Halal Reviews for ilili New York City

I just wrapped up the most epic Holiday Luncheon Party from my healthcare staffing company ProMed Staffing Resources at ilili restaurant NOMAD and I'm still buzzing! Jessie Jodet, Private Event Manager extraordinaire, made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail are unmatched. We were in good hands! Stepping into ilili felt like a holiday miracle: festive vibes, twinkling lights, and a tree that sparkled like magic. The private room was perfection, accommodating our crew of 30 with ease. But let's talk food… oh, the food! ilili took us on a delicious Lebanese culinary journey. Creamy hummus, mouthwatering fattoush, crunchy falafel... and don't even get me started on the mains (beef and chicken kebab, halibut on squash purée…YUM!). And those crafted cocktails? To. Die. For. The service was top-notch, too. Carlos, our waiter, was attentive and friendly, and Jessica, the manager, stopped by to ensure we were all having a blast. If you're looking to book your next company event, you know what to do. ilili NOMAD is the place to be. Jessie and the team will make sure you and your guests have an unforgettable time.

I had a fantastic experience at this Lebanese restaurant on 5th Avenue in New York. The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors and perfectly prepared. The cozy atmosphere made the whole meal even more enjoyable, creating a warm and inviting space to relax. The service was outstanding as well. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great Lebanese cuisine in the city!

One of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve had! Beautiful presentation and amazing flavors. I’ve tried many Lebanese spots across the US, but this is the only place with a perfect tabbouleh! Fresh, balanced, and authentic. The grape leaves were delicious too, but strangely both dishes weren’t listed on the menu (thankfully we asked the waiter, who was super friendly and helpful). Great vibes, great food, highly recommend!

As a Lebanese, I have to admit I’m (very) picky when it comes to Lebanese food, as it carries precious memories and traditions. I can truly say that every dish felt authentic and infused with love, reminding me of home in the most beautiful way. My favorites were the tabbouleh, kebbeh and the eggplant chips (modern twist). The sumac margarita was absolutely delicious. The setting is refined and elegant, without feeling pretentious. This is Lebanese cuisine done right in NYC.

Beautiful location, delicious food! Just the flavors you’d expect from mediterranean food. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was service… unfortunately our server Yasmeen wasn’t really friendly. I’d return but ask for a different server.
