Ilili DC

Traditional Lebanese-Mediterranean recipes with a modern twist. at The Wharf in Southwest DC
**Closed 2:30-5pm Sat-Sun**

This longstanding NYC favorite opened in DC in October 2021, bringing share-friendly mezza and mains inside a breathtaking space inspired by Lebanese courtyard gardens.

Chef/Owner Philippe Massoud crafts a blend of Lebanese, Levantine, and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine using fresh clean ingredients and flavorful herbs and spices.

Philippe continues a three-generations legacy of hospitality within the Massoud family, hailing from Beirut. He remains resolute in properly introducing guests to Lebanese-Mediterannean food (so long, store-bought hummus!).
The interior was built using sustainable materials and custom items from Lebanese artisans. Dinner + Sunday brunch.
