About LEILA

LEILA is a beautifully decorated restaurant with a unique and Instagram-worthy interior. It offers a fun and lively atmosphere reminiscent of a theme park. The menu caters to American tastes, featuring a variety of dishes like breads and dips, meat and veggie kabobs, and chicken and rice.

Recent visitors praised the place as a total surprise, noting the well-done decor that transports guests to another place. The service has been described as amazing, with attentive staff and fun drinks. The ambiance, especially at night when the place is a little dark but cozy, adds a lot to the experience. Many recommend it for a cultural outing and plan to return with family.

While some dishes like the salmon kabob and crispy rice with lamb have been praised, the steak kabob was considered a disappointment due to its quality and overcooking. The food can sometimes feel overpriced and bland, with some components on the salatim platter being hit or miss. The koobideh and chicken tahchin received mixed reviews, described as okay. Tables are small, making it difficult to have enough space for a comfortable meal, and service can sometimes be inconsistent, with staff forgetting orders or not clearing plates promptly.

Despite these issues, LEILA remains a great spot with delicious appetizers and an impressive ambiance, making it a popular place for photos and a lively dining experience.
