ILILI NYC The premier institution of Lebanese food culture and hospitality values.

Lebanese food revolves around balance and diversity, and defines itself as being a melting pot of experiences. Here at ilili, we hope the love and passion that we have for the food and spirit of Lebanon resonates in the hospitality, flavors, textures and essence of all the dishes you enjoy with us.

Tender grape leaves filled with earthy mushrooms, layered with savory yekhne, heirloom cherry tomatoes, tangy shish*to pickles, and a light yogurt foam. Yekhne, the Arabic word for stew, is rooted in Lebanese home cooking and brings depth and warmth to the dish. Savory, bright, creamy, and balanced.

Reserve your table at ilili Nomad to try it.

Some flavors carry a sense of place.

Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, has been a staple of Lebanese tables for generations. Za’atar, an aromatic blend rooted in Levantine tradition, brings the unmistakable fragrance of wild herbs, sumac, and sesame.

From Lebanon to New York, these are flavors that connect us to where we come from, served the way we know them best: at the center of the table, meant to be shared.
