Absolutely obsessed. The shared dip app, salmon/steak kabobs, and pistachio sundae were some of the best foods we've had in a while. This place is a must-go for unique-flavor seekers

Did not enjoy this place at all. The food was quite average and not authentic tasting at all. I would not recommend to those seeking good Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food.

The bar server (a female) had the worse personality. She was very cold, rude, and acted annoyed when we asked questions about the food and drinks. We never experienced such horrible service. We even asked to speak to the manager and he rudely walked right past us as if he didn’t care to acknowledge our concerns. The restaurant is beautiful but owners need to reconsider their staffing. It ruins the entire experience.

From the moment we walked in, the hostess had an attitude, acting as if she were doing us a favor, even though we had a reservation. We were seated and ordered drinks. They served the drinks in the smallest cups possible, and none of them were anything more than a basic piña colada—nothing special. The food was TERRIBLE; I wish I could give it zero stars. The meat? Oh my god, it was so bad. The staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming. The only good thing about this place is the beautiful environment, but it’s a complete WASTE OF MONEY. Oh also horrible parking situation!!!!!! They serve the worst foood on the planet.

From the moment we opened the doors to walk in, our dining fun began. We were pleasantly greeted and seated quickly. The atmosohere was stunning. Our server(s) were completely charming and very knowledgeable of the menu as they made recommendations for us. The food was delicious and the servings were ample. Loved the mocktail! One of the best I've had! I will come back. I do wish they had at least, valet parking as the parking situation is not great. Uber or plan to allow enough time to hunt down a street parking place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I visited Leila last week with my girlfriends and we had such a lovely time. The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy—perfect for catching up and enjoying a relaxed night out. The food was delicious, well-presented, and full of flavor, and the service made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the evening.

It’s the kind of place that feels both special and comfortable at the same time. We left happy, full, and already planning to come back. Highly recommend for a girls’ night or a casual but elevated dinner.

I highly recommend their bread platter and their kebab platter, especially if you're with a group of 6 people.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. The food was unbelievable. The service was excellent with the nicest people. The atmosphere is unlike any other. I loved the vibe so much. Probably the best dining experience I've ever had.

We had a wonderful time spending an evening here. Reservations highly recommended, but they do have a bar inside you can sit at (open seating).

We ordered the Salatim platter and the Soltani platter. Was a bit much for three people, but would be perfect for four people so you can try a little bit of everything if you are a first timer.

The drinks are a little pricey, but that is standard at CH locations. The Tangier Twilight was fun and felt never ending although if you are not a fan of warm/sweet drinks, this would not be for you. It does serve 3-4 people.

The vibe was relaxed and great for dinner with friends. Staff all very friendly.

I really enjoyed my food, drink, and the atmosphere! I recommend making a reservation. We went on a Monday night and although there were many open tables, we were told they were for parties with reservations, even though many tables were unoccupied by the time we left. We were, however, able to snag seats at the bar, where Charlie served us. Charlie was able to answer all of my questions about the food and cocktail menu and led me to the perfect drink and dinner choices. By the way, my drink was really good and the food was delicious.
