Vibrant Turkish spot on the UWS delivering flavorful mezze and pide with generally warm service, popular happy hour, and cozy ambiance; occasional service hiccups and reservation issues noted.
Our take
Leyla delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by standout mezze, pides, and branzino, paired with attentive service that guides diners through Turkish traditions. The beautiful rustic setting with garden seating enhances the experience, though occasional consistency variation and operational friction during peak times prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory.
One caveat: Occasional long waits despite reservations during peak hours
