Layalina Restaurant & Cocktailbar in Hannover

A great location with great service and tasty food ☺️It couldn't be better 👍🏻Thank you

!!!! Price-ratio Absolute no go

The food is very delicious and the service is good.

The food is great and the service is acceptable.

The staff were really nice. The food was also delicious. The staff asked us several times if we needed anything.

Today, after 35 years, I felt like I had a second home. THANK YOU! As the saying goes, "Proud to be Lebanese." Thanks to the service💪 We'd love to come back! And to those complaining about the portion size: You don't throw good things around 😉

Food is good quality and tastes good but extremely expensive!!!

Nice food, good service, Arabic songs in the background. That’s a proper Arabic restaurant.

One of the best restaurants I've tried in Hanover. The service is great and the food is delicious. Good luck 🌸

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was lovely. I highly recommend it.

I recommend it. The food and service are amazing. May God bless them.

The ambiance was quite good. The staff were a bit short-tempered. The prices were too high for the food on offer.

Unfortunately, I can't say how the food was, because we left. The staff was so unfriendly and didn't seem to want to work at all. We didn't feel comfortable there. Luckily, there are a wide selection of other restaurants nearby, and we found a good one where the staff was very friendly.

Very delicious food and super friendly service! We'll be back again!

very nice staff and super delicious Sis Tawuuuk!

Friendly staff, great authentic food at a very fair price. Vegetarians and vegans are well catered for; simply a delicious experience. I always go there with my girlfriend when we're in town. Highly recommended

Ordered a meat platter and a bottle of water, received the cheapest, old, and coldest meat. Received very little (thawed?!) meat with a very cold rice and four leaves of lettuce, and paid almost €60. We usually eat well for that. Not recommended.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere and very courteous service! We'll definitely be back 👍🏼

The whole place, unfortunately everything smells strongly of fish....waited a long time for my falafel and still couldn't eat it, everything tasted very oily and fishy, ​​maybe you shouldn't fry the fish in the same deep fryer with the falafel and air it out more often?

The chicken was very delicious and they serve it with labne dip very good combination, but the Lamm ribs were not cooked well. It was a bit raw, and we found hair in it so we didn’t ate it at all. The service was great. Very polite staff

The meal was excellent. Everything was freshly prepared. Definitely recommended

Food tasted like nothing and was completely cold, and the missing part wasn't delivered as promised, that would be the least of it... absolutely not recommended!!

If you want to enjoy a nice dinner that's the place to go. We had the 2 person grill dish which was superb. Don't miss the Kunafa with cheese and their ice cream. A must-have. In addition to their service it's beyond excellent. The staff is very friendly and I'd like to thank Mr. Hassan for his hospitality and the Egyptian young lady who works there for being extremely hospitable.

This is the 7th or 8th time I go to this restaurant The first time in 4 years, it was more than excellent This time in Ramadan was very, very bad Although the chef is him The quality of the grills is bad, two pounds of meat and chicken have been in the grocery store for days Rice tastes bad Something sad If the owner of the store has another job and opens this store, he will earn money, then I advise him to take God into consideration and close it or find a solution.

The staff and atmosphere at Layalina Restaurant & Cocktail Bar were fine. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the food. The portions were very small compared to the price, and the food was served cold - especially the rice, which should definitely not be cold. In this condition the food was not edible for us. It's a real shame, we had hoped for much more.

Super delicious food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff – absolutely recommended!

Very good food and courteous staff! Highly recommended if you are looking for authentic Lebanese cuisine!

Super friendly staff. The food, or rather the buffet, left a lot to be desired. There was very little choice and it wasn't really tasty. It's a shame I expected more. There's still a lot of room for improvement.

The food is delicious, fresh, fresh and varied. There are many varieties and each food is better than the other. You can also enjoy and drink the best Arabic coffee. The place is nice and clean. It is worth a try.

I visited this restaurant for Iftar at 30 euros per person, and it was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. The food was poor quality, with very limited choices and no flavor. For the price, I expected so much more. I will never visit again and definitely do not recommend it to anyone.

I would not recommend this restaurant at all especially Ramadan's Buffet which was extremely expensive for what was offered : 1- they had not much choice for the main dish only chicken and meat that tasted bad 2- No bread was offered or Kebba or some of local pies, only 3 options for the appetizers. 3- No dattes where offered on Iftar for fasting people and local tee was not offered but you had to pay extrat which I find a shame for 30€ price 4- for desert same thing but even worst they offered fresh fruit salad but with no fresh fruits, most of them where industrial box fruits ... Long story short if you are going for iftar please don't waste your money because it's big scam and I really don't think we would go back to try the menu because I think it will be the same or even worse

It takes over 2 hours from order to delivery. The portions were very small. The price/performance ratio definitely didn't fit. The side salad was dry. The oriental rice was rice colored with cucumar. Overall, everything was very disappointing with various main courses and starters.

