We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Karla. Definitely recommend you book as it was super busy. Great, fun & friendly vibe. You can book online or by phone. They cater for babies & provided us with a high chair for our grandson. Food was asian fusion with the perfect amount of spice. Fresh, vibrant and testy. Meet was tender and succulent. We ordered plates to share. Great variety of drinks. They also offer a Yum Cha on Saturday & Sundays with alcoholic or non alcoholic options. Located right next to the train station so easy to get public transport almost to their door.If you are in Perth city, definitely worth a try. Elevator access for prams & disabled people.

Had the pleasure of having the feed me menu Saturday night 20/12/25. An unforgettable dining experience. The food took us on a true culinary and taste journey, with every dish beautiful presented and full of flavour. The evening was perfectly complemented by the impeccable service from Cornelia - warm, attentive and professional. Highly recommend for anyone looking for exceptional food and outstanding service. They catered for to the guests with food allergies on our table so well. Deb

I’m delighted to share my great experience at KARLA last week during our maiden visit to this place. We had an amazing experience at Karla and got best service the moment we stepped in from the booking to the greeting to the table service. Karla has a lively ambience and an awesome setting for a fun lunch experience. They have menu mix of Asian inspired dishes and the dishes we tried were delicious.Furthermore they served the food very quickly to satisfy our taste buds. All the staff members served their customers with an honest and beautiful smile on their face! I would love to enjoy Karla’s food and their amazing service in future also!

Taken out by my besties for a reunion catch up back in October. We chose the β€œFeed me” menu. Flavours were fantastic & the food kept coming. We were definitely spoilt for choice. Service by the English server we had was brilliant & we definitely had a great evening at Karla.

Lovely service from the team at Karla especially our server Jar Jar! She’s so attentive and have served us well throughout our brunch session. Food is so flavourful and the bottomless drinks is worth it. We got bubblies as soon as we sat and the team served us with our preferred cocktail after. Cocktails were not watered down unlike some other boozy places in Perth! We enjoyed our time and had the best service since get go! From the booking to the greeting to the table service. By far one of my favourite place to have a boozy brunch in Perth! Keep it up! We would be back again next time and thank you for the great service team! We are of course also grateful that they did not ask us to leave as soon as the 2 hours is up! By far one of the best place I’ve dined in in Perth. Here’s some photos of the food! Chef you did a great job too!

Karla has such a vibrant and lively atmosphere, the perfect setting for a fun dining experience. The menu is a creative mix of Asian-inspired dishes, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We shared the kangaroo tartare, prawn dumplings, tom yum fried rice, rib eye filet, and the pork chops each plate was full of flavor and beautifully balanced. The food also came out fairly quickly, which made the experience even smoother. Our waiter, Tom, was fantastic helpful, attentive, and always smiling, which really added to the service. I also enjoyed the mocktail mojito, which was refreshing and well made. Definitely a place I’d recommend and one I’d happily come back to!
