    10/10 on all factors. Our server was especially amazing. Didn’t get her name though… Hope she sees this. She made the perfect recommendations and we absolutely loved it. THANK YOU.

    Beautiful place but the food is even better. Great service food arrives fast only thing I have to say they are missing some of their wines by the glass. Opening for breakfast might be a great idea a shakshuka

    While it took us 3 months to get a reservation - this place is worth the wait ! Ambiance, decor, very thoughtful service & fun Persian style music - made the experience very authentic ! Highly recommend to get the platter with all the dips - they are so good ! Muhamara & shallot yogurt dips are to die for. Kabobs are super delicious too ! We will be back 😃

    I felt like I was transported to another place the moment I walked in. What a beautiful place. Food was great, drinks were tasty, and the service was excellent.

    We went for my son’s 10th birthday and the staff made his birthday extra memorable. From the food, to the atmosphere to the vibe to the drinks and dessert…everything was excellent! We will definitely be coming back! Definitely didn’t disappoint and was worth the hype.

    Experience of the location is unreal-took my breath away. Service was impeccable! The food tasted great, we ate the salmon, beef and chicken skewers. As other reviewers point out, the portions are not huge, and cost of one pita bread at $4 is a little steep. Having said that, I would definitely go again for the ambiance and the service!

    My family had a birthday celebration for our granddaughter at Leila's. We absolutely loved it. The ambiance was amazing. I was in Morocco 3 months ago and it felt sooo similar. I would highly recommend it. Although, it was very difficult to get reservations! But worth it!!!
