“Mediterranean flavors with a Afghan twist”

Rich Mediterranean flavors with a unique Afghan twist in the heart of Downtown Santa Cruz. Laili is an expression of the passion found in the Middle Eastern story of star-crossed lovers “Layla and Majnun”, popularized over 1,000 years ago. Rooted in the time-honored flavors of the Silk Road, our cuisine is a delicate balance of the rich flavors of the Mediterranean, infused with a unique Afghan twist. It is a dining oasis in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz, where the past meets the present, tradition meets modern customs and passion is realized.
