lazat malaysian restaurant, sunshine

November 04, 2020/ Siobhan Relf

Relaxed dining with delicious food and an enclosed space with a playground. What more could Mamma ask for?! Lazat in Sunshine has been serving up a great deal of tasty Malaysian food for happy families for many years, and the playground is a great feature for fun dining in. Choose to sit right next to it or stay inside knowing they are safely enclosed. There is even a little water feature with a few fishies swimming around, which is great fun for the kids to try to spot!
