    Took my nephew out to lunch today, craving Indian food, so we figured we’d give Layla’s Kitchen a try. We were not disappointed in the least! Upon walking in we were greeted by super friendly staff, seated in a super comfortable and sizable booth. The menu has a lot to offer, but decided to go with a few of our favorite dishes; ordering Chicken Tikka Masala and Goat Biryani, along with Plain and Garlic Basil Naan. We started out with the Mix Platter appetizer (a combination of both Veg and Chicken Samosa, as well as Veg and Chicken Pakora). The Mix Platter was outstanding, a perfect appetizer for a first time visit, and if this was any indication of what was to come we may have found our new Indian Go-To. About 15 min after the appetizer the main dishes came out, smelling absolutely amazing! The presentation of the food was top notch, the flavors fresh, and portions were huge. This was the first time we actually needed a To Go box for Indian. I can easily say that we’ll be going back to Layla’s Kitchen anytime we’re getting Indian Cuisine. Highly recommend!!!! Thanks for the amazing food and for being kind.

    All the food we ordered tasted good, with the exception of tandoori chicken. My friend said the chicken was not spicy enough for a 3 spice level. Everything else tasted great. My only problem with the food was that they were out of paneer, so none of the paneer dishes were available.

    So so good! Ordered takeout and everything was incredible. I didn’t even realize there was a lunch buffet! I will definitely be back for that. Naan was a great size and chewy. Thank you!

    Amazing food, everything we tried had great flavor. Definitely recommend the chicken jalfrezi. Everything tasted fresh and portions are decent to still share. Wish the level 10 spicy was hotter, but that’s personal preference

    Tonight, we visited Layla's Kitchen Indian Restaurant, 6152 Cleveland Ave, Columbus, OH 43231. I was thinking it was a buffet (which I definitely don't need), but that's Thursday-Saturday, 11-3. Anytime you walk into an Indian restaurant and they're having a big party...and you're the only non-Indian people in there, you know this place is good and authentic! The whole restaurant was packed with party-goers!. We we're shuttled into a side area where there were a few booths, and we ordered off the menu from there. Indian cuisine leans a bit spicy...I kept it to a "3" on the intensity scale, and that was spicy enough for me. Back in the day, I may have gone to "7".   Layla's has been at this location for over five years. We met the owner, Suvasha, and his wife, who was also our server. She brought out Masala Tea (food descriptions below) and that was tasty...and full of ummm textures. Our server brought out bottled water - that's a first, so we didn't order any other beverages. Our appetizer was Chicken Samosa. My entrée was Chicken Tikka Tandoori with white rice. This came out on a hot plate that sizzled for an additional two minutes with steam rolling off of it. We also had Garlic Naan. Everything was excellent and full of Indian flavors! For dessert, I had Kheer (rice pudding on the menu) and it was delicious with lots of different flavors and textures! The Indian party music was great....the place was a hoppin'! Don't expect that on a typical Saturday night. I did thank the party people for providing the music.     I believe it was a baby gender reveal party, based on all the sights and sounds. I hope to get back to Layla's in the future and check out their buffet. If you're into Indian cuisine, this place is definitely worth a visit! ITEM DESCRIPTIONS Masala Tea, also known as Masala Chai, which literally translates to "spiced tea," is a popular and aromatic beverage originating from South Asia, particularly India. It's made by brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic spices and typically includes milk and a sweetener. Chicken Samosa is a popular and savory fried pastry filled with a spiced mixture of ground chicken, onions, and various aromatic spices. It's a common snack and appetizer in South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Naan is a type of leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines of West, Central, and South Asia. It's particularly popular in Indian, Pakistani, Afghan, and Iranian cuisine. Chicken Tikka Tandoori refers to two closely related but distinct aspects of Indian cuisine: Chicken Tikka: These are small, boneless pieces (tikkas) of chicken that have been marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices. The marinade typically includes ingredients like ginger, garlic, chili powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and lemon juice. The marination process tenderizes the chicken and infuses it with flavor. Tandoori: This refers to a style of cooking using a tandoor, which is a cylindrical clay oven heated by charcoal or wood fire. The high heat of the tandoor allows for quick and even cooking, imparting a unique smoky flavor and slightly charred exterior to the food while keeping the inside moist. Therefore, Chicken Tikka Tandoori generally means boneless pieces of chicken (tikka) that have been marinated in tandoori-style spices and then cooked in a tandoor oven. Kheer is the traditional Indian rice pudding. It's a creamy dessert made by boiling rice with milk and sugar, and it's often flavored with cardamom, saffron, and nuts like almonds, cashews, and pistachios.

    I really wanted indian one night and we stumbled upon this place. We had a great experience and had the best naan I've ever had. All of the food was delicious we got a samosa chaat, mixed platter, tandoori chicken, Tikka masala, and more. The spice level was perfect and everything was great.
