Laila Extra Long Grain Basmati Rice

I cannot recommend Laila's Extra Long Grain White Basmati Rice enough – it’s become my go-to for all rice dishes at home! The grains are truly extra long and separate perfectly every single time I cook them, never clumping together. The subtle, fragrant aroma fills my kitchen as it cooks and adds a lovely depth to both simple pilafs and elaborate curries. Knowing it’s 100% gluten free is a huge plus for my family, and the 5kg pack offers fantastic value for money, lasting us weeks with regular use. Cooking is straightforward too – it follows standard basmati instructions and consistently delivers fluffy, delicious results. Whether I’m making biryani for special occasions or a quick weekday rice side, this rice never disappoints. Hands down the best basmati I’ve tried in the UK market – well worth every penny!

Laila Basmati Rice has become my go-to rice for everyday meals as well as special occasions. The grains are long, slender, and cook beautifully fluffy with a lovely natural aroma that you expect from good quality basmati. Each grain stays separate, with no stickiness, making it ideal for biryanis, pulao, fried rice, or simple steamed rice. What really stands out is the consistency. Every bag delivers the same quality, which is not always the case with basmati brands. The rice absorbs flavours well, yet retains its structure, giving a premium feel once cooked. Even plain rice tastes great with just a little ghee or butter. It also cooks evenly and doesn’t require excessive soaking, which is a bonus for busy cooking days. The value for money is excellent considering the quality, fragrance, and results. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys authentic basmati rice and wants reliable results every time. Will definitely continue purchasing.

Good quality rice, taste is exceptional when cooked

Good quality rice and a large pack for the price. It tastes like regular basmati. It’s described as “extra long grain”, so I expected the grains to be a bit longer.

Lovely rice but my mother in law is a rice snob so I had to go back to the more expensive tilda :(

With the help of reviews i bought it make today. It’s absolutely fine long rice. I can say it’s pure basmati rice. I got good aroma and test is best.

good quality and good price

Best rice ever. Cooks up flaky and non sticky.Stores without attracting rice mites as they are not already embedded in the grain from the off due to stringent handling and selection procedures.
