The food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour.The service was exceptional. The waitress was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed, which made my dining experience even more enjoyable. Seems that I'm coming back there to try more :) Thank you for the lovely evening!
Excellent Mediterranean food. We had salmon and carbonara. Both were excellent. They take a bit of time to cook, but everything was fresh and served beautifully. Recommend.
Amazing place, delicious food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend it. The Best spot in Luton
Great place. The food is great and the service flawless. I had the chicken with mushrooms and white sauce and the portion was highly generous and very tasty. Went outside to smoke a cigarette and then Visi and Elli came and invited me. There is a large terrace at the back with plenty of tables that are generously spaced. All in all good food, very nice staff and a spotless place. 100 percent recommend.
By far the best restaurant in Luton, and yes, it's not a pub, it's a restaurant! We visited two evenings in a row and the food was just outstanding and crazy delicious. The service was impeccable and Ada with Geri were amazing!
The Illyrians Restaurant & Lounge exceeded all my expectations! The steak was absolutely phenomenal—one of the best I have ever had, cooked to perfection with an incredible depth of flavor. The service was top-notch, with staff who were both attentive and welcoming, ensuring a fantastic dining experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an outstanding culinary experience. Will definitely be returning soon!
Firstly, outstanding service from Ada. She was very attentive throughout, even when dealing with a huge influx of customers and one table of 25! Thank you, you’re a credit to the business… and I’m still laughing about the milks!!!By recommendation, I went with the whole Sea Bream with roasted potatoes and veg. It was truly delicious, perfectly cooked. I’d highly recommend it.In fact I was so excited to start eating it, I forgot to take a picture before hand… hence the partially eaten fish in the picture!Really great setting inside the restaurant, well decorated and good atmosphere… the music was great too!Shame this is a one off visit to the area for me, otherwise I’d really enjoy eating there again soon… you lucky local people!
Excellent food and service. Portion size is excellent. Lovely decor and clean. Highly recommend .
