It seems the restauranteurs spend more money on aesthetic than gastronomy. I think it's also important to note that service was top notch. Everyone was extremely kind and professional.

I've been a customer of this restaurant for the last 4 years. And 4 years ago, the quality and…read moreportions of the dishes were outstanding. I don't know what happened to this place, but the last 2 times I've ordered food from them I noticed a dramatical change in their standards. The Alamanara salad is not what it used to be. Now, it is basically 95 % green lettuce and a scarce amount of tomatoes and cucumbers, a very tiny portion of Feta cheese and one thin slice of a black olive. All this with almost undectable amount of dressing. I've talked to the manager the first time and it was fixed. But the second time was to go so I sent them a message through facebook. 1.5 hours later I received a call from the owner asking me to tell the cashier next time I order food from them. I am sorry there will be no next time. They lost a customer. It used to be a good place. I do not recommend it now. You pay way to much for the food quality and portions. It is not worth it. There is a ton of other good places in the same area with same prices and higher standards.

While trying to correct the double booking I think my request to sit downstairs was lost. That being said, the person at the front worked with me and found me a spot downstairs and I couldn't have been happier! This was a special birthday surprise for my boyfriend and of course I just wanted it to be perfect. At first I was so disappointed we might not get the experience we wanted but they didn't skip a beat and found us a spot! The place is absolutely beautiful. You really feel like you're in another country and every little detail was thought of. I've honestly never seen a prettier restaurant, including other Consortium locations! The food was incredible and we had so many leftovers to take home. The chicken shawarma hummus and salmon kabobs were my favorites but everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. My boyfriend said the steak kabob was one of the best he's ever had! We also got two drinks, the Rug Dealer and Camel Clutch, that were really unique but so yummy! The server was incredibly knowledgeable about gluten and helped me order items in a way that would be safe for me. Lastly, since it was my boyfriend's birthday they brought out a special desert and printed his NAME on a macaron! Such a special extra touch that really delighted him and made him feel like star of the night. I can't wait to go back to Lelia's again, I have no idea how they have anything less than 5 star reviews across the board. Take it from me and ignore the negative Nancies, you won't be disappointed!

Also, I don't understand how a restaurant like this runs out of tea at the start of their dinner service (which is when the restaurant opens for the day). In terms of decor, the upstairs area was pretty cool compared to the downstairs area. I have been to Morocco and would say it's very comparable. I think overall, if you want to go here for the vibes, definitely go for it but it is super hard to make reservations so plan ahead.

Two phone calls & having it suggested that we present ourselves & register, then expect a wait. My choice was one of the Argentinean restaurant on Blvd Ag Caliente, wife wanted to dine at a a place in Plaza Chapultepec. We left our names @ the Chapu resaurant and were told a table may be available in approx 40+ min, or longer. Wife suggested we walk up Ave Sonora & we strolled over to the Argentine restaurant in that direction. Wife asked if we wanted a drink. We made our way to Word Bar, which was empty. After a frisk & bag review, complete w/ a punk, tough-guy stairdown we were in & out of est. & left. Crossed the street to a 2nd, empty bar. There I asked for a Glenfiddich neat w/ bartender. He tells me to ask the waiter/security/doorman. Given copies of a plain, no-frills menu while I waited, I asked for a Scotch only to be told food needed to be ordered! Really?? We were looking for a special Valentine's meal & were being insisted to order food @ an empty, no-anything special bar?? Again we declined, walked away. Walked to the back of the lot to the restaurant Tabule, thinking only of reviewing a menu & returning to see about our standby status. At Tabule hostess shared that everything was booked & no tables were available; led into the lower branch which had approx 10 tables w/ partners or small groups of diners as the young lady went for the scan page for us to input & review the menu. Menu was intriguing, seemed even to have great possibilities. As we walked out, I said to the young lady that there seemed to be room in the dining room. She said again, all tables were reserved but that she could ask. A few min later the hostess returned and shared there was 1 table available on the 2nd floor. We enter the 2nd fl & there is a- six peeps table, 3 couples @ tables, & 5 or 6 empty tables! Really?? In Tabule, food was delicious, sufficient ++, relaxed & timed service were all impeccable. Patrons are guided through a mostly ala carte menu (until the meat dish) ranging fr appetizers, salads, pastas to the meats/ seafood/ fowl. Pictures of plates & portions are below. Dishes of note: both appetizers-- bbq baby back ribs & mango & in special chef's chile/bar-b-que sauce (salsa) & the grilled on oak shrimp & baby octopus in butter... ummm!! Next we shared a cesar salad, which was creamy but overly salted. The wife ordered grilled marinated, salmon w/ fresh, handmade pasta & I had baked raviolli stuffed w/ veal & portabello. Both dishes had excellent & subtle seasonings w/ portions large enough for us to bring home leftovers, along w/ two ribs. We were asked about ordering dessert & took the challenge, sharing the date/ nut tart w/ chocolate sauce bathed in ice cream!! It had an absolutely delicate & mild flavorings, along with the mild sweetness of the ice cream. Our pre-Valentine's Day dinner had great, fresh, & tasty flavors/ subtle spiciness and portions were fantastic! Add to this the pleasant setting w/ moderated popular music & our server Hector who had a professional, knowledgeable & great/ funny/ playful disposition & we left totally content & satisfied. We'd had a delightful & special dinner. Another blessing was that for our meal that included a large glass of wine, a Glenlivet scotch, neat, a beer, water & tip and still only totaled under $110. Recommendations: none for menu, but do consider making advance reservations.

