    We wanted to try something new and this restaurant popped up in the area with great reviews. It's the cutest cafe in canyon rim in a shopping center with quite a few other restaurants. The restaurant is tiny with seating inside and outside but it's incredibly cozy. The owners are just the sweetest offering us a taste of their coffee as a Lebanese tradition. I ordered the beef kafta and my hubby ordered the chicken shawarma. The food is prepared to order. When I tell you it's fresh this is the freshest food I've ever tasted. Even the side salad was not premade, they chopped all the ingredients after we ordered. Even the meat was cooked fresh. As a result the meats were so juicy and flavorful. The staff was just so friendly, kind and personable. It's rare to find such a cute restaurant with reasonable prices and staff that make you feel like family. Despite the war raging in their home country their positive outlook and demeanor was something to be admired. Will absolutely be back.

    The food was so delicious! Everything we ate I would get again and again. The owner was kind and welcoming. I'm so glad we found it! We will be back!

    I loved this cute and cozy place! The owners were genuinely so nice and I enjoyed everything I tried. I had a matcha drink, a shimmery strawberry mocktail, avocado toast, non traditional bruschetta, limoncello cake, mini pancakes with Nutella and a Philly sandwich with home made fries. The fries and avocado toast were my favs. The mocktail was the prettiest drink I've ever had. It had this shimmery glittery mix in it that was both pretty and fun. I'll definitely be back to try more yummy menu items!

    You MUST try the falafel. Hands down the BEST in town! And the owner couldn't have been more hospitable. Will definitely go back soon!

Every item on the menu is carefully made with love and absolutely delicious. The coffees and teas on the menu complement the food items perfectly and make the experience even more special. The seating area is on the smaller side, but rather than feeling cramped or overcrowded, it felt intimate. I cannot wait to return to Layla's!

    My wife and I stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday. They had New England Clam Chowder as a…read morespecial and we ordered a bowl to share. I ordered the Beef Shawarma and my wife got the Musakhen with fries. The Clam Chowder was good. I've certainly had better, like at Market Street in town or at the Brigantine in the San Diego area. The server was kind of stumbling over his words when he described it and until it arrived I wasn't sure if it was going to be New England clam chowder or Manhattan. He proclaimed that it was the best clam chowder you'll ever get at a Middle Eastern restaurant and I can't really argue about that. The Beef Shawarma is served in a wrap that is open at both ends and cut in half. They put a small portion of pickled items on the plate and dust everything with sumac powder. The beef is thinly sliced. I really didn't enjoy the flavor. The greens in the wrap were extremely bitter and in my opinion it made for an unpleasant flavor. Maybe I just got extra bitter greens on mine but it was overwhelming everything else. I didn't like that the wrap was open, I had to lean over my plate as I ate because the sauce was dripping out and I didn't want to get it on my clothes. Eventually I gave up and used my fork to pull the meat out of the other half so that I could avoid the bitterness. The Musakhen (that's how it is spelled on the menu) was also a wrap. I tried a bite and I liked that better than the beef Shawarma but I still didn't really like something about the flavor. The fries were nicely crispy and fresh but there is a seasoning on them that really wanted to be on my fingers more than it wanted to be on the fries or my napkin. Like no matter how hard I tried to wipe it off there was still some of it on my fingers. Once again there was something about the flavor I didn't really like. My wife eventually offered up some of the aioli and it made it a little better but once again I didn't really like the flavor of the aioli. So for whatever reason the flavors there just aren't for me. My wife on the other hand was very excited about everything and was talking about all the things she was going to try the next time we visited. I didn't want to be a negative bummer during the meal but I was thinking she was going to have to come back with someone other than me. The restaurant is nice and they have very good service. There were a few other tables of large groups and it seems like this is a place that works well for get togethers. Parking is not adequate at all. We got a spot but only because we got there at 4:50 for dinner. I overheard other people talking about the trouble they had finding a spot.
