Finally found a chill hookah spot in NY that's fairly priced, has a nice ambiance, with chill people and friendly staff, and with GOOD food!

Excellent service and arguileh/hookah. The staff were very friendly and prompt with our orders. The hookah is very reasonably priced! As are the food and drink items. I had a Moroccan tea which I enjoyed, my partner had a lemonade which was well made and very refreshing!

Ok. This is the hidden gem no one should know about but everyone should know about. I'm the kind of gal that used to study in college at hookah bars. I've had hookah all over and this is truly such a good deal. $21 for a sex on the beach + $5 ice hose. Packed perfectly. If I didn't already have dinner I would have eaten here. The Frappuccino's looked fantastic but we snacked on Mac and cheese and lemon orzo soup and Moroccan tea. If you want chill backyard vibes with unparalleled authenticity while being able to have a lovely evening discussion... come. Quickly.

A fun hookah lounge with very tasty food. This place has so many different hookah flavors! We got the mint which was really good, as we didn't want something too sweet. Will definitely be back!

Went there on 3/19/2022 on a Saturday evening place doesn't have reservations, so we were lucky to grab a decent table. Ordered the mango with pineapple fruit top and a ice hose. quality hookah and they constantly go around changing your coals. In case you're not aware the don't serve ALCOHOL so if you want drinks stop at a bar before you come here. They had the Knicks game on and you can play games like cards and Uno at your table, overall a cool experience. I think the total was around $50 no forced gratuity nice spot will come back sometime during the summer (sorry forgot to take pics)

An amazing no frills hookah spot in Astoria! We stumbled upon this place after not having a great experience in another new spot in the area. So glad we found this spot because this was one of the best hookah spots my friends and I tried after so long! The ambience was super chill and the staff and owners were all friendly and welcoming. We ordered a Sex on the Beach flavored hookah and large Moroccan mint tea. The tea was delicious and also came in a beautiful tea set. The prices were also very reasonable along with great service. It was a great end to our night out in Astoria. My friends and I will definitely be coming back here for more tea and hookah!

This has been my go-to hookah& chill spot for years. Layaly is a local cafe that is homey and simple. It's not lively or a party scene if that's what you're looking for in a night out. There's lots of seating from the front to their back garden. Simplistic design and often played Arabic music sets the hookah mood. The menu has food and non-alcoholic drinks. I swoon over the strawberry milkshake every time (Diabetics, please be aware of your sugar intake with milkshakes though!). Plenty of hookah flavors and options at average costs (many other places charge $40+ a pipe). Staff members are regular folks. Not attentive but not distracted. It feels like everyone (from clients to staff) are just hanging out at home. Love it!

I absolutely love Layaly Cafe!!! My sister and I have been here several times already. The food is good. I almost always go for the shrimp tacos and truffle fries. The smoothies are delicious. The highlight is definitely the hookah! They offer different flavors which you can mix, and their hookahs LAST!!!! That's a plus for me. The staff is very friendly and attentive as well. Take a seat in the outdoor seating area in their backyard this summer and enjoy yourself. You will not be disappointed.

The service here is phenomenal... Was greeted at the door with mask and hand sanitizer. We got to choose our seats either inside outside or the back. I was even able to select the music is like to listen to. I first ordered mango ginger smoothie which was soooo tasty I'd definitely come back for this alone. Lol then I had guacamole and chips which tasted so good. The service was fast and yet so tasty. I can in to work remotely and get some good food and I got great vibes. Will definitely come back.

My friend who's a big hookah fan and likes low-key spots introduced me to this place. Imagine a mix between a board games hangout spot, a quieter sports bar, an unpretentious diner, and Starbucks (because of the number of people with laptops! #unexpected) with loungy aesthetic of a traditional hookah bar and all of your favorite old-school R&B jams. Heaven, or Layaly Cafe? If you live in Astoria and are looking for your next chill weekday or weekend afternoon excursion with friends, this is the place for you.
