Laian is truly a dining experience like no other. Offering traditional Middle Eastern foods, but with Nadeem's signature (and unmatched!) twist, every mouthful is bursting with not only delicious tastes and flavours, but his deeply instilled passion and culture too. From the moment you step food (inside or out!), you will feel so warmly welcomed, as if you were family, and feel the immense passion, love and soul that's bubbling away in the kitchen.
Using only fresh and local foods, Laian provides a range of offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Think hand-made local seafood pasta, tender (and ever so mouth-watering) lamb cutlets, creamy and smooth coffee and the richest, most delicious moussaka that ever did exist. And even better? The view that comes in hand with this special dining experience - Laian is set right beside the iconic St Francis Xavier Cathedral.
Humbling. Inspiring. Delicious. Connecting. Dining at Laian has it all.
