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.
