"I'm a regular here, and after being closed for updates, the renovation was absolutely worth the wait! The place looks brand new and stunning—everything from the decor to the vibe feels elevated. The hookah is always smooth, the food is delicious, and the service is consistently great. Definitely my favorite lounge! We are a family here!!"

"Such a pleasant place to enjoy hookah, some of the best hummus I've had in a long time. Service was quick, staff was accommodating and nice. Heads up there's no alcohol offered here. However there's board and card games. Oh and best of all they don't rush you out!"

"Layaly Cafe is the best restaurant for private events. We celebrated my daughter’s baby shower there. The staff were amazing! they went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us. The food was beyond delicious. It was truly a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming."

"We had an off-menu Egyptian Eid lunch!! SUCH delicious Fattah and a ton of appetizers. Great service and awesome spot. Highly recommend!"

"Love coming here! Have been costumers for a while and the atmosphere is unmatched. Ahmed and all of the staff are amazing! Best hookah in nyc!"
