Review Summary

Leila receives broad praise for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean and North African inspired cooking, generous shareable plates, and a warm, inviting atmosphere with attentive, professional service. Dishes like sardines on toast, octopus, lamb merguez, tagliatelle with ragu, and other seafood highlights appear across reviews, and the wine list and cocktails are well regarded, with a speakeasy back room adding charm. A few notes mention occasional saltiness or small portions for the price, and some nights with louder music or slower service, but overall the consensus is that Leila delivers a standout, hospitality-driven dining experience with creative, high-quality cooking and a welcoming vibe.

Very tasty food & friendly staff. We had the octopus, olives & shishito, sardine toast, sucrine, busiata, espadon, pistachio cake & basque cheesecake & every single dish was delicious. The outdoor seating was nice too. Highly recommended! We will be coming back for sure.

In one word,'wow' - what an amazing experience we had at Leila?? The minute we entered the door, the service from everyone was exceptional. Special shout out to Danny, our server, who presented the menu options with such passion & enthusiasm. Amine Laabi was kind enough to stop by to talk to us as he helped us decide on our final choices. We decided on a shared menu for 2, which I highly recommend: marinated peppers/ olives/ pickles, sardines on toast, ricotta brown butter, octopus on a bed of white bean purée, tagliatelle ragu, & last night's special - capellini with lobster. Everything was scrumptious & decadent while plated beautifully on what seemed like my grandmother's heritage dinnerware. We were so full that we opted out on dessert but the options all sounded delicious. The ambiance is warm & inviting with its eclectic, vintage decor. We will be back - I highly recommend Leila & it's Mediterranean cuisine❣?

Wow. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The Cornish hen & beef cheek falling off the bone, the cod cheeks absolutely bursting with flavour. Wow!!!

On top of that, the service was impeccable. Phil was so warm & inviting, & our food arrived in nicely timed, well-served portions.

This restaurant is fresh, authentic & a unique approach to North African food. The Italian influence is subtle, but present. To top it all off, the wine selection is greatly curated, & their sommelier (who is surprisingly young!) is incredibly knowledgeable.

Would highly recommend.

I absolutely love everything about this restaurant - from the delicious food to the amazing staff & the overall vibe. I even got to meet Chef Amine & his lovely team, which was such a treat! Towards the end of the restaurant, there's a cozy space with couches & beautiful antique decorations that made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this place 100% !!!
