| - I want to give this place a higher score, but there were some things that I really thought detracted from the experience.
First off, just be aware that the place is small and there's only one person working there. I went with three other friends for Easter brunch and it was fairly busy. The place is nice and cozy, but probably only has about 5 tables in all.
Layla was really cool. She's sarcastic and interesting, and made me feel like I was hanging out with a friend at her place.
On to the food: I got a lamb sausage quiche and my friend got a beef brisket. Both were delicious but dear god this woman goes hard with the salt. I'll be the first to admit that I put salt on everything, but even I was shocked by how salty everything was. Almost to the point were it was inedible. Additionally, my quiche was barely warm which surprised me since I thought she was making it then and there.
Aside from that, the food also took about 30 mins or so to get out to us, so if you're looking for a quick meal this is NOT the place. I'm glad we got there early because the people that came after us were just sitting around waiting to get their water for like 15 mins. I realize this is one of the downsides of having a place owned and operated by a single person, and if you're coming here you should keep that in mind.
We got some baklava after our meal and it was delicious. No complaints there.
Overall, the place was an interesting experience. I liked the ambiance and Layla is great, but I didn't appreciate the amount of time I had to wait, the insane amount of salt in the food, and the fact that my food was cold. I'd definitely go back again because despite all that it was delicious.
