Our PhilosophySher Singh is more than just a restaurant, it's a celebration of Indian culture and cuisine. we emphasises Indian historical cuisine and provides traditional North Indian delights by deriving influence from ancient Indian cooking methods and spice combination.Our CuisineThe taste and flavours of the north Indian dishes are influenced by the Mughal dynasty that ruled India for three centuries. Food was rich and cooked with aromatic spices, nuts, and dried fruits that time in India's history. Our cuisine preparation is time consuming and intricate, given the numbers of flavourful sauces and butter based curries, almost as if it was designed to make people want more food.Our AtmosphereAt Sher singh, we believe that dining out should be a memorable experience. That's why we have created a warm and inviting atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of Indian culture. From the decor to the music, every element of our restaurant has been carefully curated.

    We had the most delightful lunch at Lulo & we felt the family owners bent over backwards to make our experience enjoyable. The service was meticulous, offering descriptions of family recipe dishes & new taste suggestions to try. The Indian Columbian/South American influences combined many ingredients, all fresh daily, & subtle flavours to enjoy. We will definitely be back & would not hesitate to recommend this interesting bar/restaurant, with the most friendly service you can find.
