Food And Wine Ombudsman
+4
Lalla Rookh, in the basement of Allandale Square, offering high quality Italian fare, has three main areas – a bar when you first enter off the food court, a more dimly lit dining area, and through another set of doors the Wine Store off Sherwood Court where you can browse the racks of wine bottles, have a drink or take a bottle or two home, as well as have food brought through from the restaurant. It is a favourite place, but on this most recent visit we decided to seat ourselves in the restaurant area.
Fantastic dinner tonight! The service was really lovely and attentive and the food quite nice. A few issues with the booking (kept getting emails changing our booking time, even after we’d sat down)! Otherwise a really nice and pleasant night out!

The food was great! My friend and I ordered a pork & fennel pizza and squid ink pasta. I honesty loved them both! The pizza was flavourful and the pasta was just delicious with the crab toppings and all. The price was okay, id be happy to come back and try their other pizzas and pastas! The only thing i didnt like was the absence of tiramisu on their desserts menu..
Great customer service, genuine and friendly. Produce were fresh and delicately cooked. Squid ink pasta was tasty with a mild kick. Sardines super fresh and one must soak the purée with bread and not be wasted. Have bookmarked and will come back when in Perth.
In a time when quality restaurants can be hard to find - let alone stay afloat - C Restaurant has remained a shining beacon in our local industry. Again, thank you for making our evening such a special one. You certainly showcased Perth in a very positive manner!
Low key and casual but with a touch of sophistication. lalla Rookh is definitely worth a visit. The quail was cooked to perfection and seasoned so well it was impossible to fault. The spaghetti with crab was just as fantastic. The pasta was al dente, heaps of crab and just so tasty. It is a bit noisy, but not unpleasantly so. It would be good to see a few more options on the menu but so far, I am very impressed.
Nice atmosphere, good drinks list and great service. Food was nice, but some dishes lacked seasoning or were poorly balanced in terms of salty, sour, sweet.
Would probably go back
Great restaurant. Had a wine I've been looking for which was even better (a Foradori Teroldego). Would have tried the El Capo but for one, that was going to be too much - the three dishes I did have were very well cooked and presented (octopus, and pink schnapper, finished with cheese selection). Could quibble about the big group behind me, but the service couldn't be faulted - attentive, interested (and interesting!). Great meal to finish off a trip to Perth
Amazing food, with spot on recommendations from our awesome waitress, Jess (the veal dish is a must)! Service was fantastic as were the cocktails. A new favourite place to add to our list, we’ll definitely be back.
The staff were friendly and helpful with our order and the meals were great.
Located next to the Mary Street Bakery.
A good place to stir back and relax.
Really enjoyed our meal here!, great atmosphere, friendly staff and prompt service! (We had an early evening reservation)The wine list is compehensive and my cocktails were delish. Well worth a visit!
We had the pizza special which was a perfect balance of flavour and simple choice of ingredients, unusually tasty and a perfect crust. We Added to our lunch a serve of arancini and a serve of fried chicken also delicious we couldn't finish it all so took some home in a box. I can also I say the service was notably good, the waiter could comfortably describe everything on the menu, thank you for a great break in our day. If you go there remember to try the warm fresh bread served just before the meal with a drizzle of the olive oil from the bottles on the table. An added surprise.
I really love this place. It has 3 different ambiences, courtyard for causal eating, sit in restaurant and wine store. You essential a have buy 1 get 3 vibes free!
The service for me was impeccable. This felt like Melbourne, New York, Asia hybrid service. The barkeep give me an education with the fine wines, the waiters introduced the dishes we ordered and the fit out felt truly on point.
Kudos to the owners and the managers and training for the staff.
In photos Vongole, Crab Spaghettini, gluten free fried chicken all fantastic!
Very attentive service, we had the chefs selection of 6 courses 4 out of 6 were great. The pork crust was too salty and the past course presentation was pretty slack for a place that is supposed to be high end. The wine list was very great and I was pleased with all four wines we tried.
