Food was very delicious. Great customer service. The food was very tastey, thespare ribs was great. The hammus was to die for. The owners daughter came to say hi and was very friendly to my 3 kids. She even told us the story behind the outfit showcased ( her wedding gown hand made by her mum) in the store and said her mum would make one for my daughter. Very clean place. I also recommend the mint tea.

Very underrated place. Not many people know that’s what I feel. Yes food is little bit expensive here but the chicken shawarma platter with rice and hummus is very tasty, fresh and hot every time we order it . Their quantity, quality and taste justifies the price.

We went there for lunch as a first-time visit. The atmosphere is relaxed. The service is good. The recipes are of Turkish cuisine, so it might differ in taste from other Mediterranean restaurants. The Kibba appetizers are good, especially with the yogurt-based sauce. The Fatoush salad is good, but the dressing was overpowering for my taste. The Shawarma plate is excellent with the rice and Taboulleh salad. The chicken Shawarma was a little lacking in spices. There are plenty of portions with their entrées. Be prepared to take some home. We will be back soon to try other dishes.

I don’t think I know how greek/Mediterranean food is supposed to taste. But what I can say is Layalina’s had by far the best tasting Mediterranean food I’ve tried.

I went to this place for the first time base on a random search for Mediterranean food. If you are around Denton and like Mediterranean food and lounge, this is a good place. The server was excellent, efficient, and polite. I went there for my lunch was not busy, and no wait time.

We love Mediterranean food. Layalina was delicious. We had the vegetarian/mezza plate, Lamb kabab and a gyro.

Interesting spot. The lamps are lovely! We don’t really do hookah. Food was ok. Baba ganoush was out of this world!! Hummus & fresh pita bread was very good, too!

I came here to explore the Mediterranean options of Denton. Came here on April 20th of 2023, was received with open arms and friendly service. I want to mention Joselyn who gave me a wonderful introduction and answered all my questions. The whole atmosphere in the lounge was wonderful and I felt like I was at home. When the food came (lamb kebab with rice), I was amazed by the huge portion and the aroma. Even the rice was very well seasoned with lemon juice, onions, and spices. Special thanks to Mohamed and Joselyn for their service!

Excited we found a Lebanese place near our home to go to. Cute place, our server was nice, food was very good! The atmosphere was nice but it was dark (not sure why the lights weren’t on) and it was really warm (not sure why the ac wasn’t cranked up-hot day). Besides all that, we will go again

Came here for an early dinner with a friend, incredible food and the service was amazing. I think it was only one server in the restaurant but she was super nice and friendly and honestly was the best part of the experience. Definitely will be back!
