Leila Moroccan and Lebanese Restaurant in Ealing

everything we had was delicious and very reasonably priced

My first time at this restaurant in Ealing Common. Wow! Danial our waiter was so happy to answer all of my questions about the menu, offering me advice on what I would and would not like based on my preferences and he was spot on. Brewat,. Leila, Kibbeh, Pastilla and Leila Batata were just a few of the delights my husband, son and myself enjoyed. Not going to explain what was in each dish - that is for you to go and try for yourself! Hope to visit again when we are next down in Ealing. Well done to Danial and his colleagues. Thank you for a superb meal

Thank you Mahi for serving us! Highly recommended

We love this place. Food is amazing, vibe and decor is great, and our server Mahi was really welcoming.

As a regular customer, I can say that they provide tasty quality food with excellent customer service. Mahi has always been super helpful during my visits.

We have been eating here since we moved to the area almost 5 years ago! It’s about time we left a review. The food is superb, the portions are generous and the staff are fantastic. It’s also excellent value. If you’re ever in the area, be sure to pay a visit!

Delicious food! I order once a month and it's always a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it! The Tajine and Couscous are to die for.

First time at this local restaurant, we enjoyed an excellent service by Mahi, lovely food especially the starters, in a very nice decor. Would really recommend

My wife and I chose Leila’s to cater our wedding buffet-style—and what a fantastic choice it was! From the very beginning, Raef made time for us to enjoy a taster session of their delicious food at the restaurant. After deciding to go with them as our caterers, the communication was consistently excellent. Raef and the team catered to our every need and were incredibly flexible with our requests. Their buffet setup at our wedding venue was picturesque. The equipment and presentation of the food were both appealing and beautifully arranged. The serving team was outstanding—friendly, easygoing, and always smiling. And the food… wow! It was absolutely delicious. All of our guests were impressed and kept telling us how amazing everything tasted. There was truly something for everyone—even the fussy eaters went back for seconds (and thirds)! Raef and the team really nailed it. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you team!

Lovely waiter, mahi and delicious flavourful food. Really recommend

Really enjoyed my food at Leila's - Fattoush was tasty and fresh, Halloumi grilled was seasoned well and grilled to perfection, Sea Bass Fillet with Rice very filling and yummy. I would definitely come back. Portions size are sharable. Mahi was very welcoming, friendly & attentive. He provided a efficient service with a lovely smile. We spoke about the history of the restaurant.

Leila did the catering for our wedding, from canapes to dinner and what a great job they did! They customised a menu that suits us and delivered on exactly what they had promised catering to all. We took the venue as a dry hire and they set up the venue to look amazingly beautiful taking into account every little detail. The service was top class and the staff were all super friendly and attentive. We had the best time as we knew we were in good hands. Raef was flexible and took all of our requests onboard. The food was delicious and all of our guests gave great feedback. Highly recommend Leila whether it’s for dining in their restaurant or as a supplier for events&weddings. Thank you Leila!

I had the best birthday! The service was amazing. Danial was the best. He was attentive and really lovely. Will Definitely recommend this place to eat and celebrate.

Lovely and charming place. It is unassuming but the food is amazing and generous portions for the price. Sidhu was a great.

The food was amazing and very authentic. I was greatly served by the host Mahi, Incredible service

Mahi was really nice and attentive.

Great food, atmosphere and service! Mahi was very good to suggest plates :)

Great restaurant. Good food and friendly staff. Good but relaxed service. Will eat here again.

had a fantastic dining experience! The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. A special shoutout to Daniel, who was an amazing waiter—attentive, friendly, and made our evening even better👌🏻👌🏻

The food at “Leila” was absolutely delicious. Daniel provided great customer service and his advices was very helpful. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty food and excellent hospitality.

Had an absolutely lovely Mother's Day lunch at Leila's. The food was incredible with amazing, friendly service from our server Danial. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

This shop is my local, and after a couple times coming here I can say that the food is great, the meat has great flavour and the portion sizes are very big! The fries especially are a stand out, one of my favourite I have tried in London and highly recommend. In addition their sauces of garlic and chilli are great. While the ambiance is little outdated, it still has a lovely charm and would go back many times.

