"an excellent original place with good customer service. we ordered a mixtablette for two starters, sirloin steak and rib eye steak with mojito drinks. the appetizers consisted of 3x crispy roasted garnels, 2x large chicken wings, which are covered in a juicy aroma grill sauce with a bark rib. the bark rib was large, tender and melted in the mouth. all appetizers were excellent. mains, sirloin was ordered medium and the rib eye medium rare. both steaks were perfectly cooked on a chat grill and on our request. our mojito’s were both tasteful and fancyful with dry ice. the only recommendation I would give is to offer seasonal steamed veg as a guide or as a side. otherwise a quality restaurant that we will definitely visit again."

"I almost don't want to give Lilu more praise as getting a table is tough already but for all the right reasons. From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel exceptionally welcome. The staff were all very knowledgable and attentive without making you feel watched. The food arrived at a relaxed pace and was nothing short of sensational. This is most definitely not your usual indian restaurant. Both the food and service live up to it's Fine Dining strap line but in a friendly and informal setting."

The service was excellent and the staff were all very friendly. And let me tell you, the burritos were absolutely delicious! It was the best one I have ever had! When I return to Leicester, I will definitely be dining here again. XX"

"Beautiful little restaurant, food was amazing all plant based and sugar free, staff were lovely and had the best pancakes and avo on toast EVER!!, used to go to another vegan place in Leicester but this tops that by far, so healthy Louisa’s will now be my regular place when I’m the city centre.

"Went here last night at the tail end of an office Christmas party and we stumbled (quite literally inside having been turned away at a restaurant next door. It was past closing though their OPEN sign was still on. Anyway! Although Oppa was just about to close, they took us in, a group of 6, and stayed open until we finished. When I realized we were in a Korean restaurant, I was so excited; I've been searching for a good Korean restaurant in the midlands. My colleagues were much less so as they had never had Korean food and were unfamiliar with everything on the menu. I ordered for everyone and despite some of them being difficult one colleague kept asking for samosas, aah! the service was faultless. Staff were super attentive and helpful, patient, friendly, good fun, and extremely accommodating. Just perfect! And they stayed open for us quite late without rushing us out, what more can you ask for? Ok, so the food. It was SO so good and I'm already planning to go back. The kimchi was bang on how I like (a big deciding factor for me strongly fermented/pickled and spicy, and fresh. All the bulgogi (marinated meat , dolsot bibimbap (sizzling rice bowl , jjigae (stew/ramen style soups , seafood and extras that were served tasted just like I had hoped they would. Presentation was great everything looked properly appetizing and vegetables and seafood, etc were all clean and fresh. I was too busy stuffing my face and enjoying the moment and company to take photos, but the few photos I've seen on here are true to life. Other things people might be interested in: This restaurant is kitted out to cook Korean BBQ at/in/on your table. It is spacious, with lots of tables and room to move around. Decor is tasteful and minimal. It is clean and indeed I was warned by staff when going upstairs to the ladies' to be careful as the stairs and the toilets had all just been cleaned (and clean they were! . If you're looking for good Korean food, look no further. If you're looking to try Korean food for the first time, this is a great place to start. Go for it! Might see you there, if I can help it :D [I've copied this review over from where I originally posted it because this listing and the one for OPPA in Leicester are the same exact restaurant, FYI]"
