Created with sustainable materials and custom items from Lebanese artisans, our new space in DC is inspired by the enchanted gardens found within the courtyards of longstanding Beirut homes. The menu in DC is mezze-heavy and carries over many NYC staples.
Welcome to ilili NYC
Our home located in New York’s Flatiron District, where we invite guests to celebrate life and share sundry blends of modern and traditional Lebanese-Mediterranean cuisine. Our goal at ilili is to unify our guest’s cultures and spirits with our own, expressing passion and generosity in the cuisine we share.

Executive Chef and Owner Philippe Massoud excellently crafts a melting pot of Lebanese, Levantine, and Mediterranean inspired cuisine mixed with New York Attitude. Flavorful herbs and spices combine textures to appease broad based palates.
Visit UsA place for family
Whether part of a party of fifty or a party of two, your experience throughout our elegant, yet comfortable space is eventful. We are sharing our long-held Lebanese-Mediterranean traditions with a modern contemporary twist.
Book an Eventilili means “tell me” in colloquial Lebanese and this is exactly what we want you to do. Each passing of our shared plates and the breaking of freshly baked Levantine pita opens up a new conversation.
Our menu is never done
Every dish at ilili has its 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.
