Went there for lunch on a Saturday and had the chicken shawarma which was recommended by the waitress. Very flavorful and put together. I wasn't very hungry but will go back to try other dishes. Very good customer service as well. Definitely coming back.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Layla's. The apps, entres, and deserts are fantastic, do not skip the baklava! This was my first visit, will return!

This restaurant is a gem of Lake Ridge. You'll honestly not find such consistently good food and service anywhere else. It's like visiting your Lebanese neighbor's home for dinner. I highly recommend the appetizer platters to get a sense of quality and taste.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome. The booth seating minimizes rambunctiousness.

Best and most authentic Lebanese food I ever had in the US, and I have tried many over decades. This is the real thing.

Absolutely incredible staff and food. I recommend without any reservations. My very picky 86 year old Lebanese friend LOVES the food here. (Although it ain’t her Grandma’s, but what is!?! ???)

I love this place - food is delicious. The best humus!
Very good authentic Lebanese cuisine. The platters are really good to taste a little of everything to know what to get next time. It's family-owned and operated, which makes the food and service more personal. You feel you're experiencing a family's hospitality.
The food is amazing ? ?The staff is very professional and niceAlso, the decorations are pure ArabicIt is the only place i go to after trying all the Arabic restaurants in Budapest when i miss Syrian food since it is similar to lebanese..In my opinion this restaurant is only a restaurant in the city which i can say it is a really good arabic restaurant and represents the good Arabic foodAlso, the desserts and drinks are unique ? genuine Shami desserts ? ? and drinks, especially alcoholic like Arak ???Highly recommended ?Vegetarian options: The Shami cuisine is blissed with a lot of vegetarian and vegan food!
I bought the garlic whip and jalapeños cilantro spread at a farmer's market and was able to sample tons of other flavors. Each one just as amazing as the last. You can tell they really make their stuff with love. I can't wait to get more! Also, the owner I met was an absolute gem!
The best Lebanese food in Northern
