" I’ve tried Middle Eastern restaurants all over the country, and I can confidently say Layalina ranks among the best. The food was bursting with flavors, especially the garlic sauce with the chicken shish tawook. The service was also attentive, with the owner regularly checking on our table. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic taste and a cozy atmosphere. I’ll be making this my regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many Middle Eastern restaurants, but Layalina stands out! The atmosphere is both tranquil and immersive. The food was delicious – especially the grilled vegetables and shawarma! Each of us raved about our dishes. The prices are reasonable for the quality offered. What truly made the night special was the service; everyone there was so genuinely kind and helpful. This will definitely be my new go-to spot for Middle Eastern cuisine in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience was nice, the setting was charming, and the atmosphere relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind. The service was average, though, as we encountered some delays with our orders. The food is authentic and tasty, though the portions were smaller than expected for the price. I enjoyed my meal but left slightly underwhelmed. I might give it another shot, but I hope for improved service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Layalina was a memorable experience! The owner came to greet our group, making us feel like family from the start. The variety of hookah flavors available was impressive, and the ones we tried were of top-notch quality. We also enjoyed their Lebanese burger which had unique flavors. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, perfect for a nice evening. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine with great hookah! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things, I finally decided to try Layalina with friends. The service was a bit slow initially, but soon we were well attended to. We got the hummus and pita to start, and the freshness was delightful. The main course was the beef kabob and it was juicy and well-seasoned. However, the atmosphere could have been a bit more lively. Overall, a good experience! " (*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!
