Layla’s Bistro

We went here on a quiet night. Service was pretty good but the food was too ordinary. We ordered their Italian soda, calamari, spaghetti with meat balls and chicken carbonara. The calamari was very soft and not crispy at all. Spaghetti was lack of flavor. Chicken carbonara was ok but lack of salt. Italian soda was disgusting and tasted like water with little bit of mango flavor. Won’t come back here again. Not worth it for the bill of 50 smt dollars.

So glad we went. First experience was via Door Dash and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food (even after delivery) so we then thought we should try it in person. So glad we did (did I already say that?)
Try the calamari — tender and yummy.

I have no idea how anyone is giving this place 5 stars. I ordered crab stuffed mushrooms and lobster Ravioli. The mushrooms are disgusting I ate one and almost threw up! Why is it drenched in sauce? Waste of money for sure! The ravioli was alright the Alfredo sauce has a weird taste to it! My daughter got spaghetti she loves spaghetti she ate one noodle and said it was gross. Maybe I picked a bad night to order from here but now I know!

I have lived in the area for 2 years and never seen this place. It’s a clean homey-​cozy atmosphere. I typically will look for a deal as I have two kids and we are a fam of 4. So I found Layla’s on
. The ad said Wednesday one kids eats free with adult meal purchase. The waiter had never seen the deal so could not give it. Said he would report to owner. Didn’t matter to me since the food was delicious and service was good. My son is autistic and can be quite demanding. The waiter provided two extra servings of garlic bread which kept my son content. Dinner was a win win. Thank you Layla’s. We will return.

They have really good food and awesome portion sizes. Their burger was on point and their chicken pesto was super good too.
Layla is super nice and makes sure that you are happy with your meal.
I order from there on door dash all the time.
Definitely a hidden gem!
And for the people looking for halal food, look no further and hit this place up :)

First, I’d like to say that the food quality was excellent. Especially for Italian Delivery. The food was still warm and was packaged well to avoid sogginess (which is clutch). The food also arrived in decent time.
The one negative comment I have is due to incorrect order, we ordered a side salad with ranch. Instead, a house salad with nuts/​fruit and some sort of vinaigrette dressing showed up… Honest mistake but due to my food allergies it could have led to a less than enjoyable evening.

Nice meal at Laylas again. I had the eggs benedict, yummy hollandaise prepared just right at room temp. Quaint place, great atmosphere, European café kinda feel.
The owner is almost always here when we come in and likes to chat. Very attentive service.
Give it a chance. …and enjoy.

This place is great, reminds me of back hime and how italians cooked over there in NY also bringing that friendly atmosohere as well. Nothing but good times here. I would’ve given 5 stars if they served Peroni an italian beer, but they have stella so thats great.

A very nice find close to home! Reasonable prices, with fresh and tasty salads, pasta and chicken. Through Unilocal check in, you can get a free glass of wine or dessert. Very attentive service also. The owner came over and introduced herself. A nice little place in a convenient location. We’ll be back!

Very good food and such a cute little spot. Owner is so great. A must try — keep small businesses alive!

Halal food and so nice customer service. Owner of the place is so friendly. Will come back again and again.

The food is delicious! The ambiance is beautiful and the service is great! Very nice people!

Long day at work, feet aching just a call away my pizza, eggplant parmesan and tiramisu arrived at my door in a short amount of time. Thank you so much for making my night. We had only dine in food before but the option to have it delivered totally made my day/​night.

Not impressed. Spent almost $ 50 and got a chicken pesto sandwich with no taste, like it was microwaved. Fries full of grease and under cooked. Crab stuffed mushrooms full of NO crab but full of nasty Alfredo sauce and bread crumbs. oh and that nasty Alfredo sauce was spilled all over all of our food. once we opened the plastic bag sauce was every where. Cheese Pizza Was Good For My 5yr old. Over all It was like fast food but double the price. Never will order again. Oh last thing took 75 min. Not impressed :(

First time trying this place, I know location is small and hidden but I wanted to like it really badly. But I couldn’t. Stromboli was almost all dough, not cooked all the way. Service was poor, there was no attention. I felt a weird vibe, so I hoped the food would be good, but I wasn’t able to enjoy it. By the time the waiter came by we were done so I just asked or a box and I plan on cooking fully later.
I’m sure this will be read, feedback is always important. I would focus heavily on:
1) Customer Focus
2) Quality of cooking
3) Focus more on the experience rather than basic business drivers such as weekday specials, deals, groupons, etc. I’d rather have an awesome experience of dining there than being enticed by $ 5 off a pizza.
Hope this helps, I would love to come back! Thanks for listening.

