Ilili Restaurant Nyc - New York City - Photo album
By far one of the best restaurant experiences that I’ve had in NYC this year! Came here with about 6 people and ordered a wide array of dishes. Everything was delicious but what really stood out were the eggplant dishes plus the dips - I’d definitely get these if you’re looking for some options. The
Fresh, quick, variety of classics. Everything was pretty tasty but nothing outstanding. Hummus, nothing special but good. Would come back because i believe its a repeatedly reliable source of good food & fun ambiance. Can be a bit loud if you’re looking to have a conversation with your company.
Wonderful dinner with same consistency we remember from 10 years ago. Our waitress was amazing along with the other staff. Highly recommend! Kid friendly too! Get the Harissa on the side..it's life changing!!
I thought ilili was a pleasant change of pace from the usual type of cuisine I go for when visiting New York. Their menu is fairly extensive and it’s best to order a few dishes from each category to split so you can try everything.
Walking up as a party of 1, I got a seat at the bar which does full
TLDR: Ilili is a great choice for Lebanese cuisine, if you're into Middle Eastern or mediterranean cuisine - you'll love this. The mouhamara is great and definitely give that burger a try.
Ilili was one of those places I wanted to try for a long time. The menu is quite extensive but our server help
We've been to Ilili many times , but mostly for dinner. This time we decide to try brunch. The ATAYEF VEAL BACON were delectable and a great bite of light pancakes with bacon, fig jam, pickles, and hot peppers. Lamb & beef meatballs with cherry sauce (KEBAB KEREZ) and the LEBANESE BURGER with fries
came here for brunch which probably was not the best time to come here. didn’t realize they had a lunch and brunch menu and the lunch menu isn’t available weekends. it was fine and some items were def better than others.
eggs benedict looked like a salad
ilili country style breakfast looked pretty
Cool place to try Lebanese cuisine. For starters, would recommend the mouhamara. For mains, the duck shawarma is good. The lamb shawarma is also tasty. I did find both of them a bit dry. They come in portions of four pieces each so they are good to share. The tuna tartare is also good. For dessert,
Everything about this restaurant was spectacular. Service, food, atmosphere were all outstanding. Definitely go!
I went here two years ago for brunch and really liked. I went here yesterday and still really liked it. The flavors were traditional and nuanced. There was a good mix of textures and spices. It’s a really beautiful space with high ceilings and gender neutral bathrooms. The bar looks like a nice spac
Duck shawarma was interesting, comes in 4 pieces so it was easy to share. The lamb shank was good and also very shareable - has plenty of vegetables inside.
The mezzes and pita were pretty average, the pita was very thin so not very chewy. Steak tartare was interesting. Overall a good vibe though.
The food is amazing, service is quick and ambience is top notch.
Highly recommend- Phoeccian fries, eggplant, labneh, Candy Bar
ilili was a wonderful experience. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating of dietary restrictions. We went for a team dinner and reserved a private space. The food was delicious and my team had a wonderful time. I would be excited to go back and try some of their other options.
Such a great spot, the ambiance and the food was great and the service is really good.
We ordered the Hummus (the standard of any Lebanese restaurant) and the fried kubbah (highly recommended). The main was the chicken shish tawook, the chicken was so tender and the taste was on point.

We went for brunch- even though the place is pretty big I do recommend booking it in advance.
To start with had the hummus and baba ghannouj which came with puffed up pita. Both were amazing and pretty light. We tried a hibiscus flavoured spritz and jet set- both were very refreshing perfect for a b
I have only had Lebanese food a few times before, but this place is absolutely gorgeous. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, everything Alex suggested was delicious. The portions are generous and the food was so flavourful. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a flavourful meal.
Recommendations: Duck shawarma, Kebab Ketez (cherry meatballs), Phoenician Fries, Kibbeh Nayeh, Arak (alcohol that goes well with the Kibbeh), Knafeh (dessert).
My first trip back in a few years and glad to say it's still great. The food is a mix of traditional Lebanese along with some fusiony dish
