Alf Laylah is located at 8605 Westwood Center Drive #100 in Vienna, VA 22180. If you are looking for a fun time around the Tysons Corner area, Alf Laylah is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. Alf Laylah is a restaurant that on these nights turns into a lounge. It is a great place to listen to live Arabian songs and get familiar with the Middle Eastern culture. The lounge has a dance floor, a full bar and has a variety of hookahs available for customers. The social scene is a fun and youthful. The prices are modest for the lounge and the food is amazing.
A great fact about Alf Laylah is that when you go you feel welcomed since the staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very chic and has a modern feel to it. It is not something that you would expect from a typical Middle Eastern restaurant, and the live music is just spectacular. The fun fact about the weekend nights is that they have live belly dancing performances, which is a very exciting experience for most. It is a great place for a date or for a group of friends to go eat, drink, dance and smoke.
