    Excellent food, and service. Staff were attentive, and accommodating. Very nice ambience. Have been to sister restaurant Andaaz numerous times. Will add this to my list of favorites for delicious Indian cuisine and very nice atmosphere.

    So glad we came here! Ambiance is on point. Good music. Service was phenomenal. Food was amazing. We had the pork ribs, sweet potato, chicken tandoori and dal. Everything by was great but the pork stood out. For dessert, the ras mali was fantastic and unique. Not sweet which is nice and the saffron rice pudding was delish- Cool and creamy on a hot day.

    Laila is a newcomer to the crowded Asheville Indian restaurant scene and may need a bit of time to find its way. We were 4 and 2 of us really enjoyed our dishes. The others were ok. Neither memorable nor awful. The much touted cocktail was wholly uninspired. The service was geared toward upselling and despite asking for 2 checks, the only man at the table was given one.
