Layaly Mediterranean Restaurant

We booked a reservation for my best friend's birthday. Layaly, has by far, been the best restaurant we've been to in about 3 years. From the time we walked in - Christmas decorations, ornaments hanging, the bathrooms being completely decked out in wrapping paper - to when we sat down and were greeted - all the way to leaving, (I'm assuming it was the MOD) informed us that Santa usually gives out Golden Tickets from his sleigh but it was broken & we received a discount for our next time in. The vibe was absolutely there. But the food? THE FOOD?! I don't understand how every single dish that was brought to us, was better than the last. We got multiple appetizers, entrees and desserts to share and we were NOT disappointed. AND THAT BAKLAVA ICE CREAM with the Arabic coffee, do a little mixy mixy and made an affogato.... H E A V E N!!!! We will absolutely be back, there's no doubt about that.

The Christmas decor was outstanding! Great ambiance. Food was delicious. Service was a little slow to get items out. The kitchen ran out of items on the menu and a few things we wanted were not available. Overall very good. We will go back.

The food made everything worth it. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The timing of the food coming out was way off and the service wasn't the best. We never even got the rice that was supposed to come with the meal. Other than that, the food was amazing. I got the lamb shank. Highly highly recommend.

My friend and I discovered Layaly on Instagram because of their beautiful Christmas decorations and knew immediately we had to go. From the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded our expectations.

Our servers, Savannah and Sirius, were absolutely wonderful. They were kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, helping us navigate the menu and making us feel truly cared for throughout the evening.

One of the highlights for me was seeing Molokhia on the menu. It’s my favorite Egyptian dish, and when I mentioned that, Savannah immediately offered to bring the manager over. He graciously let me taste it before ordering and explained that it was the Lebanese version. It was incredible! Those small, thoughtful touches truly set Layaly apart and show how far they go to create a memorable experience for their guests.

We enjoyed everything from cocktails to our entrées and finished with the cookie skillet dessert. Every single dish was delicious, and the atmosphere made for such a special evening.

If you’re able to visit during the Christmas season, do not miss the decorations. And even if you go another time of year, this family-owned restaurant will absolutely win you over, just like it did for us. We can’t wait to go back.

Unfortunately, the food quality at dinner did not meet our expectations. The restaurant is presented as Mediterranean, but the menu and flavors felt more aligned with Indian cuisine. Additionally, we noticed extra drinks added to our bill, so we recommend reviewing the receipt carefully before paying.

Went to Layaly recently to celebrate a friend's birthday. We tried the Hummus and Kibbeh as appetizers and they were bothe super tasty. I got the Lamb Shank for my entree and it was delicious, the meat was so tender and seasoned to perfection. We got the baklava I've cream to finish the meal and we all loved it. Can't wait to go back and try more delicious food!

The food, atmosphere and service are all incredible. The stand out for us was the Labneh with lamb and Kafta Kabab - both were insanely flavorful and fresh! Our server was amazing and gave us some great recs and both the manager and one of the owners swing by our tables to check on us, which is always a nice touch. I'll be recommending this to all my foodie friends and I can't wait to come back!

Everything was excellent! The food was amazing; everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The food and drinks came out very quickly, which was a great plus. The service was very attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. Ask for Savana, her service is outstanding. The Christmas decorations created such a warm and cozy atmosphere, and the host dressed as Santa was a lovely touch. We truly had a wonderful experience!

Fantastic Experience! The food was so authentic and the prices were reasonable. I felt like I was back at my favorite restaurant in Doha, Qatar. The Labneh with Lamb and the Lamb Kabobs were mouth-watering good!
