Customer's reviews

I had never eaten Lebanese food until now, and I truly believe I won't find another place like this one again. The food was amazing with exceptional flavors for each dish. I recommended the restaurant to other seasoned travelers during my stay, and they all stopped in for a meal. One night, eight of us went in for dinner and were seated immediately. The wine recommendations were excellent along with the meals. I ate here twice during my stay and would love to have eaten there each night. I ordered something different each time, and everything was even more amazing. I highly recommend that you go in to have one of the best meals you will eat while in Malta. And kudos to the chef as he was quick with preparation while continuing to maintain the quality of the meals. Thank you for the experience!! ~ 01geek
An Absolute Gem in the Heart of St. Julian’s! Leyla is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Malta. This stylish Lebanese restaurant is beautifully designed with so much attention to detail – from the elegant décor to the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish is halal, freshly prepared, and bursting with flavor. You can really taste the quality and authenticity in every bite – the spices are perfectly balanced, and the ingredients are top-notch. Whether you’re familiar with Lebanese cuisine or trying it for the first time, Leyla will blow you away. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special meal in a beautiful setting. Can’t wait to go back! ~ Dunja O
