Clients reviews about Leyla Restaurant

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

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

"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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Excellent restaurant au cœur du quartier animé de Paceville. Nous avons passé une formidable soirée, le personnel est aux petits soins et fort agréable ! Nous avons pris un assortiment de 7 « tapas » à partager, c’est un sans faute ! Délicieux, nous recommandons fortement !! ~ Marie-Mathilde D

We have eaten Lebanese food all over the world and this restaurant rates as one of the best we have been to. The food was delicious and plentiful. In fact we couldn’t finish what we had ordered! I had the lentil soup - so full of flavour and the moutabel which was creamy but light. The chicken taouk was a very generous portion full of flavour. The waiting staff and the kitchen staff were all so friendly . I fell in love with chefs smile and twinkle in his eye. We are on holiday but will be back before we leave. Thanks for a tasty evening ~ Ruth S

Had a fantastic lunch here today and the service was excellent and very friendly. We haven't rated the atmosphere only because we were the only diners in there, no reflection on the restaurant at all, but it was a cloudy, wet day! We had the Houmous with Lebanese Sausage, Stuffed Vine Leaves and Batata Harra (crispy potatoes with spices & paprika). Plenty for 2 to share as a lunch. We are going back for dinner in a couple of days as it was so good. Plenty of choice too for gluten free and very accommodating. ~ Mark D

Wybraliśmy plater z głównym daniem (cel spróbowanie co oferują). Świetne ciepłe i zimne przystawki. Bardzo smaczna i dobrze przygotowana wołowina. Smaczne wino. Bardzo miła i komunikatywna obsługa. W kuchni przebiera rękami libański chef. ~ Rafał P

Eccezionale ! Ristorante libanese in zona saint Julien, carino con la vista sul porticciolo. Personale molto gentile, disponibile e simpatico. Qualità dei piatti davvero ottima. Consiglio vivamente di venire a mangiare qui. Super buono tutto, anche i vini. ~ Enea S

A true culinary journey! This Lebanese restaurant in Malta is an absolute gem. The dishes are flavorful, prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic tastes. The hummus was perfectly creamy and flavorful, paired beautifully with crispy fried vegetables, fresh warm bread, and some of the best falafel I’ve ever had. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere very welcoming. A must-visit for lovers of Lebanese cuisine. Hummus, falafel, fries vegetables, rice as accompaniment and bread ~ Barnabé B

Leyla Restaurant in Malta is a fantastic Lebanese gem! 🇱🇧 They proudly serve halal food, making it an excellent choice. The menu offers a variety of great options, and the chef's hospitality added a special touch to the dining experience. The tabouleh salad was a burst of flavors, and the Shish Taouk was absolutely delightful. The overall dinner was fantastic, enjoyed in a great restaurant with a prime location and a beautiful setting. Highly recommended for a memorable Lebanese dining experience! 🥗🍢👌 ~ Mahdiyar N

Locale nuovo nel centro di Sant Julian’s. Ha una bellissima veranda sul porto ma quando siamo arrivati noi era tutto pieno,devo dire che comunque gli interni sono molto belli e caratteristici,addirittura la musica libanese in sottofondo. Staff preparato,gentile e con il sorriso pronto ad aiutarti in qualsiasi cosa,dalla scelta dei piatti al conto. Abbiamo mangiato benissimo, l’hummus era spettacolare così come tutto il resto. Conto onesto per ciò che abbiamo mangiato! Sicuramente ci riandrei volentieri ~ Lisa
