Finding us

Layali Cafe is at 259 Front St, Lincoln, RI 02865, with parking on site. It is a few minutes from Route 146, about fifteen from Providence, and close enough to Pawtucket, Cumberland, Central Falls, Smithfield and Woonsocket to be an easy evening out. The phone is (401) 615-6040; call for tonight's board, to ask about an ingredient, or to arrange a tray for a gathering.

Hours

Open from noon until midnight on Sunday and Tuesday to Thursday, and from noon until 1 AM on Friday and Saturday. Closed Mondays. The late hours are the point: this is where to go after the kitchens have closed and the only other thing open is a bar.

Getting here

From Providence, Route 146 north to the Lincoln exits and a few minutes to Front Street; fifteen minutes door to door in the evening. From Pawtucket and Central Falls it is a shorter local drive. From Cumberland and Smithfield, Front Street is on the way to most things already. Directions from wherever you are start from the map link below, and there is parking on site, so nothing to feed and nothing to circle for.

At the door

Order at the counter, or take a table and order from it. The hookah lounge is at the tables; the rest of the room is for coffee, dessert and families, and there is no bar anywhere in it. Everything on the menu is halal and nothing contains alcohol. Tell us at the counter about any allergy before you order.

Ahead of time

If you would rather not queue on a busy evening, build an order on the menu page and pay when you collect. For six or more, or a Friday or Saturday table, use the booking page. For platters and dessert tables, the catering page.
