Great atmosphere with a lively vibe, and the modern design fits the restaurant’s concept very well. Seating is comfortable, though the music was a bit louder than I prefer, making conversation a little difficult 😅. The menu is well-developed, and the dishes we ordered were overall good to very good (based on personal taste). Excellent service, fairly reasonable prices, and a great location.
filet mignon: our best dishes

Darling was an amazing server—friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional. She made us feel taken care of from start to finish and truly enhanced our dining experience. A real asset to Ilili’s newest location!

My coat got stolen here somehow and the restaurant did not help me recover it at all. I called multiple times and they said they would look at the camera footage but then they never got back to me. it has been weeks. I would avoid at all costs

This spot hits the “spots.” Great Lebanese restaurant that offers sumptuous, delicious plates.
Very good mixed meat grills, beef kibbeh, and batata harra! All tasty and leaves no plate unfinished.
Great service too.

I’ve been to the DC location several times, but I wanted to try their new Midtown spot while visiting for the holidays. The space is beautiful and the vibes were exactly what you want for a night out in the city. Warm, lively, and polished without feeling stiff.
Joan took incredible care of us and made the night even better. Her recommendations were spot on, from the food to the drinks, and she made everything feel effortless and thoughtful. You can really tell when someone knows the menu and genuinely wants you to have a great time.
The food was excellent, flavorful, balanced, and perfect for sharing. Overall, it felt like a place you want to come back to, whether for a celebration or just a really good dinner. Highly recommend ilili Midtown and definitely ask for Joan if you can.

Stunning space for the new location of an old favorite. They have new modern Lebanese inspired dishes in addition to their classics. The whole branzino must have been 6 lbs?? Quite enjoyed wrapping everything in their hot fresh pita. Really liked the tuna Crudo! Knafeh and milk pudding with candied orange peel is not to be missed.
We had the most incredible experience at Ilili Midtown! The restaurant itself is absolutely breathtaking, from the ambiance to the decor, every detail feels so thoughtfully designed.
A special shout-out to our server, Lydia, who was amazing. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made our dinner unforgettable. Despite being 30 minutes late to our reservation (I know, oops!), the team welcomed us with such grace and kindness. Not once did we feel rushed or unwelcome.
The service, the atmosphere, and the overall experience were truly remarkable 💛

I know ilili from their other restaurant and I was blown away at the interior design and atmosphere of the new midtown location. The food is always amazing at ilili, with fresh vegetables and dishes that have bright bold flavors. But the new midtown location has an upscale vibe that makes me feel like I’m in Lebanon. The wall mural is iconic. I need to come back to sit and have a drink at the bar. Bravo
