The food was very good, but expensive for the amount you get, they were stingy on a few items like the hummus and Labne appetizers. We never got the Kibbe balls which were $28 for a set of 4 which is a lot. the meat skewers and the octopus and fish were great. Service was good other then waiting for our first drinks for 20 mins because of only one bartender

A Must-Visit Gem – Every Time! I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Laya Restaurant multiple times, and each visit has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step in, the vibrant energy of the place draws you in, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The food is simply outstanding—every dish bursts with flavor, full of life and carefully crafted to delight the senses. Whether it’s a favorite go-to or something new, each bite is an experience in itself. The drinks are just as impressive—creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. But what truly sets Laya apart is the stellar service. The staff is warm, attentive, and always ensures that each visit feels special. Whether it’s a casual night out or a celebratory evening, Laya makes every moment feel extraordinary. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for fantastic food, amazing drinks, and an atmosphere that’s always buzzing with energy. Can’t wait for my next visit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
