Lale Mediterranean Cuisine

An intimate Turkish restaurant on Park Avenue, Lale blew me away! To start, you have to order the lavash. We ordered two for a table a 4 because it's just that good. It's always amazing to see how much puff there is! We got a plate of haydari and a plate of babaganush to dip and enjoy with it.For my main, I got a plate of chicken Adana which came with rice and orzo blend along with pickled vegetables. The chicken was tender and flavorful. Pickled red cabbage is always my favorite and theirs was delicious. A classic dish done superbly! We had great service that was accommodating to our dietary needs and we were able to grab a walk in on a Friday night. Highly recommend!

Lale is a tucked away gem on popular Park Avenue! Felt like such a treat. After weighing a few nearby options, we decided to give Lale a try. As we came in pretty early, we had no trouble getting a table but the establishment is quite cozy and packed in quickly. Make a reservation if you want to dine during peak hours. We enjoyed a variety of excellent dishes and pleasant service during our evening. We of course started with a lavash and a couple of dips. The hot hummus was by far our favorite! That's a must try! The ezme was a close second. Very flavorful with a touch of heat! I also have to rave about the falafel. I always find falafel to be hit or miss because often times they can be dry. These ones hit the mark. Fried nicely without losing moisture. Can't wait to come back to Lale sooner than later. The entire menu sounded delicious and I have already mentally book marked several options for my next visit!

Visiting from out of town and stopped here for a late lunch. Not busy at 4pm and ate outside. Behar was a wonderful waitress and helped us navigate the menu since we're not familiar with Turkish food. Let me tell you- the lavish with hot hummus mixed with their homemade hot sauce, sooo good. My husband had the 5-hr lamb shank that fell off the bone. I ate light and shared his meal and also had the lentil soup which was also very good. Turkish coffee was like an espresso shot and delish! All the flavors hit the spot. People walking by kept saying "that looks so good". Would definitely return here.

Authentic, consistent, and delicious Mediterranean food in a cozy shop on the edge of winter park. I love to go with my wife or friends who dig good food and want a place to hear each other. The warm hummus is an absolute gem and the ground chicken kabobs are my favorite in the state of Florida. I give a strong recommendation!

Service was quick to have us seated, order placed and food to come out. We were continuously checked on which is appreciated. Everything tasted authentic, fresh and hot, especially the lavash. The tea was refreshing. Plenty of seating. Parking on the side street. Love the location, shopping stores all around to walk too and check out. Place gives a cozy feel. 2nd time coming around. Will be back !

Wonderful service though a very tight space. At par with Bosphorus down the street, not sure how their prices differ

Came here towards the end of lunch on a summer Thursday afternoon around 2. There was one waiter who was clearly overwhelmed. There was table that was done indoors and it took another half hour to clear. We said we'd wait outside and browse the menu meanwhile. We even gave him the lunch order and the hummus salad and bread came out before he even got the ladies their recipet and cleared the table. We were never brought silver ware but were give. Bread and salad and ezme. Shepard salad was good well seasoned but different than my style. The ezme was good and flavorful. The bread was perfect. The mixed grill was fine. All meat was very flavorful. Rice was a big soggy. I wish the veggies that came with were pickled. The place is tiny at best but it's solid food overall

100000% one of the best restaurants in Orlando. Def best food in Winter Park. Food is 10/10 we tried everything.Food: Ordered Numerous apps, entrees, dessert, & tea. This is a hidden gem . The food is delicious & fresh. After all the great food, we ordered dessert with tea and it was the best kanafa I have ever had. If you are a fan of pistachio, you have to try this.Ambiance: lovely location in the heart of park Ave. from the outside you would never know how amazing this spot is. It's smaller in size, but it makes it feel very homey and authentic. Great portion & price as well.Service: If you're deciding between here and Bosphorus - come here. I've been to Bosphorus hundreds of times, and I only came here once and it has won me over. Since I came, I recommend all my local friends & family to visit this restaurant. If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would. One of my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant. I will definitely return again.

Homemade Excellent flavorGood serviceQuaint location Nice ambiance'Great food Wonderful serviceServer Can (Turkish name) pronounced John in English provided clean plates during each course. He also showed great effort in providing service.Food is excellent and great pride is taken to provide good quality meals.

What a wonderful little surprise Lale is. Small and unassuming yet a delightful place to dine a wonderful menu at a very reasonable price. Offer both a lunch and dinner portions for each item. The Turkish tea was wonderful and a very cold winter day. The lamb and chicken items are spiced just right and the compliment of a jasmine rice finishes up a delightful addition to the meal. The restaurant is small so I would encourage you to make reservations but on your next trip to Winter Park do not pass by this wonderful gem.
