About Us.
Our Resto.
Welcome to Leyla’s Mediterranean Café, where authentic flavors, heartfelt hospitality, and fresh ingredients come together to bring you a true taste of the Mediterranean right here in Cedar Park, Texas.
Our Story
Leyla’s opened its doors in December 2019, founded by Alaa Bataineh and his wife Courtney, who shared a vision: to bring high-quality, authentic Mediterranean food that’s both accessible and affordable for families and food lovers in the Austin area.
What Makes Us Special
Authentic Recipes & Ingredients
We take pride in preparing every dish from scratch. Our falafel is made from whole garbanzo beans that we soak and grind in-house, not from canned mixes. Our hummus, rice, salads, and sauces follow family-inspired recipes, many enhanced by spice blends brought in or inspired by traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. 
Halal & Dietary Options
All of our meats are halal. Alongside meat-based dishes (lamb, beef, chicken), we offer plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and keto-friendly selections. We want everyone in our community to enjoy a meal here.
Family & Community Focus
Leyla’s isn’t just about food—it’s about bringing people together. Whether you’re joining us with family, friends, or dining solo, we strive to create a welcoming, warm atmosphere with generous portions, fair prices, and attentive service. For many, Leyla’s is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gathering place. 
Freshness & Quality
We avoid fillers and preservatives, valuing fresh ingredients from local sources whenever possible. This dedication shows in both taste and integrity. Our menu feels like home-cooked food, but with flavors that transport you across the Mediterranean.
