Clients reviews about Leyla Lebanese Cuisine

This Lebanese restaurant is beautifully decorated and a welcoming place located in St Julians. The dishes were served in a traditional style - beautifully, with taste and attention to detail. We opted for the following meze which were the muhammara dip, mutabal dip, arayes, sambousek, tabbouleh, falafel and the batata harra which were all divine; my favourite was the Arayes. The food was very tasty, well seasoned, they used fresh ingredients and had the perfect combinations of flavours. Moreover, you can really taste the quality and the care that goes into every dish. The staff were very polite, attentive, friendly and professional. I definitely recommend this place – for the quality of service and taste of the dishes. It is a must visit restaurant! ~ Sarah

Há muito não comia libanesa tão boa quanto a do Leyla. Tudo o que comemos estava maravilhoso: os quibes, o tabuleh e outras iguarias. O pessoal ainda foi gente boa e concordou fazer uma porção de quibes com 3 unidades, e não duas, como estava no cardápio. Recomendo, ainda mais no almoço ou fim de tarde, pra ver a vista da enseada. ~ ECT

Établissement charmant avec le charme à la libanaise. Vous y trouverez une ambiance sympa dans un quartier tranquille. La carte proposée est très bien et pour tout les budgets. Le service est très sympathique et accueillant. On avons pris plusieurs choses très bonnes et bien préparé par le chef. Je conseille vivement d'y aller passer un moment et de goûter à quelques plats. ~ Alexandre M

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

Καταπληκτικό λιβανέζικο εστιατόριο, πραγματικά δεν έχω λόγια. Ο σεφ ήταν καταπληκτικός ότι δοκιμάσαμε ήταν τέλειο! Πολύ όμορφο design εσωτερικά και σε πολύ όμορφη τοποθεσία. Το προσωπικό εξυπηρετικό έτοιμο να σου λύσει κάθε απορία. Για τους vegan και τους χορτοφάγους πραγματικά είναι ότι πρέπει θα το λατρέψουν. Τιμές ελαφρώς πάνω από το φυσιολογικό αλλά άξιζε. Η σούπα από φακές ήταν το κάτι άλλο, πρέπει να την δοκιμάσετε! ~ Vasileios K

"You said the salad was SMALL!!!" I moaned as my wife and I capitulated before the charming Maitre D- waiter. I had ordered the superb sea bass and chose fries rather than rice. My wife chose felafel and the side order of fries. We decided to share a salad, which the gentlemen described as "small". We could have easily split my fries and both been satisfied. Likewise, the salad was superb and easily enough for two people. Add to this the freshly made Lebanese bread... It was one of the saddest nights of my life seeing it cleared away because we were so full! Superb service, stunningly excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and decor, all washed down with a charming little Lebanese wine. €64 This place deserves all the praise. ~ Trev H

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

Bellissimo ristorante libanese a due passi da Paceville. Si mangiano i piatti tipici della tradizione libanese, con la possibilità di scegliere tra 3, 5 o 7 portate da dividere con tutto il tavolo. Costi adeguati alla qualità del prodotto. Attenzione a non esagerare, perché i gusti libanesi possono stuccare dopo un po', essendo grossomodo tutti a base di hummus di ceci, verdure e melograno ~ Antonio S

Incantevole ristorante libanese...Malta sorprende quando vuoi provare qualcosa di diverso ed internazionale...Leyla è Senza dubbio un tuffo nei sapori veri ed originali del Libano con piatti tipici della loro cucina locale..Staff gentile e presente ma non invadente! Assolutamente da provare! Consigliatissimo. ~ Martina E

Très bon restaurant libanais, le menu dégustation est très copieux et très bon. Nous étions 6 dont 2 enfants et 2 menus de 2 personnes ont suffi pour satisfaire toute la famille. Il n'y a pas de terrasse mais une loggia climatisée avec vue sur le port. Restaurant tres propre et agreable. Je recommande. ~ Audrey T

My friends and I had a fantastic dinner at Leyla Lebanese restaurant recently, and it exceeded all expectations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with soft music playing in the background, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening out. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, starting with classic mezze like hummus, and Kebbah. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The mixed grill platter was a highlight, with perfectly marinated meats cooked to perfection. The flavors were bold and authentic, making every bite a delight. The service was friendly and attentive, making sure we always had what we needed without being intrusive. We ended the meal with their coffee, which rounded off a perfect evening. It was a memorable night, and I’d highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Lebanese cuisine with a group of friends or family ~ Aynour

