    We and the misses have never experienced Lebanese cuisine prior to our Valentine’s Day (2025) visit, and Ilili did not disappoint! It was also our first time having caviar, truffles, tuna tartare and everything tasted simply divine. The courses were well paced and the choices were abundant, but not overwhelming.

    The restaurant is exquisite and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the breads & spreads, jibineh cheese, mushrooms, beets and eggplant to start. The octopus & steak skewers, the shish barak, the chicken and spaghetti. We had the cheesecake, baklava, and tiramisu. All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
