The menu is a delightful array of traditional dishes, each prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, perfectly complemented by freshly baked pita bread. The lamb kebabs were tender and juicy, seasoned to perfection with a blend of aromatic spices. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as it should be.

Highly recommend From the moment I walked into Laila Arabic Restaurant, I knew I was in for a special experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with intricate dรฉcor and a comfortable seating arrangement that sets the perfect mood for a memorable dining experience. The culinary journey began with a selection of appetizers that were simply outstanding. The baba ghanoush was smoky and velvety, while the stuffed grape leaves were bursting with flavor. Each dish is a testament to the chef's dedication to authenticity and quality. The main courses are equally impressive. The mixed grill platter was a highlight, featuring an assortment of perfectly grilled meats that were juicy and flavorful. The chicken shawarma was tender and succulent, with a delightful blend of spices that left a lasting impression. Vegetarians will love the moussaka, which is rich and hearty without being heavy. The service at Laila's is top-notch. The staff are incredibly attentive and go out of their way to ensure that every guest feels welcome and well-cared for. They are knowledgeable about the menu and eager to share their recommendations, enhancing the overall dining experience. And letโs not forget the dessertsโtruly the icing on the cake.

10 months agoIโve eaten here many times and every time the food is delicious. I love their spicy potatoes and kebabs. My husband and I loved this place so much we booked the restaurant for a family gathering. Their decor is also beautiful. I highly recommend.

7 months agoGreat dinner! My friends and I enjoyed 5-6 different appetizers, both hot and cold. There are a ton of menu options to choose from. We enjoyed the parsley salad, Lailaโs combo which included four different dips (baba ganoush, hummus, muhamara and a yogurt based dip), octopus entree, cauliflower with tahini sauce, and the mini hot pies. All very delicious!! They also had a belly dancer perform through the dinning room. Fun atmosphere. Staff very kind and friendly.

2 years agoFood was great! Place was clean, and service is quick. Portions here are humungous! An entree here is enough to fill you up. The place is wheelchair friendly and there is an outdoor dining section if you want as well. Parking can be somewhat tricky but there is ample parking spaces out front. Update- went with a few friends recently and just wanted to update the review. We went in the late afternoon on a weekend and most of the lunch rush was gone but we were still inexplicably rushed. Not sure why, we had already ordered our food and were just talking but were still rushed.
