Laila Restaurant And Lounge

Everything about this restaurant was amazing! We loved the food, service, atmosphere and drinks. We highly recommend it for delicious, fun experience!

Upon arriving for our reservation, we were told that there were no spots for us due to someone renting out the restaurant for the night. No one ever reached out before the time of the reservation or cancelled it. We showed up for no reason just to be told to leave. 1/5 stars

The restaurant was absolutely beautiful, and the ambiance was so relaxing and diverse. The service was phenomenal, and our waiter, John, was incredibly friendly. He truly made the experience even better with his kind and engaging conversation. The food, once again, was just terrific—it was such a delight to explore and enjoy the wonderful culture and flavor of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Delicious food

The menu alone was impressive, but, when you arrive and see the restaurant in person, the decked out decor will surely make you do a double take. Then when the food came, I kid you not, literally every dish we ordered was SO GOOD! From the salad to the mixed grill to the homemade baklava—they were all so delicious! Customer service was amazing as well! So attentive and kind. I’m staring this place because I think I just found a hidden gem on the island!

We went early on Friday night for dinner so it was quiet. Good food friendly service. We sat for over 2 hrs and the staff didn't make us feel rushed at all. Food was very tasty and fresh. Dessert was also very good . The drinks from the bar were also very tasty but a little light on the alcohol imo. All in all a nice dinner spot if you want to try Mediterranean food. I would definitely go back

It was a beautiful atmosphere here threw a small engagement party diner staff were lovely and John took amazing care of us definitely recommend it to anyone on the fence about trying this place :)

I had a really disappointing experience here. They overcharged me, especially with their automatic service fees and tip charges. I originally ordered a chicken shawarma to go, but changed my mind and asked to dine in while I was waiting. From that point on, I was getting rude and uncomfortable looks that made me feel unwelcome.. On top of that, the food was dry. Definitely not coming back
