In Short
This co-venture by veterans of Virago and Six Degrees retain their chic elegance while raising it a notch with Layl'a Rul. There are several dining nooks, including a cozy Moroccan-themed lower dining room with suede sofas and lanterns on each table. The funky, modern atmosphere carries over to the menu, which features tapas, salads and brick oven pizzas. Around midnight, the restaurant becomes a swanky lounge, as a dress-to-impress crowd bellies up to the bar.

It's too bad their gone. It's not too often that you can find an Indian cuisine restaurant in Nashville. I did enjoy their food and I hope that they come back soon.

I'm sure myself and MANY others are cheering that this joint finally got shut down for good the other night. Supposedly they didn't want to keep the current lease and the owner is claiming that he's opening a "bigger and better" club in Nashville's Gulch area. That's all fine and good, but I wish he'd do everyone else a favor and not re-hire any of the staff for that place that he had working for this "ultra lounge". Every one of those losers are all pathetic pretentious twits, from the doormen to their manager Deanna; mind you, I've had pleasant enough experiences in there myself, but I loathe the way they've treated friends of mine and other patrons/potential patrons. Discrimination, attitude, and a generally high school snob-mob mentality rules the roost there. And why in the Hell would a club even bother with a VIP section(which was pretty lame anyway, especially based on the dorks I saw let in there) on their last night of business? Newsflash to Layla and its staff: this ain't LA or NYC. Nor will it ever will be. Get over yourselves and cater to your customers. Oh wait, you no longer have any customers because you're over now, huh? Hahah!! Karma's a biyotch and so is most every person on your staff. Better luck next time, poseurs!

Ohhhh where do I start on this one... I threw a party there quite some time ago. We had a table in the VIP section reserved and it had a $600 minimum. NO BIG DEAL! I had over 100 people in attendance, granted all 100 did not order from our server in their defense. Anyway, we arrive around 10 pm and start the tabs immediaitely around 12 am (2 hours later) one of the rude snobby staff members approaches me and says "I'm sorry to inform you but you have only reached $100 on your tab so far" HA! What a joke that was... I had drink well over $100 on my own and then take all the people I had with me. So whatever I let it go.. and remind her that their are still 3 ENTIRE hours left in the night before they close. How rude to hassle me on a tab that had only been opened 2 hours! And I will be the firs tto tell you that we had already racked up over $1,000 by this point. I seriously thought it was a joke! You get the point. On to my next rant! I'm aware of the dress code at Layl'a and I dress very trendy. I had a hat on as I walked up to the door, but removed it before I was in sight from of any employee there because I knew the dress code. So I'm upstairs having a drink. I have my hat in my left hand and my drink in my right. My head suddenly had an itch so I do what most human beings do. I reach up and scratch my head with the hand I was holding my hat in. Some rude bouncer comes up to me in a threatening voice and tells me I BETTER remove my hat. I say back to him "I'm not wearing a hat" He then proceeds to bicker with me and talk to me as if I'm some low piece of (bad word). Must I remind this guy he is a bouncer in his 30's??? I was clearly not wearing the hat on my head. Long story short he ends up grabbing me and kicking me out. Some people in Nashville would consider me to be a public figure in the night life scene. I know everyone around town and everyone at most of the venues and I am actually likable...lol I'm through with this WANNA BE of an establishment!
