Wow! I was so excited to try a new (to me) Middle Eastern restaurant! I met up with friends…read morerecently on a Wednesday night at Layalina Restaurant & Lounge. It was very quiet on a Wednesday night, so we had a lot of chances to get to know the restaurant owner. He was so friendly and welcoming! What a great guy! I recommended that he contact Yelp to set up a Yelp Elite event there sometime. They definitely have the space. When you walk in, there is an area for smoking hookahs. The hookahs did not have much of an odor (not like cigarette smoke), so it didn't impede on our dining experience. The atmosphere is basically a large banquet hall with a stage. The owner advised they do lots of events there, especially on the weekends. They also have a huge patio. The food! Wow! What huge, generous portions! We were all thrilled with our orders. The hummus is so creamy and delicious. They have a large menu, with photos to help you make your choices. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted amazing. I can't wait to go back and try some of their fish dishes. I was told they get fresh fish on a regular basis.

If you haven't gotten to Layalina yet you're missing out on some of the best food in Phoenix. Got…read morethe Platter of Love and a starter of hummus for my wife and I.. home for 5 mins and my kids are already devouring the copious amount of leftovers. We lived in a prominent middle eastern neighborhood in NYC before Phoenix and I can say with certainty that this is the best middle eastern food we've had here, bar none. Before you spend any money at whatever halfassed chain restaurant you usually visit, come here first and walk away with full bellys at very reasonable prices. You won't be disappointed.

My first experience at Casa De Falafel was phenomenal. As I approached the counter, I was told by…read morethe kind and gracious gentleman my falafel experience would change after trying the one they offer... For a split second, I thought, "That's a good way to intrigue someone to buy and try..." but NO, he turns around for a mere moment with a sample and my eyes lit up, I finished my order "beef Pita," (of which was extremely flavorful, tender, and fresh... the pita had great consistency and it all disappeared in seconds) but sorry, I digress, there I was, grabbing the strawberry lemonade and walking towards the table when yet again, the kind man asked, "how is the lemonade?" To which I respond, "great!" He then proceeded to pull me an additional cup, "please, try the others as well, they're homemade!" A mango pineapple and a passion fruit were awaiting my pallet, and soon enough... they too, were gone. The falafel was absolutely incredible, crispy outside, soft and flavorful and not dry, that's the big one for me... the falafel was perfect... there was only one thing wrong, so I asked... "can I order four more!? and some baklava too" (to take home of course...) I did sneak a bite of the baklava though, again, so tasty, perfect amount of sweetness, not overly sticky, and the right size to end the meal. Casa De Falafel is one that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND... I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu... they will definitely be the only place that I go for a falafel craving... THANK YOU!

Ordered pizza and 20 wings. No wings arrived after already tipping online 8 bucks and total bill near $50 to have to get in my car to go pick them up. Come back home to a luke warm pizza now too and 30 plus min old wings. Couple young gals gigly and talking about topics outside of work rather than focusing on the job of serving their employers customers. No apologies , no customer service skills . I dont expect a red carpet rolled out but man basic human courtesy in todays world is non existent. Next order was about 2 months ago. I ordered a large cheese pizza to go . Arrived within the 25 mins quoted that the pizza would be ready. Ordered at 1 hr till closing 8pm. Arrived and mentioned my order number. Register gal looked around no pizza. Went to the kitchen pick ticket printer. The kitchen staff never bothered to look and didn't make my order. So no apologies , nothing said front gal got them making the pizza . I just shook my head and sat down. Incompetence on top of being outright rude and not saying sorry there was confusion we'll get that right out to you. After 18 mins they managed to get it made and i regret tipping them at the register. Didn't look at the pizza. Got home and was disgusted to see there was a wet sloppy mess from the center radiating out about 3 inches. NO Crust . Was watery , cold wet lumps of cheese , sauce and likely dishwater from a wet pan, pizza peel or who knows. It almost like it was placed on a dishwater laden pan to be cut. For $22 for a stinking cheese pizza that is only 16" Its a rip off and I will never return to this location. Near $30 with a tip for nearly inedible pizza. Im temporarily disabled and have no income.. A good friend gave me some money to get something goid I enjoy. I used to love this place and the last 3 times this location has just gone downhill and completely untrustworthy now.

On top of that, the customer service was basically non-existent -- no friendliness, no engagement, nothing that made us feel valued as customers.

Do yourself a favor and spend your money and time elsewhere.
