ilili is where guests celebrate life and share sundry blends of modern and traditional Lebanese cuisine. Executive Chef and Owner Philippe Massoud excellently crafts a melting pot of Lebanese, Levantine, Mediterranean inspired cuisine mixed with New York attitude. Flavorful herbs and spices combine textures to appease broad-based palates. Ilili on lower Fifth Avenue in Manhattan (circa 2007) was one of the first restaurants to open in what is now known as NoMad, the Washington DC location opened in 2021, and the midtown location opened in November 2025.
