Layali Dubai - Queens

This restaurant is a rip-off. The menu prices may seem okay, but we were surprised by an overpriced check. The staff, particularly the older gentleman at the entrance, were not very friendly. I would not recommend this place at all.

The restaurant charges $50 for the music show or belly dance, which includes appetizers. However, drinks and hookah are not included in the price. This is quite expensive for what you receive. The show does not start until 11-11:30pm. The atmosphere of the hookah lounge has potential for improvement.

While I, as a non-Arabic individual, found the environment to be average, I believe that Arabic people would enjoy this restaurant. The food was rated 6.5 out of 10.

This place, big time scammers, I was at this place eight years ago and now back earlier this year and they still do the same Misleading tactics, They literally FRAUD their customers. Was there with few friends, we were first told it will cost $250 fornew year eve per person then when we were about to leave they said they?ll bring it down to $200, then they said $175 if we paycash (not sure if the workers are stealing from the owners as well or they?re just trying to avoid taxes) the guy at the doorwho seemed like the supervisor said EVERYTHING will be included we SPECIFICALLY asked if the hookah will be included, he saidyes EVERYTHING, hookah, full coarse meal, drinks etc. so we paid upfront to enter, at the end of the night, they brought us abill for hookah, drinks, desserts, we explained what we were told and the waitress called another guy who was at the door andthey pretended they didn?t know what we were talking about, the guy who we paid and told us everything is included was nowhereto be found. They said he left for the night and they?re sure he would not have said everything is included. They literally didthis same thing eight years ago when I was in town and went in for a live singer with my friends. We thought we might?vemisunderstood, then a groups of guys who came a bit after us and were sitting next to us were also given a bill and they saidthey were also told everything is included by the the same guy who was at the door when we entered/paid that?s now nowhere to befound. The workers claimed: only a main coarse dish was included (was totally plain food not even worth it) and that?s it, alongwith the live singer for $200 and we should be thankful since they gave us a discounted price. Not to mention the singer whothey had, literally didn?t have songs memorized and would sing couple or few lines of a song and switch to another song.TERRIBLE experience WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place and WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN. Many better middle eastern pl

I came before to this restaurant 4 times, every time I was happy, but this time it was very bad. Dinner came at 01:30 am, while I arrived at 11 pm, also, there is no service all that time. I was very upset. Before dinner, I decided to leave, but theyconvince me to stay to eat burnet meet on a plastic dish.
