El Layali Lebanese Cuisine — Restaurant in El Paso

This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star! Place was empty on a Wednesday evening. They were out of Spinach Fatayer, Beef Shawerma and Chicken!!!!!! What the hell kinda restaurant is this?! The hummus was a paste that coulda held up drywall. The waitress had the excuse that they sold out of everything.....WHAT?! You’re a restaurant with over an hour and a half until closing and you ran out?!?! This is a pathetically owned and ran establishment. We weren’t even warned by the waitress before we ordered. She waited until we did and then came back to tell us. It’s not like she was super busy serving tables that she wouldn’t know what they did or didn’t have since we were the only table. That shoulda been our sign. Go somewhere else and don’t even waste your time. Lucky they even had water with ice. We walked out. They’ll be closed in less...

There is limited parking right in front of the main door but if you look to the right of the restaurant there is an entrance to the rear parking. We are definitely coming back. Oh! It’s...

I had a lemonade with mint for a drink. It was very light and watered down. You can hardly taste the lemonade or the mint. The kebab was not flavorful. The rice was bit salty. Salad looked like something you get from Walmart n throw some olive oil on it. The kebbeh was the worse. It was microwaved and definitely old and not from the same day. The crust was soft and it had that frozen flavor in it. I couldn't eat it. Stuffed zucchini is definitely not from today and tasted microwaved. Why pay 60 dollars for not fresh food ? There is a reason why the restaurant is empty. Anyone who says the food was great definitely never had real arabic food before or been to Dallas or California n had some Arabic food. Don't take opinion on arabic food from non...
