Layali Beirut

"I was iffy at first coming here. But I gave it a shot anyway. The hookahs were good and the guy who made and served the hookahs was very nice. The hookahs were tasteful and greatly priced. Took us a little while to order because they only had 1 waitress. And the poor lady was on break so we didn’t want to interrupt. After ordering it took us a good 45 minutes to receive the entrees. Which wasn’t all that. I had the falafel sandwich with fries (dry). And my guests had the combo plate with meats and rice. Lamb chops were super small and was mostly fat on there. Bill was kind of high considering the size of the entrees. It is wheel chair accessible and kid friendly for the most part. The environment inside was clean & middle eastern themed which was pretty cool. Different than the rest of spots on the block."

"My husband and I visited the restaurant Saturday night and it was a beautiful atmosphere and the food was great. Argili was good, the service was amazing. The owner was very kind, we went back the next day before leaving NY. Will definitely be visiting again soon."

"We love Mediterranean cuisine and tried Layali while we were passing through Astoria on Steinway St. We had the pita and hummus and falafel as apps. Our main dish was a plate with various delicious meats over a bed of rice. Everything was good. Will go back again for sure."

"Authentic fresh hot Lebanese cuisine. Good service. Food comes out in a reasonable time. Hummus is fresh. Portions are filling. Comfortable seating. Accept cash, Zelle, cash app, no cards"

"The servers were very attentive to our table. Got a mix grill and mint lemonade. The meat was tender, juicy and delicious. Big proportion of food with wide range of choices. Family run. Outstanding lebanese restaurant with great food and customer service. Definitely recommend it."
