Laili Restaurant - Santa Cruz (CA)

5 /5 Norman Virut Graw: One of the best trout and Sea bass dishes we ever had. Great presentation and the ambience in the backyard is so tantalizing. Will definitely have to come back.

5 /5 Dalia Obeid: This place! We argued on whether the Beef Koubideh Kebab was one of or THE best kebabs we’ve ever had! The filet mignon was so juicy, soft and I loved how the marination is kept to a minimum and depending on the amazing quality of meat and cooking. The plates overall were delicious, well presented and the side sauces: apricot chutney, mint and garlicky yoghurt are a perfect combination with the food. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Lovely ambience.

5 /5 Vicky Cassidy: This is our second time here and it’s fantastic! We had the butternut bolani for an appetizer. The butternut is very delicious and is nicely seasoned. A hint of heat but not too much. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. The outdoor patio is so lovely, too. I could sit there all afternoon and sip wine. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Jake Byman: We had a lovely meal at Laili – the food was quite good, but the service was excellent, and very friendly. The lamb was good, as were the dumplings. While it may not be mindblowingly amazing, it was a very pleasant meal experience and I see why this place is so well-renowned!
