Eastern Delights
This is the section that makes Layali a Levantine cafe rather than a dessert bar. Warbat at $11.99 for three — layered pastry with pistachio, walnut or cream. Lady Fingers at $4.99 for three. Lady Bracelet at $6.99. Halwet Jibn at $8.99, the sweet cheese roll that most people have only had in Beirut or Damascus.
If you grew up with these you will know immediately whether a place makes them properly. If you did not, order the warbat with pistachio and a Turkish coffee, and start there.
