A celebration of food and culture, inspired by ancient spice trails with an Australian accent
Layla is a fresh and inspired expression of borderless food and beverage. Inspired by the journeys of the ancient spice trails, we celebrate how food and culture have always brought people together and aspire to bring together the melting pot of all the regions we are inspired by into a harmonious and exciting experience. At Layla, those traditions are reimagined through a focus on exceptional Queensland produce and a distinctly Australian spirit.
Led by Shane Delia and the Layla team, every dish is designed for sharing, generous, vibrant, and created to spark conversation.

Pistachio and kataifi draw the Layali Espresso beyond the familiar. Built on vodka, Kahlúa and espresso, the result is richer in texture with a subtle nod to the flavours that shape our menu.
The new menu has arrived and there is no better way to welcome it than with freshly shucked oysters and a seat in the courtyard.
From Mooloolaba prawns with fiery harissa to coal-grilled swordfish glazed in burnt orange and saffron, each new dish carries the bold, spice-led flavours Layla is known for. To finish, whipped knafeh with lemon verbena syrup and vanilla bean ice cream.
