5- star falafel shop We had a falafel sandwich in a pita and the Fattoush salad. Both excellent. The fries were next-level too (great seasoning / no need for ketchup ) . Everything was fresh, made at the time of ordering- so fries were hot and crispy, falafel was the same as well. Great consistency and flavor on the falafel. It's a small shop with a few tables. It's very clean and inviting. It was quiet when I stopped by but numerous to-go and catering orders were being picked up. Service was kind and reasonable especially considering everything was made fresh. I will be back for sure. read more

The food here is flavorful, fresh, and made with care. Service was great. Falafel has the perfect texture. Hummus is light and simple but really nice. Fries are good, the beef shawarma was great and even better with the garlicky toum sauce. Place was clean. Skip the packaged baklava. Wonderful, we will be back. read more

I stumped upon Laylas on social media and I'm so glad I did. My wife and I took a chance and visited the Westport location. 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 read more

I love Layla's and so hapy that this family owned business has now opened several locations in Fairfield Ct. This place is one of the smaller ones, but offers the same menu as their main location in Stamford where I first discovered them Their Babagounoush and Hummus is one of the best I have tried and introduced several folks to them My main go to dish is the lamb Shawarma which is very juicy, though the kibbe is not too far behind. As seating's are not that abundant, I usually do pick up orders there. Do try them if you are in the area. read more

Everything on the menu is delicious. I usually get a pound of shawarma and hummus. The plates and sandwiches are delicious too. The staff is friendly and the place is always busy. read more

Multiple times in a row it took forever to get my food. They prioritize delivery service pickup here. I'm usually one of two people here but lately I'm waiting ten to twenty minutes for my food. This is not fast casual here. read more

Did delivery service/take out. Was quicker than expected from stamford. It's our first time so we sampled several different dishes was impressed with how fresh everything was. The lentil soup in particular was incredible, both types of spinach pie delicious- glad I ordered both, I loved the shawarma chicken flavor! Garlic sauce amazing, pita extra extra yummy & I dont even care for pita. Basically not 1 bad dish - We will return!!! Excellent and affordable. read more

Chicken salad was old stale and sickening . Falafel just as bad . Over fried - hard as a brick .

This is some of the best takeout Arabic food I've ever had.... amazing quality for the price extremely fresh. The hummus babghanoush and tabouli are the best I've ever had even compared to homemade....ill be back! read more

Love going to Layla's! The hummus and pita chips are what keeps us coming back but we also have enjoyed the opportunity to explore the rest of the menu. But definitely don't go there without getting the pita chips and hummus! The lentil soup was good and really was brought to the next level with the pita to dip. Pita was actually fluffy! The deluxe falafel wrap was also good. The garlic sauce is really amazing with it so if you're a big fan of that get one of their to-go tub to enjoy more on it mixed with the hot sauce. Really deluxe! The employees were helpful and nice. The food was prepared quick for a it being the dinner rush. The dinner room is really small so it can get crowded with pickup drivers coming in and ordering at the counter. There's more parking in the back of the building too! read more

the laylas Shawarma is a 1 at best, second time. it's tough , hard to chew and has connective uneditable tissue. Westport location, guys fix your cooking cuz yikes read more

Very warm and welcoming place. The staff seemed genuinely happy to see you even on a routine takeout order. The lentil soup was great, I would definitely order it again. The falafel salad was to die for. Very filling, which is hard for a salad of any kind. The hummus which I hear is homemade was delicious as well. This was a great detour off of I 95, I'll be back the next time I'm driving home from somewhere up north. read more

The best of the best!! Layla food is always so fresh and delicious- pro tip get the pita chips and fries because they are chefs kiss. The entire staff is also super friendly making it such an enjoyable experience. If you haven't checked out Layla's this is your sign to go- you won't regret it !! read more

It is 25 years for Layla. We have been regular customer of Fairfield and Stamford. Food is always fresh and delicious. Will be eating for next 25 years. read more

Omg, so good! I had an appointment nearby and was starving. I saw the great reviews and had to try out Connecticut falafel for myself I had the falafel with eggplant and they also gave me some fries on the side. The eggplant hit the spot! It was very good. I would definitely come by again if in the area! read more

Terrible experience. Ordered on Uber eats, made a couple very simple requests to accommodate our dietary restrictions and they ignored them all. Asked for no rice or pita and extra salad cause we're doing keto. Apparently that was to complicated. Everything was ice cold even though the delivery was super quick. The lamb shawarma tasted like prison meat. Inedible. So disappointed. read more

