    If the service was a bit faster, this would be a knock out. Friendly staff. Great drinks, gourmet milkshakes, good burgers/fries. I got a skillet with their potatoes, house made garlic chili sauce, shawarma chicken and two over easy eggs - delicious!! Be prepared for laid back & don't be in a rush & you'll have a great meal.

    My friends and I loved Layla. The food and drinks were all excellent and we especially love that they carry so much local meat and tasty craft beer!

    They might have the yummiest burgers in STL. Can't wait to go back and try their shakes!

    I was a bit hesitant to choose a place that specialized in burgers and shawarma, but decided to take the plunge. We were not disappointed. There were four of us and two had burgers and two had shawarma and all were excellent. The shakes are great too. We had an appetizer platter and the hummus was amazing, and the wings were good. The baba ganoush was a disappointment as it was a bit bland; but that was the only disappointment on the night. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day for brunch!

    Great burgers and the vegetarian burger was delicious. They are pricey and I thought we were getting a free birthday dessert since we didn't order it but it was added to our bill.

    6 of us went for dinner and had a lovely evening. The service was good -- the waiter was attentive and checked on us regularly even though we were in a room separate from the one where he was stationed. The food was delightful: the falafel fresh and mildly spiced, the baba ganoush deliciously smoky. The meat lovers in the group reported that the chicken kebobs were tender and well-seasoned, as was the schwarma(sp?). For my taste there was way too much parsley in the tabbouleh -- I like more bulgur in mine -- but it was light and fresh, perfect for a hot summer evening. Lovely Lebanese music on the sound system though conversation was sometimes a challenge as it was quite loud. Overall, though, it was a fine evening and we'll be going back.

    Layla is getting better with time, and the restaurant, is getting nicer, as more amenities are being added. The food has always been wonderful, but now you have white table linen, and belly dancers to brighten up the place. The bar is also getting better, and though not expansive, it does have some nice wines and cocktails. Great experience, and a "must check out" in the Grove.

    This was my first time at Layla's. The portions were large but well made. Great to have a parking lot next door.