Very friendly staff, professional and goos food

Food was fantastic and our server (Danial) was very helpful. Would definitely come again!

Amazing food! Best in west London for a Lebanese out. Must try! Service is top too! 🔝🔝🔝🔝

Our waiter Danial was top tier , got our food ready swiftly even on busy national holidays. The food was amazing!

Is the best Libanese cuisine in West London 👍👍👍👍

Wonderful food, wonderful service ! had the best experience, Thank you everyone.... Danial man of the match !

Everything was perfect. Mahid and Daniel served us, making everything extra perfect.

Excellent food, excellent customer service from Daniel & Sidhu.

Eating at Leila was a great experience. I loved the hummus and cauliflower with lemon tahini sauce, all accompanied by a smooth glass of white wine.

The food was actually terrible, but what really stood out was the shady behavior when it came time to pay. After finishing my meal, the waiter brought the card machine to me without entering the total amount and held it above my eye level, so I couldn’t see the screen. I noticed he had charged me £9 more than the bill total. When I called him out, he claimed the machine was broken and said, “Oh, is this not your receipt amount?” When the receipt was clearly in-front of me. When I asked for a receipt from the ticket machine to get confirmation of the payment, he told me the machine couldn’t print one. I’m sure I’m not the first one they did this to.

Absolutely phenomenal, ticks every box. Very good starters, mains and mocktails. Tried both virgin mojito and pina colada, both were amazing. Hummus and kibbeh were delightful in the starters and not to be missed. The lamb tajine is too good and so is the mixed grill especially the absolutely delicious kebab. Very good environment, we were not rushed and had an incredible service experience. Prices are reasonable, came out to be about £28 pp with the drink, starter and main. A must visit if you’re around Ealing, we took an hour drive and no regrets.

Chose the place based on reviews and an urge to try Tagine somewhere new. Ordered the starters which were lovely - hummus, falafel and a cauliflower based starter. They were all great, particularly the hummus. Then come the Tagines - they looked and smelled great, but they seriously lacked flavour. The lamb Tagine's meat was very very chewy - I couldn't even eat half of it. We also ordered the fish tagine which just tasted like tomatoes cooked on fish - terrible. Overall not so great an experience. I wouldn't recommend Edit: the restaurant's reply does not seem to be linked to my review - they refer to 'mushy' vegetables that I don't mention anywhere. Maybe meant to be a response to someone else's review.

The food never arrived. The person I spoke to seemed not to believe that my food hasn’t been delivered and when I asked for a refund he said he’ll speak to “his senior” and call me back but he never did. Really poor service.

This place is worth a visit - I felt like a Queen at a feast, it was great. Accidentally ordered way too much food here and had a blast. Everything was very tasty and came out very fresh. We made a reservation ahead of time just in case but you may not need one. We got one of each of the set menus and some extras besides. The Tagline comes out bubbling and is very delicious!

Wonderful service and food was served for our relatives birthday celebrations !! Many thanks

All very good, just missed a litt

Authentic & Delicious! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible lunch experience! The Leila Batata was crispy and full of flavor, the Fattoush salad was fresh and zesty with the perfect crunch, and the Lamb Shawarma was tender, juicy, and packed with rich spices. The atmosphere was warm, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend—can't wait to come back!

Craving for Lebanese or Moroccan food best place to try on in Ealing. 4mins walk from Ealing Common station. Great ambiance and helpful staff. We tried their lamb tangni and vegetarian option mousaka bhatijan which is chickpea in tomato curry with aubergine n peppers. Highly recommended this place

We had made a last minute decision to go here, it was best decision I ever made. All these years I drove around and this place has been hiding under me. Food was excellent, atmosphere was great and everything was nice.

loved the tagins and leila batata oooommmmgggg!!!!! this is ma fav place from today*-*

Never had mezzes like this before, Such a lovely and cozy place to chill out and enjoy the foods,also friendly staffs😍👍

Only the tagine was good. Avoid everything else. Fattoush had no sumac which is key ingredient of this salad and the Harissa soup was pretty bland.