It's expensive if you compare it to the surrounding restaurants, but it's worth it. Food is delicious and service is amazing. The environment is appropriate for a number of things, dates, girls night out, family reunions, birthdays, etc. My favorite thing to get here is some form of sushi roll. The portions are usually generous and I've never been disappointed with anything. They also have a lot of delicious signature drinks which I've had a time or two. The only downer of this otherwise wonderful place, is the parking. I would recommend you try and find something on the street, BUT if you're coming here on a weekend night, then just use the valet parking, trust me you'll save a lot of time by doing this.

I ordered the San Diego wrap with everything included, and my friend got the lamb & beef bowl with rice--both were absolutely delicious.

Everything was rich, savory, and deeply comforting. The rice was fluffy and aromatic, the kebabs were perfectly seasoned with that smoky char you want, and the fresh pita sealed the deal. Even the garlic sauce had that addictive, can't-stop-dipping quality. And the flatbread? Soft, warm, and layered with flavor. Portions are generous, flavors are authentic, and nothing felt rushed or watered down for the masses. Come here only if you love food that actually tastes like someone cares. This one's officially in the rotation.

I ordered the gyro wrap with cucumbers, and it was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned for the price. I also loved that you can easily customize your order. The tzatziki was delicious -- not overly garlicky -- and they thoughtfully packed it on the side so the wrap didn't get soggy. Our order was ready on time, service was smooth, and everything tasted great. Such a great first impression! This is definitely going on my regular takeout list.

As a result, the restaurant was not crowded, but they were out of several menu items. The restaurant is spacious and very color coordinated. The armrests on the chairs are at a slightly odd height for me but very aesthetic. This restaurant is family-run by a father and son duo. The father was cooking while his son was on the front end of things. The service was super friendly and I really appreciated that he explained the menu thoroughly to us. They were out of beef kabob and chicken shawarma (my go-to). I opted for the liver plate with fries, and also tried a bite of beef shawarma. We were also served a complimentary lentil soup as an appetizer. The soup was DELICIOUS. Soft and warm and comforting, with vermicelli bits in it. It was incredibly flavorful and soothing, something I would crave on cold days, sick days, any days really. I will definitely be finding recipes and attempting to make this myself. Middle Eastern places always have the most delicious, freshly fried fries, 10/10 no notes especially with ketchup (sue me, I'm basic XD). My grilled liver hit the spot. I think my one critique would be that because the pieces were quite large, some parts were quite tough. The roast onions and tomatoes had a good smoky char, and the portions were generous. After I polished off my first cube, the son swung by and set a grilled jalapeño down in front of me, saying that his father recommended parting it with the liver. It's personal touches like this that make me really love a local, family owned place! And his father was definitely right about the jalapeño. That and the pickled cabbage were the perfect complement for the rich, earthy liver. Prices were fair and portions were huge. The service was standout here as well. I would LOVE to come back and try their lamb dishes, and I definitely anticipate updating to a 5 star review then.
