I'm just so grateful this place had ordering until 2:30am via delivery apps (I forget which one exactly). While everything else was closed, this one came through, and it wasn't just late night trash food. As always with 3rd party apps, the food was overly expensive, but it was quite tasty.GLOWS:- chicken Kabob platter came with hummus and pita bread-The grape leaves were meatless (they had a deal of buy one get one free at the time)GROWS:-The pita bread was just okay. It could have had a little more flavor to it with herbs.

Took a whole 12 minutes to be overlooked and finally served. We do have a darker hue and maybe that was the reason or maybe not. Overall though not impressed and definitely won't be back. Service is absurdly terrible. Visiting from out of town.

Not a bad place for hookah, haven't had the food in quite sometime so not going to give rating. Though what is this $5 corking fee for a hookah. They asked me if I wanted ice for hookah, never had it before and tried, but seen no difference so just another way to add $3.50 for nothing.

This place has severely declined in quality, service, and integrity over the years. Watch out for hidden automatic gratuity and miscellaneous charges on your tabs. You'll only find out when you see your itemized receipt which they don't provide until AFTER payment. The last two times we've come they added on charges for food and condiments that we never asked for or received. Automatic 18% gratuity added for only two people and not informed by the server or given a receipt, just to be prompted for another tip at checkout. Hookah packing is subpar and coals are served that are not lit. They get a star for the food.

Cool Spot. Get work done, pretty quiet and perfect ambiance for people trying to work or relax and lightly socialize. Food is Mediterranean.

This place is comfortable and casual. The restrooms could definitely use some cleaning and the inside of the restaurant looks a bit outdated. The hookah and food was alright, nothing special. The service was good and the staff was friendly.

My buddy and fellow Yelper Victor H. introduced me to this spot recently and I really enjoyed it. It was our birthday week and we wanted a chill hangout before our birthday celebration the next day. Cafe Layal has been here for awhile, located in Midtown. Parking sucks in this area. If you are lucky, you might be able to snag a spot on the street or in one of the lots, otherwise you can use a nearby garage or a pay to park lot. Customer service is great here. We did hookah and they kept up with it frequently and there was always someone hovering around to make sure everyone was ok.I am in no means a hookah expert, but have dabbled in it from time to time, mostly at friend's houses. Here though, you just show up, pick your flavor and enjoy. They have quite a few flavors to choose from. We went with a watermelon mint that was very smooth and enjoyable. Each person gets their own mouth piece so no cooties are shared (unless you're into that). The staff is also very good about changing the coals often so you can hookah without it burning out. It is also BYOB here. Bring whatever you want as they don't serve alcohol here. They will set you up with whatever you need. As far as food goes, I went with the Beef Shawarma. This dish was delicious. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. The tahini and all the other accompaniments rounded it out nicely as well. I did find it hard to eat as they cut it into multiple sections then top it with a sauce. Two sections and sauce on the side would've made it alot easier to handle. The fries it came with were cooked to perfection and tasty as well.If you are looking for a chill spot to hang with friends, read a book or get some work done, this is a really cool spot. I will definitely come back!

You get the feeling a lot of the staff would rather be at home than working. In over half a dozen stops not once has my order been ready.. expect to wait another 20 minutes after you arrive even when the restaurant is slow.

gaslit & trickedfirst off, the online entrance picture totally threw me off--it's not even the right place! Then, they wanted to charge $40 for valet when there's an $8 garage nearby? No way. we get there and it's loud with a not so classy crowd. a table with drunks who brought their own beer and another table w a dog who almost ran up on me. food was okay. overall 1/10.
