What User doesn't like about Leyalina:
Went here for shish and coffees. Everything seemed nice, lovely decor and feel. We waited a good half hour at least and finally asked a waitress how long our order would be. She she said she'd check, left, then came back in the room to give someone their meal and didn't acknowledge us at all. We waited a little longer then just decided to leave as it was getting late.

I found this restaurant on trip advisor when I searched for ‘Egyptian food’. It may be Middle Eastern but I’m pretty sure it’s not Egyptian specifically. The fo...

Honestly best tabouli I have had in my life. With all the choices on Lygon St, ate there 2 nights of our 3 in Melbourne.

They do not honor Open Table bookings, so do not waste your time booking through them as they do not check it at all.
