The Good Stuff
Arabic music
Live oud, qanoon and Arabic singing add a soothing soundtrack without taking over the evening.
Detailed menu
Reviews describe a four-course meal with fresh mezze, lentil soup, a main course and traditional sweets or fruit.
Strong service
Several diners found the staff attentive and professional, including during busy Ramadan evenings.
Group friendly
The spacious layout works for family gatherings, corporate groups and quieter business conversations.
Live stations
The Ramadan offering includes live cooking stations, giving the meal more theatre than a standard buffet.
Shisha option
Shisha is available, and one reviewer noted that the coal was changed frequently.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check entrance. Use the separate entrance and parking rather than assuming Laylati is inside the hotel.
Confirm format. Ask whether your date uses a set menu or à la carte: reviews describe both formats for suhoor.
Check access. Confirm the age policy before going: one review says suhoor was adults-only and walk-in only.
Try coffee. Leave room for Turkish coffee; it was specifically called out as something not to miss.
Ask for privacy. If you want a more secluded gathering, ask about the private kabanas when arranging your visit.
Allow time. Plan for a leisurely evening rather than a quick meal; one diner noted the calm pace suited conversation.

The Bottom Line
Laylati is a Ramadan event venue in Umm Hurair for late-night suhoor and iftar, with a strong focus on atmosphere. The room is repeatedly described with a starlit ceiling, elegant Arabic décor and live oud, qanoon or folk music. It suits a relaxed evening with friends, family or colleagues more than a rushed meal.
Food is the other main draw. Reviews mention cold and hot mezze, lentil soup, grilled meats, seafood and traditional sweets. Specific dishes include foul nabita, lamb chops, chicken shawarma, falafel, kibbeh and pistachio kunafe.
The format seems to vary by event or date: diners describe four- and five-course menus, an à la carte suhoor and buffet-style service with live stations. Service is usually praised as attentive, friendly and professional, although one weekday visitor found dishes slow to arrive. The spacious setting works for family gatherings and corporate occasions, while private kabanas are available for guests wanting more privacy.
Shisha is also offered, and one review noted frequent coal changes. For practical planning, a 2024 review reported a separate entrance and parking, adults-only walk-in suhoor, and a 9pm-to-2am schedule. That review listed AED135 per person for the suhoor set menu, AED249 for iftar and AED100–150 for shisha; confirm current arrangements before visiting.
