    Fluffy pita and freshly made hummus

    Layla's Falafel of Fairfield ( Westport and Stratford also have locations) is my new favorite spot. The place is small with a few tables and a counter-like seating area by the window. Service is genuinely friendly and so welcoming. The display case showcases many fresh salads and other mouth watering goodies, lots of veggies options. The fluffy pitas are absolutely delicious and you can buy them in packs of 3 to take home along with fresh made hummus if you do choose. For my first visit I got the lamb shawarma on a fluffy pita and loved every bite. I also brought home the daily made hummus and fluffy pitas--- such a wonderful snack. Addicting. My second visit was to pick up more fluffy pitas and try a meat kibbie! I wished I had gotten more as the crunchy outer exterior was perfect for the moist meat filling. Layla herself suggested I try a new dessert just out of the oven! Of course! It was insanely good with a flaky phyllo dough exterior with a cheesecake like filling! OMG! I will definitely be back for this dessert and pita replenishment. I also cannot wait to try every other item on the menu. Parking is limited but do not let that deter you as this is a must try.

    Everything I've had in 3 visits has been phenomenal! Great bang for your buck and service, as well!

    A pit stop for lunch on a roadtrip with the girls from NYC to Cape Cod. Small place in a little shop area with a small parking lot. Some of the best Mediterranean, authentic and full of flavor. Good amount of food for price. The best hummus and Nann bread I've ever had. Service was good we ordered and got out food pretty fast.

    Falafel, hummus, garlic dip, pita bread, mujadara, stuffed grape leaves and "Mom's Spinach Pie."

    This place opened in 2005 and my family and I eventually gave it a try in 2008. We have been hooked ever since. We had never tried middle eastern food before, but decided to give it a shot because some of the food on their menu was similar to Greek food (we're Greek). We decided to get a big spread this time. I personally have tried falafel from many places and this establishment's namesake is the best I've ever had. Few even come close. It has the perfect blend of spices and they're fried up nice and crispy without being overly oily. The mujadara has a nice earthy flavor to it and is very satisfying to me. The hummus, stuffed grape leaves and spinach pie are also delicious. But one of the things that this place is known for is its garlic dip. We put it on everything, including non middle eastern food. It's garlicky, bold, savory and addicting and pairs well with pretty much everything else we purchased. I'm done gushing. Just eat here.

Good service - though I do find it a little weird that you have to put in the whole order at once. The food is the standout. Always get the dips - the spicy feta in particular is stellar, as are the hummus and other dips. The pita is excellent as well - always feels like I need to order another. We got the steak bao buns, and they were great. Juicy and flavorful, I just wanted more. And I got the brisket special, which was also fantastic - very good flavor, and the veggies it came with were great too. Skipped dessert unfortunately since we were stuffed, but had a great time, as usual.

First, the hostess was extremely rude and made me feel uncomfortable from the moment we walked in, as if I didn't belong in the restaurant. Secondly, the menu is missing clear explanations of some of the dishes and their ingredients. For example, the chicken shawarma hummus bowl included pickled onions and also had onions or shallots mixed into the shawarma. These details should be clearly stated on the menu, and this was definitely a downfall on Esh's part. The food itself was fantastic; however, due to how uncomfortable the hostess made me feel, I would not return. My money can go elsewhere.

As seating's are not that abundant, I usually do pick up orders there. Do try them if you are in the area.

The biggest issue is online ordering and fulfillment. I almost always order online for convenience, but on most occasions my order is not prepared until I physically arrive and ask for an update. At that point, the convenience of ordering online completely disappears. You are honestly better off ordering in person. My most recent experience, which was today, really highlighted the problem. I placed my online order around 11:50 AM and did not receive my food until 12:50 PM. Another ongoing issue is the inconsistency with double protein orders. I have ordered often enough to notice that this is a recurring problem and something that clearly needs attention. I am sharing this mainly to bring awareness to others. If you are ordering online for pickup, be prepared for a gamble. If possible, just order when you arrive. For delivery orders, the drivers are not at fault. They are dealing with the same issue, where orders do not seem to be addressed until someone asks for an update.

Everything tasted super fresh and balanced; the chicken was juicy, and the mix of yogurt and garlic whip was great. The veggies were crisp, and the sumac onions added a nice tang. A couple of things didn't hit for me though, the "spicy" sauce barely had any heat, and the pita came cold and untoasted, which was a bummer. A warm, toasted pita would've made a big difference. Overall, the bowl was tasty and fresh, and I'd come back, but I hope they step up the spice and fix the pita next time.