OHHHHH MY GOD. OHHHHH MY GOD I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT. I shall admit that we have never actually sat down and had a meal in the restaurant, for we solely order take-away from here. But it is wonderful, wonderful food, and I shall tell you just why. The rice? Sublime. With its mellow flavour and noodles mixed into it, oh, with every bite I just go crazy! The bread, it is soft yet firm, and makes for an excellent scooping tool for the rice, or to use as a dip in the thin sauce from the chicken liver (of which I shall talk about further on!). Those pickled vegetables, so vivid in their bright pink hue, a wonderful palate cleanser. THE MEAT! THE MEAT! I MUST TELL YOU ABOUT THE MEAT! Dear Lord above, it is the best in the world. A little dry, and thus it is perfect with the thin sauce mentioned previously. Chicken, lamb, or perhaps kofta meat, it is SPLENDID! The latter is so full of rich flavour, and the chicken and lamb, it is always charred in the most lovely way a fellow could think of. My mother is most fond of your aubergine dip, the name of which I can't quite recall, but rest assured it is delicious! And finally, the chicken liver. Oh, the chicken liver! So glorious it is! With that lemony aroma and deep flavour, gosh, there is something so magical about it. It is my favourite of all the dishes they serve here, nothing in the world could beat it. I love you. I love you.

We came here for on a meal deal (see the attached image) and had a fabulous time. The shared mezze was a very generous two plates with hot and cold dishes and LOTS of excellent flatbread. For the main courses, the mixed grill was a meat spectacular (with excellent rice), and the sea bass was light and delicate (with good chips). The beers are good too. So - can recommend, but watch for deals.

Absolutely amazing food, especially the starters. Make sure you try hummus, I believe its the best hummus you can find in london and the kibbeh is also wonderful. Mains are not as superior as the starters but I would definitely comeback for the starters over and over. Also great hospitality and complimentary baklava was very tasty.

Raef and the team came to support an event we hosted at our Campus and they were a dream team. They were incredibly professional, communicative throughout the whole process, arrived early and even helped us with our set up. The event ran super smoothly and the food was absolutely amazing. Would 100% recommend for any event catering!!

The catering really played its part for the bridal shower I organised for my sister. The class, taste, look, everything made the event complete. Raef and his colleague really helped us aswell and compromised. The whole process was so easy and efficient and it was one less worry I could tick off. 10/10!

We wanted to go to Leila for quite a while and we finally made it! We were nicely impressed by the food and the service! Not only we (the adults) enjoyed the food but also our children! The owner of the restaurant is super friendly and so is the staff! Had many dishes from the menu, the lamb tagine (delicious!!!!) with couscous, the chicken pastila (lovely!!!), califlower with tahini (yummy), amongst many other dishes! 100% recommend this place!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Leila Catring restaurant for my daughter's bridal shower, and I cannot express enough how amazing the experience was. From the very beginning, Raef the manager was professional, and dedicated to ensuring every detail was perfect. The catering service was nothing short of luxurious, with beautifully presented dishes that were as delicious as they were elegant. Raef and his team went above and beyond to make the event memorable, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and warmth. My daughter and all our guests were incredibly impressed, and the entire day was made even more special thanks to Raef’s exceptional service. I highly recommend Raef and his catering team for any special event!

