The overall experience was a little less than OK. I went for lunch with my girlfriend in the hopes of having some delicious skewered meats.
We split the mixed grill which came with a small order of hummus, baba ghanouj, and pita. The hummus and baba ghanouj were pretty tasty however, the pita was extremely dry and seemed a bit stale. The mixed grill arrived and it was a pretty large portion: two different types of rice, chicken, beef, ground lamb/beef, and grilled vegetables. Every item on the plate was extremely DRY and under seasoned. Luckily I had saved some hummus, otherwise I'm not sure if I would have been able to swallow the chicken (moderate exaggeration).
After a less than satisfactory meal we waited over 15 minutes from when we gave our card to the waitress to pay for the bill until we were able to leave (the restaurant was at about 50-60% capacity at the time).
I wanted to enjoy this place, I love Middle Eastern food, but I think I will have to try the other places in town first before I give Layalina another chance.
