Reviews for Layalina Restaurant and Hookah Lounge in Jacksonville, FL

Such an amazing Middle Eastern restaurant! I can't say enough great things about this place! My mom and I eat here all the time... and the food is never boring or unexciting, as well as the friendliness of the staff! Food is made fresh to order, the way itshould be. You can taste the freshness as well as the many amazing flavors. I have lived in Israel and this place rivals thefood (especially the hummus!) I am such a fan of this place and it is truly a hidden gem in Jacksonville. It is worth the driveand the wait for the delicious food experience ???? Read more

This was our first time coming to this restaurant and everyone was so welcoming and so kind. Great spot to do hookah and drink... black tea ?? Good music and is very relaxing. Overall, great customer service. Big shoutout to Esla, she is very kind, and veryhelpful with helping us decide what to choose from the menu. Hadeel is also very sweet & outgoing. If you have a sweet tooth, dotry the Znoud el sit (picture down below). Read more

We tried several different things and found everything to be excellent! The rolled grape leaves were the best I have had in a... number of years. The hummus was very smooth and creamy. Service was excellent. Will be returning there often! Read more

very good place to dine-in for families, couples, alone, and have your party over there. friendly environment. can set inside... or outside. delicious Falafel, unique French fries, and delicious hummus. yummy bread. some suggestions to make the placebetter than what is now: providing guests with plates, utensils, bread and napkins before bringing food or before they ask forit. and it is nice to provide guests with some complimentary salad or tea :-) shawarma was a little bit dry. and everything wasgood . thank you .

Very delicious food. Fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly. I never personally do the... hookah but it looks cool and they appear to have a variety. No full bar just beer and wine. Definitely worth stopping in forShwarma. The hummus is the best I've had in Jacksonville. Read more
