Timing – Lunch

Mixed Grill, Leilah Osmeillah

Leila restaurant has always been one of the few crowded restaurants in MCC. They definitely have mastered the art of serving finest Lebanese cuisine. The mixed grill was absolutely delicious as the meat was very tender and juicy being accompanied with garlic cream and bread. Leilah Osmeillah was a phenomenal dessert having rose ice cream which made it a show stopper and definitely a great recommendable dessert option to try out in Leila. Food Guide Official shall pay a visit in future to try out more dishes.

It is a nice Lebanese concept where you can enjoy an authentic Lebanese food and and environment.

Very friendly staff, food is good however the zaatar amnouche is full of oil and it can be better but the over all experience is great.

Good luck

Loved the spicy hummus and liver. I was also surprised by the healthy quinoa tabbouleh. There are many healthy options. They kept on serving yummy hot kuboos. Desserts are mostly served with sugar syrup on the side, that also helps with healthy eating!

The food is consistently delicious at Leila! The bread is awesome and the moutabbal is probably the best in Dubai. As usual, the staff was friendly and came to check on us several times to make sure everything was ok, and it was!

So we ordered office lunch from here. All was great. I had the Light Beef. The meat was AMAZING and that pomegranate sauce was soooo good. It usually comes with grilled vegetables.l, those weren’t as good, they didn’t have any flavor and were so bland. But the star of the dish was good so it kind of balanced things.
I still think the prices are a bit high too for the quantities.

A favourite for Lebanese cuisine! You could never go wrong at Leila!

Amazing appetizers, fast service, and absolutely delicious barbecue.

I highly recommend their Hommus bi Lahmeh and Shsish Tawouk. They also have low calorie meat which caters for those on diet or those who are trying to have protein concentrated meals :)

Rarely do you find the authentic Lebanese taste in Dubai, but this place definitely presents the Lebanese cuisine in a perfect way. The reception is very welcoming and they manage to find everyone their perfect spot despite crowds in rush hour. The staff is very polite and friendly, and they are Lebanese who give the place the right essence. Food is fresh and delicious with good presentation, and with portions valuable enough for the money.
Totally recommended 👍

Leila is a purely Lebanese Restaurant who managed to twist the traditional Lebanese concept and modernize it.
The mood of the place is cozy, warm, spacious and friendly. The library shelvings with lot of books and the old photo frames hanging with the TV showing old songs clips; all these items gives it that cozy and warm feeling where you always feel welcome.
Food quality is one of the best. Very consistent, original Lebanese taste however some of the plates presentation are twisted as per the creative chef; but still tastes amazing.
This place is highly recommended as the value for money is phenomenal; around AED80 per person.
One comment I would like to add about the service; it used to be exceptional; still it is great but it has to go back to where it started earlier.
Please try their cotton candy with Miskeh ice cream... you will fall in love again!

While moving around mcc , i found this fairly unique resturant @leilarestaurant
Living in dubai gives you chance to try multiple cuisines.
So i was eager to try this labanese resturant.
This place is incredible in terms of soothing environment, warm gestures and feminine kind of interior.
What i ordered:
Hummus: which has become my ultimate favourite in past few years. And now i can proudly differentiate between a good and bad hummus.

*The hummus they served was divine. Perfect consistency and flavours.
Rate: 5/5

*fresh watermelon juice: was very refreshing to beat the heat.
rate:5/5

* sheesh tawooq:
juicy, soft, succulent chicken, was melting in mouth, with special bread, french fries and grilled vegetables. was a hit.
Rate:5/5

Fresh bread is missing in the picture but it was hell amazing.
Ps the pickles made a great combination.
Yay!
Do try it out.

When it comes to lebanese food, leila gets it right!
The chicken tawok, hummus, and mezza is very nice usually. I have found the food sometimes a but too sour and strong in flavor but overall its always a great meal at leila’s. This particular brand is in the mall so while the music is pleasant, the overall ambiance is not as relaxed as other leila branches

🌟 👌Herba Grill:
Minced meat grill with grilled potato. The dish was juicy and mouth watering.

Little bit overpriced to be honest.

Honestly felt like I was in Lebanon for this meal.It really hit home.The staff is exemplary, they were always catering to our needs, and kept the fresh bread coming without having to even ask.We got many small plates and shared them across the table as is usually the case in Lebanese restaurants.The highlight was definitely the fillet ras asfour with pesto, the meat just melts in your mouth, and the creamy pesto is delicious! Must be the first thing you order there!Other than that, the usual dishes of hommos, moutabbal,rakakat,mouhammara,spicy potatoes, makanek all were delicious!Can safely say the plates were completely wiped out!Can't wait to go again!A MUST

A great place to enjoy Lebanese cuisine. Authentic and consistent taste. The grilled chicken is the best I’ve had in Dubai. The marination is amazing.

