New York's Fifth Avenue 🗽 | Hidden Gem: Ilili Lebanese Cuisine (1)🌟

Sometimes, when you get tired of Asian cuisine, you just want to try something different. I’ve had my eye on Ilili, a Lebanese restaurant, for quite some time, and I finally got the chance to visit! 🌟 🗽 The restaurant is in a great location, with a modest but inviting facade. Once you step inside, you’re greeted by a cozy waiting area with sofas where you can start ordering food and drinks. There’s also a stunning dining room, complete with tables of different sizes, perfect for both romantic dates and casual gatherings with friends. 🍽️ Pita Bread 🥪 🗽Every table gets a complimentary basket of warm, puffy pita bread. They’re so cute when they first arrive, all puffed up! The bread has a clean, simple flavor that’s perfect for dipping into the various dips you can order, or the ones that come with the mixed grill. Hamachi Crudo 🐟 🗽This dish is incredibly refreshing, with a tangy and sweet dressing that’s super appetizing. The fish is firm and bouncy, and the overall presentation feels almost Nordic-inspired. It’s not only delicious but also very visually appealing! #Foodie #NYC Food Guide 🍔
