Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
LEILA offers an "out of this world" atmosphere with stunning decor that captivates every guest. The service is "impeccable," and the food, especially the kabobs, is "delicious" and "unique." Perfect for celebrations, the ambiance is both romantic and vibrant. Reservations are a must, but worth the effort.

    Beautiful venue with a comfortable seating layout, not cramped. Service felt intimate from getting seated through having the menu explained. Ordered Chicken Shwarma Hummus and the Soltani Platter. It was delicious and inline with the type of cuisine it is. In my opinion it should be shared between 3 or 4 people instead of just 2. The leftovers made two full To-Go plates. I had the Camel clutch while the wife had Foozool to drink. Both drinks were tasty. The mid meal hot tea definitely hit the spot. Will revisit, next time with another pair of friends. Overall value is there, especially if you choose normal portions haha.

    Waited a long time for a table despite the reservation. Lots of parties waiting and not much space to wait. It didn't make a lot of sense. Food was great. Service was a bit slow. It was my 3rd time there and each time the wait and the service has declined.

    Both the ambiance, the design, the menu items and service were all excellent. Everything we tried was great. It did take quite a while to seat us past our reservation but the hostess was very apologetic and won us back over immediately. Worth the wait- One of the most beautiful restaurants I've been to. An amazing night.

    Ambience is great. Music was also good and at a level that was fine. Food was good though I could have used more diverse vegetables. The place should be 5-star worthy however, I took away a star as I had three people and my table was just too small. The serving plates are big, and everything barely fit on the table, I spilled tea on myself just trying to maneuver, I got frustrated I could not eat comfortably due to the small size of the table. I ended up just wanting to take the food home and eat it there, which I did.
