    Baklava
    Darian C.

    I really liked their gyro wrap. The meat was tender and seasoned well and not dry! The pita was crispy and warm. I ordered the combo so it came with fries but they were alright. They could be crispier. I also got to try their baklava which was really good, I had to go up a second time to order more! The workers were really nice and the food came out fast. There wasn't many people there so plenty of seating.

    Originally this was a 5 star weekly meal. It has gone down hill in the last year. The older man that worked was always on top of it. Tonight some young kid. The last few times have been missing items, or poor quality.

    Chicken Shawarma pita wrap
    Lauren R.

    I really wanted to love Leyla's knowing it was a friend's favorite, but it was just ok. Ordered a chicken shawarma pita for pickup, everything ready on time with no wait. Unfortunately, the bread seemed a bit too chewy (on its way to stale) and the main flavor was from the sauce poured on top. Nothing to bring me back, but it was a good amount of food for your dime.

    Gyro Plate
    Aj J.

    I first tried this place in 2023 and it was really tasty. Since then I have had it 10+ times. The only items I usually get are the chicken and gyro plate, the gyro plate, or the gyro. In addition to those I have had their fries, onion rings, and fried pickles. I will say I really do enjoy their rice, their jalapeño sauce, and their gyro wraps. I do feel like something is missing from their wraps however and I wish it had one more thing. I also don't prefer their fries. Other than that my only complaints are: inconsistent portion sizes, varying taste of the hummus, hard bits in the gyro meat (sometimes ), and occasionally they don't have certain things that are on the menu available. The pitas that come on the side of their plates is a lot thinner than what I prefer but they are large and still tasty. There are great flavors in the meat. The cucumbers are refreshing. And I do like their hummus a lot (when it's tasting right). They are also sully pretty quick about getting my order to me as well. I do feel like the mediterranean scene in the Austin area has fell off so it's not something I get as much anymore, but when I am craving it I think Leyla's is a good fix.

    Chicken/Gyro combo
    Jim N.

    Solid Mediterranean food at Leyla's! We opted for delivery from Leyla's after a long day working around the house. Good choice. The food was pre-ordered earlier in the day and arrived on time! We tried three different plates, beef kabob, ground lamb and a chicken/gyro meat combo. All the meats were good, the beef gyro was our favorite of the group. The sides were hummus, tabbouleh, eggplant and house salad. The house salad was unimpressive, but the other three sides were deelish! We'd avoid the house salad next time around. Definitely 4 stars worthy, recommend Leyla's for a good Med meal.

    Inside

    Leyla's is a nice find for a quick Mediterranean craving fix in Cedar Park. The staff is very friendly, and they offer a couple decent vegetarian and vegan options. One thing I found interesting was that I was able to try fried okra instead of falafel as a side for my vegetarian plate. I love fried okra, but often only associate it with Southern food restaurants like Luby's. My boyfriend got a shawarma wrap but found the wrap to be too oily for his taste. He did get through half before calling it quits. As for my plate, I gobbled up the hummus and okra, and even used some tahini to dip the fried okra into. There was a LOT of food however, so I couldn't get through the rice or my side pita (I did eat the side pita the next day though)! I wouldn't say this is my favorite or the best Mediterranean restaurant in the Austin area, but if you are starving and craving some okra and hummus, this is a good spot to head to.

    Inside seating at Layla's
    Jeff B.

    It was only my second time here, and it was the first time I ate inside. I ordered the chicken and gyro plate. It was ready for pick up in about 5 minutes. I enjoyed the different flavors. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The meat was soft and blended well. The staff was nice and observant. They offered assistance when I looked lost trying to find the napkins. There were only a couple of people eating inside, but several customers stopped in to pick up their orders. When the customers inside left the staff cleaned the tables. The seating was functional, and they were playing Mediterranean music, I'm guessing. It was nice and soothing. There is plenty of parking that is shared with a few other businesses. If you like Mediterranean Food or just want to try some, then stop by Layla's. You might be pleasantly surprised.

    Greek salad with chicken & baklava
    Heather B.

    The staff here is fabulous! I received a very warm welcome when I came in.  And when they found out it was my forest time, they seemed to go the extra mile to help me make a great choice and choose my baklava. My Greek salad with chicken was crazy good! It was covered with so much chicken that I was actually full before I got to the salad! And the baklava! It took me back to my Greek neighbors who brought me homemade baklava. Perfect layers, nuts, and sweetness! Mmmm... I can't wait to go back!

    Gyro Plate
    Mallory P.

    Delighted with my experience from this Mediterranean cafe. I ordered the food for delivery and the service was great. The food was well packaged so it kept it temperature. It arrived fairly quickly after ordering. The menu options offer your traditional Mediterranean options. I went for the gyro plate and it was a delicious choice. The portions are great this dish will definitely fill you! The pita bread was unique and a little thinner than your traditional pita. I myself prefer the traditional thick pita bread so that part left a little something to be desired. Overall I would order from here again and recommend to anyone.

    Obviously overall everything is superb Food to die for so…read moremany choices Service is excellent and friendly Ambiance looks very clean and amazing Affordable

    I'd been wanting to check this place out for quite some time. There's another location in Round…read moreRock, but many reviewers said the original spot is much better, so we decided to start with the OG location. Parking is plentiful right in front of the restaurant. We came by on a Saturday around 1 PM, worried it might be packed, but it was actually pretty quiet. You can sit anywhere you like, grab a plate, and pay when you're done. The space is large and open, with three full rows of food and drinks plus a dedicated station for fruit and desserts. Everything was fresh, not overly salty, and there were plenty of options. My favorites were the hummus with eggplant (so flavorful with great texture), the salad and cucumber salad (fresh and refreshing), the dolma (perfectly done), gyro (tender and tasty), baked cauliflower (so good), fried chicken (juicy, crispy, and not salty), falafel (extra crunchy), and the lentil soup (simple but delicious). And don't miss their coffee at the checkout--it has a hint of warm spice and is the perfect finish after a meal. Surprisingly, I ended up loving the vegetable dishes even more than the meats. Overall, yes, $26 per person is on the higher side (what doesn't cost these days, right?!), but it's a great spot to try a variety of Mediterranean dishes that are fresh, simply seasoned, and let the ingredients shine--perfect whether you're new to the cuisine or just want a bit of everything.
