A new downtown Persian restaurant, which quietly opened its doors in September, is extending its business hours to accommodate weekday lunch service, according to Isthmus.
Laila Borokhim originally opened Layla’s, which provides local access to “Persian food with local flair,” in the sidewalk-accessible space below Madison Hostel, located at 141 S. Butler St., on Sept. 5 and operated from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.
However, Isthmus reports Layla’s will now be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday instead, and will remain open during dinner hours if hopeful patrons reserve a table ahead of time.
Tucked away, Layla’s can only serve 15 customers at once, but the entirely gluten-free menu boasts many flavorful Persian stew, rice and kabob entrees–all $8– made with organic, grass-fed meats, according to Isthmus. Borokhim also offers several vegetarian and vegan options, and incorporates farmer’s market produce into her dishes.
