    Moroccan Mint Tea
    Tahini R.

    An amazing no frills hookah spot in Astoria! We stumbled upon this place after not having a great experience in another new spot in the area. So glad we found this spot because this was one of the best hookah spots my friends and I tried after so long! The ambience was super chill and the staff and owners were all friendly and welcoming. We ordered a Sex on the Beach flavored hookah and large Moroccan mint tea. The tea was delicious and also came in a beautiful tea set. The prices were also very reasonable along with great service. It was a great end to our night out in Astoria. My friends and I will definitely be coming back here for more tea and hookah!

    Best Mac and cheese in existence and lemon orzo soup wow

    Ok. This is the hidden gem no one should know about but everyone should know about. I'm the kind of gal that used to study in college at hookah bars. I've had hookah all over and this is truly such a good deal. $21 for a sex on the beach + $5 ice hose. Packed perfectly. If I didn't already have dinner I would have eaten here. The Frappuccino's looked fantastic but we snacked on Mac and cheese and lemon orzo soup and Moroccan tea. If you want chill backyard vibes with unparalleled authenticity while being able to have a lovely evening discussion... come. Quickly.

    Shrimp tacos and truffle fries

    I absolutely love Layaly Cafe!!! My sister and I have been here several times already. The food is good. I almost always go for the shrimp tacos and truffle fries. The smoothies are delicious. The highlight is definitely the hookah! They offer different flavors which you can mix, and their hookahs LAST!!!! That's a plus for me. The staff is very friendly and attentive as well. Take a seat in the outdoor seating area in their backyard this summer and enjoy yourself. You will not be disappointed.

    The service here is phenomenal... Was greeted at the door with mask and hand sanitizer. We got to choose our seats either inside outside or the back. I was even able to select the music is like to listen to. I first ordered mango ginger smoothie which was soooo tasty I'd definitely come back for this alone. Lol then I had guacamole and chips which tasted so good. The service was fast and yet so tasty. I can in to work remotely and get some good food and I got great vibes. Will definitely come back.

    A fun hookah lounge with very tasty food. This place has so many different hookah flavors! We got the mint which was really good, as we didn't want something too sweet. Will definitely be back!

    Pot of black tea with mint and a delicious tiramisu

    Came here on a late Saturday afternoon as a group of 10. It was pretty quiet inside and we were kindly seated right away. Our waitress initially came over to take our drink orders and if anyone was going to order hookahs. We ordered 4 lemon/mint fumari hookahs for the table, 2 frappachinos blended coffee drinks as well as a few pots of black tea with mint. The hookahs came out first. We were given plastic hoses with I prefer in terms of cleanliness. The hookah was nice and strong and had a great lemon taste. The frappachinos looked delicious as they were topped with fresh whipped cream. Service was great, one of my favorite things about this place was there was no rush. Our waitress was super accommodating to us, and let us enjoy a few hours and even refilled our tea pots 2 times! Will come back again for a hookah session or even to try their lunch menu! Price overall is very decent for good hookah and service! FYI: Street parking only which can be difficult during peak hours

    The vibe of the place is great. The staff very friendly and courteous. It is very popular. The Hooka is delicious. The konafa is a must try they make it from scratch.

    Very nice and relaxing hookah place with a very friendly staff too. This is a newer place and is very clean and modern. I came here with some friends and we tried the Blue Mist and Pirates Cove flavors. The Blue Mist had a fruit punch taste to it, while the Pirates Cove had a more smokey, cinnamon taste to it. It is only $8 to $10 for a hookah - much cheaper than in Manhattan. And the hookah here lasts for a very long time. The food here was also very good. I had a mixed platter with lamb chops, sausage, and chicken kebab. All three of these were fresh, moist and tasty. The best of the three were the lamb chops, which were very juicy and had a nice charred grill flavor to them. I recommend getting your entrees with their delicious rice too, which appeared to have been sauteed in butter.

    This laid back hookah spot serves tasty food with a side of friendly atmosphere.

    This unseeming place is located on Broadway, far enough away from the crazy hookah lounges located on Steinway. Although they sell hookah and it is the focus of their restaurant they have an extensive menu that is delicious. They have a mix of Arabic American food. I had their appetizer: mozzarella sticks. They were not only cheesy but crunchy... not oily. My friend and I also ordered their falafel which came with hummus and baba ganoush. Although the falafel is a pre-made mix it is well flavored and crunchy. The side salads are perfect consistency. We even dared to try the hookah. My mouth enjoyed the flavor but my lungs needed a break. I will definitely keep returning to this spot.

    Lamb chops with veggies

    I went to Layaly Cafe with 3 friends visiting from out of town. We were looking for a hookah place and decided to try Layaly since I live close by. Food was amazing! Their lamb chops were one of the best I have tried in NY. Hookahs were nice as well. The manager or owner was super attentive as well. Will definitely visit again.

Sat at a table that was partial inside and outside with the views of the street... cool. The blackboard outside promoted a happy hour until 8pm on drinks so I got the mango mojito which was weak btw and not on happy hour price according to one of the bartenders that sign was meant for Monday- Friday which was very misleading. Ordered me some food which was good and decent priced. The music they played was good as well. BTW they already charge a 18% gratuity on your check which sucks. Also the bartender gave back the wrong change which I'm not sure why simple math is hard.

We sat in an area with bottle service and we were told that we couldn't sit there. They put us in an anther area. Then Moved us. We were then told that area was bottle service as well. We just came from bottle service so we e didn't care to drink. They then told us the place they wanted to sit us was was "reserved" which didn't make any sense. Bc they didn't have reservations. We were literally going back and forth. So embarrassing for women in general. It's so sad when people hold other people to such high caliber for no reason... that's how these people are. I may not be a familiar face, but also treat newbies well so they can return and bring others for business. The one worker we thought was helping us ended up having no patience and literally walked away from me when I was trying to ask him a simple question. It's very sad...
