"Enjoy Middle Eastern mezze at its best at Ilili, a Lebanese eatery cooking up “inspired Mediterranean cuisine.” Hummus topped with Armenian pastrami and fried falafel are a few of the many dishes at Ilili that are sure to inspire its diners."

"The falafels at Ilili definitely qualify as among the best in the city. These falafels have a crispy dark exterior with a soft, crumbly interior, that is salted and spiced adequately and served with tahini sauce."
