Octopus was a little undercooked. Was kind of mushy the entire way through. The zucchini fritters were kind of like hockey pucks made of cardboard. The mezze were pretty good- favorite was the smoked eggplant (Atom). Would probably try a meat dish next time. They do have a good happy hour deal!

Had a fantastic dinner at Leyla! Our waitress Emily was so sweet and helpful guiding us through the menu and Turkish traditions! The cheese pide was outstanding, the truffle honey sends it to another level
