We Absolutly loved this Israeli Restaurant with authentic food. Staff was terrific, friendly and…read moreattentive. The restaurant is adorable, with a nice outside terrace. The portions are quite generous. Now for the food. We started with Moroccan Cigars; Merguez wrapped in phyllo, very yummy. I had the Eggs Sophie; crispy potato latkes, smoked salmon, top with sunny side eggs and a small salad. The Avocado Toast with sunny side eggs, feta cheese on a multigrain toast was delicious. Shakshuka ( regular or spicy) careful with the spicy, eggs, peppers, feta, cilantro with stewed tomatoes was equally delicious. The Schnitzel and waffles delicious, copious serving. No room for desert. They have a full bar. There a children's menu. Definitely will go back.

STAY AWAY: An Insult to Israeli Cuisine and Common Sense…read moreRating: 0/5 Stars As an Executive Chef and an Israeli citizen, I am rarely speechless, but "Blondit" managed to achieve a level of stupidity beyond comprehension. Let's start with the name. In Hebrew, blondinit is often used as a derogatory shorthand for a shallow, vacuous, or "clueless" woman. It is incredibly fitting that the owners chose this name, as it perfectly reflects the restaurant's operational philosophy: total, unadulterated ignorance. The entire experience was an exercise in deception. This isn't just a bad kitchen; it's a "fake" restaurant. They have no understanding of the ingredients they are handling or the culture they claim to represent. The menu is a work of fiction. What you order is never what arrives because the kitchen staff clearly doesn't know what they are making or selling. The "Food": A Culinary Disaster * The "Cigars": The menu promised delicate Moroccan cigars in crisp phyllo dough. What arrived were heavy, leaden, grease-soaked eggrolls. * The Lamb Burger: This was a masterclass in how not to cook. The meat was over-processed to the point of having the texture of "guppy poop" and was salted so heavily it was borderline toxic. * The Halloumi Fiasco: They topped the burger with Halloumi--a squeaky, salty cheese that does not melt. Placing a cold, rubbery slab of salt on top of an already oversalted, mushy patty shows a fundamental lack of basic culinary knowledge. The Environment: A Health Hazard If the food wasn't insulting enough, the atmosphere was stomach-turning. While I was attempting to navigate the inedible mess on my plate, there were kids vomiting in the dining area. Multiple children were getting sick, and the staff acted as if it were a routine occurrence. No one cared, no one rushed to clean it properly, and no one seemed concerned about the obvious health risks. I should have taken the vomiting children as a warning sign. I left the restaurant feeling ill and ended up getting violently sick from the few bites I actually managed to swallow. This place is an embarrassment to Israeli hospitality. It is fake food run by people with zero understanding of cooking. Save your money, save your stomach, and stay far away from this disaster. I will never return.

The food was sooooooo good! The drinks were great too…read more We had a reservation, got there a little early and were seated right away. The restaurant is dimly lit and cozy. Service was good.

It felt like many of the diners were regulars, which is always a great sign. The service was excellent--super attentive and accommodating. As we were leaving, a large party arrived and the staff seamlessly pushed tables together to make it work, which really spoke to how flexible and thoughtful they are. For food, we ordered the salad, Bat clam chowder, chimichurri beef skewer, beef stroganoff, and salmon roulade. Portions were generous and everything was delicious. The beef skewer was good but not particularly memorable; however, I would absolutely order everything else again without hesitation. We finished with the berry crumble for dessert, which was the perfect way to end a lovely meal. Overall, a great dining experience with solid food and standout service--we'll definitely be back.

I was a bit bummed that my order got switched around and I ended up with fried eggplant instead of cauliflower, but it was still tasty, if a bit oily.

We ordered ahead and there was no wait to collect out food. Just be careful pulling out of that small parking lot because there's not much room for error when traffic is bad. I'll have to come back for the cauliflower next time!

We found parking right in front as we walked in we were immediately greeted. Since this was our first time, we'd asked for recommendations and Marcelo, the cashier gave us some suggestions. We ordered some chicken/lamb shawarma's and chickpeas falafel. Marcelo was super helpful as we didn't expect this but he was bringing customers meals to their table. He was attentive, friendly and even asked how was meal. We were super impressed with the food, the staff, ambiance, cleanliness and parking. Back to the food, OMG so delicious!!! Wrap sizes were a nice healthy portion and the falafels with hummus were amazingly tasty. We're 1000% coming back for more. Hey this might be one of our regular eateries here in CT. Oh by the way, they were nice to offer us a pita with hummus on the way; that also was total yum. Thanks for making such clean good food. We 1000% recommend Laylas. Will/Nikki Norwalk, CT

Large bar area, a larger dining room great for private events (which they do a lot of) per our attentive waiter and a smaller dining area near the front window. My friend and I had 3 of their specialty cocktails while there which we enjoyed very much. We had the octopus with fingerling potatoes which was delicious; the octopus was very tender. We also had the mussels in a white wine broth, it was great. It was a good sized portion for two, but we almost ordered another as it was so delicious. It came with bread to soak up the yummy sauce. My friend had a decaf cappucino and the goat cheese flan since she didn't want anything too sweet. It was also great, the tangy cheese wasn't noticeable in it and kept the flan from being too sweet (personal preference). They had other flans and Dulce de Leche as well.
