Opened in 2024 as a 4,800-square-foot Middle Eastern concept by the CH Projects hospitality group, LEILA occupies 3956 30th St in the heart of North Park’s 30th Street dining corridor. The restaurant shares the upper 30th Street block with Riki Sushi, anchoring a stretch of destination dining between University Avenue and Adams Avenue. An open kitchen built around a vertical log fire turns out spit-roasted kebabs, saffron-laced tahdig, and Persian stews, while the bar program pours Aragh sagi, Arak, and Middle Eastern-inflected cocktails. After dinner, guests stepping onto 30th Street can walk to Gelati & Peccati for house-churned gelato sourced from Italian techniques. The two-level dining room, designed to evoke a Marrakesh night market with imported decor and a running interior stream, handles private buyouts and large-party reservations for groups seeking a full immersive Middle Eastern tasting experience.
