Leila

What an amazing experience at Leila’s and a must when in downtown Detroit! This is a Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurant that will not disappoint. A beautiful restaurant! We were served by Abraham and he was outstanding! Aside from his amazing hospitality skills, he had a deep knowledge of the menu and explained how everything was prepared. The Haloumi and Hummus with Hashwi were so delicious and these come in generous portions to share. We also had the sticky date cake which paired with the Lebanese sundae, it was a match made in heaven. I highly recommend to try this place and if you can ask for Abraham, you will not be disappointed.

I love this restaurant so much! It is my go to for upscale Lebanese food. You really can’t go wrong, but I do love the ribs, the mixed grill, the meat "cigars", the fattoush salad, the wings, and the fair floss dessert to name a handful of items. The fairy floss sundae was on the 2024 NYT list of best things we ate and is a magical combination of ice cream, rose water fairy floss and pistachios. Service is about average or average plus but the vibe is incredible and the food itself is to die for. There’s also a very wide selection of Middle Eastern spirits not available many other places and some creative cocktails made with them.

My friend and I absolutely love this restaurant. It was our second time here and we didn’t think our experience could get better and it did! We ordered many things, shared and don’t have a single negative thing to say. Demi M was an amazing server, giving us many recommendations, and top tier service. She made the experience that much better.

Nice ambiance and staff. Appetizers were pretty good, I really liked them with drinks. They had a nice cocktail selection. I was not too crazy for the main dishes. (Being Middle Eastern, I’m used to this food - I will say that). Dessert was great. I would be back for drinks and apps.

Had an absolutely amazing dinner at Leila for our anniversary. I had heard so many good things, and we love Lebanese food. Leila did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and delicious. A very robust drink menu with creative cocktails - the Anne Hathaway and Don’t Call Me Shirley were so yummy. For food, we tried the bread, hummus, confit garlic, chicken wings and mixed meat platter. The meat was tender and juicy, and the sauces were on point. The service was attentive, and delivered special touches including a card and complimentary sundae for an anniversary treat. and the overall vibes were lively but cozy. Looks like they have an event space downstairs, which just adds to the offerings of the space. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!!

Awesome place! We ordered hummus, fattoush, pork rib, mixed grill. Dessert was the wonderful ice cream. Everything was delicious and service was good too!

We went to Leila for a girls night out and had the best experience! The food and drinks were absolutely amazing — especially the Anne Hathaway cocktail (a must-try!). But what really made the night unforgettable was the service. Raul was incredible — so attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Demi was also so sweet and kind! Between the delicious food, fun atmosphere, and top-notch service, we’ll definitely be coming back soon!