Boy, that was a disaster. I wish I could say something constructive, but I can't.

Unfortunately, the food is very bad. We left everyone as if there was nothing good, and during Ramadan, no one can drink anything other than water... Yalanji cans taste so bad that even children couldn't eat anything 👎🏻👎🏻 I don't recommend it

The food left a lot to be desired. Zero stars. I am disappointed with the Iftar buffet

We ended up at Layalina by chance but immediately felt at home! Both the food and the service were really great - an absolute recommendation, we will definitely come back!

Had dinner there for my birthday. Super tasty food, fast, courteous service and an absolutely reasonable price.

Very tasty food, a large selection for vegetarians and vegans. Among other things, we had the falafel bowl and can highly recommend it!

Heel lekker gegeten op oudejaars avond. Leuke bediening en gezellig druk, gezinnen, stellen vriendengroepen. Genoeg personeel. Ontspannen sfeer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Absolutely recommended! This restaurant exceeded my expectations! The dishes were not only incredibly tasty, but also lovingly prepared. The ingredients tasted fresh and you can tell that the cooking here is done with passion. The service was excellent – ​​friendly, attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. A true culinary experience!

The food is very good. I hope to visit it again... Thank you very much. The service is very wonderful and fast 🙏

Delicious dishes rich in vegetables, we will be happy to come back.

Our food was OK, the taste and portion size were just enough considering the price. However, the service was subpar, not unfriendly, but far from any hospitality and as a guest I don't have to put up with snarky comments.

Everything was very good, but unfortunately the skewers weren't completely cooked through, but they were fried straight away.

It was our first time here and we were lured by the beautiful pictures online and thought we would give it a try because we enjoy Lebanese cuisine often. UNFORTUNATELY I have to honestly say we wouldn't go there again. Food came really quickly (there was nothing going on except for 2 people), which is why it probably tasted more like it was thawing. Portion was also rather small than OK. Hummus was great. The salad was missing olive oil and we only got bread when we asked for it. The ambience is quite nice but I have to agree with someone else whether the artificial flowers fit. It's a matter of taste.

We ordered falafel plate and it was cold. Koefte plate with rice. Rice was cold and not cooked through

The food prices were affordable and the taste was not bad. A place worth seeing in the old town.

Food was very tasty. But the Dubai crepe is not recommended Unfortunately suffered severe stomach cramps afterwards. The customer friendliness was also quite good, tips were given and there wasn't even a thank you or anything tasty and we were almost alone in the shop.

The food was very tasty and is highly recommended. The ambience is a matter of taste.

Very good food and very acceptable prices 🫶🫶🫶

Das Layalina in der Kramerstr. in der Altstadt ist ein kleines, aber feines Restaurant mit libanesischer Küche. Es ist schlauchartig angelegt, gefliest und man bezahlt hier direkt an der Kasse am Eingang. Wir hatten reserviert, was auch an diesem Freitag Abend notwendig war. Was direkt auffiel war, dass die Tische aufgrund der Bodenfliesen nicht immer gerade stehen und kippeln. Es war zu beobachten, dass der ein oder andere Tisch im Restaurant etwas unterfüttert werden musste. Der Service ist hier sehr freundlich und auch sehr bemüht, allerdings auch quasi unsichtbar, nachdem abgeräumt wurde. Der Fliesenboden dürfte auch nicht ganz unschuldig an der Lärmentwicklung sein, denn als sich das Restaurant füllte, wurde es ziemlich laut. Und das ohne das hier große Gruppen am Start wären. Die Getränkeorder, Aperol Spritz (7,9€) und 1 Flasche Wasser 0,75l (6,9€), kam recht zügig an unseren Tisch. Vorweg teilten wir uns, auf die Empfehlung des Service hin, die „Mezza 2“ (29,9€) mit 3 Personen. Hier bekommt man 11 mit den verschiedensten Mezza gefüllten Schälchen und genug Fladenbrot dazu. Alles insgesamt sehr lecker und auch mehr als ausreichend. Als Hauptspeise orderten wir einmal die „Kafta“ (14.9€) und die „Fleischplatte vom Grill“ (26,9€). Die „Kafta“, knusprig gebratenes Rinderhack, waren lecker, aber für meinen Geschmack zu trocken. Da Saucen in der arabischen Küche scheinbar unüblich sind, war das Gericht, die Beilage war luftiger Reis, insgesamt eine recht trockene Angelegenheit. Da konnte auch das Schälchen Hummus nicht viel retten. Bei der „Fleischplatte vom Grill“ war die Hähnchenbrust und auch das Kafta ein wenig trocken. Alle anderen Fleischstücke waren aber in Ordnung. Insgesamt hatten wir im Lyalina aber eine schöne Zeit. Dass der Service nach dem Abräumen quasi unsichtbar war, war für uns an diesem Abend kein Problem, da wir alle viel zu satt waren, um noch einen Nachtisch zu probieren. Knappe 4 Sterne … beim Rinderhack und der Hühnerbrust gibt es am Herd aber noch Verbesserungspotential …

Very tasty food. Very cozy restaurant. I'd love to come back. Clean restaurant. Very nice employees. Especially the boss.

