Highly recommend Leyla's! Great neighborhood gem. Excellent Mediterranean food worth the price. The ambiance they've created on their outdoor patio (fountain, plants, herbs, flowers) enhanced our experience. We started with the cold appetizer platter for 2 (tzakiki, baba ganoush, hummus, stuffed grape leaves and ??) for which we requested warm pita bread. After much debate, I finally chose the baked stuffed eggplant - yummy. My BF chose the chicken kebab and it was the best he's ever had. We were too full for dessert and coffee - next time!
This place is an absolute gem in Anderson! Amazing, authentic food, reasonably priced, and I’ve never had anything short of outstanding service. Leyla’s is such a great little spot, and I wouldn’t recommend anything nearby over this place. The appetizer platter is great, the chicken kebab is seriously one of the juiciest pieces of chicken I’ve ever tasted, and the lamb was amazing. I’ve been here three times and each time better than the last. Highly recommend!
If you want fresh, authentic Mediterranean/Middle East food, this is your place. You wouldn't expect such a great experience in a strip mall, but the Kurdish owners have managed to make the space inviting with authentic decor and beautiful roses that greet you at the front door. The outdoor patio is quaint with grape vines hovering overhead, not only for shade, but for fresh grapes, of course. The generous owner and executive chef is seen here by his cherry tomato plants. They've made careful use of every inch and the vibrancy of the food can't be matched here. I feel lucky to have such a great local restaurant.
We sat down outside by the fountain. There are real grapes hanging from the grapevines above you! The food was all fresh especially the veggies. There's nothing like fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and mint!
Leyla is wonderful. Perfect date night spot. The outdoor patio covered in vines and grapes is charming and romantic.
The bread with dip is very flavorful and along with the cold appetizer for 2 can be a meal in itself.
I recommend the borek for an additional appetizer!
The baklava…. Is divine. Served with hot tea it further sets a charming vibe and is packed with flavor. Enough for 2, especially after eating other food.
Absolutely amazing food! We went as a family and started with an array of dips, warm pita and bread. It was fantastic. We then moved on to the most delicious shared meat platter and baked eggplant. I could eat the baked eggplant every day! The meats were flavorful and plentiful. We ended with trying each of the desserts. The pudding was a great mix of almond, cinnamon and vanilla. The baklava was warm and dripping in honey. A true treat. Do not skip this gem!
I love this location. They do have the most delicious Mediterranean dishes. the atmosphere is very cozy and the team is outstanding. I have been to many Mediterranean restaurants in DC, New York, Chicago but Leyla is the best. Make sure to order their appetizers it is very delicious and freshly made. We also had a kebab platter, my husband and I enjoyed it very much. Also, they have Kurdish coffee yummy! Will come back!
They have good customer service. The restaurant also has vibrant colors and a nice atmosphere. The food was also good, I loved the bread.
OMG great authentic food... we ordered the cold appetizers for 4... it was almost a meal in itself... wondrous flavors!
Fair prices, good attention from the waiter, and we weren't in a hurry and they didn't try to push us out the door... just let us enjoy our Christmas meals and relax in a nice atmosphere.
This restaurant is a hidden gem in Anderson township. The food is authentic, delicious, and made with a passion for cooking, flavor, and quality. The staff is always so friendly and kind. They work hard, and it shows.
If you haven't been to LEYLA Mediterranean yet, get there! Oh my gosh! My taste buds are still tingling from going here the other night!

We ordered the "cold appetizers for 2" and the "mixed grill for 1". They serve warm fresh bread beforehand that's so good! And it was more than enough for both of us (probably coulda shared with 3 people).
.
All of it was around $45 (not including tip). The meats were so flavorful and you can eat them without adding any extra seasoning or sauce. And those dips... 😋 gahhh u can taste the freshness in every bite.
.
Make 👏 it 👏 a 👏 stop👏
.
Locally owned and operated by really sweet folks. They have a small team running it, but the service was super friendly and quick!
.
Beautiful outdoor seating with lots and lots of flowers, plants, herbs, and veggies growing plus ample indoor seating.
.
And get the Turkish tea and kunefe (dessert) too! ((Chefs kiss))
My partner and I recently dined in, and I can say this is by far my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant! Everything- appetizer, entree, desert, service, and hospitality- was top notch. Flavorful, authentic, and balanced with proper portions. I will definitely be back and will be spreading the word.
