Ilili

4.5

About this business

Scrumptious babaganoush, irresistible falafel and gooey Kashkaval cheese are only some of the perfectly executed dishes at this lavish Mediterranean-influenced Lebanese restaurant. Ilili is chic, refined Middle-Eastern cuisine with sophisticated offerings like braised rabbit, lamb and plum stew, and striped bass with a ragout of clams and herbs. The dining space glows amber, creating a backdrop for an unforgettable romantic night out. Reservations are recommended.

Ciao Bella Now Uses Fillers in their Ice Cream! – Diasppointed to see that many (all? - we had their chocolate and triple espresso) of their ice creams now use - Guar Gum - Locust Bean Gum - Carrageenan all at the same time. Yikes! We loved the ice cram they make, but now won't touch it. Had some lately and wondered why it tasted funny. Then we read the list of ingredients. Looks like the expansion of their business drove a once great brand to focus more on profits than on the quality that got them to the top.

Totally Biased but... – I love this restaurant! The food is contemporary Lebanese/Mediterranean and outstanding in every respect. The Brussels Sprouts are highly recommended (Zagat) as well as the Duck Shawarma, Chewy Lebanese Ice Cream, and all the traditional mezza including falafel, hommus, tabbouleh and all the rest! Check out the bar scene too - great cocktails (try the From Beirut with Passion) and eye candy ;)

Mediterrean The food is delicious here! One of my favorite dishes was the eggplant and the blackened shrimp.

I loved the way it was set up..a great place for a date or just with a night out with friends!! It's not super cheap but it's not super expensive either- it's moderate pricing but it's good!

Best Mediterranean food in NYC – This is a refreshingly original take on Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisine that doesn't compromise the authenticity of flavors and dishes. While all the mainstays and mezze like tabbouleh, falafel, shawarma etc. are available - they are at times deconstructed and at times transformed into supercharged little packets of amazing tastes. The duck shawarma, Sidon black cod and black iron shrimp are all to die for. The desserts are heavenly and the original ice cream here is unique - reminiscent o... read more
