Layla's Mediterranean Grill and Mezze

Since opening Layla’s Mediterranean Grill and Mezze in August 2010, Raouf and Leila Tadros' delicious Lebanese food and warm, modern atmosphere are drawing crowds. The restaurant replaces their earlier restaurant, Confetti’s, so diners might recognize some of the dishes, but the new restaurant has had an exotic upgrade: A unique feel has been added to the restaurant by a New York designer; guests will savor a Middle Eastern dining experience with mezze -- small plates meant to be shared. Layla’s is known for its Moroccan lamb shank -- complete with Mediterranean olives, dried apricots and exotic spices. Another favorite is the moussaka, with layered slices of eggplant, ground beef, pine nuts and spices baked in a light tomato sauce and served over rice. As if the stylish décor weren't intriguing enough.
