" This restaurant has definitely earned a repeat visit from me! The food was amazing, especially the spicy lentil soup, which was so comforting. The atmosphere was vibrant, making it great for a night out with friends. The service was prompt and courteous. I also enjoyed their mint tea! Highly recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't have the best experience at Layalina. Unfortunately, the service was slow, and the food was pretty average, not necessarily what I'd call authentic. While the hookah was decent, I felt that it was too overpriced for what we received overall. The staff was nice, but I'd recommend checking out other spots nearby before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although some aspects of my visit were good, like the hookah, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. The portions seemed small compared to what I was charged, and the flavors were not as bold as I had hoped. The service was nice, and the setting was charming. I'd be open to trying different dishes if I come back, but I was left a bit disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed bag of experiences at Layalina. Some dishes hit the mark, like the shawarma and hummus, which were full of flavor. However, the kabob was a bit overcooked. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice for groups. I might go back for some of their hookah options, but I'll be cautious with my meal choices next time. Overall, a decent place with potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fabulous experience at Layalina! The staff really made us feel at home right when we walked in. We ordered the grape leaves, which were fantastic, and the chicken kabob was equally wonderful. Each bite had a burst of flavor. The service was excellent, attentive and warm. I will definitely be coming back for both the food and the hookah here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I don't mind the wait because the food is so worth it. We ordered a variety of appetizers and main courses, and everything was delicious. The portions are generous, and the staff is always smiling and helpful. Make sure to save room for dessert – I highly recommend the kanafeh. Truly a hidden gem in the heart of the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Layalina! The ambience was cozy, and the décor gave a nice Middle Eastern vibe. I ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was cooked to perfection. The spices were authentic, reminiscent of my travels to the region. The staff was incredibly friendly and ensured that our drinks were always full. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!
