Layla's, you've got me on my knees






























layla’s. a favorite in little rock. i actually had my birthday lunch here and received the royal treatment, complete with a birthday serenade culminating with a demi-cup of delicious turkish style espresso (sweetened and condensed espresso with a hint of cardamon). my usual order is the greek salad, a gyro and 6 pieces of baklava to take home. yeah, i know, gyro meat isn’t particularly good for you, but it’s good and they know how to put it all together perfectly. the gyro (pronounced YEER-oh) consists of various compressed, rotisserie meats, marinated onions, yogurt tzatziki sauce all served on warm flatbread (tastier than a pocket pita) as a wrap sandwich. the greek salad, served with warm flat bread triangles, is a large plate of fresh iceberg lettuce, black olives, feta cheese and refreshing, homemade oil & lemon dressing. this is too much food for a one person lunch, find someone you like and share the greek salad. gorillaman ordered the gyro platter, pictured here, which is a build-your-own wrap plate. you will need more than one flatbread. we also ordered a hummus dip (pictured) and, as you can see by the photo, it is all served with love. get in your car.

check out Layla’s menu.
