   Meh. Did the tasting menu and felt like an afterthought. Waited a decent amount of time before drinks got ordered/ served . No one checked in re food preferences / allergies. Wouldn’t recommend. Too many other good places nearby to waste time / money here . Food was mediocre .

   Good food but terribly overpriced. $38 for a piece of chicken with no sides. $30 fee to hold a birthday cake. Uncomfortably hot inside and no fans to alleviate the heat. Very beautiful and the food was tasty but no way one single octopus tentacle is $30. Servers were very helpful and nice.

    Very good food however the waiter was more interested in bringing the check than food maybe because he knows he doesn't need to work good because service is already included. He Forgot part of the order did not accept to bring desert because the kicken was already closed.

    Excellent cuisine ! We had the messe and the eggplant one was out of this world ! Then we ordered the cauliflower and the lamb. The lamb was delicious, perfectly cooked and tender, and very nice sweet sauce. For dessert we had the blonde, very strong almond taste I loved it ! The ambiance is nice ! Nice music and beautiful terrace with plants. We couldn’t sit outside unfortunately but if you can make a reservation for the terrasse I highly recommend it ! We paid 95 dollars for 2 people, with 20% tip comprised.

    Super cute ambiance- right on the canal. Decorated with a middle eastern tropical vibe. Food was superb. The mezze platter was super good. Falafel was super crispy on the outside and light on the inside. Everything was very flavorful. Cured salmon was amazing. To top it off service was perfect.

    Came a couple times, and the outdoor area is super cool! It's along the canal, shaded, and really cozy and intimate. Plus the food was SO good. Everyone was really friendly too. It's a gem in South beach.

    Very nice setting, patio and rooftop are on the smaller side but very neatly done. Good was excellent! Great service, staff was very friendly and didn’t insist we waited to be seated until all Lefebure of our party showed up like other SoBe restaurants do. Great little place to take a date or just to enjoy a nice change to the SoBe scene

    Unique outdoor setting overlooking a jungle-like garden area in the middle of Miami Beach. Food was excellent and many choices available. Max, our server, was super helpful, always on hand and friendly too. Overall a great experience and a “new find” to take out of town guests. Layla is part of a Kayak hotel, but it doesn’t seem like a hotel restaurant at all.

    Noise level is based on outside dining which was extremely pleasant. All of the food with the exception of the eggplant was spectacular. Eggplant was undercooked and so wasn’t as soft as it should be. All dishes - mezze, chicken, branzino and salmon were very well prepared and tasty. Will definitely return

    The food was all delicious and well prepared, especially the Branzino. Eating in the back garden/courtyard area was perfect as there was low humidity and a nice breeze. The service was very attentive until the end of the meal when the restaurant was very busy so the service was considerably slower. I have eaten here about 4 or 5 times and it’s consistently good.

The waiter was kind hearted and I could tell because I am an empath. He must have been an Aquarius. There will never be another restaurant like this. Santal 33 haunts me

    It was the last night of our vacation and I was hoping for something special. Layla delivered. We had an excellent meal. We started with the mezze platter, that I thoroughly recommend. By far the best babaganoush I’ve ever had. We also enjoyed the roasted carrots, kale salad, and cauliflower. Finally, the halva blondie for desert. The flavor combinations were thoughtful and well executed. Our server, Daniel, was excellent and attentive as well.

    Food ok. Didn't get past our starters. Waitress forgot that kitchen closes at 10 and didn't inform them of our order. We had starters and desserts were complimentary after their mistake. We were a party of 8. Not great. Hopefully just a one off incident.

    This spot was beautiful, great views and cozy books in the back outside. Fun ambiance but still chic. Furniture, decor looked and felt new. Service was so warm and knowledgeable, able to make quick suggestions of combinations, wine suggestions, drink descriptions so we knew what to order. The food was so good - melt in your mouth. I’ve had a lot of bad food at this price point, but this was arguably the best meal of our trip. Also we brought our 5 month old daughter and everyone was chill about breastfeeding.

    The food was absolutely delicious • The food comes out tapas style which is kinda annoying but once it arrived it was amazing. The service was on point and pretty quick. We sat outside on the patio. Once the sunsets get your bug spray. The mosquitoes will be on ya. One of the best Middle Eastern restaurant by far. Loved it and will definitely be back!

    Superb experience from start to finish. Jose was great and attentive. Knew his menu and his wines well. Layla’s haloumi salad showed a reverence for the cheese and was one of the best executions of haloumi I’ve ever had! Braised lamb shank with feta and Jerusalem artichokes was tasty, brown and authentic, but it could have used a bit more creativity to bring it to another level. I can’t wait to go back for a flaming saganaki!

    I would like to say that this is a hidden jewel in Miami Beach, but alas it has been opened for a year and only now we had the good fortune to enjoy it! And man, did we enjoy it. It all starts with the amazingly architecturally spectacular location - 1920s at its best. The small and chic hotel, it’s lobby bar and ambiance are movie-level! Then Layla is off the lobby and one enters another wonderful space. You can sit inside or outside by the waterway - we sat half&half and it was perfect. The drinks were excellent, the service superior and the food - well the food is the star of the event. We had a Lebanese friend with us and so the opinions on middle eastern cuisine are well founded and he gave an enthusiastic thumps up. We enjoy a phenomenal mezze, a lamb burger, a pastrami sauerkraut sandwich (it was at a NYC deli-level sandwich!) and a couple great salads. Overall, amazing meal and we cannot wait to go back. This is what Miami Beach is!
