" This is a great spot if you want to enjoy some late-night dining. I got the veggie platter and it was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy, and I appreciated the open patio area. I didn't feel rushed at all, which is a plus. The wait staff was friendly but could have been a bit more attentive, especially with drink refills. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Layali has Authentic Egyptian kabobs to die for! Seriously, I loved every bite of my meal, and let's not even get started on the hospitality. The owners make you feel truly welcomed as if you were part of their family! I highly encourage anyone to check this place out; it's truly a treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" To say I enjoyed my meal at Al Layali would be an understatement! The food transported me back to my travels in Egypt. I ordered the molokheya and couldn't get enough of it! The hospitality was off the charts as well. The owner was so engaging and even recommended some unique hookah flavors after our meal. This is a must-visit for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience! The food was delicious, especially the lamb kabobs, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Very generous portions too! The owner made us feel right at home, and we had a pleasant evening overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Al Layali late one night after a long day of exploring LA. At first, I was just looking for a quick bite, but I left completely satisfied and happy. The lentil soup was perfect for the chilly weather, and I had their beef kabobs which were so filling! The owner even sat with me for a chat. Just a reminder, their hours are perfect for night owls since they're open until 5 in the morning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed with my meal here. The falafel and dolmas seemed old and lacked flavor. I expected so much more based on the reviews. The atmosphere felt cluttered and noisy, making it hard to enjoy the meal. Would not recommend for food, although the hookah was decent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined here with friends and was pleasantly surprised. The lentil soup was splendid, and we really enjoyed the hospitality. I also loved how open and laid-back the atmosphere is. I will return for the hookah and possibly to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