L expérience est excellente. Le personnel est aimable, courtois et efficace. On sent que les équipes sont motivées et travaillent très bien ensemble. Nous avons pris en entrée le moutabal, arayess et batata … excellent! Ma compagne a ensuite pris du loup, la cuisson était parfaite ! Pour ma part j ai la kefta d agneau tout aussi bonne. ~ Xavier M

Ein absolutes Genusserlebnis. Das Ambiente ist sehr hochwertig und man fühlt sich sofort wie in 1001 Nacht. Das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend einem alle wünsche zu erfüllen. Das Essen ist einfach ein Genuss und ein Erlebnis für sich. Alles in allem eine absolute Empfehlung. ~ Nelson C

Buenísima elección. Hemos pedido unas brochetas de pollo, una especie de empanadillas de carne y otras de queso, y una musaka. Estaba todo buenísimo. Camareros muy amables. Comida servida rápidamente. Lugar limpio. Buena iluminación; ni muy mucho ni muy poco. Música agradable, bajita de fondo a buen volumen. ~ Miriam R

Hier muss man gegessen haben! Ein wunderbarer Ort mit herrlichen Speisen und einem Top-Service! Wir haben uns vom sehr freundlichen und sympathischen Inhaber beraten lassen und haben so viele verschiedene "Tapas" probiert. Erstklassig und vor allem auch für Veganer (unsere Tochter) sehr empfehlenswert! Ein Riesenkompliment! ~ Peña V

Ein tolles Restaurant mit köstlichen und traditionellen Speisen. Wir hatten das Menü B, welches hervorragende Vorspeisen sowie einen leckeren Hauptgang bereithielt. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und auch sehr satt. Der Preis ist in der Tat etwas hoch mit 26€ pro Person, aber die Qualität stimmt auf jeden Fall. ~ Dr. J

Excellent restaurant libanais, ouvert le midi et le soir à St Julian. Service du midi jusqu'à 15h. Une grande salle climatisée et un petite terrasse très sympa.Personnel très aimable et les plats sont très très bons. Le menu découverte pour 2 est parfait pour un tour des saveurs libanaises. ~ Valerie C

El lugar me pareció muy lindo y familiar, la comida súper deliciosa y fresca, era la primera vez probando esta comida así que buscamos con antelación que restaurantes libaneses en Malta estaban con excelente calificación y si fue un acierto todo. The place seemed very nice and welcoming, the food was super delicious and fresh. It was my first time trying this cuisine, so we researched beforehand which Lebanese restaurants in Malta had excellent ratings, and it was a great choice. ~ María A

We stumbled across this lovely quaint well presented restaurant just down from our hotel and booked a table after reading the exceptional reviews about it, it was a delight the staff and owner were very attentive and saw to all our needs and questions, food has lots of flavour and textures if you like Lebanese food, and I would recommend that you have dishes on the table to share as it makes for a better experience, overall I was very impressed and satisfied with every aspect of the restaurant, would highly recommend it, it won’t disappoint and would definitely return. ~ Andrew O

We had a lovely dinner at Leyla Restaurant — the ambiance was relaxed and stylish, perfect for a warm evening. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the whole experience felt effortless and smooth. We weren’t too hungry, so we tried a few lighter dishes — and you must try their lentil soup! It was rich, comforting, full of flavor, and honestly one of the best we’ve ever had. Simple, but done to perfection. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented, and well-balanced. A great place for a laid-back evening with delicious food. We’ll definitely be back! ~ Andrea Ž

Bella location con atmosfera e personale gentile e accogliente. Cibo ottimo, consigliamo di chiedere suggerimenti al personale su cosa ordinare, noi abbiamo preso il menu A da condividere ed era veramente buonissimo. Consigliamo assolutamente se amanti del cibo etnico! ~ Federica S

Piatti squisiti, tanti sapori nuovi e da scoprire. Personale molto bravo, gentile, accogliente e attento. Mi sono innamorata di questa cucina grazie a Leyla Restaurant, che offre tanti piatti tradizionali con moltissime opzioni vegane e vegetariane. Lo consiglio vivamente!! ~ Francesca D

Das noch junge Restaurant ist ein Geheimtipp für Malta Urlauber. Das Personal rund um Mr. M. ist unglaublich freundlich und bemüht, die Speisen himmlisch und die Aussicht über die Bucht ein Traum! Wir hatten einen traumhaften Abend in unserem ersten gemeinsamen Urlaub. Danke! ~ Thomas K
