I had a great experience at Lyalena Grill thanks to Serin! She greeted me with a warm, genuine smile and immediately made me feel welcome. Even though I was just getting a takeaway, she took the time to ask how I was doing and made thoughtful recommendations, including the most popular juices. Her positive energy and kindness really stood out. A lovely lady with a big smile who truly goes above and beyond—thank you, Serin!

Amazing food and service. The lady (waitress)serving us was so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended

My friend and I visited the restaurant and the food and service was outstanding! Haja, was very professional and friendly with us offering recommendations. The pina colada was one of the best mocktails I’ve ever tried and would recommend this this!

Excellent venue. Incredible service, very attentive. The food was gorgeous and the shisha lasted all night, with the staff regularly changing the coals. Perfect experience, would recommend

outstanding minds blowing and very delicious chicken with rice

Lovely Place. Big portion of food. Service is exceptional. Miss Haja serve the best Flamingo. Overall Good Experience

Visited last night with my friend and my baby son. The waitresses were very friendly and attentive. They brought the food out lovely and hot and also very fresh. Excellent service and we will be back soon. Thank you

Nice food good service went with family with kids we all really enjoyed

A warm welcome, staff very attentive. Food was delicious, full of flavour and plentyful. Will definitely return!

We finally got to try out this new place 🤍 The food was very nice. We loved the Lamb Kouzi - the aromatic lamb shank was tender and moist falling off the bone - paired with fluffy flavoured rice with fried onions the textures went beautifully together and the taste was spot on. They gave us a generous portion of gherkins which are our absolute fave! We also ordered the mixed platter for our children - the children and us adults enjoyed every single meat - the chicken cutlets the meat cutlets the wings and chops were all cooked to perfection with charcoal aroma the girls really enjoyed the turkish rice - all in all the quality of all the food was above average ! The vibe was immaculate and the service was excellent - we were blessed with beautiful Hajra who waited on us and she provided the best service - we will be going back soon

Great food and service! Haja was brilliant! Very friendly and professional!

Very disappointed with the recent changes. The rice portion was far too small for a whole baby chicken, it used to be much more generous. On top of that, we ordered two full portions but only received one salad, whereas we used to get a salad for each. It’s clear the quality and value have dropped, and it feels like corners are being cut. This place used to be a favourite, but it's no longer the same experience.

Food quantity not worth for money....

Lovely, tasty food and fantastic service by Haja. Would definitely recommend and will be back

Great food, great service. Highly recommended and will visit again, definitely.

Very beautiful restaurant, friendly helpful staff. The food was good

The deliveries to home often have missing items specially the sauces and incorrect number of pieces. They do not resolve the issue of missing items

“I had an incredible experience at Laylina Restaurant thanks to the outstanding customer service from Hajer. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Her professionalism and kindness elevated the entire dining experience. Highly recommended!”

Really good atmosphere and the BEST food. Hajar is the best employee as she is so friendly and accommodating. The only food in cardiff I would rate 10/10

Hajar had amazing service and catered to us really well. Food was so yummy too! All fresh and amazing tea as well. Very wide range of menu too. Would 100% recommend to anybody :)

It was lovely place we greeting times Nasriin

We had great time people friendly nice time

Excellent place …. Friendly staff …. fast service ….. delicious food . Thanks Hajer for looking after us .

Excellent shisha; good selections on menu; good food. The physical presence of the owners in the place on a daily basis ensures that quality is maintained and management is top-down.

Honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! The food is incredible and the service is even better. Came here for lunch and Haja was incredible. Service with a smile and very attentive

Great service and perfect for lunchtime.

Arrived on time, food was warm Very tasty 😋

Such a lovely time. Very prompt and clean. Food is wholesome and delicious and so are the drinks. The service was top notch by our waitress Hajar, she was very warm and welcoming, and made the experience unforgettable even with my kids. We came from Swansea and it was fantastic will definitely come again. We had the lamb kousi and flamingo drinks and mango fresh juice, all were amazing.

The food was very tasty. Good service with friendly staff. They have a nice restaurant area and also shisha area showing live sports to chill and enjoy.

10/10 definitely recommend and will visit again. Stuff services is another level 👍

Lovely food definitely recommend and will be back 👍🏻

Hajar is absolutely amazing... she cheered my friend up.. just being her.....amazing service.

Alhamdulillah, food, service and everything is very good.. Go ahead..

I ordered the baby whole grilled chicken and it was amazing. Juicy and tender. I thought the rice will taste quite plain but it tasted amazing. Salad, chilli dip and garlic sauce come with it. It was enough for 2 people. Not to mention I also ordered lamb kozi (lamb shank) before and was beautiful. Definitely recommend this place. Also not expensive at all.