So disappointed - this place could be brilliant if someone actually cared about it . I first visited 7 years ago and it was a cute restaurant with character, very friendly service, nice food but maybe a little over priced. Now it's just totally run down, looks untidy (random things like boxes and plates on the floor) and unhygienic unfortunately. Just look at the toilets (broken seat and not clean)- if they are happy with that on show it makes you wonder what's hidden in the kitchen. Anyways food was not nice at all- sorry Chicken was incredibly dry in every chicken dish ordered- could not finish the food. The starters were so disappointing- small portions but also bland. The spinach pastry was so chewy with very filling. Portions were small for the price- our waiter did warn us of this which made me think others had probably complained about it in the past. hummus was great but served with the cheap thin pitta bread and not taditional morrocan or Lebanese bread. We asked asked for the heating to be turned on and was told they would but they didnt so we dinned with coats on. We asked for extra portion of garlic sauce (1 portion between 6 poeple was ridiculous) and were given a much small portiom in a tiny pot- that's just poor service. To the owners- I get times might be hard for businesses right now but we spent almost £200 today and felt cheated. Please do better.

Wow what a lovely experience myself and my son had here. I had hummus and soft flat bread, which was beautifully presented and by far the best I've ever had before !! followed by lamb tagine, the flavours were incredible, well presented, served with cous cous, the lamb was melt in the mouth, so tender, with the sweetness of the prunes. My son had a mixed grill served with chips and salad, again plentiful, and well presented with flavoursome mixed grilled meat. I look forward to returning, with friends and family to experience this wonderfull little place again.

So our x2 mixed grills consisted of fried chicken wings and x1 kofte style lamb kebab. Not what we were expecting. We were disappointed this evening.

The food doesn't test like Moroccan

Exceptionally good food, tasty and fragrant, and with friendly and helpful service. A great dining experience.

Brilliant all round. Great food

Enjoyed dinner at Leila..! Best (halal)food with deliciousness of mock tails and after meals kunafa & tea boosted eupepsia…. Mahima Raju bhai(staff) gave us excellent service throughout leaving the restaurant. Mahima Raju offers excellent service and delicious food. The staff is friendly, and the dishes are consistently flavorful. Highly recommended for a great dining experience!

To Mahima Raju I had an absolutely delightful experience at Leila, the Lebanese restaurant, and I couldn’t be more impressed with both the service and the food. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a wonderful meal. A special shout-out goes to Mahima Raju, who provided outstanding service throughout the entire dining experience. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt well taken care of. The food was nothing short of amazing! The flavors were authentic, fresh, and perfectly balanced. I especially enjoyed the healthy salad – it was a delightful combination of crisp vegetables and zesty dressing, making it a refreshing start to the meal. The dishes were flavorful, filling, and left me feeling satisfied without the heaviness often associated with rich meals. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere, Leila is the place to go. I highly recommend it, and I look forward to my next visit!

Great little middle eastern in Ealing serving some great dishes from Morocco and Lebanon. The hummous is the best I have tasted in a long while. Great vegetarian section too. Mahi and the team are great - polite, respectful and helpful. Very welcoming and highly recommend. Will visit again

Mahi was amazing as a waiter ! Thanks

This is one of my worst experience in moroccan food. The food quality, taste and packaging from this place is very disappointing. I ordered on uber eats and by the time I received my food, everything was leaked out and it was due to the packaging. The food is expensive and not even worth trying. Fattoush Salad was very watery and it was not even the sauce. Very acidic and all bread croutons were soaked. Was not fresh and lettuces were already soggy. The sauce leaked out from the box and gone all over dishes. Kibbehs are very dry and not fresh. They taste and smell unusual. The only positive point was Tahini Cauliflower and I guess it was because of the tahini lemon sauce and the crunchy cauliflower. Spices in Zaalouk was very stronger than the taste of the dish. I strongly advise you to not try this. Meat Tagine was slightly better option among what we ordered. The meat was well cooked and soft. The food was very watery and did not have a good texture overall. Chicken wrap was very dry too. The salad inside was very little and it was mostly bread. Overall my order was very disappointing and not recommending this place. Mixed grill was all burnt and dry. Tastes very bitter and most of it not edible.

Incredible food and service the owner, raef the owner is so welcoming and friendly. They take care of your needs and I honestly have never had better food. Would highly recommend you get down and eat here ! Thank you so much guys

Mahi who served us was great. The food was great and the service was great.

