Layla's Falafel

Laylas falafo was always a favorite destination to get some tasty lebanese platters and sandwiches. They recently catered for our son's third birthday and we couldn't have been happier with the selection of catering arriving in well packed pristine condition and the freshness of the food. Highly recommended are the falafel, chicken kebab, kafta and chicken shawarma. All came with an assorted set of salads, pitas, pickles and of course, tahini and toum. Everyone had a blast. Leila did not disappoint!!

We ordered catering for my husband's birthday party and the food was outstanding and beyond our expectations. Everything was fresh, and everyone kept mentioning how good it was. JP is an excellent communicator, making the catering ordering process seamless. Tip -- order extra....Mediterranean food makes excellent leftovers! We will be ordering again soon!

Food was delicious. Owner was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options (almost everything) and they have a dedicated GF fryer. Absolutely will return again next time I am passing through Stanford. Generous portions as well.

(Update) I was unsure about the food being halal, but spoke to the owner and he ensured me that all meat is halal. Bacon here, for example, is halal turkey bacon, etc. -------------------------------------------- (Original) I don't think I'm going to say anything that hasn't been said before. As a restaurant owner myself (Nina's Desi Kitchen), I could see how well this team worked together. Even during evening rush hour, they kept their cool. The gentleman who took our order told me that our food should be ready soon, thinking that we might think it's late. But, I could see them work and it wasn't like they were slacking, so we obviously didn't mind the wait. Took about 20 minutes, and was well worth it. Food was really good. Halal food, and this good, really was a great end to a long day. We live far, otherwise I would have been a frequent. Between 3 adults and a kid, we spent about $80, which I'd consider good for a filling dinner, that we forced ourselves to finish.

I have been here one month ago. We ordered Falafel and Spinach roll/sandwich. Both were very delicious. The specific sour taste of spinach with onions were fantastic. Although it was a small restaurant, it was clean and the food were good.
