"Genuinely disappointed! I've been to this eatery in the past and thought it must have changed hands or something. So different was our experience. Truly awful service! We were mostly ignored in our alcove table. I loved the privacy on the one hand, but time and again we had to wait and wait and wait to get attention. We refilled our own glasses which of course, I don't mind at all but our sparkling wine had been placed in a cooler out of reach. The music was ridiculously loud in the lounge area so much so that we couldn't enjoy the conversation with our guests. I mean, if what we want is a club environment, that's where we would have gone! The food was below average stale breads with the dip mezze and truly awful vegetab;es with the main courses. Bitter and decidely underwhelming. And a huge bill for all of this £175 for 4. Really?"

The quality and service are consistently good, however there are very few gluten free options and not enough attention given to special dietary requirements. Menu getting rather predicable.

We visited Layla for the first time on Friday night. It's the best Lebanese we've ever had (and we're big fans). The service was outstanding and the portions are really generous. 5 dishes between two people is plenty. Great area for drinks at the front too. View menu

My friend and I dined at 7pm. The service was very good and food delicious. Portions slightly on the small side. The restaurant was very busy but service did not suffer as a result. My one negative comment is the music which seemed to get louder as the evening progressed. My friend and I found it difficult to hear each other and so I think this venue suits a younger crowd particularly as there is a bar at the front.

great atmosphere, especially on a Saturday night. I would recommend booking a place in the bar area for half an hour/an hour before her table in the restaurant, as there are some nice cocktails and usually acoustic music. eating itself is delicious and I would be the best way to make the best of it to share different dishes to get a real taste of as much as possible. great service, great atmosphere and good food, so I highly recommend.

Based on a friend's recommendation, I selected this restaurant for its cocktail bar. Since it was my birthday, I also decided to have dinner there. I am extremely pleased with my choice as the experience was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and checked on us regularly without being intrusive. The food was incredibly delicious, with a wide selection of vegetarian and meat dishes. Overall, they made my birthday very special. View menu

Want an afternoon tea with a difference? Try Layla's new offering. Sandwiches with unusual and tasty fillings, the best and lightest scones I have ever sampled and the most delightful little original pastries. Add to this a good choice of teas and a Bellini to kick it all off and you have a delightful afternoon. The service was friendly and attentive and my only criticism was the price. It certainly isn't cheap at £26.50 per head £36.50 if you have a champagne tea) but we were led to understand that they are looking to offer larger group discounts and possibly a slightly cheaper non alcohol version. We really enjoyed our afternoon and feel that Layla's afternoon tea is worth a visit.

On a busy Saturday night, this restaurant proved itself to be a popular choice, as reflected by the lively atmosphere. The front area features a well-appointed bar where you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink. Later in the evening, a live singer added to the ambiance. Moving towards the rear, the restaurant offers a variety of seating options, including cozy booths, a larger table recess area, and two spacious open sections. It appears that many patrons specifically reserve the booths in advance, indicating a loyal customer base. The Lebanese food served here is on par with what you would expect in Central London. Despite the bustling evening, the staff efficiently handled the crowd, ensuring exce...
