Ilili Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with a focus on Lebanese cuisine. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, showing genuine warmth to customers. Attentive busboys and a welcoming hostess enhance the experience. The menu features a variety of dishes, including perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts with fresh grapes and walnuts, as well as delicious mezze like pita, hummus, and kibbeh. The heirloom tomato, cucumber, watermelon, shallot, mint, and feta salad with labne is noted for being fresh and well-balanced. The wine list highlights ancient Lebanese wines. The restaurant also offers iconic Lebanese dishes such as kibbe, cheese rkakat, tabbouleh, fattoush, falafel, baba ghannouj, mohammara, kibbe nayye, stuffed grape leaves, and the Phoenician fries, which are considered some of the best fries around. The makanek and lamb shawarma are tender, flavorful, and delicious, while the kibbe b'laban and mixed grilled meats are highly praised. Desserts are a perfect way to finish the meal, and the courteous, professional servers add to the lively and sophisticated vibe. The restaurant is attentive to food allergies and dietary restrictions, making it suitable for group lunches, date nights, and family gatherings. Although the restaurant can be loud at times due to its popularity, the large space and outdoor booths help create a comfortable atmosphere for many customers. The design is fantastic, and the creative menu and excellent service make Ilili Restaurant a top choice for any occasion.
