We went today for the first time for lunch, walked into a warm, friendly and cozy restaurant. We were welcomed in and seated right away, our server was so nice and friendly! The food was truly amazing! From the warm pita and hummus to the mixed grill platter and tea afterwards was delicious! Definitely will be back again! Pictured is the mixed grill platter for 2, hummus and salad.

Went for the first time yesterday. Food and service were wonderful. The baklava was top-notch. Not exaggerating when I say we had a beautiful spiritual experience that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Our server was amazing and I pray the God blesses her life abundantly. .

Welcoming, and warm. Kind hosts. The food is fresh, home made. I trust this place because you know you’re getting food made on the premises. The meats are excellent, side dishes just as delicious. I highly recommend this place. It’s your mom and pop restaurant that you would surely find in a small village in the Mediterranean. The Baklava is to die for!

Just the place we have been looking! Food was amazing! I had the tea and it was wonderful. The Baklava was the best we have had in years. The staff were very friendly. We will be back often.

Leyla was hands down the best meal we’ve had all week while visiting family in the area.
We started with the grape leaves, which were excellent, and the flatbread with olive oil they bring out at the start was amazing. Warm, pillowy, and honestly hard to stop eating. Even our kids, 2 years old and 10 months, loved it. My wife ordered the cabbage rolls, I had the gyro doner, and both were outstanding. The kids got mac and cheese, and it was clearly made with care, not just an afterthought.
What really stood out was how kind and thoughtful the staff were with our kids. They brought the kids’ food out early so it could cool down before we started eating and gave them special attention that made us feel genuinely welcome, not like we were those people with little kids.
We took baklava to go, and wow. Unbelievably airy, sweet, and perfectly balanced. One of the best we’ve had.
The atmosphere is unique and incredibly welcoming. It doesn’t feel like a chain restaurant at all. It feels more like being invited into a friend’s home. The staff keep that feeling going with their attentiveness and kindness, and it makes the whole experience something special.
Can’t recommend Leyla enough. We’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in town.

The food is AMAZING- the char, the flavor, the presentation 10/10. If I wasn't just visiting I'd be eating here as often as possible.

If I could give 10 stars (or more!), I would.
Have you ever gone into a place and felt so immediately and warmly welcomed that feeling like family doesn’t even begin to describe it?
The food is delicious, portions are generous and artfully presented. Emma and Comert are both friendly and accommodating.
Get the cold appetizer and mixed grill and try it all! You will not be disappointed!
