  Lovely spot. Food was quite expensive and the Lebanese wine wasn’t great but the atmosphere in the garden area is lovely.

  This is a nice place for office lunches as well as family dinners. The kababs and falafel are fabulous. My favorite in the area.

  Leila Restaurant is a beautiful Mediterranean spot in West Palm Beach that delivers a consistently enjoyable dining experience. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels warm, inviting, and relaxed whether you’re seated indoors or on the outdoor terrace. It’s the kind of place that works well for date nights, family dinners, or hosting friends from out of town. The food is clearly made with care and attention to flavor. The grilled meats are a highlight especially the chicken and lamb, which are well-seasoned, tender, and cooked properly. The appetizers are solid across the board, with hummus, baba ghanoush, and mezze plates that are fresh and satisfying. Portions are generous, and most dishes feel worth the price, especially if you enjoy authentic Mediterranean flavors. Service is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the staff genuinely wants guests to have a good experience. While service can slow down a bit during busy dinner hours, the staff remains attentive and polite. The belly dancing entertainment in the evenings adds a fun and festive touch, making the experience feel more special without overwhelming the dining atmosphere. The only reason this isn’t a full five stars is that pricing can feel a little high on certain dishes, and consistency can vary slightly depending on how busy the restaurant is. That said, the overall experience is still very positive, and Leila remains a reliable go-to for quality Mediterranean food in Palm Beach. If you’re looking for great grilled dishes, a cozy atmosphere, and an authentic Mediterranean dining experience with entertainment, Leila is definitely worth visiting and a place many guests happily return to.

  Yesterday I picked up dinner for 2. Celebrating meeting a Lebanese friend after 4 yrs, it was a special occasion. Extremely disappointed. We chose Veg. options. Tabouli, hummus, baba ganouge, peta bread, and kanafee for dessert. Taoubli was high in salt and too much lemon. Dessert was inedible, humus and baba ganouge were OK as was the pita bread. Price was around $55. Two us could not finish it, and we know the portions are not huge. I am going to throw away the rest, and I dislike throwing away food. Not, good enough to give to anyone. The ambiance seemed nice. However, food was pretty bad. And, we have had Mediterranean many times. Too bad. Will not be returning here. It was precious time with a dear friend, which was priceless...and ruined by the dinner.

  The biggest reason for the two stars is not the taste but the price. The falafel was dry (seemed baked not fried) and contained no herbs (no green insight), among the less good falafel I have had but that did not motivate this review. I am coming from Germany where there is very good mediterranean food due to the mass immigration of people from the Arab world. I am familiar with this cuisine. 3 slices of halloumi for around $16. I can get 5 bags for that price at Aldi. I was flabbergasted. The lemon and ginger for $8 was a tea bag like the ones from Publix. No real ginger or lemon. Again flabbergasted. I guess they cater to the Palm Beach crowd who doesn’t care about price and is ignorant to this kind if cuisine. Anyone familiar be ware. High prices not in correspondence with the quality or quantity. Great service and a lovely place inside.
