Cafe Layal

Layal Mediterranean Cafe delivered an exceptional dining experience that left a lasting impression on our taste buds. Our culinary journey began with the Alfredo sauce vegetarian pizza, a delightful creation featuring a pizza base crafted from the same high-quality ingredients used in their pita bread. Topped with a medley of mushrooms, bell peppers, and fresh basil, each bite was a symphony of flavors that showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality and taste. The Alfredo pasta continued to elevate our dining experience. Bursting with the earthy goodness of mushrooms and the vibrant crunch of bell peppers, the pasta was generously coated in a luscious Alfredo sauce that struck a perfect balance between creamy and savory. The thoughtful combination of ingredients showcased the chef's expertise and dedication to creating memorable dishes. Even the cheeseburger, a classic choice, exceeded expectations. Paired with golden fries, it proved to be a comforting yet indulgent option. The juicy patty and gooey cheese melded harmoniously, while the fries provided a satisfying crunch. It was evident that even seemingly straightforward choices were crafted with care and attention to detail. The ambiance of the restaurant, combined with attentive service, added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Layal Mediterranean Restaurant is undoubtedly a gem for those seeking a fusion of Mediterranean and classic flavors. From the innovative pizza base to the delectable pasta and classic cheeseburger, every dish resonated with culinary excellence, making our visit a truly amazing night to remember.

I’ve been a loyal customer at Layal for years! And I can say I love this place! The environment reminds me of back home! And Yousuf was amazing, he was constantly coming in to ask us how we were doing and if everything was good! If you come in be sure to ask for Yousef if he’s available! Great place , tea and customer service!

I've been a number of times. Predominantly for the food! Jenya was our server, and she was tip notch! She kept checking in on us, gave good feedback on our selections, and encouraged us to try new things. Ask for her if you can. The whole rotisserie chicken is amazing! It's well flavored! Tasty! Juicy! Eat it! Also, the Greek salad with added kabob chicken is amazing. Hummus is amazing!! Fatoush is outstanding. Saffron is outstanding. The lamb chops are delicious! I licked my fingers! Oh my gosh, AND the garlic butter is wonderful! You get a great amount of food. Did I mention the soft, fresh pitas! The fresh fruit juices!!! The mixed berries drink was amazing!!! The lemonade is super tart! Beware but it's Tasty!! They are working on the decor, to make it more beautiful! They've a patio. Hookahs. Affordable prices! All great things!!! Annnnnnd, let's talk about the family atmosphere! You will see people lounging and talking. It's casual. You can get event space. Folks also play cards and dominoes and watch the sports on the TV. It's a good space. No alcohol served for religious purposes, but they do not push any of that on you. Now, do NOT order what is not Mediterranean. It's not good.

I recently visited Layal Cafe on Richmond, and I had an outstanding experience thanks to Joli, our waitress. Her service was truly exceptional and made our dining experience memorable. Joli was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. She provided excellent recommendations from the menu, and her knowledge of the dishes was impressive. Her warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel right at home. The food at Layal Cafe was delicious, and Joli's service elevated the entire dining experience. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're lucky enough to have Joli as your waitress. Thank you, Joli, for your amazing service!

First time visiting…had some of the best authentic Mediterranean food tonight at Layal! Lamb & beef kabob plates…the portions were humongous!! Shout out to our server Omar who was great…provided service with a smile. He didn’t mind me asking “what is this and what is that? From the hot tea with mint to the hookah…wonderful from start to finish! The owners know what they are doing..I felt like I was sitting somewhere in Jordan!

Our party, consisting of six adults and one child, was promptly seated upon arrival. The quality of both the food and the ambience was excellent. Throughout our dining experience, the manager and staff made multiple visits to ensure our satisfaction. Our waiter, Yousuf, displayed remarkable patience and kindness, providing detailed explanations of the menu items. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable experience, and we certainly plan to return.
