I was so incredibly blown away by this restaurant. It was recommended to me on TikTok and I had just moved to Georgia & was really looking forward to trying it out. I decided that night to treat my friends out for Iftar and I could not have picked a better place to break my fast in. My waitress was the absolute best, the food was sensational, nothing and I mean nothing, was short of excellent. Even the decoration, the ambiance and how the design layout of the restaurant reminded me of when I was traveling to the Levant during the hot summers as a child. It made me so incredibly emotional and it felt like home. Thank you so much for the entire team at Layaly for making me feel less homesick and allowing my friends to experience my culture through your delicious meals and hospitality.

Dinner was outstanding. Food was so good. Salad, grape leaves, lamb kabobs and baklava everything was delicious!!! Please please clean up the back outside of your restaurant. Your guest park back there and it looks so bad, not a great first impression.

i'm a sucker for mediterranean food so if there's a new one in town, you better believe i'm gonna try it! because i love the cuisine, im pretty biased and don't think ive had many bad experiences, since most of the food is fresh. The options were staples and they did them well. As a party of four we shared a kebab and kafta with a fattoush salad and batatas on the side. Enough to satisfy all four of us! There's always a risk with getting chicken and it being dry, but i'm glad to report it was not! We also got the dubai chocolate cheesecake which was a great way to end. The service was prompt and i never felt rushed to order or leave.

This place was so adorable and quaint. I came here for dinner and was seated pretty immediately, we started with the stuffed grape leaves which tasted really authentic and the hummus was so smooth and delish. We ordered Espresso Martinis as well, so tasty and the Arabic coffee was amazing to have in it also. The service was quick and calm. We added resposado Don Julio instead of vodka and it was delish. For our meal she had Lamb Kabobs w Rice and I had the Beef Kabobs. Pretty good. I will definitely be back soon!

We started with appetizers by ordering hummus, a harmonious blend of chickpeas purée, tahini, and olive oil. Moving onto the main course, the Beef Kabab, featuring tender sirloin morsels marinated in aromatic spices, and the Chicken Kafta, infused with succulent ground chicken and fragrant herbs, both served with basmati rice, left our taste buds dancing with delight. Originally I wanted the chicken kabab but they ran out of it. For drinks, we ordered Turkish Mule (vodka, pomegranate, lime, ginger beer) and Desert Dusk (espresso martini with Arabic coffee). Saving the best for last, the Knafeh dessert, featuring a delightful blend of sweet cheese, wheat, pistachio, and rose blossom syrup, was an absolute highlight, perfect way to end our meal. AMAZINGGG FOOD!! Noteworthy was the impeccable service provided by the dedicated staff, despite the restaurant's small size and limited personnel. Our server, attending to multiple tables, ensured our comfort throughout the evening. Despite a slight wait for our food, the owner's gesture of a complimentary dessert exemplified their commitment to customer satisfaction, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Layaly's exceptional cuisine, coupled with exceptional service, earns it a perfect rating of 10/10, guaranteeing a return visit for another unforgettable dining experience.

Came here earlyish on a Saturday evening and we got seated quickly, although it was fairly quiet when we sat down. Inside it definitely has a Mediterranean feel, with some nice art on the walls and decor. All the food I tried was delicious, from the cauliflower to fish to seasoned fries. That said, I thought the portions could have been a little more generous. At first there was only 1 server which, even though it was not super busy, did mean service was a bit slow. Will be back and excited to try some other dishes.
