Pricey but a very enjoyable place. Mixed grill is a nice sampler of items

You can eat in the little lounge area by the bar if the dining room is full

Duck shawarma 👌🏼 This place is also classily decorated with great service
Derk DoijerDecember 17, 2015
Unless you're crazy hungry you don't need more than 3-4 mezze for 2 people, portions are generous
Ido SelaMarch 21, 2015
Meh. Hummus was blend and the baba over smoky and had too much lemon. The Brussels sprouts dish was good. Don't let them sit you upstairs it's depressing. Doesn't have a nice vibe like the main floor.

Best Lebanese in NY .. nice atmosphere , delicious duck shawarma.
Mike HJuly 18, 2011
Great restaurant. The hummus is delicious along with the salt cod and everything else. Try the house drink, 80% alcohol!
Chantal SAugust 21, 2013
Amazing food. My favorite was the lobster and hummus dish. It was surprisingly filing.
Jane DoeMarch 19, 2018
Duck shawarma, chankleesh, atayef & veal bacon, and chicken shish taouk
Yoriko OkamotoApril 15, 2018
The food was really good, but servers' attitudes were not good. They're not welcome for us, so I was very disappointed. Hopefully, their atmosphere will be better next time.

Get the Brussels sprouts, lamb hommus, and mixed grill.
Kelsey CookNovember 23, 2013
The Brussels Sprouts were amazing...a must have! The Babaghanouj was also excellent.

Amaaaaazing food but it's loud! Brussels sprouts and lamb meatballs are 💯!!
Morgan PolotanApril 1, 2015
One of the top 5 steaks I've ever had. Get the grape leaves and hummus.
Humayun RashidOctober 2, 2012
Surprisingly the appetizers are much better than the entrée. Best app is the shrimp! Chew everything! It's so good.
Eduardo RamirezFebruary 17, 2019
The brussels sprouts are the stand out dish from the whole menu. They’re sweet, savory, unique, and overpriced— much like the rest of the menu.
Nao MizJanuary 19, 2012
You can't go wrong with the TUNA BELLY. Follow up with the lamb leg or the yogurt gnocchi:)

Everything is delicious at illili - the desserts are to die for - yummy
TNAugust 4, 2012
Great food (brussel sprouts, shrimp, kibbeh, duck schwarma). Lebanese wine wasn't too great though.
Anna MoseleyJanuary 2, 2015
All the cold mezze dishes are incredible. Muhamara, hummus, babaghanouj
Fallon RelaySeptember 14, 2012
<3 the Brussels sprouts. You can order the chicken kebab with white meat only (if that's your thing).
Roger SchonfeldDecember 21, 2014
Beautiful atmosphere. Private room options. Fantastic menu.
chi shiJanuary 29, 2011
go with a bunch of ppl so you can taste more appetizers. Everything was so good. Didn't really enjoy arak (licorice flavored liquor)
Mark RussoJune 30, 2010
Food is great. Loved it. Had some middle eastern Egg Benedict. Yummy! One down side my dish came out 10 after my friends - not so good, but got a 20 discount.
PattyJuly 21, 2012
The Venetian lemonade has a very sweet grape flavor - very memorable. As was the bone marrow!
Harumi UFebruary 1, 2015
Good place to have group dinner if it includes vegetarian people
Abby SilvermanJune 3, 2012
Amazing meal! Get the fresh meadow cocktail, and ask for billy as your server.

When in front of the royal duck shawarma, chickens and lambs would commit suicide.
An KikJune 19, 2015
Take the mixed grill! The meat is really delicious!!! Nice service also!
Ghadi TayebMay 13, 2017
I ordered kifte kbaba it was delicious. The "riz" was not that much .. The price little bet over
Jon ChanAugust 5, 2012
One of the best bone marrow dishes for value, and excellent brussell sprouts

Cheesecake and mixed grill and labne are amazing
Amelie PApril 16, 2014
The mezes are so tasty in this mediterranean. Just take 2 each. 3 is too much food.
Kay TeoMarch 22, 2015
The brussel sprouts are unique but very rich. Falafel was divine! Perfect crunch, not oily. Hummus lacked a bit of salt, duck schwarma was overhyped. Slightly dry, nothing special.
eddy malaveMarch 19, 2022
Brussel Sprouts, hummus, etc all AMAZING!!
Amy SNovember 7, 2013
The brussell sprouts are amazing. Seriously - a can't miss
