First time eating at Layali Feast after a recommendation from a student.We orderedthe Lamb Mandi,Shawarma Platter and Kunafa. All three were absolutely delicious. Flavorful meat and fresh veggies. Perfectly cooked rice. We have enough left over to eat lunchthe next day. Will be ordering again. This might be our new favorite restaurant.

WOW!! I decided to try this when it was still a ghost kitchen completely at random, with the reasoning that at least I've never had a bad meal from a Lebanese kitchen. Plenty of mediocre ones. All I was asking for was reliably mediocre. They exceeded that and I will definitely be ordering again! 1 - the falafel was so moist and fresh, one of the best falafel wraps I've had. 2 - baba ganoush perfectly balanced flavors. I also appreciate that they garnish with parsley, because I can't abide the green onions that a lot of recipes use. That's just me, but if you happen to share my abhorrence of onions, good news for you here. 3 - stuffed grape leaves very fresh and lemony. 4 - Kunafa!!! To be fair, this was my first introduction to the dish so I have no point of comparison, but I've read some mouthwatering descriptions, and damn, it did NOT disappoint. ... The pita and fries were nothing special, but that's ok. I like the Basbousa, similar to what I've had before, moist and melt in your mouth sweet. The quality of the core dishes was great and good value for money for me as a vegetarian also. Very happy to hear they have a storefront now.
