Fodor's Expert Review Laili Restaurant
$$
Santa Cruz
Mediterranean
Fodor's Choice
Exotic Mediterranean flavors with an Afghan twist take center stage at this artsy, stylish space with soaring ceilings. In the evening, locals come to relax over wine and soft jazz at the blue-concrete bar, on the seasonal heated patio with twinkly lights, or at a communal table near the open kitchen.
