The common advice is to share a bunch of mezze instead of ordering entrees. The hummus with hot fresh gets named most, and the splits people. The room is the other reason to pick it, big and pretty and easy for groups or a special occasion. Some say it's expensive and underseasoned for what you get.

“They’ve got this perfectly roasted tomato inside, and the sumac, tahini, parsley, and onion just perfectly complement and cut through the fattiness of the meat to create a delicious balance of savory, sweet, acidic, herbal creaminess. It’s quite something and if you haven’t tried it, give it a go, I really think it’s a highly underappreciated dish in the city”

“LOVE Ilili - both the restaurant proper and the Ilili Box fast casual outposts they've got. I used to work near the Row hotel location and go all the time. I can still taste the parsley and sumac on the lamb. So bomb.”
