About

Leila pairs Persian and broader Middle Eastern dishes with ornate lamps, tapestries, and a starry-sky interior; the fire-roasted cauliflower, hummus, green tahini, and falafel can suit a vegan meal with careful ordering. Dinner is reservation-focused, with open bar seating as a fallback, and reviewers praise the attentive servers while noting that music can be loud and drinks are pricey.
