" First time visiting Hayat and it won’t be my last. The kebab was outstanding and the side of rice complemented it well. I appreciated the kind service and prompt attention despite how busy they were. The dessert selection was tempting, but I ended up trying the mango lassi instead which was refreshing. Overall, a delightful experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" On the fence about Hayat after my last visit. I really wanted to love it, however the food just didn’t wow me. The menu has promising options but the execution fell flat. The atmosphere was lovely, and the wait staff were polite and attentive, I cannot dispute that. I might give it one more shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a party at Hayat for my family, and it turned out to be an excellent experience! The staff were accommodating and made sure our needs were met. We ordered a variety of menu items and everything was delicious! I especially enjoyed the lamb dishes and the desserts that ended our meal on a perfect note. Definitely recommending this spot to others looking for a celebration! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Hayat was a bit of a mixed bag. While the ambiance was lively and the staff was friendly, the food didn’t meet our expectations. The lentil soup was watery and lacked spices, which was disappointing given the rave reviews. However, the baklava was amazing; light and not overly sweet. I might give it another try, especially since others had a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Hayat was average. The food was decent, though I felt some dishes missed the mark. I had high expectations due to previous reviews, but I found the service to be a bit lacking during busy hours. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, but I’d be hesitant to recommend it without knowing there’d be better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely glorious dining experience! The food at Hayat meets and exceeds any expectations. We ordered the mixed grill platter that was simply divine, and the service was exceptionally attentive without being overbearing. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion size of the dishes. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wishing to experience authentic Middle Eastern cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the whole family in tow when we decided to check out Hayat. The atmosphere was energetic and very welcoming. Everyone ordered different dishes, and while my kebab was delightful, my wife's shawarma was a tad dry. The staff was very friendly and quick to bring us everything we needed. We'll probably return for the entertainment and lively environment. " (*Curated Review*)