I was initially sceptical as the hygiene rating was low, however the menu looks great, a clean and well planned dining area, a member of staff was eating so that was reassuring. Like the way they present the cutlery. Take a look at the drinks as I had a watermelon juice which was exceptional. Food was amazing and I really enjoyed it. The price was fair and great service too. Don't miss out

Food is amazing. The staff are very friendly too. Really recommend to come here

Brilliant service. Very friendly staff and delicious food.

Amazing food 🙌🏻 must try if you love mandis

Great food and good atmosphere here . With budget friendly food .

I didn’t and still haven’t received my food. So I can’t comment on it. I need a refund please.

Twice now I’ve ordered from here, first time my order was someone else’s and now this time order haven’t turned. Don’t bother ordering for delivery

Horrible people very rude. Member of staff lied and stole from us too. Then tried to blame just eat. Disgusting service. Wouldn’t recommend

Great food and shisha atmosphere!

I had a truly horrible experience with the restaurant—it was disappointing on every level.The staff at the restaurant were incredibly rude and unprofessional—I've never been treated so poorly in my life. It felt like the employees were going out of their way to be unhelpful and dismissive.The attitude of the staff ruined the entire meal—their behavior was unacceptable.If you're looking for a warm, friendly dining experience, avoid this place—the staff clearly don’t care about customers.After such a terrible experience with the rude and careless staff, I strongly advise against placing an Uber Eats order from them—you’ll likely regret it.

The food and drinks here are really good. I've been to almost all the shisha shops in Cardiff but the food and drinks here are really good. The service is great, the staff are smiling and friendly. ESPECIALLY PREYA⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great customer service, Quality food and amazing portions.

I’m quite disappointed with the service today. I ordered a waffle and lamb dish with a scheduled pick-up time of 10:50. When I arrived, only the lamb was ready, and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes. Once home, I found the ice cream was missing. This isn’t the first time this has happened, and it’s becoming frustrating.

Great food, authentic taste, highly recommend

We went here yesterday for our friendversary. Lovely food. However, the staff treat you like filth. If it wasn't too late already we would have left. We were on the front lounge (other shisha place). There were 3 lady staff and none of them were hospitable. Completely ignored and looked down on our table. Passing filthy looks and comments between the staff. A few time 1 lady walked by our table and made faces to another hostess and they burst into laughter. Despite all this me and my friends thanked them everytime they brought food over to our table to which none of then said anything and just glared back. Also, the floors were dirty with rice and lemon pieced on the floor. Since it was a Tuesday night we were the only 3 people in the restaurant until 9pm yet no cleaning were done. Disgusting is all I have to say.

it's late and also the taste of the food was not good

OUTSTANDING!!!!! This is one of the best takeaways in Cardiff, all the food is fresh and wholesome. very tasty, properly served, large portions, fair price. It is a pleasure buying here. I've nothing but praise absolutely EXCELLENT thank you again ***********

Amazing service from haja! Very quick service too. Would recommend.

Went for Eid celebration with my family, amazing services, great food & family friendly. Anniversary next stop.

Food came fast and was really yummy. Our server was haja and she did a great job serving us :)

Excellent service from Hajar very professional and friendly would definitely recommend for families!

Amazing food and thanks to haja

Amazing restaurant and wonderful staffs

Burger is good, chicken is fresh and cooked properly but they should add more sauce to it, as there are two chicken pieces it makes the burger VERY DRY. I even asked for the side sauce as it is not on the page but NO SAUCE.

words fail me ..... This meal was outstanding! I have never had such tasty, fresh lovely food, the whole meal was of a very high standard. it was so so nice. This is the first time I've bought from this takeaway, it certainly won't be the last. FANTASTIC MEAL thank you**********

You might not want to eat here—because once you do, you’ll be addicted !😉 Every dish is absolutely delicious, especially the Al Faham (baby chicken). The quantity, quality, and price make it an unbeatable experience!

the food was amazing really didn't think it was going to be that good highly recommend 👌

The food was a bit cold because the top bended inwards . However the food was good

Good delivery on time thank you somuch

Amazing service and good prices

As someone who has had shisha and food here, I can say it's really good. I mostly come when football is on, atmosphere is awesome! Lunch time chill sessions to do some laptop work, ambient music, good shisha. Drinks overpriced is the only down point but not enough to not give 5 star.

Amazing food, I will definitely be coming back again, your chicken wings are awesome, thank you x

Authentic Syrian food, open till early morning, everything you need 🇸🇾👌🏾

Food was lush and the shisha was decent. Would definitely go back with the boys again
