Leila Windsor Reviews
A Delicious Meal!
My friends and I had a relaxing dining experience at Leila. We were not rushed and allowed to savor the flavors of each course. We started with a selection of appetizers before moving to our main course of chicken and lamb (so good I forgot to take photos). We capped off our meal with an ice cream treat topped with Lebanese cotton candy - so sweet and so good! I definitely recommend visiting Leila for a delicious dinner in a relaxed setting. You won't regret it!
Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly staff
There are many middle eastern restaurants to choose from in Detroit, but this place gives a different twist on common cuisine that's very creative. A lot of attention to detail. Everything tasted GREAT. Staff wonderful. Loved the open kitchen layout, can see the staff in action. Would recommend this place to anyone, def top 5 place to go in Detroit.
A new gem in Capital Park
What a wonderful new find. it is in Capital Park and was a really nice experience. Went here with several people from work for a holiday get-together, and we all loved the place. It has a great ambiance and the food was wonderful. We shared several things, Baba ganoush, Kibee Nayeh, beetroot and feta salad, Hummus, then ordered entrees, Ribs, Chicken Wings, Roasted Chicken, Salmon. The service was wonderful and attentive.
Great Restaurant
This is a genuinely terrific Lebanese restaurant. We are on the patio: It was a very nice setting. The food was terrific, and we had many vegetarian options. This is simply a great place for an evening out in Detroit.
Delicious authentic food
My first time at Leila and it definitely won’t be the last. As a middle eastern, I had high expectations for the food here as it is Lebanese based. The food and drinks exceeded my expectations. My favorite drink was the ‘Anne Hathaway’; perfectly sweet and smooth. The bread was always warm and soft. We dipped it in the hummus, lebneh, and confit garlic. All delicious apps. The fattoush was authentic and had that sour, sumac-y zing. For entrees we got the shish tawook; so juicy and flavorful and came with garlic, veggies, rice, and more bread, the arayes; it had the perfect texture; haloumi; perfectly crisp and salty; and the batata harra; spicy, crispy, and perfect. Overall definitely a must try restaurant for a chill night with good food and relaxing ambience. (+1 for valet at the door!)
Great visit
We stopped by for a quick snack (lebnah) and a drink. We made one more stop before having dinner elsewhere. Turns out Leila was the star of the night. Great service at the bar (three attentive bartenders), delicious drinks, fun urban atmosphere, and cool music all worked together to make one memorable visit.
Great find in Detroit
Came to Detroit to visit the Van Gogh show and hadn't done much research on where to eat. Stumbled upon Leila and we were lucky to get a table on Tuesday without a reservation. The space, service and food were excellent. The baba ghanouj was the best I've ever had. The hummus and hashwi was also memorable. In hindsight, my wife and I probably could have split one entree, or just ordered more items off of the mezze section to share, as we both left very full. I'm always excited when I'm able to order a bottle of Chateau Musar at a restaurant and the price for the bottle we ordered was reasonable. But, given its Lebanese roots and how good its wine menu was, my one criticism of Leila's is that it didn't also offer and promote some of the other very good wines that come from Lebanon. A small criticism and it won't stop me from returning if and when I'm back in Detroit.
Such a great place!
Incredible food! Many visits and everything we've tried has been great. Perfect spot for a date night or to bring friends who are visiting the city.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Leila Windsor at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Leila Windsor page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Leila Windsor to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Leila Windsor!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
