    Unfortunately, the branzino was not fresh. My husband didn’t eat it. However, the Babaganoush and the fava beans were delicious.

    I hadn't been to Leila's for many years, and was glad to find it was as good as I remembered. The host was welcoming, the server was knowledgeable and attentive, and even the food runner contributed to the experience.

    Excellent but a little off from first visit a week prior. Everything was perfect in flavor but some items seemed a bit dryer than last time (falafel). Tabbouleh good but not as sharp in texture. Service and owners still so wonderfully hospitable so I'd go back again for sure.

    As soon as you enter you feel the warm ambiance. Warmly greeted. Then the magic began. Amazingly friendly service, phenomenal menu options! Not one item we ordered was anything less than perfection. It was a sensory explosion to the last bite. Felt sad when it was over. The good news.....I can and will return❣️. Thank you to the entire family behind this memorable experience and restaurant.
