Happy hour is 4-6 pm, and the house wines and cocktails are $5. Great deal! And there is a selection of mini Greek appetizers during happy hour too... little lamb burgers, pita with hummus... all very tasty and enjoyable. If you stay for dinner you can enjoy Greek lamb dishes, and octopus, which is one of my favorites. Dinner is... More

This is my favorite sort of restaurant: the ingredients are fresh, the servings aren't too large and the flavors are savory without being too precious. I like the atmosphere, too, and the location is just great for a quick bite or a business lunch. Be sure to try the "all dips" option: you'd be amazed how tasty anchovy and cauliflower... More

I don't know how Tom Douglas always manages to have so many hit restaurants, but I know if I swing by one of his places, I'm in for a good treat. Lola has some amazing lamb - smooth, tender meat without the awful gamey flavor that lamb usually has. Also, the pita bread and dipping sauces? Especially the garlicky one?... More

I loved this place. I went with my mom and sisters and we split several of their yummy dips with pita as well as some main courses. The service was great and food superb. More

I've eaten at Lola at least 15 times. I have my favorites I keep coming back to because they never disappoint. When I branch out and try something new, I'm not sorry. Favorites: lamb burger, Feta salad, various dips and pita, the "sizzling plate" preparations (salmon, squid, chicken, etc.). More

if you like Med food, this is a good place for you. Nice take on greek, morrocan fare. I especially like the chicken skewers with tzatziki as well as the shrimp skewers. Nice wine list, not too expensive but not really a family restaurant either. More
