Cafe Layal Midtown

This restaurant is mediocre compared to other Arabic restaurants in Houston. The food is good, but the menu is not diverse. They only offer a limited variety of common Arabic and Middle Eastern food. I prefer Layal at Hilcroft to this one. They have much more beautiful atmosphere and a menu with a very good variety of options.

an absolute delight—it immediately brought back the vibrant sights, sounds, and flavors of my past trips to Dubai and the Middle East. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was simply captivating. The decor and ambiance truly captured that distinct, elegant, yet warm Middle Eastern hospitality. ​The food was the true star, of course. Every dish, from the fragrant , mixed grilled kebabs was authentic and prepared with incredible care. The flavors were so rich and layered; they tasted just as I remember them from the bustling souks and fine dining spots in Dubai. The mixture was the perfect sweet finish. ​The service was impeccable—attentive, gracious, and welcoming, perfectly mirroring the exceptional hospitality you find in the region. ​If you're looking for an unforgettable meal that offers a genuine culinary escape, look no further. It's more than just a dinner; it's a nostalgic journey. Highly recommended!

Very good hookah lounge, and it’s BYOB fo a charge. Their hookah is well prepared so this my friend and i’s go to spot. Food wise, I haven’t eaten here often but the few things I’ve had were fairly decent.

Layal Middle Eastern Restaurant is a gem in Houston. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything we ordered was well-seasoned and authentic, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal, and the staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. You can really feel the love for the cuisine here, home made breads and all. Highly recommend if you’re craving quality Middle Eastern food. We’ll definitely be back!