Great qualities:
We picked up our order and every last bite was a delight! This place is only open for dinner, but well worth it. We got the fried calamari, Pesto crostini, NY stromboli, seafood pasta, and cannoli for dessert. (The mulberry cannoli is a free treat with orders over 35 $– and a treat indeed!) Portions are very generous! Both of us had lunch and dinner left for the next day!
Improvements:
Service was great when we got there, but there phone went straight to vmail when I called and it was full, so could not leave a message.
eat24 app originally said order needed to be 40 $ for delivery, then when I enrolled it said 100 $ purchase required for delivery. So Unilocal also needs to be updated, maybe this was how it was in the past, but not any more!
Final thoughts:
Delicious food at an affordable price. The full size Stromboli is enough for 2 – 3 people alone. But I plan to try other dishes as well. Going back without a doubt!

Based on start and end I generously give 4 stars.
Upon arrival there were only 4 customers at 7pm on a Saturday, Seemed light. Ordered calamari and calzone. Excellent and very good respectively. Ordered the California pesto and sundried tomato pizza. That would be a ½ star in my book. Off flavor and dry. Also by that time two additional parties of 8 joined. This overwhelmed the single waiter place at which time I believe the manager appeared and helped out. Still I waited 15min for a bill or water or recognition of most any sort. Finally after my wife left to shop near by (note convenient shopping near by at Indian market), I went up to speak to mtg and settled my bill. She was quite understanding and apologetic and did all that was possible to make things well with me and I did much appreciate that as you can see by 4 star review on what was looking like a 1.5.
Please I nearly left off other fun experiences like the adjoining table with baby being passed around and then I guess had a BM leak onto the fathers shirt who said several times he pooped on my shirt, then his 7 yr old girls repeated this. And the waiter who accidentally spilled marinara sauce on my wife’s purse but did nothing to wipe it up.
I may give this place anther chance, probably not taking the wife, only the kids.

My guy and I were going to try Layla’s, but then we read the reviews on Unilocal and decided not to… Fast forward a few months and my dad gets a living social deal (or something like that) so my mom and I finally went to try it out for ourselves and I’m glad we did.
Service: The service is very good. There was just one waiter both times I’ve been here (the same guy) and he was all smiles and very polite and attentive. Sweet guy.
Food: The food is alright. It’s not really anything new, pretty much just basic Italian, but they do have a number of vegetarian options and I appreciate that very much. The complimentary garlic bread they give you is very good, and they bring more if you want. The calamari is recommended (my friend had it, lots of garlic!) and I’ve tried the vegetarian Stromboli, the fettuccini alfredo, and the bruschetta. The bruschetta is good, very different. They use chopped olives which adds a whole different flavor from typical/​traditional bruschetta. I liked my entrées alright, but wasn’t super crazy about them. It was solid though, not bad. The meat dishes may be better.
Atmosphere: They play really great music, and I like some of the décor, but they go a little too far in my opinion. I feel bad saying that because you can tell someone put a lot of love into it, but some of the elements take it from looking nice to a little cheap, like the warped placemats and fake grapes everywhere. It makes it look too stereotypically «Italian» rather than a nod to it. I think just getting rid of the placemats would help a lot. The first time I came it smelled really fishy, but the second time was fine.
Overall: I’ll be back! It’s a pretty nice place, very cute. Support local venues!

What a horrible experience. This was my first time the restaurant. I am pretty sure I will not be going back in the future.
1. Got to the restaurant at 5:10pm it was closed. Went next door to do some shopping and returned at 5:30pm. The resultant was then open. If you say you going to open at 5:00 you should open at 5:00.
2. Asked the server for vegetarian pasta options he said to try the pasta primavera it comes with steamed veggies and a cream sauces. I told him I don’t want any other veggies just mushroom and a pink sauce. I ordered 2. They said it will take 20 mins.
3. I paid $ 34.47 for 2 pastas. A total rip of. 11.95 per pasta and 1.95 per pasta for «extra mushrooms». The server did not inform me about the extra charge for the mushrooms. Even after I told him no other veggies just mushroom.
4. After 15 min went back to pick up my order just to find out it was made with white sauces not pink like ordered. They fixed it in 5 mins.
5. The pasta was horrible! Over cooked and absolutely no flavor or salt. I think it was over cooked because instead of remaking the pasta with the pink sauce they just added marinara to the pasta and reheated. Which over cooked the pasta.
6. When I looks at my bill at home again I realized the server overcharged me by $ 5.00.
There you go 6 reasons I will never go back

This is a fun little place with good food and service. The best thing is the pizza
Especially if you like thin crust as much as I do. They use a dusting of corn meal on the bottom just like i had in Italy. Molto benne.
