Leyla Fine Lebanese Cuisine

Charleston


A welcome respite from all the Lowcountry and fried food, this elegant Lebanese restaurant is a favorite with locals. You can't really go wrong, so you might as well do it all with a sampler of hummus, tabouleh, baba ghanoush, falafel, fried kibbe and lots of other goodness. There are plenty of good vegetarian options.

The space itself is very polished and chic, featuring inlaid brick and tasteful mini-chandeliers.
