Halal Reviews for ilili DC Southwest Waterfront

This is by far the best restaurant in DC! I go out to eat a LOT so claiming this is huge. The aesthetics/ design is so beautiful. I felt like I was transported to a garden but indoors! The customer service was perfect! Our server gave us great suggestions and was always checking in. The food was to die for! From the meats, to the salads and even the puffy bread they serve…perfect 👌🏼🤌🏻 Drinks were also perfect! One thing though…I wish they did something for my boyfriends birthday. Maybe they forgot but that would have made it even more special. I can’t wait to go back!

Definitely have to go back for the meat platter. I went with the fish. It was alright but my mistake was not going for the actual meat. The venue is nice. Great views, great location to walk around before or after your meal. The service was fantastic, had zero issues, our waiter was great. All the sides were really good. Definitely stop in for a unique blend of flavors.

Had dinner here and the food was fantastic. You need to order hummus, it was so creamy and smooth topped with pine nuts….we’re still thinking about the hummus! We wanted to try the mixed grill but we came late so our waiter, Charles recommended the chicken instead and he was right, it was juicy and flavorful. We had the chicken with restaurant’s signature rice and not to forget, fig sauce was so mouthwatering! The restaurant and Charles complimentary us with baklava for the celebration which was also very good! Our waiter, Charles was so friendly, thank you Charles again for making mothers day very special and memorable for us!

The food, cocktails🍸 and service at ilili were superb. I initially reserved this restaurant because of the interior and vibe but the previously mentioned matched the interior beauty. The experience here was top notch and what you would expect from a higher end restaurant. Some of the highlights 🌟 were the Charred Octopus, Libne, Cocktails, and Candy Bar Dessert. Pretty much everything we experienced here was amazing and how fine dining should be.

Very cute ambiance and interior decor! Seating plan is a bit tight since they try to accommodate so many people and this is a popular spot. Service is excellent! However, the food was not as good as I was expecting. Way too much spices/scents used that it subtracted from the savor of the meal.