The ambience in the restaurant looks nice and cozy. The service is also friendly at first contact. When I complained, this changed to "annoyed". However, the food was delivered cold and the quality of my food was described quite favorably as catastrophic. My 2 companions had something different and were reasonably happy with their food. At least the drink wasn't charged, which was a positive thing for me. However, I will not visit the restaurant again.

Today I was with my girlfriend at Layalina where hospitality is very important. The ambience is warm and invites you to relax. A place where you feel like you are staying with friends. The service is attentive and warm, you can literally feel the joy in offering guests an authentic experience. If you want to experience a cozy evening in Lebanese flair, you will definitely find what you are looking for here.

Very nice shop. Service very very friendly. Nice atmosphere and delicious authentic food. I'd love to come back LG.

Great store. Service friendly. We accidentally ordered the wrong meal and the waitress gave us the right one on the house. Absolutely stable. The lamb was incredibly tender. In the end we got black tea for 8 people on the house. I can recommend it with heart. Lg

Super tasty food, very nice service and a nice ambience - perhaps the lighting was a bit too bright - but that's really a matter of taste.

I recommend the staff are very nice Syrian and love breakfast

I discovered the shop through NeoTaste and had lunch there today with a colleague. The food was super tasty and the quality was very impressive. The waiter was really very nice to us and served us well (recommendations, a little extra for dessert, etc.). I can only recommend eating here.

I discovered this Lebanese restaurant by chance. The staff is very nice and the selection of food is large. I first had a Manakish cheese zaatar, which was extremely tasty. But since I had been out all day and was still hungry, I ordered some Sambusik meat. These dumplings were to die for, especially the dip that went with them.

Staff and service very committed and good. The food was very tasty and authentic, I will definitely come back and can highly recommend the restaurant.

Yesterday I was at the Layalina Restaurant in the old town of Hanover and was absolutely thrilled! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff friendly and attentive. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the food. The dishes are authentic and full of flavor, you can tell that high-quality ingredients are important here. The selection of dishes offers something for every taste - whether meat lovers or vegetarians, everyone will find what they are looking for here. I tried the mezze platter and was amazed by the variety and freshness of the individual components. The main dishes, such as the tender lamb and the spicy chicken, were also prepared to perfection and simply delicious. The desserts round off the experience perfectly - a must for anyone who likes oriental sweets! Price-performance ratio is absolutely right here. I can only recommend the Layalina Restaurant to everyone!

My friends and me ate at this restaurant two days in a row. The food qualityz service and atmosphere were perfect. Kubbeh was very good, lamp chops were juicy and tasty. Halal meat 👍.

I am thoroughly impressed. It's been a long time since I've eaten something so tasty

Nice restaurant to recommend. delicious food 😋 Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere.

The food was excellent and the service was wonderful And the restaurant is clean I recommend it

Very good food ! The place is nice and the employees are super nice too. We loved the hummus, and the meat was sooo good. I recommend it if you are looking for good lebanese food !

The restaurant is central and clean, the waiter is very nice and attentive! We went with a NeoTaste discount and the experience was good. By ordering Fischplatte and Fleischplatte we were able to try many things. I must say that it took a long time to serve us the food since we had to wait almost 1 hour for the food. Fischplatte: The squid and fried fish are very delicious, but both the salmon and the prawn have been overcooked and are a bit dry. Fleischplatte: The lamb skewer is well seasoned and well done. But the lamb chop is overcooked and dry. Kebab and chicken skewer is good. So you know what to ask for and what not to ask for ;) If it weren't for the wait time I would give it 4 stars

A place with great potential. Very good location, spacious dining area and tasteful basic furnishings. I would describe it more as a bistro than a restaurant. The artificial flowers and the lack of cleanliness in the toilets are a bit inappropriate. We were there on a Friday afternoon, the food was served quickly and tasted good. The meat is fresh and well prepared. The beautiful woman who served us wasn't rude, but she wasn't very nice either. Perhaps only Lebanese visitors are greeted and served with a friendly smile and a little word :)

Very unpleasant service. Lady with chimeras, uninterested in the customer. Casual service, poor English. The salad was tasteless - bad sauce and little cheese, basically just lettuce. When I asked if they had lactose-free milk for coffee, the waitress started laughing loudly.

