Cafe Lili

I stopped in for lunch between engagements and I'm glad I did. I had a vegetarian plate (3 sides) and a couple of meat pies, and will probably order a little less next time. I ordered the vegetarian plate with hummus, tabbouleh, and baba ganoush. The portions were great. The meat pies? They were amazing. Service was also very quick, which I appreciated. I'll definitely be back.

I was disappointed with the food. As someone familiar with Lebanese cuisine, I can honestly say this did not taste Lebanese at all. The shawarma lacked flavor and felt mostly like bread, and the tabbouleh was extremely sour with far too much lemon and no balance. Authentic Lebanese food is known for fresh herbs and well-balanced seasoning, and unfortunately this missed the mark. That being said, the owner was very friendly and welcoming, and the staff were polite. I truly hope the food quality and authenticity improve because the customer service was good.

Cozy family restaurant near the Galleria. Karla had Kibbe and we shared a salad with the mixed grill. The beef was tender, kafta was tasty and the chicken was a little dry and could have used more seasoning. Karla enjoyed the vermicelli rice. Nice atmosphere.

Overall great Lebanese self-service spot. Some dishes could be more flavorful IMO. The stuffed eggplant and kebop lacked some seasoning. But awesome atmosphere for a casual meal

Cafe Lili never disappoints. I had the grilled redfish with a side salad today, and the redfish was absolutely amazing, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and done just right. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very nice. If you’re a fish lover, this is a must-try. Highly recommend!

Fresh and flavorful Lebanese cuisine. Nice atmosphere and good service. They have small market items such as olive oil and other items for choice of purchase as well. Simple flavors.. if you like food on the hotter, spicier and oiler side, then stick to other cuisines. This is simple light and rustic.

The Kibbeh was the best thing that we tried. We normally only go here for the Kibbeh because its amazing: crispy, filled with meat, flavorful, not too oily. However, today we decided to try the chicken shawarama as well, which I would personally rate a 2 out of 10. Horrible. Its filled with strong, bad tasting garlic sauce, normal grilled chicken with no flavor at all, and soggy lettuce. It had far more pickles than chicken. Absolutely terrible. Its truly a sad shawarma. Also, the bread was old and not fresh.

I should’ve given him 5 star, but he said , no chicken shawarma. Other than 5 star. Very friendly gentleman running this restaurant. Their coffee is phenomenal . Very aromatic pre made kind. V clean and v nice clientele with friends and families. I would recommend for quick or leisure time .
