Lovely new menu. Real tasty dips and super lamb dishes, great Middle eastern food, excellent value and authentic flavours. Yummy baklava - huge! Nice relaxing music as well. We eat out often and this is up there with the best!

Had a fabulous celebration dinner here on Saturday night. Our second time dinning here since the new menu. The new Lale (la lay) branded Downbeat is a spectacular selection of Tapas with Middle Eastern flare. We had beautiful Charcoal kebabs chicken and lamb Goat Pide, 2 beautiful salads. Very generous portions and such warm friendly service. Highly recommend for a full dinner or after work /weekend drinks with some lovely sharing tapas. Give Lale a try beautiful food, beautiful people and simply stunning setting. Great work team see you all again soon.

First time we've been since the launch of the new menu. I understand that the restaurant will be rebranded soon so as to reflect the new image.
We shared a pita with 3 very tasty dips to start followed by two of the best kebabs (one chicken one steak) that we've had anywhere. Both were very generous servings, and were beautifully tender and well flavoured.
Cocktails were excellent and again generous.
Compliments to all the staff who were very friendly and attentive.
We enjoyed our meal here immensely and will definitely be back.

Delicious food, great service.

The food was good, with all meals freshly prepared. There were only 3 tables in use on a mid-week evening, which was great for us.

We had dinner here on a Friday night.
When walking along Orewa main road, we choose Downbeat because it looked the most appealing. Liked the atmoshere. Service was good and the Ribeye was yummy!
Would good back.

I ordered the ravioli and it was really tasty. The sauce it was in was really so yummy, would definitely order it again. My only comment would be that it was slightly on the small size for the price. The Creme Brulee was to die for. Will definitely be going back again... in the summer to hear live music!

I booked for 20 people last night and had not one complaint. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and thought the service was great. We were most impressed that everybody got their food around the same time considering we were such a large group. Well done guys.