We were greeted by a blonde lady with a miserable facial expression and tone Very unfriendly!

I'm satisfied every time and write this entry while I'm waiting for my delivery - because I just know that it will be tip top again :) I regularly order food here once a month. I've never been to the restaurant, but I'll definitely do it again! When I order, I always order the same dishes because it is my absolute comfort food. Every time it is well packaged, tastes delicious and I am already looking forward to my next order. The food really tastes so damn good and the portions are really big. I always order vegetarian dishes. If I had one wish, it would be that when selecting “60. mezza 1 & 61. mezza 2” (at wolt) also has a completely vegetarian option. That would be awesome! Thank you for your delicious food and it's great to have you in Hanover! :)

I asked for local brewee beer and I got Becks in a Becks glas, they didnt even bother to fake it to the end🤣. Food was okay

Very good food, very friendly service! Portion size absolutely fine. Great value for money!

Food super delicious! The portion was decent and also reasonable in relation to the price. Clear recommendation!

At Layalina you can enjoy fish dishes especially (sea bream) at the highest level! The service is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Spaghetti ice cream is not spaghetti ice cream

Catastrophic. Although the service was very nice and attentive, it was more than bad across the board. We were asked about our order 4 (!) times. We (2 people) waited 40 minutes for our drinks. Tabbouleh starter came completely over-acided and without bread. The main course (Layalina plate for €31.90) was partly inedible: dry, hard and without the shrimp announced on the menu. A serving spoon was also missing. But after complaining, there was a lot of accommodation: we only paid half the price. Anyway!

This restaurant was not our destination. We decided to eat here at short notice. Since it was our first time here, we followed the waiter's recommendation and ordered Mezza 2 for 2 people. It was a delight of hot and cold dishes. The waitresses were very attentive, friendly and accommodating. If you don't mind a busy Kramerstrasse in Hanover's old town and enjoy watching people, you can sit here right in the middle of Hanover's life. If you like it quieter, you will find a quiet place in the restaurant. thank you for the service

Food was terrible. A small (for some dishes really small) piece of uncooked meat on top of a very dry rice. As decoration to make it fancy there was just a bunch of greens on top. The service was terrible, it took them almost one hour to prepare our food! They kept forgetting what we had ordered for multiple times, and once they brought us the wrong drink. They totally forgot about one of our dishes, and prepared it in 5 minutes while everyone was waiting to start; not surprised that the meat came out raw inside! Although the manager apologized us and was a nice man, but this place does not worth going at all. The prices are also high for such a poor service and food.

Normal espresso for €2.90, quite watery... even though it comes from a portafilter machine... I can't recommend the espresso

Delicious food and service! 😋 Nice looking and comfortable in there.

Very friendly, I can only recommend it

The cappuccino is simply delicious and the atmosphere is nice. I can only recommend it.

Totally delicious food in an upscale atmosphere. The grill plate is excellent and Mezze I is also totally delicious. If you just want to try out lots of different dishes, this is definitely the right place for you. I would love to come back.

The cleanliness is very good, the food is delicious

I like eating at Lebanese and can only say delicious food and nice staff

Terrible attitude towards the customer!!!!

Lots of good vegan dishes are also available.

Very good quality and price .. recommended 👌

We liked it. The food tasted very good and was attractively presented. We will definitely repeat this 👍

The food was served to us cold, upon request the food was put away in the microwave...The meat was toe and hardly edible. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing evening.

Can't be compared with Lebanese cuisine! Never again ! The Arabic salad without the classic spices, the lentil soup never tastes like chickpeas again!!!!!! Overly oversalted

The food was far too little for the high price. In addition, the waitress was very unfriendly and did not treat you politely. Not recommended at all. A pity!

Avoid this place at all costs. The manager oversold us on the food, recommending dishes for 7 people and promising a discount that never materialized. As a result, half of the food went to waste, much of it arrived cold, and the meat was tough and difficult to chew. At checkout, the manager denied ever offering a discount. Not only are they dishonest, but they also resort to cheap tactics to overcharge customers. This behavior tarnishes the reputation of Arab establishments.

According to the internet they were open, we drove 16 kilometers but it was closed

Never again!!!!! Disaster overpriced prices Cola Zero was non-carbonated and the buffet was ready quickly and they didn't even refill it

For 90€ two people and the food isn't even tasty, it's definitely not worth it! Buffet with 2-3 dishes and it's not even refilled

Very friendly staff and excellent food. Gladly again ...

Prett damn good food, also very different from most other restaurants here. Got food very quickly aswell! ~9min. Pretty big portions for their respective prices. I recommend this place 👍
