History
Established in 2007.

Every dish at ilili has it's own story from the traditional recipes direct from Lebanon, to modern updates that tell the history of our team, of our cooks and chefs who have left their mark on our kitchen, and our serving staff and managers who have been ambassadors of hospitality. Our menu is never done - we find inspiration all around, in new ingredients, new approaches, and fresh takes on old standards.
