DC | ilili - Authentic Lebanese Cuisine You Must Try!🍽️🌶️🥘

If you’re a fan of grilled dishes or love the natural flavors of food, you really should give this a go! But don’t set your expectations too high for Middle Eastern cuisine! Lebanese food can be a bit monotonous in flavor, haha. 🍴 BRUSSELS SPROUTS Grilled Brussels sprouts. I love this! Paired with yogurt sauce and sweet grapes, it perfectly balances the bitterness of the vegetables. Sweet and savory forever, who understands? 🍴 DUCK SHAWARMA Shredded duck meat with tiny pita bread, silent bite after bite. The duck is a bit salty, but it’s just right with the greens! (Hidden eating tip: You can pair the grapes from the Brussels sprouts together for an even better taste!) 🍴 MIXED GRILL A collection of grilled items? Haha, I think the beef is the best, followed by the lamb. Not too gamey, and the charcoal flavor is just right. But it can get a bit heavy after a while (probably because we didn’t roll it up in bread, haha) 🍴 BEEF FRIED KIBBEH Those little fried ball balls inside. A bit unpleasant to eat… They’re green on the inside. There’s a strong spice flavor. 🍴 ilili CANDY BAR The little internet sensation is indeed tasty! It seems like they deconstructed the chocolate bar; the three layers of different flavors and textures of sweet, salty, and bitter blend very well! Paired with sesame ice cream that’s not too sweet. It gave a great ending to the meal. The ambiance of this place is really nice, and it’s crowded during meal times and on weekends. Make sure to make a reservation on their website in advance! #DC #dmvfoodie #dmvfood #hiddenrestaurant #dmveats #NorthAmerica #LebaneseCuisine #dmvrestaurants #fooddiary #date nightrestaurant
