Called in for a take away.. placed order and had a couple of drinks while we waited. As was getting prepared a customer came in as his order was wrong. We then took our meal home and our order was also wrong?? Rang them and after Spanish Inquisition realised they had gave us the wrong order. Over priced anyways to start with, won’t be back to eat but only to get the money they owe us

I came here recently for my birthday night meal. As there was 8 of us I booked ahead. Even though when we arrived we were told we didn't have a booking this was rectified by the highly competent staff. Anyways ..... The food man. It's just straight up delicious in every conceivable way. I had the mixed starter to share and everything on it was incredible. Followed that bad boy up with a lamb phall which was awesome, though try telling that to my tender butt in the morn.... Totally worth it. Well played Lasun .. till we meet again

We've been coming here for ages and I just realised that I'd not left a review. The place is quite small so it's very intimate. The staff are amazing, nothing is a bother to any of them. The food is fantastic, we've never had a disappointing meal. There are cheaper Indian restaurants in town but there are none better.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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

Highly Recommended- But Disappointing. Decided to visit this place after rave reviews from others, and for my Wife's birthday. Far too noisy for me seated in the naughty corner, as it was occupied by two families with youngsters. And I was right under the loud speaker, and another table were well oiled. I had to put tissue paper in my ears to drown out the noise. The Staff were friendly and attentive, we didn't have to wait too long for the food. It was absolutely under whelming though, there are far better eating houses in South Shields. The portions were adequate and hot, but unfortunately not as good as I was expecting. The bill was a tad salty too at 56quid, but I'm told that's the norm. We had two starters, two main courses, chips, rice, two poppadoms, 1 Blackcurrant and soda and two pints of Cobra. I suppose the 20% VAT racks it up, all in all not the dining experience that I was expecting !!!

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!

This restaurant never fails to miss the spot. We went on New years Eve and had another fantastic meal, this time from the set menu. The staff make you feel like a member of their family and can not do enough for you to make it a special occasion every time. I know there's a lot of choice in South Shields for an Indian meal, and most of them are very good, but Lasun is on another level.

Your greeted by some of the friendliest staff in any restaurant. Josh in particular makes you feel special and makes every visitor feel important. We travel 20 miles to visit as the staff and the food make it worth it. We have made many visits and the food is simply exceptional and ALWAYs to the same very high standard. We simply can't fault the food. Not on the main road full of curry shops so make a point of seeking out lasun as it will be worth it for the authentic fresh taste.

We have been going here since the day this opened. The food is always beautiful and you can't get most of the dishes on their menu from anywhere else - locally. Chefs are A* as is Josh! place wouldn't be the same without him or his sauces!Yes, you may find there are delays in food service sometimes but this is simply because most items on the menu are made to order. For me personally, food is always worth the wait!Kathi Kebab / Sheek Pura Murgh / Achari Murgh / Zal Zala Murgh are a must! Looking forward to sitting in again.

Visited midweek to support the restaurant during the phase of closure through Covid. Four starters, four mains, two drinks each. Superb value and everyone delighted with their meals. My lamb chops starter was fantastic and the king prawn rezalla main packed with layers of spice and flavour instead of just a load of heat and peppers that some restaurants serve. Still the undisputed king of dine in curry houses in South Shields, simply untouchable.

This was midweek and not at all busy so if this fantastic place with very good staff wants people to use it again and again get the kitchen staff up to speed. Not sure how long we all waited but it was far far too long . My score 9 from 10 for food and front of house staff and 3 from 10 for the very long wait....
