Leila is a dining and nightlife experience that draws inspiration from the cultural and culinary connections of the Middle East, the Persian Gulf and Northern India. “Leila” shares the same meaning — daughter of the night — in all three languages of the regions represented on the menu: Arabic, Farsi and Urdu.

Leila’s menu created by Chef Jassi Bindra, will pay homage to a millennia of gastronomic traditions in these culturally rich regions without flattening them to mere fusion. Instead, diners will embark on a journey that highlights shared common culinary threads, from a reverence for street food to the myriad unique cooking methods honed over centuries.

Leila’s luxe and inviting design welcomes guests to gather, unwind and experience the convivial and communal aspects of dining in these rich food cultures, which are known for their passionate love of food, drink, and family.

Glad you asked how my experience at Leila in Tysons Corner was on July 2, 2022, as my wife & I were looking forward to dining there again after having a great lunch there a few months ago. When we showed up for our reservation three days ago, we found Leila completely closed up with a heavy-duty combination lock firmly affixed to the handles of the front doors (of which I have a photo). Needless to say we were surprised, disappointed and miffed. Also FYI, Leila required my credit card information to hold my reservation made through OpenTable. Fortunately, I have not seen a charge, but will continue to monitor my AmEx account. With Leila closed, we instead dined at the nearby Seasons 52 where we were unable to use OpenTable to make a reservation as your app showed me dining at Leila at that time. Disappointing experience all around with Leila and the fact that there was no indication with the OpenTable app that it was anything but open and accepting reservations. RIP Leila.

Awesome energy on a Saturday night! Food was super flavorful and music was pumping! Loved the DJ’s mix that night. For allergy conscious people this is a little risky place because their understanding of gluten fre swad a little lacking but we were able to make some informed choices even then. Definitely coming here again.

If you have ever seen Catfish or even know what Catfish is, then this restaurant is the epitome of being catfished! We heard so much about this restaurant and just had to check it out. We went here for date night and was extremely disappointed. Our reservation was at the start of dinner hour on a Saturday. First to walk in for opening. Half the menu was not available because it was out of stock. Mined you the menu consist of only about 5 or 6 entrées. 3 were unavailable. When we finally ordered and the appetizer was brought out it was cold. At first we didn’t complain. Then when our meals arrived, my husband’s rice was refrigerator cold. He told the waiter that it was cold. The waiters response was well the meat is warm so that should help 😩 we asked for fresh rice and the waiter had an attitude. The vibe is poor. Service is horrible. Food is hit or miss.

Limited menu and they were out of several items (how does an Indian restaurant run out of lamb?) Limited beer selection; specifically no Indian beers, only 3 domestic beers. Outdoor dining was pleasant. The checkout process is electronic with a tablet but requires that you receive a receipt by email. Unfortunately I did not receive my receipt by email (yes I double-checked the email address that I entered)

The atmosphere was great and I will go back for that anytime! Food was OK - kebab was a little dry. Butter chicken and naan were great. Biggest complaint is that as a persian fusion place - the tea that was served was a tea bag!!! Big no no. The service was OK. Not the most pleasant but it was fine.

One of the managers asked us to move our table in the middle of eating next to hookahs (we don’t smoke). When we asked why he stated they had reservations for a party of 14 and 7 and they didn’t have any room. When we voiced our concern about how it wasn’t our problem he proceeded to let us know that we would be kicked out 2 hours after our reservation so it wouldn’t matter. He never introduced himself to us. He was demanding and rude. Ruined our first time there. Would not recommend.
