The Layla's that I go to is located in a small strip mall on Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield. The place is very small with only enough seating for about 15. You don't go there for the ambiance. You go there for the Shwarma.
Layla's has all the great middle eastern treats. Falafel, Baba Ghanoush, Tabbouleh and of course, Shwarma. For those of you who don't know Shwarma, basically either marinated Chicken or Lamb is set on a long skewer and place vertically infront of two heating elements that char the outside of the meat as it is rotating. Using a long knife, you cut down the charred meat and it is added to a piece of flat bread. There, lettuce, pickles and a garlic spread that my sister says you can eat like soup is all rolled up into rolled up sandwich.
I do have to admit that I got their Hummus and it really wasn't that great. Many of their items have a great amount of garlic. The Hummus lacked the rich flavor that I love in a good Hummus. It needed more garlic, salt and maybe some more olive oil. But please don't let this stop you from going there for the many other items.
If you need your middle eastern fix, this is the place. And there is not just this place. They have 2 locations in Stamford as well as Fairfield.
