Incredible international cuisine! Attentive service and cute decor, as well. Can't go wrong with the white or red sangria, both are outstanding! Solid selection of worldly wines. Absolutely loved the Appetizer Platter, both Chebureki and Sigara Boregi are perfectly savory and delicious must-tries, excellently complemented by pita, veggies, hummus, and sauces! Lamb kebab is great as well, lamb was wonderfully tender and rice was exceptionally buttery and seasoned; side of Brussels sprouts is expertly dusted with parmesan, a welcome change from overly oily Brussels we've had over the years. Feta and Mozzarella pie is another must-try, exquisitely cheesy, salty, savory, and delicious, especially the puff pastry! Calimocho cocktail (red wine and Coke) was a fun, straightforward try. Napoleon (Russian cake), Sunkissed Ricotta Cream (lemon-curd ricotta cheesecake), and Leila's Love (bread pudding) for dessert were all fantastic without being overly sweet, can't go wrong! Napoleon was our favorite, pillowy puff pastry and cream suit each other well. Apparently they have monthly international specials - didn't get the Italian lasagna this time, but look forward to seeing what they have on offer...

My in-laws were visiting from Central Asia and were in the US for a whole month. Yes, we wanted them to sample food that America is known for (hamburgers and hotdogs, BBQ, Mac & Cheese, etc.) but we also thought it’d be cool if we could take them somewhere that might make them feel at home and demonstrate something else America is known for, it’s diverse population and citizenry. We decided on sharing a dining experience with them at Leila International Cuisine, and we have absolutely NO regrets!

The staff spoke Russian to my wife’s family. The older family members speak very little English, so this accommodation was very much appreciated. We ordered food that was familiar to them, and they loved it! The way the restaurant was decorated and organized made for a warm atmosphere and provided space for our baby girl to roam around a little too. The service was focused and polite and the food was delectable from the appetizers to the desert! I had the Fried Calamari, Chargrilled Lamb Chops and the Irish Twist on Classic Bread Pudding 😋

Thank you Leila International Cuisine for the unforgettable experience!!!
