Layalina

I was in London for one night visiting my sister and she suggested this restaurant having been there a number of times recently. Food was lovely and would definitely recommend the Hummus with Coriander and Chilli and the Chicken Taouk. Definitely worth a visit and it seems like a hidden gem.

There are a lot of Lebanese restaurants in London, and they all vary in quality and decor.

Laya'lina is different in that not only does it have a very nice, modern enviroment, but it also offers something a little different foodwise. Not only does it offer a selection of hot and cold mezzes, including favourites such as fatoush (a salad of mixed leaves, tomato, sumac and roasted Lebanese bread croutons), hommus and baba ghanoush, but also chargrilled specialities and unusual main courses. We had the Siyyadiyeh, a fish and rice dish and Aubergine and Cauliflower Kabsa, a popular rice dish.

Both were well seasoned and tasty. Can't comment on the desserts as we had no room left, but I think another visit is in order...