Mahi was an excellent guide and host - helping us choose the most delicious dishes and steer clear of things that didn’t suit our tastes. Quick with the delicious food, helpful and courteous and ready with a quick joke - Mahi was the ultimate host for our delicious diner. First time here but will definitely be back for the food and good service.

The food was excellent and Mahi was amazing at explaining all the different dishes. Great experience and great food!!

Really enjoyed the food! Mahi was a very good server and was very attentive.

Great gluten-free and veggie options!

First visit & we Will definitely be back. Food is amazing & service is excellent Mami our waiter was so attentive & friendly. Wonderful Evening.

The food is unreal and so tasty. Mahi’s service was also amazing!

The food was amazing and Mahi was so lovely :))

Liked the shawarma wrap. Had a juicy and tangy touch. Mix grill was good, could have been better in terms of chicken felt little bit dry and bread could have been more to be eaten with the same. All is all, worth the money

Popped in here with the misses on Friday night. We didn't book but we're given a table without problem. The staff were friendly and Mahi our waiter made us feel welcome and well looked after. Starters arrived promptly and were all delicious. He asked for 10 minutes notice ahead of serving the mains so they arrived hot. Everything was top and I wouldn't change anything about the experience. Wish more places were like this.

Loved the food, traditional cuisine was amazing. Service was great, thank you Mahi! Restaurant looks amazing we will definitely return!

Clean, courteous staff, good food and server Mahi was nice and professional. Good birthday meal from my dear wife. Keep the good work.

Absolutely love the food and the service, especially by Mahi, it was really good the first time, I returned back for my husband's birthday dinner within a month! Thanks for making his day extra special'

Thankmyou for the amazing food. Great hospitality and service from Mahi!

Went here last night for a farewell dinner for my son. What an amazing experience. Everything was perfect and the food plentiful and out of this world. The tagine chicken was to die for. Will definitely be back. Thank you. Ronnie

Lovely food, with loads of vegetarian options. Very generous portion sizes. Would recommend the Taktouka. Very kind service from our waiter Mahi.

My friend and I, ordered delivery from Leila and I was amazed how delicious everything was! It was the takeaway we had in London. Now, we know that there is a restaurant and we will visit! Whoever Leila is, we are grateful to her for the food and we love her ❤️

I was looking forward to coming to a morroccan restaurant but my experience here was disappointing. The Bottomless brunch platter @ £50 for two fell below my expectations, there was no meat and portions were not plentiful as I expected. The £50 platter is not worth the money...... The restaurant lacked atmosphere and could do with extensive refurbishment. I'm not impressed!

This place is a lifesaver with good tabbouleh. Very good tagine dishes will leave you stuffed which is awesome. Also their lamb kofte is very good. I would not be likely to stay for dinner given the decor and atmosphere. Pastilla was over microwaved but good for those who like sweet and savoury.

Very disappointed No taste of Morocco at all Seems food had been reheated in microwave Wouldn’t recommend

This is from Saudi Eats in London, with 60k+ followers across social platforms. Instagram & Tiktok: saudieats.ksa If you’re seeking an authentic Lebanese or Moroccan dining experience, we highly recommend this place. You can avail 10% off as our follower with the code SAUDIEATS10, 🔥👀😱 The food is absolutely mouth-watering, beautifully presented, and perfectly complemented by the scenic natural view through the glass windows. 🌴The owner is warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful. 💯✨ We were truly impressed by the rich flavors and the quality of the ingredients. Our meal included a mixed grill platter, Fattoush, hummus, moutabbal, batata harra, chicken tagine, couscous, Moroccan mint tea, and a selection of cocktails. Every dish was delicious, and the portions were generous. 🤤 The cozy ambiance, with its authentic Moroccan and Lebanese decor, added to the overall experience, making it a memorable dining spot.👌

We came here for my sisters birthday, a party of 9, on a Saturday afternoon and we had a great time! The entire time we were left to go at our own pace and were never rushed. The staff were also great with the kids and gave them several activity bags which they absolutely loved. The food was pretty nice, it did take a while to come out but I wonder if it was because there were so many of us. Most of us had the mixed grill which was delicious and super huge portions. We ended up taking away a lot of food. The meats were nice but a little dry and the lamb was cold sadly. But the flavours were great and all the starters were tasty too. Overall a good experience.

