The food is overpriced for no reason! The first time I visited this place the chicken shish taok qty was decent enough to fill up my stomach! Priced at 36 plus tax I asked the waitress for what else I can order as I was very hungry and we were two people- she asked me to order the most expensive item on the menu that was the fish with no Mediterranean flavor and not even enough potion quantity to fill anyone up. The fish is priced at 43 dollars and if you calculate taxes in it its 50 dollars. I spent over 100 dollars at this place feeling super hungry I will never ever go again. Save yourself the horror. The worst part is the waiter stands on your head to pay the tip Horrible

We had a wonderful experience at Hayat. The place is beautiful and very classy, the food was excellent, and the service truly stood out. Hajar took great care of us, she was friendly, professional, and made our visit even more enjoyable.

Had a lovely time at Hayat last Saturday evening. I was showing a prospective student around the city and chose this restaurant as our final spot to end our tour. We were sat at the bar where the very engaging Otis took great care of us. We ordered dips as starters, which we shared, and honestly I had to cancel my main dish because there was more than enough food to fill us both up. We chose the baba ghanoush and the shawarma and hummus, which was served with two types of fresh bread, and the portions were plentiful. Our cocktails were also delicious. We both stated we would love to come back and try the mains, but we would need to work up a bigger appetite! The design of the restaurant is lovely and the atmosphere was good. The only hiccup was that when I made our reservation, we only had the bar as an option, however when we arrived the restaurant was almost empty and it did not fill up by the time we left 2.5 hours later. Although our corner seats at the bar were cozy, we would have appreciated the option of booking a table.

My partner and I dined at Hayat to celebrate valentine's day, and within a few hours, we were both very ill. For an appetizer, 2 small plates, 2 glasses of wine each, and dessert, it costed us upwards of $300. The server was kind but terribly inefficient, he took an awkwardly long time (like several minutes standing there struggling) to be able to open the wine bottle he brought to the table to fill our glasses, and spilled wine everywhere and made zero effort to clean it up. We were done eating and waiting to pay for over 20 minutes and even got his attention and it still took another 10 minutes to even be brought the bill. While the service was severely lacking, the biggest issue is that the food made us sick. For the price of this place, I expect to be able to trust the safety of the food. Beware.

The experience was amazing at Hayat. Our server Maxim was a great host, went above and beyond to insure a great service for us. The food was fantastic and every dish from starters to main were delicious and tasted like home. Would recommend to everyone and anyone I know, you should definitely book your important dates and anniversaries and everything in between at Hayat!
