    I'm a foodie, so I was excited to visit this new place in Derby. Being able to go to a nice restaurant in this small town is something to delight in. The hummus was really good. Chicken was tasty. My niece had the eggplant lasagna and it was extremely dry. To top it off we had the chocolate cream brulee which was delectable. The prices were a little on the pricey side for Derby but on par with a nice restaurant. Would I go again, possibly depending on the entertainment.

    Pleasantly surprised at the ambiance-It was warm and comforting as soon as you entered in the restaurant. Thank goodness Derby has a nicer place to eat without going into Wichita. Soup, hummus, beef shank was excellent. The squash lasagna was a bit dry for my liking, but would try it again as for October it was something new and Autumn like. We will definitely go back to experience the patio. Better make reservations, they were busy from 5p-9pm.

    Outstanding service, granted we were the only 2 people there on a Saturday during lunch. We loved the decor and the menu options. We both got a wrap with sides. Our pita fell apart and was a mess to eat but the flavor of my chicken shawarma was really good. The vegetable wrap was lacking in the sauce and spice department, too bland. The highlight was definitely the lentil bisque.

    Came here to check out this new restaurant for the first time and to celebrate our Anniversary. It was the perfect outing. We made reservations on a weekday summer sunset evening and when we got there we were seated right away, not busy at all. There are lots of windows which makes the place bright and perfect during sunset hours. The atmosphere was quiet, bright and elegant. Our server was so sweet and friendly. The food came out quick and had a nice presentation. We had the bruschetta as an appetizer. It was yummy and perfect to share with 2-3 people, served with 3 pieces. I had the Butternut Squash Lasagna for my dinner. I wished it was a bit more moist and creamy but other than that I thought it was good. I had it with a nice white wine which paired well. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal the Short Rib and a soda. Overall it was a wonderful time out and I would highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner or at least to try out a nice fancy restaurant in Derby.

    So we checked out Layali on a Friday evening -- the newest Mediterranean restaurant in Derby -- and we were thoroughly impressed. From customer service, ambience, food quality, cleanliness, and overall experience -- everything was stellar. The hostess Hayden and the manager Brent were attentive and an added layer to the top notch service. We had the salmon salad and our plates were polished all the way as the photo shows!

    The service was good and ambiance is nice. The menu is very small and the dishes we have tried have been okay.

    We were staying nearby at a hotel and chose Meddy's because it had such great online reviews. Our…read moreentire family enjoys eating Mediterranean food so we were excited to try out a new to us restaurant. Admittedly, I didn't read enough reviews to know you order at the counter and then sit down and they bring your food. It took us a few moments to determine what we'd order. The kids got Kids Bowls, both with lamb. One had rice and the other had the fries. My husband ordered the Big Bowl with lamb. I ordered the salmon. It was a warm evening, but windy. Our kids wanted to sit outside on the patio. The patio has quite a bit of seating. Only low tables were available which would normally be fine. But they seemed to get all the wind. We toughed it out but it did get a little chilly. The food was fresh and delicious. I was impressed with the amount of food for the money. It was healthy food too. The veggies were grilled perfectly. My salmon was moist and had great flavor. I was also impressed with the combination of the tomatoes and onions. The kids and my husband enjoyed their dishes too. The pita bread was soft and had good flavor. We debated coming back for the next meal too. Wish we had one where we live.

    First of all, the gyros that we had were EXCELLENT! Fresh, tasty lamb, loads of veggies all…read morecooked perfectly. SHAWARMBAA was a delicious, Juicy lamb stuffed pita with lettuce, onion, peppers, and tomatoes dressed with tzatziki. The service was "fast food" style, order at the counter and when ready our meal was brought to our table ... 1/2 star off for that. The whole place was clean and calm, except they were trying to be a sports bar with lots of TVs on games, the other 1/2 star off for that. PS the staff were very pleasant and friendly.
