LEILA Restaurant – San Diego, CA | OpenTable

Leila is a wonderful Mediterranean Fusion restaurant with exotic Turkish, Moroccan, Persian and Indian flavors. They serve the best falafel I’ve ever had.

We had a wonderful time spending an evening here. Reservations highly recommended, but they do have a bar inside you can sit at (open seating).

We ordered the Salatim platter and the Soltani platter. Was a bit much for three people, but would be perfect for four people so you can try a little bit of everything if you are a first timer.

The drinks are a little pricey, but that is standard at CH locations. The Tangier Twilight was fun and felt never ending although if you are not a fan of warm/sweet drinks, this would not be for you. It does serve 3-4 people.

The vibe was relaxed and great for dinner with friends. Staff all very friendly.

I celebrated my 50th birthday at Leila last night. The food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. A bit too dark and the music a bit too loud for conversations. The later being the only thing I would strongly recommend be changed. Our server Natalie was exceptionally good. The signature cocktails were excellent as well.

Leila is an out of this world experience. Stunning atmosphere that takes you to a Moroccan garden with a starry sky and river running through the restaurant. Beautiful tapestries and lamps abound.

The food is incredible. It’s elevated Mediterranean fusion that is worth the long wait for a reservation. We had the salatim platter, chicken shwarma hummus, and soltani platter, which were perfect for our party of five (plus a little box of leftovers). I didn’t partake, but my family loved the drink menu as well! I had some tea with honey which really hit the spot.

And let’s not forget the knafeh sundae, which was so good I didn’t get a chance to photograph before we ate it. Not too sweet, well balanced, and true to middle eastern flavors of orange blossom and pistachio. My Jordanian mom was in heaven (we all were).

The server was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. Our visit lasted about 90 minutes for a full dinner service. The pacing was perfect so we could savor the flavors throughout the meal.

We had a great experience at Leila. It was hard getting reservations for a party of 6 but we finally was able to get a table for dinner on a weeknight that worked for all of us. It’s easier getting reservations for parties of four or less. Reservations are highly recommended.

The starry lights weren’t working that night but the decor inside was beautiful. Everything was very ornate and lush.

Our server was great. He helped us decide what to order and had good recommendations too. We really enjoyed everything we ordered. We will be back to try more things off their menu!

Parking is easy if you park in the North Park garage down the street. It was a flat $5 fee.

So we’ve been waiting a long time to come here and eat. We took my parents for their birthday. The sampler platter for the appetizer was a delicious variety we all enjoyed it. The shared meat dinner platter was also great. We added a skewer of salmon and steak to it.

It’s a given, but parking always sucks in that area and my parents are handicapped so it was quite a walk for them.

The birthday dessert was not great but the Sundae we shared was good. The server Fiona was very efficient and great at explaining all the food. She answered all of our questions with her at the ready knowledge of the menu and items.

I will say after looking at the reviews I was hesitant to go for dinner and be disappointed in the food. But wow this place was EXCELLENT! the service was great and honestly the atmosphere was perfect for a date night ! I thought it would be loud and over stimulating but it wasn’t if anything very relaxing and each table was private and you couldn’t hear other people conversations around you. The chicken was excellent and so juicy ! My partner got the salmon and said it was delicious and flavorful. We also got Muhammara and wow it was soo good !

I was visiting from Canada and craving authentic Persian food and I’m so glad I found this place! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere took my breath away. The decor was absolutely spectacular lanterns glowing softly, beautiful Persian carpets, and a ceiling full of twinkling lights that made it feel like dining under the stars.
The food was equally amazing rich flavors, perfectly cooked kebabs, and the most delicious tahdig I’ve had outside of Iran. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of authentic taste.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines such stunning ambiance with genuinely delicious Persian cuisine. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food and an unforgettable dining experience!

We absolutely loved Leila. The food was amazing and full of flavor. Price was decent and they had shareable portions. The decor is truly beautiful and unique. Our server, Tina, was fantastic and made us feel so well taken care of. Just make sure to plan ahead because reservations book up months in advance. It’s totally worth it though. We can’t wait to go back and highly recommend it.

Leila in North Park never disappoints. Charles behind the bar was amazing friendly attentive and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The kitchen staff bringing out each dish with such warmth really stood out everything was delivered with care and a genuine smile. Great food great service and an overall great vibe. The ambience is something that you would see in a movie. You’re literally dining under stars, with waterfalls nearby, an upstairs filled with exotic carpets with an energy that is unmatched. The Knafeh Sundae at the end was the most decadent dessert that I’ve ever tried, it blends crispy, cheesy Knafeh with pistachio ice cream.
