We had a Company dinner function at Leyla! The owner and staff are absolutely amazing! Food, Drinks, and Service are an absolute 5 Star. They serve authentic Lebanese/ Mederiterian food! I Highly Recommend this for an evening out! This restaurant and staff made this experience one of the most memorable dinners I have ever had! Thank you and keep up the Fenominal Service!!!

This restaurant was so refreshing and absolutely delish!! Best grape leaves I have ever had, so tender. My vegan friend got the lentil entree and it was the best out of all ours. The banter in here is wonderful. They will just tell you what to eat and drink lol we ❤️ it! The tabouli, the Kibby, the hummus, the chicken Shawarma, and the steak kebab were all delicious. None of us were disappointed! Great atmosphere, great food great family what did you ask for?

Food was good but kind of pricey. Drinks were tasty but tiny. Service was good. Very friendly hosts. Window seating was a plus but the gnats were not. Overall okay.

great food , great service, we have enjoyed it very much. The restaurant is family style with traditional homemade lebanese food. The owner is friendly and authentic. The lentil soup is to die for, the hummus chef, the falafel and the kebab are exquisite. Save a spot for their desserts and the Turkish coffee is wonderful. We encourage to stop at this true gem !

After a busy tourist day we went to “the Lebanese place” that a friend had highly recommended. It was a relaxing atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and the best moussaka I’ve ever had. I left stuffed!

I had the pleasure of celebrating my 30th birthday by having dinner here and it was absolutely exceptional. Every staff member was incredibly kind and friendly. The food was fabulous, tasty, and authentic. As an Arab, this was the perfect meal. The owner is so sweet and we had an amazing time. The level of service and authenticity is truly unmatched. We will be back! Thank you for an unforgettable meal and experience.

This was the best meal in Charleston for my money! We ate a ton of good food during our trip but when I tell you something special is happening here I am not lying. Family run with Setti cooking all the meals and the family running the front of the house. The quality of food is stellar. The service is prompt and gracious. The flavors are amazing!! The lamb was tender and seasoned to perfection. The knefe was the perfect ending to an amazing meal.
If you are hit eating here agent you are in Charleston, shame on you!! The food was amazing, the owner is even more amazing and Mike hooked us up!! Seriously, this was so good!!

My wife and I seek out Lebanese restaurants on our travels. This time we found ourselves in Charleston SC and Leyla did not disappoint. It felt like I was eating out of my Lebanese Grandma’s kitchen. Absolutely delicious. My wife had the lamb shank, I tried the shish tawook. The hummus was light and flavorful and our tabouleh perfectly fresh. A must try! Looking forward to more visits in the future. Owner, Doli, makes rounds, classy!
We visited this restaurant for the first time last night, around 8:00 PM, right in the heart of King Street, surprisingly, we were the only guests at that time.
The menu prices were on the higher side, but I was willing to give it a try, expecting the quality and portions to match. The dish I ordered came with French fries and a few pieces of beef. The meat was cooked well and tasted good, but it was roughly 7 oz alongside fries, and the price was $46.
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was good, though not exceptional, with portions that felt a bit unbalanced. Overall, considering what was served, the cost felt difficult to justify.
