the authenticity of the Lebanese cuisine, Skewers are delicious and reasonably priced. However, the appetizers are a joke. The hummus, priced at $18,barely three spoons of hummus. The labna was even less than an ounce. The kanafe, at $24, was a delicious four-inch square. But worth 24$ absolutely not ! The ambiance was fun and the place was energetic. It was traditional flavors served at unreasonably high prices with tiny portions. This isn’t the Middle East or Lebanese generosity.

nice lebanese restaurant. food is good. atmosphere is good. however, they give you one piece of pita even when we ordered 4 appetizers. one pita for 2 people. if you ask for more , they charge $5 for 2 pieces. pretty ridiculous for a nicer restaurant that charges $14 for hummus. things like this is a deal breaker for me to return.

Second time going to Laya, and it was exceptional (as was the first time!). Excellent upscale Lebanese food, with ambiance to match. Bravo Charbel and team! Can't wait to go back.
