Welcome to the only outpost in town where the chef is also the waitress, table buster, and owner. In spite of this wearing of multiple hats, it actually works.
The Persian stews are amazing - gormeh sabzi, fessenjon (our favorite) - and koobideh (kabbob).
We've also recently tried the Saturday brunch menu and that was delicious. I certainly hope Layla's stays in business because it's a much needed addition to Madison's Middle Eastern food selection.
Layla has typically been responsive on her facebook fanpage, and also takes requests for certain special occasions.
Here's an old review in the Isthmus were we learned about her restaurant: http://m.host.madison.com/entertainment/dining/restaurant-news-layla-s-persian-food-opens-in-old-cafe/article_14d28a1c-de08-506e-889b-638688c4c778.html?mobile_touch=true.
