Leila
CH Projects' North Park showpiece: a Middle Eastern night market of carved wood, lanterns and a starry ceiling, with kabobs and taboon bread coming off live fire.
Leila opened on 30th Street in July 2024 after roughly four years in the making, and the room shows it: carved millwork, tapestries, tile, an 18-foot fountain and a ceiling full of stars. The menu moves across Persian, Lebanese and wider regional cooking, from hummus, muhammara and a salatim platter to kabobs with barbari and toum and a lamb shank served with tahdig. Naan and pita come straight out of the wood-fired oven, and a full cocktail bar keeps the night going late on weekends. Book ahead; this is one of North Park's hardest tables.
Best for: Group dinners and date nights that want a bit of theater
