Where Modern Beirut
Meets Downtown Detroit
Rooted in the Lebanese tradition of generous Sunday family dinners, Leila brings the youthful cosmopolitan energy of modern Beirut to the beating heart of downtown Detroit to offer a next-generation Middle Eastern dining experience.
With high ceilings that echo with history and floor-to-ceiling windows that open up onto Capitol Park, Leila blurs the line between old and new. As the city around it thrives with renewal and revival, the modern Lebanese restaurant stands as a testament to the enduring power of family traditions, abundant hospitality, and the life-affirming culinary art of the Middle Eastern mezze. At Leila, every meal is a celebration, every guest is treated like family, and the dining room buzzes with kinetic urban energy that stays with you long after you’ve left.