Typical Lebanese Moroccan cuisine place. The dishes are of excellent quality with typical Middle Eastern and North African flavours. Generous portions. Friendly and prepared staff. Really recommended.

This is a truly great dining experience. The food is absolutely delicious, the portions are generous as well! The customer service is welcoming, friendly and professional, while the environment is very cosy. It is my favourite restaurant in Ealing!

Super local vibe, delicious Lebanese food. Friendlty & attentive service. We have visisted Leila 5+ times in the past year and cannot recommend highly enough. Really good value with 20% off deal if you book (sometimes!)

Came across Leila while in Ealing visiting friends. Great cosy vibe, amaxing authentic food, the lamb tagine is a must as is the hummous, creamy and fresh. The hospitality is amazing too, staff on hand to help make decisions and explain dishes. They have a great vegan menu too. Will be back to try the Moroccan Afternoon Tea. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend. The menu is great with lots of choice. The restaurant itself is cosy and welcoming and the staff are very good. Highly recommend

Good food! Nice interior design cosy restaurant excellent customer service from Mahi!

A little quiet as we were in early but lovely food (a good amount too!), fair pricing and great service from Mahi 😊

Maravillosa noche con súper comida y personal encantador. . Recibí una cálida bienvenida y todo sobre el restaurante es genial. Me encantó la plata libanesa y la decoración. Presley es el gerente y él y todo el personal son encantadores.

Don't be fooled by the positive reviews. The starters were stale, microwaved frozen food. They use canned tomatoes with a chemical taste. The food has a fermented, strange taste although it shouldn't. I have a strong gut, but the food doesn't sit right in my stomach and I feel nauseous now. It was not well cooked. Go to any other restaurant other than this one. Edit: This is absolutely not a fake review. I was truly disappointed after coming to this restaurant, we did feel sick afterwards. This is my account name. I put my full name down for reservation.

Very nice authentic food, nice atmosphere, quick service, great value for money.

We have had the pleasure of working with Raef and his incredible team at Leila Catering for three events over the last few years, including two weddings, and we could not be more satisfied with their services. Raef’s dedication to providing spectacular food and exceptional service is evident in every detail of the events he caters. Raef is deeply involved in the coordination of each event, ensuring everything runs smoothly. His calm and composed nature helps to create a stress-free atmosphere, which is invaluable on such important occasions. The food, without exception, has been extraordinary—beautifully presented and delicious, impressing all of our guests. Our guests have consistently left our events raving about the food and service provided by Leila Catering. If you are looking for a catering company that delivers top-notch food and outstanding service, we highly recommend Leila Catering. Raef and his team are some of the best in the business!

Our experience and food was great, our server Mahi was lovely and really helpful!

Mahi provided excellent service

I recently dined at Leila restaurant and, as always, the food was absolutely amazing. The dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, and showcased the best of their culinary expertise. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. The atmosphere was pleasant enough, making it a generally enjoyable visit. However, there are a few areas where Leila could improve. The service from the staff needs attention—there was a noticeable delay in clearing empty plates, and we frequently had to ask for additional cutlery and cups. This took away from an otherwise smooth dining experience. The condition of the toilets was disappointing. The sinks were extremely small and the facilities in both the male and female restrooms were not suitable for regular use, let alone accessible for disabled patrons. An upgrade in this area is urgently needed. Overall, while the food and friendly staff deserve high praise, the service and facilities need significant improvement. My three-star rating reflects the excellent food and the warm service, but also the areas that require attention.

A restaurant with identity in its origins, great service, kindness at all times. My favorite dish Tagine Bill Lahme, with a lot of flavor, excellent texture of deep, delicate and very present flavors Grateful for the Tabouleh and Falafel. We enjoyed it enormously. Of course I will return. Highly recommended. 4.7/5
