LABA Kitchen & Grill

Warm hospitality and fresh Turkish-Pakistani cooking in the Old Town

LABA Kitchen & Grill is the kind of small, owner-run restaurant that wins people over with hospitality as much as food. Set near Trakų g. 7-8 in the Old Town, it's overwhelmingly praised for its exceptionally friendly and welcoming owner, who builds a warm, personal atmosphere in a cosy and simple room. Several semi-private corners make it a versatile choice for groups or a more private conversation.

The kitchen turns out authentic, freshly prepared Turkish and Pakistani dishes — kebabs, manti dumplings, menemen and a generous traditional Turkish breakfast (designed for two or more), plus waffles and proper Turkish coffee. Many diners highlight the personal touch and the reasonable prices, and the owner is noted for being accommodating with special requests.

Good to know

Because food is cooked fresh to order, expect a wait of roughly 15–20 minutes — worth it for the quality. If your kebab arrives a touch dry, you can simply ask for extra sauce. As with many small kitchens, a few items have struck some diners as on the pricier side, but the overall value and warmth keep regulars coming back.

Delivery is available via Bolt Food. Confirm current opening hours on the venue's own channels before visiting, as small kitchens adjust them seasonally.