Layla's Falafel - Lamb Shwarma, wouldn't feed this to my dog - Falafel Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Shout out to Layla's for amazing service (and delicious food, as usual). We ordered takeout online for a group of about 10 people, and when I went to pick it up, they couldn't find the order. It turned out that the person who placed our order had accidentally placed it for the Layla's in Stamford, 25 minutes away, rather than this Layla's in Westport. Even though it was a busy time, the staff contacted their store in Stamford, confirmed what had happened, and remade the whole order for us while I waited, and didn't charge anything for all of this! What wonderful customer care! Thanks, Layla's! read more

Wow I can't say enough good things about Layla's. The delicious food, the location, THE PEOPLE. I ordered the chicken Kabab bowl with rice and lentils as a base. I also got the baba ghanoush and garlic dip as a side, both I could droooooool over. 1000/10. They also let me try a falafel ball in line. It was incredible. The people working there are so so SO friendly and down to earth. This place deserves all the love in the world! read more

Layla's serves up some great, authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. We've never eaten in the restaurant, only take-away and every time, we love their food. Not just falafel, but various lamb and chicken dishes along with hummus, taboleh, shawarma, etc. If you enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine, you I'll love Layla's. read more

I had the worst experience with food and miserable cashier, it was very unprofessional she was talking arabic with workers and she thought I don't understand what she was saying. When I asked for beef on spit, it wasn't there came from freezer and very little chopped up pieces I asked worker I been eating this food since I was a kid, she was older cashier with mean and attitude look. Very disappointing and will never go back. Shame on the staff April, 18, 2025 around 1:00 pm and when you walk in smelled like bathroom not cleaned for days. I hope owner watches the camera and she can get rid of useless workers. read more

Our absolute favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the area. Great place for simple, classic food with a burst of flavor. The meat is so tender and juicy, a variety of toppings to choose from - this place never disappoints. Its more of a grab and go place - they do have a couple of tables but its a small place so it could feel a little crowded to dine in. read more

Never disappoints. Loved the melding of the flavors and textures: fried eggplant, falafel and creamy sauces in warm pita. Heaven! Tabbouleh on the side was very fresh and a perfect counterpoint to the richness of the sandwich. My husband enjoyed his Arabian lamb shawarma sandwich served with small salad and hummus on the side. Ordered online and picked up at restaurant. Service was rapid and courteous. HIghly recommend these dishes and everything else they serve. read more

Layla's catered a school lunch for our teachers today and it was amazing, as expected! They are reliable and consistent, delivering delicious quality food each and every time. And the garlic dip!!! Our teachers remark that they could swim in it! Thanks always to Dino and team for being our go-to for catering. read more

Simpy put, Layla's Falafel is great. I've been going to their various locations (there are currently three - Stamford, Westport, and Fairfield) for years and it has from really good to fantastic. The staff are extremely friendly and always willing to help out, regardless of how busy the place. This review is for the Westport location and it is mainly a take-out place, although there are a few small tables if you care to eat in, but they only seat two each. The falafel is the best I've had and the chicken shawarma is excellent. I usually don't care for hummus, but I make an exception for Layla's, which coupled with the falafel, is second to none. I would highly recommend this place for delicious and authentic Middle Eastern food! read more

Really tasty and fresh food! The falafel platter is my go to. Great for a quick and easy lunch! Fluffy pita is so good and love their hummus. read more

Layla's Falafel - Falafel Platter - Falafel Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Came here with a group of friends for lunch today! My friends come here often & have RAVED about it for a while! I've been SOOO eager to try it! I walked in & ordered with the friendly staff at the counter & ALMOST IMMEDIATELY the food came out! WOW! I couldn't believe how quick it was. I ordered the falafel platter, one of the employees recommended it! I was NOT disappointed. Everything on my plate was SO FRESH & delicious. At times, falafel makes my stomach hurt but these did not. Which means they were probably fried in a high quality oil! The hummus was delicious & the the salad underneath was fresh! We also shared large fries! WOW! They were crispy & YUUUUMMMMYYYY!!! They had a garlic powder on top, different but I LOVED it! My friends got stuffed grape leaves & those were so GREAT! You can taste the tomato & rice on the inside- so full of flavor! I will be back again & hopefully to their other locations! New favorite falafel spot!! read more

I can't even find the right words but this place is just amazing. We celebrated thanksgiving a day early and tried driving back thanksgiving day. I knew most places would be closed but saw Layla's and was hoping it was open. Sadly it was closed however the owner saw us peek inside and gathered what he could to feed my husband and I and our three boys. We are from Virginia and have a long drive ahead of us. For him to still find what he could to feed us is the sweetest thing that's happened to us in a long time. I mean seriously y'all these people are kind and serve amazing food. 10 stars if I could. I love y'all so thankful for these kind people and their amazing food! read more
