The most delicious spot on Staten Island — we drive here all the way from Brooklyn!
My friends and I are so glad we once discovered this restaurant — and ever since then, we’ve been coming back again and again. We live in Brooklyn, yet we happily drive to Staten Island just for this place, because the food here is genuinely delicious. So delicious that you simply want to return.
From the very first moment you feel warmth and the cozy atmosphere of a good home.
The dining room is neat, beautifully decorated, with lovely details and soft lighting — it’s a place where you truly enjoy sitting. The food is excellent, and the service deserves special praise.
The service at Lilya’s is truly outstanding.
The staff is warm, friendly, attentive — yet never intrusive.
We especially want to mention our wonderful server, Svetlana. She takes care of us almost every time we come, and she does it with such warmth that we always feel like welcomed guests.
Svetlana is very attentive, careful, and tactful, with a beautiful smile and the talent to create a great mood. You can see that she genuinely loves her job, and thanks to her, every visit feels especially pleasant. For that, we are very grateful.
Orders always arrive on time, the table setting is neat, and the dishes come out beautifully presented, hot, and fresh. You don’t just see the work — you feel their genuine desire to make guests happy. And that makes a huge difference.
And the food… The food here is excellent in every way.
• Foie gras with berry sauce — tender, aromatic, beautifully presented.
• Khachapuri — golden, perfectly cheesy — a real “wow.”
• Shish kebab — juicy, soft and tender.
• Grilled vegetables — bright, fragrant, perfectly cooked.
• Potatoes — very tasty, especially the Chef’s Special Smashed Potatoes.
• Solyanka — rich, hearty, served piping hot, just like it should be.
• Salads and appetizers — fresh, generous, and delicious.
• Potato pancakes — soft and golden.
We loved everything — from the presentation to the very last bite.
Every time we come here, we know everything will be excellent — and every time, it truly is.
For us, Lilya’s is a warm, delicious, and truly welcoming spot — perfect both for a meal and a lovely evening.

My wife and I came here for the first time. Recommended by my wife’s friend. Rusian,Eastern European, Mediterranean food. Prices were a little high for the portions that you received. Some dishes were a little too salty for our tastes. Very quite, but it was a Wednesday night. The service was excellent. I diffently will go back to try other dishes, and to try their dessert, unfortunately we did not have any on this visit. Large menu, big variety.

deserts menu and its quality does not match the price! mushy texture, and tiny portion for $9 plus?! Find another baker/bakery. Salads – excellent presentation and very tasty. Waiters – outstanding service – THANK YOU! Musik acceptable, don’t bring politics, no need to show off, we all have different opinion and attitude. Overall, people around friendly and kind.

Me and my husband ,we were guests at the birthday celebration in this restaurant for the first time. We drove from Queens, the atmosphere is cozy, food is more than delicious ,and great service. After each dish our plates were changed. I was shocked. Thanks to the owners and staff for such incredible memories and tasty food. We would definitely come back and recommend to all of our friends!

Best Armenian barbecue in the entire tristate and that’s a fact! Now this is the authentic taste we needed all along. Can’t wait to try other dishes from the menu – they have everything I missed. Delicious food and fantastic service: qualifies at least for one of Michelin star restaurant’s criteria – which is WORTH THE TRIP- if you’re coming from Manhattan, take the ferry! It’s so fun!

The restaurant was nice. It was for my nephew’s first birthday party and the setup was well done, even though the space wasn’t that large. It’s not a very big restaurant. Our party took up the whole place. Service was very good. They were on top of things like changing your plate out.
I didn’t touch most of the stuff but to be fair, my sister-in-law did order a whole LOT of food. I didn’t even know what most of the stuff was. Russian food in general tends to be a lot of tubers and pickled items. For instance, we had an entire plate of pickled fruit that completely grossed out the kids. My son couldn’t stop gagging at the food on his plate. He was hungry, so we gave him a little bit of everything so he could try. To his credit, he did give it all a taste but he couldn’t get through the first bite. Then the smell made him want to hurl, so we just had to remove the whole plate from him. There was a pickled herring that even the Russians at my table wouldn’t eat.
There was one very delicious entree. It was some kind of battered fish with white sauce, rosemary and lemon. It was very good, super clean and tasted like really moist white meat chicken. Overall, though, the food wasn’t fantastic and would not revisit.

We recently celebrated birthday party in Café Gourmand (Lilya’s Restaurant & Grill) on Staten Island, and we were deeply impressed with staff and management who works there.
Their service was consistent across the board — from front-of-house staff to management. It was clear that they take pride in their work and in providing a high standart of service even during busier times.
Their menu is impressively international: Armenian, Georgian, Eastern European, Russian, Mediterranean, French, Greek, Ukrainian, and American dishes.
If you’re looking for a place that combines excellent food with top-notch professionalism and a warm, inviting staff — whether for a casual dinner, family gathering, or event — this is a standout .
Highly recommended for anyone who values both quality food and hospitality.
