Lillah means “Beautiful Night” in Arabic and we believe that blending modern and traditional Middle Eastern food is a celebration of culinary evolution and cultural heritage. It allows us to preserve the flavours of the past while embracing innovation for the future.

Lillah celebrates all things Middle Eastern in surrounds of archways, a feature skylight and exposed brick walls, creating a space resembling a courtyard. A façade of white and black geometric tiles gives way to an interior vibe of grey washed wood table settings and ivy-covered ceiling, enticing diners to linger over meals with a cocktail in hand.

Perhaps starting your adventure with the beautiful Old School Baba Ganoush. For the main affair, delve into the likes of our most popular Sticky Date 12h Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder and the Cauliflower Falafel with creamy hummus, muhammara & crispy falafel crust.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My goodness! What an absolute gem of a place in Lane Cove! Amazing starter dishes- especially the haloumi and the calamari cooked to perfection. The baba ganoush was stellar- presentation and taste. The sticky date lamb shoulder…. NO WORDS! So soft and juicy. Not a massive meat fan, so didn’t even take a picture, but I regret it. Chicken shawarma also Delish. Honestly blew me away every dish was just amazing! Will be back for more!” — Jess Lee

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Celebrated my mums birthday here and ate off the Experience Menu. Amazing and personalised service, the food, flavour, and execution was out of this world. This is the perfect place if there’s mixed dietary requirements, great vegan and gluten free options that don’t compromise on flavour. The team went above and beyond and really made mum feel special and celebrated which is 7 stars from me. Thank you! We will definitely be back.” — Kimberley Edge
