Reviews for Layalina Restaurant in Oakland, CA
I want to give 4.5 stars but the system won?t let me. I passed by yesterday in search of a good falafel wrap. The overall... reviews of this restaurant on Google Maps were quite high, so I thought I would try their falafel wrap. The flavor was decentand it came with fries, which was nice. However, I didn?t feel like the falafel wrap flavor was so outstanding that I wouldcross town to come back here *for the falafel wrap*, and the fries were a little limp (though still hot and delicious and wellsalted). Photo provided. What *IS* outstanding is their Turkish Delight. They have a case with at least a dozen varieties. Theyare so appetizing looking that I bought 5 large bricks (that you serve by cutting into smaller pieces). I bought chocolatepistachio with nougat, sour cherry, pomegranate pistachio with nougat, and two of the mango pistachio with nougat. They areoutstanding thus far. Unfortunately we ate both of the mango ?bricks? before I thought to take a photo of just our ?bricks? bythemselves. So no photo of all of the Turkish Delight that I bought. But I do have a photo of the display case. Any way, I*WILL* be crossing town again to get more of these excellent desserts. Check ?em out! Read more

Love this spot for a quick, filling bite. Staff is super friendly and responsive. Food is on point, especially the shawarma... plates and the kafta wrap. Pleasant sidewalk seating with shade for the hot days and heaters when it's cool. Definitely willcontinue to give these lovely folks my business. ???? **Ignore the weird lighting on the photo, that's the sun filteringthrough the umbrella that the staff was kind enough to pop open for me on a blazing day.

Brand new gem on Telegraph! The place is so clean and nicely decorated. The food is great, fresh, and there?s a lot to choose... from. I?ve had their fries with gyro meat and feta and it was bomb! The best part for me is their dessert display. So many tochoose from, you?ll want one of each! Check this place out, you won?t be disappointed! Read more
