Everything is good quality but for someone who lived in Turkey for 20 years, there's nothing really fancy. Drink Arak if you like Raki. Baba ganouj wasn't good. Brussels sprouts is tasty.
Amazing!! Food and staff service is fantastic. Warm welcome as we entered. Our server Heather was friendly and very hospitable. Best Lebanese food in the city
The Lebanese and Mediterranean flavors at ilili are unique and funky with dishes like shawarma with fig puree. The bi-level restaurant also doubles as a lounge after dark.
Thanks everyone for the tips! I tried the Brussel Sprouts, Hommus with Pita bread, Fries, Candy Bar for dessert and From Beiruit with Passion cocktail! LOVED EVERYTHING! Great Spot!
One of the few delicious Lebanese food places in Manhattan, Tabboule, Hummus, Shish Taouk and more on the menu. Set in a modern atmosphere with dark lighting, but slightly overpriced.
The mini falafel, shwarmacones, and hommus are great! Cutedate spot for cocktails & sharing plates. Upstairs is too stuffy though. Drink/eat downstairs for 1/2 the price.
The mezzes (appetizers) are stronger than the entree dishes here. Stick with the Kibbe Naye Beirutieh (steak tartare) and Arnabeet Mekle (pan-fried cauliflower).
Ótimo custo-benefício. Ambiente lindo, com a opção de sentar no lounge do bar para tomar drinks. Mas vale a pena jantar. Peça o Falafel, é sensacional!
Service was excellent, the food was terrific. It's pricey and very uber trendy... the place looks great, though. Eat in the lounge to hack the line... just as nice, if not better than tables.
If ur craving a manouche this is the place to come for brunch. At $15 it's a bit prohibitive. But if ur craving... Also, I wish they'd open at 11am rather than 12 for brunch.