I’ve also tried a lot of the menu items from the light section and they taste really good.

Price: The price is no different from other Lebanese cuisines that offer the same quality and the portions are generous.

Service: Friendly staff. Our waiter was Lebanese so no hard time explaining my customizations.

Food: Delicious! The grilled chicken is a must try. The fattouch is ok but can be much better. The Kebbeh with Yogurt is super! The cheese rolls rock. The Jabilya salad is a must try.


Overall: Great place with amazing food and always consistent.

Enjoyed an excellent Lebanese #vegetarian #dinner in Leila restaurant at the Mirdiff City Center. The mezza was very fresh with nice flavour and taste. Potatoes were crisp from the outside and soft inside with a hint of garlic and a zing of spice. Grilled vegetables here just right with a drizzle of pomegranate Molasses. We have found our place to get our Lebanese vegetarian fix!!!!!!.

First time to Leila, classy yummy Lebanese experience.

Service ☆☆☆☆ : Great welcoming at the door, fast table service. What is more awesome is that it's a Lebanese restaurant with actual Lebanese staff. You don't see it usually.

Cleanliness ☆☆☆☆☆: 5 Stars for hygiene ! Everything is pretty neat and organized.

Taste ☆☆☆☆☆ : Feels Back Home ! They have the right Lebanese taste. It is never easy to make your Lebanese food taste actually Lebanese.
Ms. Leila excells in taste.

Presentation ☆☆☆ : Presentation is almost typical, I would suggest making it more Lebanese. For example, Pottery would be a great add to make it more Lebanese.

Location ☆☆☆ : The restaurant NEEDS to reflect its Lebanese identity. This place is also quite typical modern restaurant, it needs to be redesigned with traditional Lebanese style.

I would rate my overall experience with 4 stars and would certainly try it again !

I RECOMMEND !

BON APPETIT !

Lovely ambiance... amazing food and excellent service.. the server was very helpful and kept asking if the food was ok or we needed anything. We ordered hummus beiruti, farouj chicken (juicy and succulent), tabbouleh, kebab platter, and fattoush. The food was yummylicious and we will keep coming back for more such pleasurable experience and good food.

Lovely Lebanese cuisine 😍😍 taste, portions and ambience is all perfect.

What I usually love to order:
- Hummus with meat (33 AED)
- batata harra (26 AED)
- Arayes (45 AED)
- Mix grill (99 AED) - made for 2-3 people to share

I recommend going for an early lunch so that there is time for you to digest as you will feel heavy after eating all that delicious food 😂

Leila is a very special Lebanese franchise, original of which is in Beirut. A deliberately feminine, nostalgic touch graces everything at Leila from the artsy menu to the tasteful interior, from the embroidery on the linen to the cutlery – subtle touches of the past to give you a flashback flutter without resorting to full-on retro. This branch on the first floor of Mirdif City Centre is one of their flagships, bigger and more detailed then the one we have at the Ranches. The food at Leila is very, very good. So is the service. Be sure to ask for the dish for the day, it’s usually something very special. Worth a visit.

Been there on a quiet weekday late dinner with just 3 other tables occupied. having self-proclaimed the expert on Arabic cuisine, i was comparing it to the numerous others in the market. 
It does keep up to its reputation and price!
Food is awesome, i ordered the mix grill, chicken brochettes, fattoush, spicy potatoes, hummus (it was thick and flavorful), although a bit limited on the variety, the taste is wonderful.
The meat kaftas were so succulent and tender, literally cooked to perfection. so were the chicken brochettes, but chicken are usually tender to start with.
The appetizers were served almost immediately after being ordered along with a serving of the complimentary zaatar breads.
A bit pricey to make it a regular stop, but its worth the money. I would take the spicy potatoes on take away on a regular basis though!!!!

P.s. they should add Falafels to the menu (its Syrian cuisine though)

Dropped in for dinner on New Year's Eve. Conveniently located at the central galleria side of the city center, this restaurant has ample seats and serves sumptuous Lebanese cuisine. We were a group of six adults and decided to go for the mixed grill. We ordered two plates of the 700g mixed grill which was enough for all of us. The service was pretty slow and the restaurant wasn't all that busy when we got there. Once our order was finally taken the food arrived in pretty good time. The kebabs were amazing and the bread was out of this world. We would go there just for the really soft Arabic bread . Overall nice experience and would definitely drop in here again
