at a higher price. Also found a lovely black hair cooked into my naan.
