Our story

A Lebanese table, set like home.

At Laylaki the table is the point. Small plates arrive one after another: hummus and moutabal, stuffed vine leaves, kibbeh and sambousek. Then the grill sends out its skewers, the bread keeps coming and nobody is in a hurry. It's a meal for sharing, the way it's done at home in Lebanon.

From the morning breakfast spread to the last song of the night, our doors are open every day, 9 AM to 1 AM.
