Layali Beirut Cafe Restaurant - Authentic Lebanese Cuisine in Astoria, NY

hands down one of my favourite places i ordered chicken kabab and tabboule and it made me feel at home for a minute. staff is very sweet , i didnt drink shisha my friend did and he said it was very tasteful also the man that serves shisha is adorable.

Delicious food, chicken kebab is always the way to go, definitely recommend for a good dinner/chill calm vibes spot

I was iffy at first coming here. But I gave it a shot anyway. The hookahs were good and the guy who made and served the hookahs was very nice. The hookahs were tasteful and greatly priced. Took us a little while to order because they only had 1 waitress. And the poor lady was on break so we didn’t want to interrupt. After ordering it took us a good 45 minutes to receive the entrees. Which wasn’t all that. I had the falafel sandwich with fries (dry). And my guests had the combo plate with meats and rice. Lamb chops were super small and was mostly fat on there. Bill was kind of high considering the size of the entrees. It is wheel chair accessible and kid friendly for the most part. The environment inside was clean & middle eastern themed which was pretty cool. Different than the rest of spots on the block.

Layali Beirut is a hidden gem in Astoria! The food is incredibly delicious, with authentic Lebanese flavors. The owner and staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel like family. The hookah selection is impressive, with great taste and smooth smoke. Only drawbacks: prices are a bit steep, and they didn't have everything on the menu when we visited. Minor complaints, though - overall, a fantastic experience.

I think this restaurant is a really good place to have Libanese food in a great atmosphere with comfortable chairs, good and traditional music, nice decoration, good attention, and overall great food. The dishes are very typically and very well done. We ordered an appetizer with a creamy hummus and eggplant and salads. The hot plates were really flavorfull, especially the "lamb stew" which I highly recommend. Portions are very big so can share and take home. Maybe to improve I would say they are quite slow at serving the food.

Awesome little shop, good smoke, good food and great people, the tea is really good and service is good. Pretty laid back place. I like quite places due to being half deaf and the music is light the lighting is turned down and the seating is comfortable

Hands down one of my favorite spots in Astoria! I’ve been here multiple times and it never disappoints. The restaurant is super clean, the service is always top-notch, and the staff is warm and welcoming every time. This time I got the mixed grill platter, fried chicken & Lamb Shank with their signature white and green sauces — Everything was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The sauces take it to the next level! Layali Beirut has officially become my go-to restaurant whenever I want a great meal or need to impress guests. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic, flavorful food in a great atmosphere.

Very good Lebanese food. Fairly new to lebanese/Arab foods, but sofar loving it and this place helps. Best plain Hummus iv ever had. I had to ask for more. The fattoush salad very refreshing. The main course was the platter with chicken beef and lamb kebab. Very well seasoned and tender. Finished off with a desert called Knafeh. A lightly sweetened cheese desert. Great service. The atmosphere is small and very decorated, but at times can feel abit busy. The owner came out and greeted us, great guy.
