Lila Molino + Cafe

Our multicultural team of cooks and chefs provides decades of progressive culinary experience from work and study in Mexico, the U.S., Europe, and beyond.

At the helm is Shaw Lash, a diligent steward of authentic Mexican cuisine. Lash worked as chef alongside Chicago’s Rick Bayless, a pioneer of modern, regionally-inspired Mexican food in the U.S., as the team opened a variety of fast-casual Mexican concepts in both Chicago and New York.

Lash further fed her passion and dedication to preserving authentic Mexican flavors and culinary techniques by studying under Diana Kennedy, an ethno-gastronomer who revealed the art, history, significance, and complexity of Mexican cuisine to an international audience. Chef Lash is deeply knowledgeable of the techniques, flavors, and nuances of Mexican cookery and is proud to bring the splendor of authentic Mexican cuisine to Dubai at Lila.
