Because Layalena is the closest and most centrally located hookah bar between me and my best gal, we meet up here about once or twice a month. Like all other valley hookah bars, poor Layalena has been reduced to forcing us tobacy smokin patrons out to the patio.
I remember back in the day when you could sit for hours sucking away at the tobacco pipe on the floor surrounded by pillows. Now you get stuck on patio furniture. It's okay Layalena, it's not YOUR fault. Hopefully you get heaters on said patio so I don't freeze to death.
What I don't like and IS your fault is that you never have the tobacco flavor I want and I am always reduced to getting something second rate. In addition, you really only serve four wines and twice you have been out of what I wanted.
I guess the service is a little above average for a hookah bar, but I still feel like it takes 20 minutes to get anything and I feel like the hookah cashes out a little early, but whatevs.
The food is good. A little overpriced. I normally get the sampler plate. The baklava (sp??) is realllly good.
I would love to sit inside and watch the bellydancers shake their moneymakers, but I am banished to the patio, so I watch admiringly from afar until I have to go into the bathroom.
